Does This Happen to You

Does This Happen to You

Striving to bring a giggle and weirdness to your day, this podcast’s mission is to feature fantastic writers whose wonderful stories deserve to be heard in audio. And it feeds my love of telling funny stories about life, befuddlement, and the odd adventures in life. I have an affinity for the funny in the mundane, always have. I cataloged my weird adventures at the gym into a one-woman show that you can watch on my YouTube channel. It’s entitled Does This Happen to You at the Gym. I got a lot of joy out of that, so I began writing about my adventures. There was no way I could write enough for a weekly podcast, so I began telling funny stories by other writers. And I’m still at it.

The Canterville ghost is having a bad week, not just a bad day. Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite authors. He hits the nail on the head with this hilarious story where the supernatural meets sarcasm. 

Please let me know if you enjoy this special story. I'll ferret out more of them from the catalogue of out-of-print, often out-of-mind, amazing stories.

Just a woman, a glass of water, and a guest she didn’t RSVP. A hilarious story by Bev Potter, who you will find on Medium.com and Substack. Maybe you don't want to leave that glass of water sitting out. You may feel like googling parasite infestation!

An amazingly mustached man races through the streets, chasing down his elusive prey—a suspect? A jogger? A guy just late for lunch? No one knows. When the pursuit reaches peak intensity, an unexpected villain enters the scene: a bird. One tragic misstep, and suddenly, justice (?) is served. But the real mystery remains—who was guilty of what? 

The Bird Trip, a crime story by Parker McCoy, delivers. Check out more stories on Parker'...
