Maureen Fossett-Kluter says she found Barty Bundle dead in Barty Bundle's Beanie Baby Bargain Barn basement.

1. StereoForest Comedy & Fiction Podcasts stages SEASON FINALE: The Haunted Mines from the haunted mines in Outer Grack. 2. Jenda Han hosts with Parker Spoon, and Tog later calls in from the road with Hoobastank, while Maureen Fossett-Kluter appears during a weather-and-insurance interruption. 3. The episode asks whether a haunted-mine broadcast can stay normal while bats, a missing person, and Ghost Away keep intruding. 4. Jen explains that the show is being recorded on cassette tape before it goes out, not through the cave walls. 5. Parker performs his “Bruce Conifer, man on the street” voice and uses it on a cashier in a role-play bit. 6. The sponsor segment for Ghost Away is framed as a product that gets rid of ghosts, even though Jen keeps correcting Parker not to mention werewolves. 7. Parker says he has bat guano in his pockets and plans to turn it into marigolds and a “world garden all across crackleton.” 8. Jen connects the haunted mines to Barty Bundle, who went missing there, and asks whether the dog Crewneck can help. 9. Parker’s Belgian Malinois bite leaves him with a leg wound, a tourniquet, and a growing cluster of bats attracted to the blood. 10. Jen repeatedly pushes him toward a rabies shot while Parker keeps describing the bats as if they are companions. 11. Tog says he is traveling with Hoobastank as a roadie, sleeping at numbered motels like Motel 6 and helping behind the stage. 12. Tog describes taking food along so he can get backstage access and says he has been turning Jen and Parker’s apartment into a “cruise of the senses.” 13. Jen answers Tog with a practical tip about the apartment’s medicine cabinet behind the mirror and jokes about a hidden shelf. 14. The listener question about squirrel social dynamics turns into a discussion of cats staring at squirrels through a black walnut tree window. 15. Jen says the squirrels seem to taunt the indoor cats from outside the glass, and Parker answers with a fictional squirrel kitchen scene. 16. The broadcast then breaks for a commercial in which Ghost Away is sprayed too closely and causes burning eyes. 17. Maureen Fossett-Kluter interrupts from Grax Public Access and says she found Barty Bundle dead in Barty Bundle’s Beanie Baby Bargain Barn basement. 18. Jen and Parker close by returning to the haunted mines, with Parker describing stalactites, stalled movement in the dark, and bats gathering around him. 19. People who like improvised comedy, local-radio absurdity, and bats-versus-blood chaos will get the most out of this episode. 20. People looking for a tidy mystery without digressions, songs, or deadpan chaos may skip it.

As heard by us

A strange, loose public-access comedy that plays like improvised radio play.

GRAC Public Access follows Jenda Han and Parker Spoon as they record outside Grackleton, with the show treating the broadcast like a cassette laid down before it goes out. The loose, improvised exchange gives it most of its pull.
