Dusty Farts – Episode 4: Nut Jobs

Release Date: September 2025 Runtime: ~20 minutes Audio Format: Immersive fiction – comedy, Americana, absurdity Recommended Listening: Stereo headphones encouraged for best experience Episode Summary Squirrels. Too many squirrels. That’s the gospel according to John (Dusty), who’s convinced the furry little schemers are running a covert operation in the park. Fred (Farts), meanwhile, insists on building a new rating system for nuts — because if coffee deserves a scale, so do pecans. From roadside benches to rambling squirrel sermons, the boys turn a quiet afternoon into a full-blown nut tribunal. Hope narrates as conspiracies crack open, snack foods get reclassified as philosophy, and the fine line between paranoia and wisdom becomes blurrier than a squirrel crossing at dusk. It’s 20 minutes of shells, schemes, and the sort of companionship only two curmudgeons could spin out of a bag of mixed nuts. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – suspicious of squirrels, suspicious of everything else too • Fred (Farts) – sentimental philosopher of pecans, walnuts, and snack-based rating systems • Hope – narrator, dry tour guide through paranoia and protein-packed logic Sound Stage • The Park Bench – chirping birds, rustling leaves, suspicious squirrel chatter, and the crunch of roasted opinions. Sound & Style Immersive stereo with outdoor ambience, snack crackles, and cheeky harmonica stings. Americana warmth wrapped in absurd banter, blending squirrel conspiracies with nut-fueled wisdom. For New Listeners The saga of Dusty and Farts is best enjoyed in order. Start with Episode 1 for booths, bacon, and begrudging tenderness, then settle in for the nuttiest installment yet. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — powered by screen reader wizardry, a microphone, and a suspicious trail of peanuts.
