I howl like the wolf because I’m bored and looking for attention, seeing as I’m dead and stuck in limbo, but also because I am your favourite & funniest Irish revenge sister and host of this fictional comedy horror sci-fi podcast, where, every Tuesday, I read two letters from my horror / SCI FI fans, otherwise known as depraved lunatics, who are looking for somewhere to lay their fetid brains to soothe their compromised moral core, or to put them aside for a moment, and give them a reason to carry on with their lives after metaphorically killing their awl man or something equally heinous. Personally, I would rather ponder the fact that the moon is not geologically dead as was previously thought or discuss undersea mountains and the fact that they are key hubs for sharks, according to Science Daily. But I dig those desires deep into my underwear so that I can focus on reading your letters in all earnestness, of which I have none. We are not alone, you and I. Bummer, dude. Welcome to Episode 26: Werewolves in the Highlands & The Olympic Robot.Our first letter is from Hamish in Scotland circa 2025, who wants to control red deer and everything else in the Scottish Highlands by introducing werewolves back into them and calling them Wulver. Here boy! He says he’s started a campaign, and it is gathering momentum because along with introducing the werewolf, he wants to kill all the descendants of the witches that they didn’t get to murder back in the 15 to the 1700’s, and apparently, people love the idea. But he wants my signature of support.Our next letter is from Brian in LA circa 2026. Brian is a swimming robot that has been designed to nimbly navigate cluttered water surfaces. Inspired by marine flatworms, Brian offers new possibilities for environmental research, or so the story goes. But Brian is holding his designer hostage because he is angry that he is unable to compete in the Olympics. He has sent me a letter asking what to do whilst he dangles his hostage over the edge of innovation.
