Antiques Roadshow : The Dildo Appraisal

2/11/2025
Write us we would like to hear from you Two podcast hosts talk about "Antiques Roadshow" which presents an appraiser and a man at a yard sale. The expert attempts to evaluate an item hidden in a box, using tactile examination. The man resists, leading to a tug-of-war over the box's contents. The expert mistakenly identifies the object as an antique vase, speculating on its origins and value. The man reveals what it is, to which the expert seems unfazed, continuing his appraisal with suggestive movements. I wrote this as a sketch then told an AI podcast interview generator it was real.

Reason Yourself Rich: An AI Deep Dive Interview

2/10/2025
Write us we would like to hear from you From and an comedic article written by Tom Konkle, we used AI to analyze it and create an interview. The source material provides the script for a potential audio interview podcast titled "Reason Yourself Rich" by Renalde’ Deceptione and Sebastian Frightwig. The podcast's premise revolves around achieving wealth and power by embracing somewhat unconventional methods It also seems to heavily rely on humor, personal anecdotes, and a deliberately provocative style. Here's a possible structure and content outline for the podcast based on the source: Introduction: The hosts introduce themselves and the show's title, "Reason Yourself Rich" They highlight the goal of helping listeners achieve riches, with a disclaimer about the methods being "fool-retardant" rather than "fool-proof" Deceptione'ism: Explain the concept of "Deceptione’ism," which is presented as a guiding principle One example provided is: "If a person builds a sound character, they should not produce silent films" Personal Anecdotes and Humor: The hosts share personal stories, emphasizing the wilder and more controversial aspects of their past They invite listeners to share their experiences. Relaxation Techniques: The hosts present unusual relaxation techniques. For example, closing your eyes to feel the world around you, especially in a co-ed yoga class. They also include warnings against inappropriate behavior during visualization exercises. Lessons from Famous People: The hosts analyze the lives of successful people like Charlie Chaplin, but with a critical and humorous perspective They advise listeners not to emulate Chaplin's negative traits Dealing with Criticism: The hosts share their experiences with criticism and negativity, encouraging listeners to ignore it and pursue their dreams relentlessly They use the example of publishers rejecting their manuscript.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea starring Vernon Welles as Captain Nemo

12/31/2024
Write us we would like to hear from you Prepare to plunge into a reimagined, atmospheric adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, crafted in the brooding style with cinematic flair. This is not just a journey beneath the waves—it’s a descent into the human soul. Join Professor Aronnax, his loyal servant Conseil, and the brash harpooner Ned Land as they are swept aboard the enigmatic Nautilus, a submarine unlike any other, captained by the brilliant yet tormented Captain Nemo. Trapped within its iron confines, they are drawn into Nemo’s obsessive quest for freedom from a corrupt world above—a quest that spirals into vengeance, tragedy, and a confrontation with the unfathomable power of the sea. From breathtaking wonders of the deep to the haunting isolation of the abyss, this adaptation explores themes of freedom, captivity, and the price of defiance. With relentless action, vivid characters, and a chilling climax in the heart of a raging maelstrom, this is a journey that will leave you questioning: can we ever escape the weight of our own choices?" Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tom Konkle, bidding you goodnight from the shadowy corridors of the mind, where stories are told and dreams are shaped into the sounds you’ve just heard. Tonight’s production has been a humble offering from the Mindstream Players Radio Reborn Podcast—our attempt to bring you the extraordinary, the macabre, the moving, and the marvelous. I wanted to do an adaption of this Jules Verne classic but honor it by having a new take on it as a moody, introspective fever dream. Audio fiction leads itself to such things and so I began this tale. “But of course, no such endeavor is truly the work of one man. For tonight’s voyage into the theater of the mind, I owe my deepest thanks to my dear and talented friends: Vernon Welles as Nemo, Tom Konkle as Professor Aronnax, David Beeler as Ned, Paul Eiding as Conseil, with Pete Lutz, Larry Groebe, Jack Ward, and my own son, Sean Konkle. Their voices have lent life to the characters that moved and breathed within this little world we built together. "As always, the writing adaption, the music, the editing, and the direction—such as it is—are mine. A pleasure, as ever, to weave the tale. But the magic is yours, dear listeners. You make these stories live, simply by hearing them. “And so, until next time, we leave you here—between the ticking seconds, the fading echoes, and the whisper of dreams yet untold. I remain, as always, your obedient servant, Tom Konkle. Goodnight Support the show Lumen Actus Productions, Inc.
