Direcast

A quick update

Thu, 11 May 2023 12:39:58 +0000

An apology for our unplanned hiatus.

Transcript:

Hello Dire Listeners.

You’ve probably noticed, we haven’t released a new episode in a while and seem to have gone dark with no warning. We are really sorry for the unplanned hiatus and lack of update.

Without going into too many details just for the sake of the cast members’ privacy, a few of us have been going through some very difficult personal events for the last few months and we have just not been able to dedicate the time, energy, or headspace required to record and produce the podcast. We are probably going to be on hiatus for a while longer, because we need some time to catch up with ourselves. We are very sorry for seemingly ghosting our feed for a couple of months, and we’ll do our best to keep you updated on when we’ll be back.

Thank you for your patience during this time, we really do hope we’ll be back making dumb jokes for you soon.

And until then, that’s just how the die are cast.

Horror in the Midwinter Episode Two: Yodelling

Sat, 18 Feb 2023 11:18:37 +0000

Cold you say, nah it's just a little warm in here. That's mainly because i am scared. Also the 15 layers of Lynx Africa I am wearing, mean I no longer deal with things such as homeostasis.

Winter is coming, merry Christmas! We delve into the worlds of dungeons and dragons for this episode of dnd, with a level series of level Zero characters, with a system Jacob assured us 'Works.'

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 00:18:49 +0000

We end our Millenial dungeon hunting, as it should be done. Over a great avocado and after a bout of covid. Will our monsters find a home, will Dan Masticates get a soul, and can a series of monsters find a place with a reasonable price within commutable distance of Narnia? Who can answer these questions?

Millennial Dungeon Hunters 1: Tasty Bailiffs

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 10:30:00 +0000

Sometimes I (Peter) wake up and am not Dan Masticastes. This is because I burn a picture of the band Blue but today I forgot. We go dungeon delving, not for gold, but for a home.

Warrior Poets Ep 4: Comma-nism

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 09:30:00 +0000

All things end in time

Almost two hours, in this case

Buckle up, fuckos!

Winter is coming, but frankly, we have enough on our plates as it is. Join us, dear listeners, on the feral, epic conclusion to a feral, epic odyssey that takes us from the borders of space to the deepest wells of the earth. One thing is for certain; somehow, it's all the fault of that bloody Fingburg.

Warrior Poets Ep 3: Slowly More Dutch

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 09:30:00 +0000

Autumn leaves us with

questions like, will Jacob win

a Haiku? Maybe

Look out it's only Autumn. The leaves are browning and so are people's chances of defending the emperor when Winter arrives. Let's not think about what I just wrote and know that this episode is full of questionable accents, questionable actions, and rivers full of emo. And the issue with emos is that you cannot clear them with a rake.

Summer is coming.

The Fire burns hot and so

does Matt. He's happy.

This week we run directly into summer and give more gifts to the emperor. This means we have to be in his presence and he's very happy to be showered in gifts and favour. And promote random animals to his court.
