Reunited with his long-suffering companions—ace pilot and "Dog of Derring-Do" Dusty St. Clair, the dangerous and perceptive Red Scarlett, the inexplicable Gax, and a growing cast of priests, frauds, revolutionaries, possible idiots, and a world that increasingly insists he matters.

But first... a quick Side Mission to Hell!

He has since acquired a new title, somehow less appealing than the last: Lord Leto the Off-Putting. Sadly, he remains just as grotesque as ever.

Rune and the Miggins finally arrive in Flameswallow in search of aid from an old ally: Thorson Yetiskull — berserker, cannibal, a surprisingly good wind surfer... Unfortunately, not all is well in Flameswallow. Once a thriving artist community filled with performers, drunks, visionaries, drunks pretending to be visionaries, and at least three competing experimental flute movements, the town has since collapsed into a barren ghost settlement where the citizens live in terror of even speaking the name “Thorson” aloud. Which is awkward, considering Rune needs to find someone with that exact name. Their first stop, Caesar Sid’s, provides a unpleasant surprise: the once-famous tavern is now overflowing with redcaps, the fungal rage goblins, and their obsession with Squamish! The Further Adventures of Rune is a serialized fantasy comedy podcast and absurdist audio drama featuring 30+ unique voices performed by a single creator, cinematic sound design, and a rich classical score that will surely make your band director proud. Created by Mike Watt and starring actress/producer Amy Lynn Best as Circe Circa, this is not an audiobook or a radio play—it’s an AudioToon: a hybrid of storytelling, performance, and satire.

| CHUNK THE 17TH - AMONG OTHER THINGS, BARLOWS AND REDCAPS | 11 May 2026 | 00:13:47 | |
The fearful creature lurking within the enormous egg atop the unclimb-downable mountain turned out to be a freshly hatched Baba Yaga Jr.’s — confused, terrifying, and apparently in desperate need of parental supervision. Naturally, the Miggins immediately adopt it as a mode of transportation… Using the gangly monstrosity to descend the mountain without instantly plummeting to their deaths, the party makes its way toward Flameswallow — the once-renowned artist colony where they hope to recruit another ally to their increasingly questionable cause. But something is wrong. Very wrong. Visible in the distance lies what appears at first to be a toppled cathedral sprawled across the landscape like the ruins of some ancient civilization. Except cathedrals generally do not possess arms and legs. No... It’s a dead Barlow. Plus, a SONG: "Recaps" The unicorn is corny and the porcupine is thorny and the hippogriff is often horny when it lands. But of all the “magic” creatures, with their myriad of features, the Redcaps are the most miserable, down hands. They’re lumpy and they’re dumpy Unreasonable and grumpy. Their only joy is making others mad. It’s an infection that they spread in wishing others dead. It’s what hatred becomes when it’s no longer a fad. They resist all rehabilitation.

Rune and the Miggins (Dusty, Scarlet, the Gax, Eccles and Bluebottle, Brother Theodore, and Father Don), make it to the deafening Gate to the Garden of Trogly Delights - an amusingly-horrible trip, leaving behind Dante and racing through an Anonymous Bosch.
