68 - "How to Summon a Fish" by RabidRadioactiveRaccoons

David, Kaela and Papreeka have a hankering for some seafood this episode, but do they plan on going out to eat? Where’ the fun in that? Fortunately they have a handy guide submitted during the RitualPasta Challenge to aid them in this difficult task.

61 - Coffee & Pie Campfire Stories

Allen, Sean, De’Markcus and Brad bring you campfire stories. With no campfire. Recorded in a truck. While someone blasts techno music in the background. Huh…

58 - "The Comfy and Cozy Cabin"

David and Allen feel anything but comfy and cozy in this cabin.

Story’s original author unknown. Read along here.

56 - "Sonic.exe" (ft. Random Encounters)

I shouldn't have recorded this episode with Kaela, AJ, Gwen and Nate while making Blues Traveler references, but anyway...

55 - "A Diary in a Mine"

David and Abysmii make a descent into the dark depths of this week’s story, and sadly neglected to bring along a certain robot canary to check for toxic gases. Will they strike gold, or is this epistolary story a dead end?

Story credited to Daltsch. Read along here.

35 - Short and Shivery 26

Fair warning: Allen himself has stated these two interconnected stories might, in fact, be the dumbest things he and David have read on the show. Will it prove to be true?

34 - "Ubloo" Part 2

It’s the further adventures of Dr. Apathy, now adding detective to the list of things he’d done in this asinine trip into the troubled dreams caused by Ubloo. David, Kaela, Abysmii and Papreeka only now realize how long a haul this saga might be…

33 - "The Silent Film Museum"

Ever wonder what a silent podcast would be like? Wait, nevermind... Here's David, Kaela and Ben Spiegel talking about a spooky silent film story, featuring an in-story cameo by Allen's ancestor, Lon Chaney.

31 - "Pie is the Fore of Life" (ft. Coffee and Pie)

It's a podcast within a podcast as the semi-retired crew of Coffee and Pie have invaded UCA. Join host Allen and his co-hosts Sean, Brad, De'Markcus and guest Vivian as they read a story that takes...one hell of a turn.

25 - "Ubloo" Part 1

In a twist that surprised David, Kaela, Abysmii and Papreeka, what begins as a fairly straightforward read into a story about nightmares quickly reveals itself to be the hidden backstory of one of the UCAHACU's myriad characters. Does this make the story unintentionally more enjoyable? You bet it does.

12 - Wrestling Creepypasta

If it exists, then there's probably Creepypasta of it: such is the case for Allen and his Monday Night crew as he brings them on to see if there's any good stories that are based around professional wrestling. Will they succeed, or are they just trying to distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table?

08 - "Rediscovering the Newness of Sex"

In honor of Pride Month, Kaela gathers the other LGBTQ members of Creative Horror to read a "gay Creepypasta." Will it meet their expectations of being both creepy AND gay? Can a story be both of those things successfully?

"Rediscovering the Newness of Sex" is credited to Max Lobdell. Read along here.

07 - "A Madman's Guide to the Unrecommended" Part 2

Picking up where they left off, David and Slimebeast cover more amusing and confusing anecdote from the mysterious Madman's writings, and finally reach a verdict on their feelings about the story. But did they follow the instructions to the letter?

06 - "A Madman's Guide to the Unrecommended" Part 1

David's got a new subscription to a very strange guidebook, and luckily Slimebeast is here to help get the instructions clear on how to make contact with the supernatural. Will the Madman's work be a helpful read, or will it leave its readers scratching their heads?

04 - Gettysberg Ghost Story

One very short and possibly shivery story culled from Not Hot But Spicy has been laid at David and Seid's feet this episode. Though untitled, it's PA setting and specific voice certainly give it a personality. But what's the endgame for this ghost story?

The author of this story is unknown. You can find it on nothotbutspicy.com.

03 - "A Scarecrow For God"

If you stare into the stars long enough, do the stars stare back? David, Allen and Abysmii are going to find out in this odd sci-fi account of a cosmic discovery that could shake humanity's understanding of life to its core. Does the story succeed in this profound attempt, or is it trying to shout into a void?
