The Antiques Freaks are answering YOUR listener questions! From obscure blow molds to painful Victorian literature and everything between and beyond. What is Myrtle the Beetle and why is she so friend-shaped? What do Dee and Ken want buried with them when they die? What whimsical nonsense do they have planned for listeners in a post-Varney-the-Vampire podcasting landscape? Inquiring minds must know.

While Dee recovers from surgery, please enjoy this episode from our Varney vaults. Our friend Olivia rejoins us for Charles Holland's NaNoWriMo project, aka The Count of Monte Crisco. Check out Olivia's short speculative fiction and essays at ofcieri.com, and buy her spooky novels LORD OF THUNDERTOWN and BACKMASK!
