What is the episode’s opening ad and host introduction?
Today's episode is presented by Ice Cream Man. In theaters August 7th from the horror section. Writer and director Eli Roth wants you to cool off this summer in Baleen Bay, an idyllic small town that melts into sheer terror when an ice cream man serves up soft serve sweets with harrowing hardcore horror. Ari Miller stars as the titular terror, topped with music by Snoop Dogg and effects by Oscar winner Adrienne Moreau and Steve Newbern. Say it with me, folks. I scream, you scream. We all scream for Ice Cream Man. In theaters August 7th. Get tickets now.
Before we return to tonight's proceedings, permit me a brief recommendation. You see, I spend a great deal of time surrounded by unusual stories of unusual objects. A very small handful linger long after they've ended. Recently, I had the pleasure of encountering one such tale. It's called Don't Tell Alice. From the co-creator of Welcome to Night Vale and serving as a sequel to Alice Isn't Dead, it follows Keisha as she once again finds herself traveling the strange highways and forgotten backroads of America. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something far larger, involving parallel worlds, family tragedy, and consequences that may extend well beyond a single reality. It is thoughtful, unsettling, and wonderfully strange in all the right ways.
The sort of story that feels as though it was waiting for you just beyond the next exit. It stars Jessica Nicole and features a beautiful score and sound design by Disparition. You'll find Don't Tell Alice on the Alice Isn't Dead feed, wherever you listen to podcasts, with ad-free episodes available a week early on Patreon. And if you do decide to visit those lonely roads for yourself, well, do be careful what you discover... And whatever you do, don't tell Alice. Hello, dear friend. Before we continue our own collection this week, I'd like to share something rather special. Every so often, another curator uncovers an artifact so remarkable that it simply deserves a place on our shelves. Our friends at Campfire Radio Theater have been crafting some of the finest audio horror anywhere for well over a decade.
And today we're delighted to present one of their tales here in the Antiquarium. Featuring original stories alongside adaptations from remarkable authors such as Joe R. Lansdale, Soren Narnia, and H.G. Wells. It's a collection we genuinely admire. If you enjoy what you experience, and I suspect you will, I encourage you to seek out the rest of their extraordinary work. We'll return this Thursday with an all-new adventure into the Antiquarium. Until then, please enjoy Campfire Radio Theater with Paranormal Appraisal 151.
Welcome, friend. Have a seat by the fire.
How does the Antiquarium introduce Campfire Radio Theater and its creators?
Make yourself comfortable. The art and science of paranormal investigation had progressed over the years. But its goal was largely the same. To shed light on the unexplained. But also, perhaps more importantly, to provide victims of alleged hauntings comfort and support. To counsel and soothe fears. Professor Stuart Sangred had always succeeded in this task, debunking and disproving the various phenomena encountered. But the case that ultimately resulted in his abrupt retirement from the field, a case that baffles many still now, would not soothe anyone's fears.
You're listening to Campfire Radio Theater. Tonight's tale, a tasty bite-sized morsel from the haunted pen of Sorin Narnia. Rekindled for the Campfire by John Ballantyne. The play is called Paranormal Appraisal 151.
Hello, Tyler Lambert here, a student with the media department of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Today, I am shadowing one of our professors for our spotlight series. This is Professor Stuart Sandgrid, department chair in chemistry and also head of the parapsychology lab. Professor, you want to fill us in on what the plans are for today?
Well, essentially this is what we've come to refer to as a paranormal appraisal. We utilize various investigative methods to debunk phenomenon that have been observed by eyewitnesses.
Awesome.
