  • Smiling Flood
    May 8 2024

    Do you hear that dripping? The constant droplets of water, falling square into the centre of your mind, endlessly? Even the largest mountains will eventually be worn down into dust by the ever-ongoing trickle of water. Now, what if that dripping were more drool like, and brackish? What if it were dripping from between two rows of teeth, and a pair of pale lips spread wide into a manic grin? Kinda gross, I'd imagine. But hey, at least they're having fun.

    Have you ever thought about how you're always between other things? Like how sometimes you're sitting between other people, and other times you're in between reading about and listening to the latest episode of Hook Cooks! Transitioning between things is quite interesting, like how we're all always slowly marching towards entropy. But this time, wizards are coming. Multiverse-traversing and incredibly jacked wizards. You've been warned, and now it's time to change.

    Feb 28 2024

    For when you're in the mouda, reach for the newest episode from the guys in the Kitchen of Creativity! These three cheesy chaps are churning through space and whipping up rebellion, complete with nondescript hero/mentor goings on, within the leftovers of something resembling a Space War. It's finally time to give this universe something to go twisty about.

  • 4rd Eye
    Jan 31 2024

    Lean back, relax your mind, exhale deeply, close both eyes, listen to the sounds of your body, feel the tension in your muscles, now close your other eye (the third one), feel yourself slipp- wait, do you still have *another* eye open? How are you still able to see me? Your forehead real estate is wild.

  • Silent Veil
    Jan 17 2024

    Don't bother tip-toeing around this episode- the hushed yet dulcet undertones of adventure, dripping from the silent, gaped maws of our hosts, snake inaudibly over still airwaves. But there is a light at the end of this tranquil tunnel- a musical light. A musical light wielded by a deaf subterranean creature. How, you ask? I don't know.
