BONUS: Spreading Christmas Cheer With A Story Cube Game Inspired by Paul McCartney's Classic "Wonderful Christmastime"

We’re simply having a Wonderful Christmastime at Rhapsody in Reverie! Just in time for the festive season, Adrienne and Katarina wrap up the year with their last bonus episode of 2021. Set to Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime,” our intrepid duo tell a wild tale of Christmas tree farms, big city boys, small town girls, and…speakeasies. And a main character named Paul, but not for the reason you think! Maybe it’s Christmas Magic, maybe it’s the 5 cups of coffee Katarina had before recording, but this bonus episode will turn out to be a magical experience.

BONUS: A Thanksgiving Inspired Story Cube Tale To The Grateful Tune of Nat King Cole's "Thanks To You"

In the Fourth--ahem, Third installment of our Bonus Content, Adrienne and Katarina unleash their story cubes on Nat King Cole’s “Thanks to You,” in honor of the Thanksgiving season. But in the spirit of the chaos of these episodes, things go a little bit...spacey. Will our intrepid duo tell a cohesive tale of holiday travel, Egyptology, and romance? Will they capture the spirit of giving and gratitude? Or will they end up totally-not-ripping off a Canadian sci-fi show that definitely does not already exist? Tune in for this special episode of Rhapsody in Reverie to find out!

Happy Thanksgiving, Listeners! We’re so grateful for all of you!

BONUS: More Story Cube Tales and Games Inspired By Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl" Live From The Woods Somewhere

Adrienne and Katarina are back for another bonus episode, this time broadcasting from an undisclosed location in the middle of the woods! And what better way to celebrate getting in touch with the wilderness than by telling a story about a Bigfoot who just wants to be a #Girlboss? Set to “Rich Girl” by Gwen Stefani, this round of Rory’s Story Cubes is bound to make you laugh, scream, and perhaps even warm your hearts. Or hey, it’ll at least make you laugh.

BONUS: Playing Games on Summer Vacation with Some Quick Music-Inspired Tales of Nonsense

Our serious stories are taking a pause for the rest of our summer vacay! It’s game time on Rhapsody in Reverie as Adrienne and Katarina play Rory’s Story Cubes, and use them to try and tell you two great (albeit nonsensical) stories, inspired by “Talk Dirty” by Jason Derulo and “Live & Let Go” by Paper & Places. Will our storytellers be stumped by these quizzical cubes? Will Adrienne understand French? Will Katia mourn the loss of her beloved gnome character? Tune in now to find out!

Season 6 Episode 6: Full Moon: Taking One Last Ride with Willow and Judah in Stories Inspired by Avi Kaplan's Song, "Full Moon"

It’s time to saddle up for one last ride… This time on Rhapsody in Reverie, Adrienne and Katarina conclude the epic four-episode saga of Willow and Judah.The clock is ticking as time runs out for our beloved cowboy exorcist, whose past is finally on the verge of catching up with him. Will he be able to reach Willow in time to save her from the fires of her anger before she burns out completely? Or will her rage lead her on a path to revenge that neither of them will come back from? Inspired this time by Avi Kaplan’s song “Full Moon,” our intrepid podcasters push their stories to new heights, and try to answer the question… How do you save a poltergeist?

Updates, Announcements, and a Sneak Peak At Our Upcoming Episode

Hey there listeners! It’s your friendly neighborhood co-host, Adrienne, here with a couple updates on the show. You may have noticed it has been a while since our last episode.

Season 6 Episode 5: Ivy: Continuing Our Cowboy Adventure With More Short Stories of Love and Betrayal Inspired By Taylor Swift’s Evermore Hit, “Ivy”

Saddle up, cowboys! It’s time to continue the story of Judah, the exorcist cowboy, and his terrible life choices. Adrienne and Katarina draw inspiration from another T-Swift hit, “Ivy,” and ask the question…”what about the wife?” Will our storytellers manage to add another meaningful layer to their trilogy? Will Judah, Willow, and Ivy finally stop living in their heads rent free? Will a misheard lyric spell ‘doom’ for this installment? All of these questions and more will be answered on this episode of Rhapsody in Reverie!

Season 6 Episode 4: Willow: Weaving Old Western Tales of Love and Betrayal Inspired By Taylor Swift’s Witchy and Wonderful Evermore Single, “Willow”

Last week, Adrienne and Katarina brought you characters so nice they had to write them twice! Serendipitously inspired by “Willow,” the lead single from Taylor Swift’s surprise album Evermore, Adrienne and Katarina are riding back out into the wild west and back in time for a prequel to the thrilling adventure of our lonely cowboy, Judah, and his vengeful poltergeist from the Cat Clyde “I Don’t Belong Here” episode. Who was this haunting spirit? How did they die? What did Judah do to earn their wrath? All will be revealed in two epic short stories filled with love, desire, and betrayal. Grab your cowboy hats and wreck your plans, dear listeners, as Adrienne and Katarina discuss Taylor Swift’s enchanting hit and take you on another wild ride.

I Don’t Belong Here: A Haunting Ride through the Wild West, inspired by Cat Clyde’s “I Don’t Belong Here”

Adrienne and Katarina ride back into the podcast in their triumphant return from their holiday break! This week, they talk about Cat Clyde’s dark, indie hit, “I Don’t Belong Here,” and craft a set of stories you wouldn’t believe. Moved by the song’s feelings of self-imposed isolation and nomadic existence, Adrienne and Katarina found inspiration in an unlikely place for their tales: westerns. From a vengeful poltergeist who just wants to watch the world burn around her, to an exorcist cowboy trying to set things right, our stories this week are ones you’ll have to listen to in order to believe. Saddle up, listeners, you’re in for a wild ride.

Adrienne and Katarina are about to unleash the gift of reckoning upon you all this week. Inspired by The Maine’s holiday classic “Ho Ho Hopefully,” our dynamic duo have crafted two very wholesome holiday romances that rival the sappy nature of the Hallmark Channel. Ever driven yourself to distraction while struggling to find a loved one the perfect gift? Have you ever wondered if the cuffing season affects Santa’s elves who work at the mall? Then grab your hot cocoa, cozy up with a warm blanket, and let the fireplace roar: it’s time for the Christmas episode!
