Smell-O Listeners of the Smellcast!
By now many of you probably know that Mevio has not just had a mega-glitch. They have “pivoted” into a new stratagem that has left many of us “producers of content” shit out of luck.
But fear not True Believers! I am busy looking into alternatives, and… well… be assured that the Smellcast and its entire cast of ne’er do wells will return soon with new progrums! Ummm… just as soon as I figure out how.
No, no no… HARRR!!! Of COURSE I mean, I have everything under COMPLETE control!!!! Yes I do! And sooner than later… No, I mean really… just you wait. I mean, I’m telling you right now… it’s going to be… well… it’s just going to be… erm… it’s going to be something else! HAH!!!
Seriously though, it won’t be too awful long before you will be hearing a way-out new podcast heading your way! Keep hanging loose and FACE-FRONTING! And all that sort of rot!
HEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…… WAHHHHHH!!!!
(gasp) No, I’m okay. HAH!! I kid… I’m a kidder! Really. I’m in TOTAL control. No, really. No, really. No. Really (wink!).
But Mevio? I’m not kidding about YOU. Nope. Not kidding.
Nope.
Nope.
Not kidding.
Just kidding.
Not really.

Hello listeners of the Smellcast! No links to the Smellcast are currently working as there seems to be a problem with the outfit (Mevio) that hosts my little show. Since no explanation has been offered to me by Mevio as to why The Smellcast has been suspended, I can not give you an explanation. I suspect it might just be a glitch in their operations (or something), and this is probably temporary.
The Bad news for you (and me) — and I really apologize — is that there just isn’t any way for you to listen to any episodes of the Smellcast until the issue with Mevio (whatever it is) is resolved. It could be days. Or it could be longer.
As soon as I learn something, I’ll pass it along here. In the mean-time, True Believers, hang loose and FACE FRONT!

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.

Tragically, Toppie breaks a nail! A Flat tire!! Then, there are some “shout-outs!” and… a parental update.

Toppie reflects on a family funeral that occurred over the holidays that put him in touch with a portion of the family he hasn’t had much contact with over the years.

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.
