Release Date: September 2025 Runtime: ~15 minutes Audio Format: Immersive fiction – comedy, Americana, absurdity Recommended Listening: Stereo headphones encouraged for best experience Episode Summary This week, John (Dusty) and Fred (Farts) wander into uncharted territory: the city’s blood donor bus. Not for civic duty, mind you, but for the perks—free cookies, questionable coffee, and a chance to turn reclining donor chairs into yet another “booth.” Hope narrates as our heroes heckle squirrels, grade coffee filtered through medical-grade confusion, and discover that not all mugs look the same. with the delightfully chaotic Dr. Bobby, whose medical wisdom lands somewhere between battlefield triage and bake sale disasters. It’s a sideshow of syringes, snack negotiations, and the kind of brotherhood that proves even in the face of needles (and suspicious liquids), sarcasm flows stronger than blood. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – ever-skeptical curmudgeon, coffee critic, squirrel’s nemesis • Fred (Farts) – sentimental schemer, cookie enthusiast, professional complainer • Dr. Bobby – eccentric Eastern European doctor with goat-filled anecdotes and a cursed Casio watch • Hope – narrator, conspiratorial and bemused guide through medical mayhem Sound Stage • The Blood Donor Bus – a rolling clinic-meets-carnival: squeaky recliners pushed into “booth” formation, needle taps, coffee pours, and the hum of questionable medical equipment Sound & Style Immersive stereo with bus ambience, harmonica wipes, and the blend of Americana warmth and absurd banter. Expect spitting coffee, goat-sized metaphors, and sarcasm so sharp it could pierce a vein. For New Listeners Start with Episode 1 for booths, bacon, and begrudging tenderness. By the time you reach Episode 5, you’ll understand why even a blood bus can’t drain these two of their nonsense. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — brewed with screen reader wizardry, a microphone, and more questionable coffee than the Red Cross would ever endorse.
