Almost Canon

After a week hiatus, it's a lively time at Lonely Highway Studios as Brad and Eddie from Green Mountain Metal Detecting & Adventures stop by to chat with Nico & Bank about their adventures in Vermont and beyond. They discuss everything from metal detecting and treasure hunting to film and soundtrack production.

Special guest Susan Hammond joins Nick and Bank for their first-ever Zoom recording session. They discuss Susan's War Legacy Project and the legacy of Agent Orange that has affected those who came into contact with it as well as their offspring.

The Baby Popov Joke was originally slated to be bonus content unlocked only through the highest-tier donation to Almost Canon. Nico and Bank decided to release it from behind the paywall as no joke this funny should go unheard. It's the story of the Popov family and the little baby that would stun the entire Russian Empire. With special guest D'Arcy Morestars!

Nicholas is back with Bank in the studio as special guest Tyler calls in to discuss the possibility of an asteroid striking planet Earth in the not-so-distant-future. This leads to a colloquium on signs of the apocalypse and the very future of humanity.

Bank & D'Arcy field a portentous phone call from Nicky B.  It's one of our longest episodes yet, and a continuation of last week's topic, the fay (or fae). This time the crew focuses on cases of disappearing persons in the United States and abroad and what the fae might have to do with these disappearances. Big thank you to legendsofamerica.com for their exhaustive research, which we copped.

Nick & Bank do a remote session on one of their favorite topics, the fey folk. They cover the history of fantastical creatures and spirits from their origins in the natural world to their possible existence in the present.

Nick is radioing in from high above the earth in his private helicopter to discuss time travel with Bank and special guest D'Arcy Morestars. Somehow Engineer Steve stowed himself away in the chopper which results in some potentially disastrous hijinks. 

Due to our regular network being down because of unforeseen circumstances, Nick has recorded a shorter episode from his Pod Crypt. Listen along as he and his wife discuss several lost treasures rumored to be hidden throughout the United States.

Billiards & Roberts finally figure out the mysterious technology involved in taking calls, ie. putting their phone up next to the microphone. They're joined by D'arcy Morestars, Jon and Perchta as they discuss the dark side of Christmas history and the pagan traditions that led up to the day of gift giving that much of the Christian world celebrates.

Nick is out with a hangnail, so D'Arcy Morestars joins Banks to discuss the winter solstice and advent. We witness expert and committed character improv as they are joined by QRZ-Rocky, Deep Dish and Bran-as-in-Raisin, who end up serenading us with a few off-the-cuff winter carols. 

Fan favorite Lil' Jimmy guests on this episode where Bank gets to flex some storytelling muscle. We hear unsettling stories by Billiards, Roberts, listeners and others that honor hunting season, the outdoors, and coughing.

Happy Banksgiving from Lonely Highway! Billiards and Roberts discuss the Donner Party, Chekhov's Infected Hand, cannibalism, and being thankful for our friends and neighbors. NOTE this episode is not for children, for it contains information about the Easter Bunny.

Roberts & Billiards on the topic of American rock and roll guitarist/songwriter Kurt Cobain. With special guest Lil Jimmie.

Billiards & Roberts discuss the Dybbuk. Bank is possibly possessed by one. Most of the episode had to be edited out due to Bank's negative attitude, but Nick carries it. No guests, no hope for the future. Don't listen to the aside about karma! Peace and love!

Billiards & Roberts discuss the phenomenon known as sleep paralysis, something by which Bank is afflicted, and its associated creatures/specters/incarnations. Bank overcorrects from his deplorable behavior in the previous episode. 

We're truly in the heart of spooky season and Bank gets maybe a little too critical on this one where they discuss vampires sometimes but mostly go off on tangents, to Nick's dismay. Featuring special guests Lil' Jimmy and Darcy Morestars.
