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!

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!

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?

Last week, Adrienne and Katarina brought you characters so nice they had to write them twice!

Saddle up, listeners, you’re in for a wild ride.
