The Bear’s Grove Bardic Circle #0!

February 1st, 2006

Welcome to this very special edition of The Bear’s Grove!

This is the Episode 0 podcast of “The Bear’s Grove: Bardic Circle”
Located at http://feeds.feedburner.com/bardscircle, with the show notes at
http://bardscircle.blogspot.com, the Bardic Circle is a spoken-word / dramatic reading podcast of original RPG, gaming and game-related fantasy, horror and science fiction.

This week’s story is “Sweet Pain Free,” by Sam Chupp, voiced by Juliann of the It Won’t Kill You podcast. This story was originally written for the ShadowNEssence website / forum. It is a horror story in the “Wraith: the Oblivion” universe and really should be rated PG-13 or R - so it is NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR AROUND KIDS.

Music is by Fumitaki Anzai.

[Edited to be]
This podcast once featured music from a certain artist. Because that artist uses unethical practices when recording others without their knowledge and consent, I have withdrawn all support from this artist. Thus, the music has been removed. I apologize if this causes you difficult in the podcast itself.

We return to our regular format next week. Thanks!
