Today we're visiting an old friend, Uncle Stevie King, with a Lovecraftian pastiche so scary it'll collate your epistles!

Check it out! Our 2nd episode ever! Brought back to wheezing life and stinking of funereal cerements!

Despite the fact that we were still feeling our way through the process, this is still a great episode with a great horror story at its core, paired with two beers that'll make you pine for the good ol' days of postwar urban decay.

Listen and learn:

• How to pronounce "Rauchbier"!
• How to comport yourself during a podcast when you can't hear yourself!
• How to mistake Chicago for New York!
• Fun things about Fritz Leiber Jr!

We'll be back on March 30 with a BRAND STINKING NEW episode. Till then, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the Altes.
