Disaster strikes at the Mihmiverse Bonfire Podcast!

Despite burn restrictions and eminent sickness, podcast host Rhuby managed to single-handedly produce a highly-entertaining episode. And, though not being released precisely on the "15th-ish," it still comes "skidding in" before the end of October!

In this episode, you'll hear our intrepid host as she sorts through and takes in a whole cadre of things that have been squirreled away during the previous 72 episodes of the show. She catches up with the "goings on" of some absent friends, brings in a special edition of "Peter Flynn's Corner" and a special item for Michael "The Monster" Kaiser (bom-bom). She even fits in a few important things for writer/director Christopher R. Mihm to take note of!

Though it's been months since the podcast crew found themselves recording around a blazing bonfire in the great outdoors, this month's episode proves they certainly didn't forget how! Thanks to a gorgeous late-Spring evening, the fire was roaring and the mood was perfect. AND, to make things even more interesting, hosts Rhuby 'n' Hater decided to surprise writer/director Christopher R. Mihm with their guest selection (you'll have to listen to find out who)!

Fire-tender Stephen Miller (Lord of the Flame, Master of Games) joined in the fun and frivolity as tales were told, secrets revealed and embarrassment reigned supreme!

As the endless frigid Minnesota winter rages on, podcast hosts Rhuby 'n' Hater and perma-guest writer/director Christopher R. Mihm are stuck back in the basement huddled around the "Mitch Gonzales memorial" candle.

The Mihmiverse Bonfire Podcast returns with a bang as hosts Rhuby 'n' Hater and perma-guest writer/director Christopher R. Mihm overcome their winter blues long enough to record one of the most entertaining episodes in quite some time!

This month, the podcast crew mix up the format (a little) when they welcome their guest, the ever-talented Rachel Grubb (Amy/Hagra), into the podcast basement (sadly, the fire pit is still covered by two feet of snow) to watch and record the first-ever MBP3K "commentary" for Mr. Mihm's (and Ms. Grubb's) first film in the Mihmiverse series, "The Monster of Phantom Lake."

Hijinks and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" references abound!

On a blisteringly cold winter day, the main Mihmiverse Bonfire Podcast crew found themselves together and ready to record the best podcast they've ever recorded! A full twenty minutes later... everything fell apart as illness struck one of the hosts and Hater was called away on "business."

In place of the "greatest-podcast-ever-recorded," this month's episode turned into the first-ever Mihmiverse Bonfire Podcast clip show, covering every episode released in 2013. All audio clips were pulled from the 37-minute mark of the second file (or first, if only one existed) for each month. The final result is magically odd and highly entertaining.

Enjoy!
