Introducing the Goat American Novel, a gothic barnyard audio drama by subversive family storyteller Hilde Festerling.

In this Season Finale, the existing high caprine drama collides with the imagination and practical skills of a little brother on the move.

Will all the rising action be wrapped up? No, listeners, we are still in the middle of our saga, but this double episode will settle some questions and hopefully, leave you in bleeting eagerness for Season Two.

It's a long one! Double length, listen as you please at your own pace. Thanks for being our listeners.

Thanks as always to Ursula Buker, Gabriel Alden, Caleb Alden, Johnny Buker, Erin Alden, Courtney Lyons, the musicians of the Electric Unicorn sessions, and the Steam Brass Band for their ongoing excellent contributions!

In which ouija boards- one regular, one made out of an accursed farm sign- are consulted regarding the supernatural business on the farm. How many ghosts are in this episode? It's not an exact science, but Ruby One Horn is surely here, and at least one haunted cat....

Special thanks this episode to Cora Lyons Smoker, guest starring at the Baker's Daughter. Featured also this week is the foley soundwork of plingavator, kyle'scountry, Rutger Miller, Bevibevel design, and stevious, and Clifford Brown's historic recording of Stardust.
