“Honesty may be hard…
but it’s not militant.”
Craig the Freak Geek
In part two of my conversation with Craig, we delve into more serious subject matters as we discover the feisty Craig! Craig candidly explains how he deals with conflict, rage, frustration, and bigotry. Hear about his cautions and empathy for gay and lesbian youth. Craig explains why he is not happy in the space he is in now and expresses his thoughts and fears about his immediate future.
Please listen to Craig’s interview with the Ramble Redhead to learn more about Craig’s University struggles.

This episode is really nothing more than an embarrassment to the Smellcast. You probably shouldn’t listen. There’s probably a couple new mystery sub-plots introduced here and frankly it’s just not worth your time. Anyways… it’s all just loads of embarrassment for Toppie, to be totally honest. No really. This episode is an embarrassment. Still… if you really think you’re going to listen… Kind of really a turn-off episode, really. Don’t even try to listen. Anyways… there is an appearance by Mark in Canada… or Musing mark… or whatever he calls himself. Other than that you can skip this one. Also, there’s something about Aunt Tappie… but I wouldn’t worry about it.

Toppie begins his third year on the Smellcast with a special welcome from Brother Cinaedus! Sassy reveals he is on a diet for his boyfriend Sebastienne (who supposedly lives in France). Mention is made of the weight loss challenge going on over at Gay Life of A Country Boy. Toppie finally reveals the answer to an old TV theme song mystery he once asked listeners to identify. It was the theme from a 1974 Television series called The Magician, starring Bill Bixby (Toppie says he had a major crush on Bill Bixby when he was a kid). Also, find out what the Fey Driver sent Toppie! And finally, listen as Jose Santos (portrayed in today’s episode by Musing Mark of Cananda) departs to begin his search for his beloved, Walter Snicker-Snicker.
