77 - "There is a Dog Living in a Seemingly Abandoned House" by Cainmak
76 - "Channel One"
David, Kaela, Allen and Seid stay up way too late reading an anonymously-submitted story that they had started to read on their last livestream. Lost media tropes abound, but are they done right in this case?

72 - "The Stickermen" by Abysmii
Shaking things up with a role-reversal, David and Kaela put an Abysmii story to the test with a little help from Slimebeast. They’ll need this chilly story to beat the heat, as that (and social distancing) seem to making David in particular kinda loopy this episode…

71 - "The Twins" (Part 3)
At long last, Prasokour’s two-into-three-part saga concludes with a Faustian bargain, and we conclude with talk of aurochs for some strange reason…

70 - "The Twins" (Part 2)
Pras has sent us the second part of his swampy saga, and David, Kaela, Abysmii and Papreeka creep back into the bog to see if one desperate woman’s plan to save her dying husband will prevail, even in the face of mounting terror… and some of our terrible jokes and tangents.

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.

66 - "The Queue Line"
Taking a critique request from a previous DisneyPasta Challenge-entrant, David and Kaela invite Eli and Kylie from Cinema Nippon and Animal Fact Files to stand in line with them for Pirates of the Caribbean… or at least read a story about standing in line for Pirates with a spooky twist.
65 - "The Twins (Part 1)"
Old friend-of-the-show Prasokour has handed David, Kaela, Abysmii and Papreeka a mysterious letter, somberly written to a sick husband by a determined wife. What does it entail, and why does the concept of foreclosure suddenly have Kaela in an absolute fit of giggles? Listen, and shake your head slowly at these weirdos.

Christmas Eve delivers an unexpected meeting as David and Kaela hang with Abysmii and Papreeka face-to-face. They choose to unwrap a story about a weird little learning aid in the shape of a finger puppet. Is there any holiday flair to be had? Does the story hold up? And do David and Kaela seem a little… off somehow?

62 - "A Game of Tag" by Cainmak
A new era of UCA begins properly with David, Kaela and Abysmii reading a listener-submitted story about that feels very classically “Creepypasta.” There’s also some talk about fire-breathing swans that may or may-not be relevant to the narrative discussion.

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?

54 - "A Strange Night in the City of Angels"
This episode is legitimately cursed. You have been warned.
Story credited to JR22. Read along here.

48 - "Sex, Drugs, and Immortality"
Did you know there’s apparently two versions of “6 Underground” by the Sneaker Pimps? One’s the original and one’s a remix. David didn’t until he started editing this episode… Oh, and he and Allen read a story about vampires.

Another banterclass episode wherein David, Allen and Mike talk about a bunch of stuff, eventually read the story, and then talk about more stuff. This might not be the one for you if you want a simple straight read, but for those who like hearing asinine conversation, this is the one for you.
