Wherein Harry says Moo.Everything goes to hell in Chichen Itza. Its a tough night for super ladies as Lea doesnt get to sacrifice a virgin, Arianna doesnt get to execute her coup of the red king, and Molly starts to bleed out.Almost every character gets their big action moment, most especially, a badass Sword of Faith-wielding Murph who slices and dices with aplomb. The Grey Council turns the tide and helps us break through the demon horde, but only enough to face the impenetrable combined wills of the Lords of Outer Night and the Red King, himself.Thomas makes it up to DJ Molly C, Murphy and Sanya decide to hold the door at the very likely cost of their own lives. while Harry makes it into the temple just in time to be flattened once more by the tiny monarch...things seem bleak as Rampire Numero Uno raises the blade above Maggie.Dont wait for a holy proclamation, the blood slip-n-slide is perilous but worth the risk.

Wherein Harry learns to teleport...more or less.We escaped FBI interrogation, survived a drive by, blew up a red court base, learned some fae lore, and all but confirmed Rudy is dirty.So why does it feel like we arent making progress? We know our target is in Mexico and our white knight is in the fridge....a choppy chunk 3 of Changes hits RIGHT NOW!Audio issues plagued the first attempt, and the new mics hit about halfway through...youll probably notice when.

Wherein Harry and Murphy are sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.A tricky case where there initially seems to be no proof that the deceased are victims leads our investigative stars into a a trip to the Illinois State Fair and a ride through the Tunnel of Terror that turns romantic for our star-crossed heroes.There's mind whammies a-plenty, Harry chews on his foot a bit, and we get an interesting peak into inter-court relations amongst the undead.It's a brief and an enjoyable, if not outstanding, side quest before we start chewing on Changes next week. So, Hey Rube, come try your luck!

Wherein Harry, uh...wins? We win, but woof. Morgan is persona non grata from the White Council--and also, ya know, dead; Harry and Luccio have only questions and regrets; The Circle is as powerful as ever, potentially with a spot on the Senior Council itself; Thomas is now a bad, bad man...hell, we had to start a new conspiracy just to stay sane!Life and game night goes on, but things can never go back. Molly is one mind-vasion away from a twirly moustache, the council trusts Harry as far as Morgan can throw him, and we need new bedding at the Fortress of Dresditude!!We close the book on Turn Coat with a doozy of a three chapter finale.

Wherein: The music starts and our wizard hosts a Demonreach Dance Party and all the cool kids (murderous bad guys, murderous good guys, Toot-Toot!) are invited! Our plucky and/or foolish hero charges across Demonreach alongside powerful allies, but few he can trust. We only have to overcome an army of Binder's goons, a psycopathic Succubus, a master of shadows with a whole clutter of Aragogs, a 10 foot tall semi-divine shapeshifting nightmare, and a cloud of mistrust and enmity from the only people technically on Harry's team.

Wherein Harry makes nice-ish with the creepy murder island! We get our third Renaissance tableau of crazy Morgan, this time with dbag on canine gun violence, though Molly's latest illegal mind-vasion was the catalyst.We get the most BA phone conversation this side of Liam Neeson, and set up one helluva party on Demonreach. The Gatekeepr acts kinda Strange, and everyone is suspicious of everyone, so of course Lara is in her element.The pieces are on the move, the cauldron is bubblin, and we got a full on war about to kick off on Demonreach...See how we get there and how we get Thomas back!

Wherein beating the crap out of a chubby middle aged dude in chains in a brazen abuse of power is not only justified, but also wildly hilarious! Because uh……reasons!!Meanwhile, Billy wants answers. He thinks he’s entitled to them. HE WANTS THE TRUTH! But Harry isn’t sure he can handle it, cuz they live in a world that has walls; and those walls have to be guarded by men with staves or strong furry people with claws! And in the Drez-verse, those walls are crumbling almost as fast as this reference…Our hero may running low on his leads, time, and chance of winning even if he had the first two, but have no fear there IS good news! Harry is finally starting to see Molly as a friend and trusted ally instead of just his troubled apprentice. She’s proven to be someone the whole team can count on!But most importantly, she’s shown enough for Harry to TRUST her, which is one of his character defining unresolved issues! Huge moment for Harry and Molly and probably the bright spot n the chunk for me!Great moment and I, for one, can’t wait to see where it goes from here!!In the meantime, settle in for what is probably a beautiful day where you and the regular king in the PNW.

Wherein Harry learns a little, but potentially loses a LOT. We learn one of the major players involved and also of Thomas's current disposition, and neither is good news.The power of "the tips of Molly's breasts" is used for good, and bpy oh boy do we have asides!

Wherein Harry adds the Merlin to the list of people he hates that he's risking his life for. We travel to the seat of White Council power in Edinborough and get a great look at how differently Harry and the Senior Council go about their respective business.Harry gets a casefile that Murph looks at for three seconds before finding a major clue, we meet Binder, shortly before he gets bound, and we realize Thomas is MIA.We're slowly making progress on the case, Harry and Morgan are having a shouting match in Dangersville, USA, and this pod is finally getting posted.

Wherein Harry learns about the ONE time Morgan was cool! We visit the most exclusive night club in Chicago where Harry actually tries, though ultimately fails, to keep his mouth shut. More importantly, though if you blink you might miss it, but for like 3/4 of a second there, Thomas actually gives himself credit!! Im calling this novel a win, no matter what happens from here!Harry gives the Cap'n a fun--albeit shortlived--nickname, we get a peak at Molly 's deep-seated trauma, and Lyssy reiterates that she likes spiders more than ants cuz shes somehow even weirder than we thought.Come for the Dresden, stay for the four minute asides about comedy sets and a soccer coach Josh really likes! Hey at least they arent about youth water polo anymore!

Wherein Harry finally gets some power over Morgan, and somehow it makes his life miserable. Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Butters comes through in the clutch, and even Josh got excited for the Murphy chapter, but its bleak early.  The White Council is on the brink, with two bands of rogues are licking their chops. We learn why The Sight is so dangerous: a mere glimpse of the foe floored our hero. Though a good old fashioned de-throatification to Kirby hammered home how outmatched we are! We, and dead villains galore, know safe money is on our dog, but round 1 was thorough: Harry got brain-mushed, one Alpha KIA and another knockin on the door; and the Skinwalker was just toying with them. And oh yeah....the least subtle character in fiction history has to keep a gigantic secret from a millenia-old organization who traffic in knowledge as much as magical power!Quoth the Bard, "Thus bad begins, and some serious shit remains behind!" (I bet that was how the rough draft went). Shut down your Sight, I promise no prime numbers are afoot, but chunk 1 of Turn Coat starts with a bang....RIGHT NOW!

Wherein Harry learns not all priests are as cool as Forthill. Someone is gunning (snipering?) for the Swords, and Harry has to enlist--and then save via murder-offer-- a retired knight to see this battle through.We get a glimpse of Michael limping around living his best life, while Harry changes the world one pep talk at a time, and a villainous priest kidnaps a girl, sends threatening messages, and pushes our knight to the edge.Short story The Warrior is on the docket so dig through that dumpster and change your pants....its starts NOW You dont have to, but if you want to buy us a coffee and get a shout out on the pod here are the links!....www.patreon.com/ThePodcastWasOnFire is best--u can use Spotify for the early release--but acast support is awesome too! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-podcast-was-on-fire-and-it-wasnt-my-fault.

Wherein Harry breaks a promise to the Grasshopper. Michael gets busted up, Harry sneaks away, Namshiel does some stealth Big Badding, and Mab does big mad-ing.We wrap it all up with a nice bo(ning and a hibachi). Joshie cries his eyes out of his head even on the recap, and Lyssy's got tinfoil enough for everyone!So come on in, the water's freezing ad the reef might slice you....but snuggle up to your teddy glock, cuz the climax of Small Favor--and Harry heyoooooooo--starts...RIGHT NOW!(a lil less polish this week as I had to redo the edit sat mornin due to tech issues....hope its aight) You dont have to, but if you want to buy us a coffee and get a shout out on the pod here are the links!....www.patreon.com/ThePodcastWasOnFire is best--u can use Spotify for the early release--but acast support is awesome too! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-podcast-was-on-fire-and-it-wasnt-my-fault.

Wherein we get to experience the high drama and medium cunning of HBC Dresden. Harry's a drama queen with Michael, we learn why this novel has been decidedly un-fuego-ful, and Nicky takes the bait!The story makes good on the whispers behind our hero's back, Harry pulls the trigger on a date with the captain, resists Rosanna's evil charms, and readies a cavalry charge on Creepy Island, USA.We stop juuuuuuuust before the REALLY meaty stuff, but the penultimate chunk of Small Favor does NOT disappoint!

Wherein Harry and The Hellhound do their darndest, but can't keep Ivy safe from those dang nickelheads. The scooby gang is whispering about Harry behind his back, a powerful and scary little girl is about to get tortured by Hell's Angels (the less mean kind, but still!), we have no idea where Marcone is, and somehow even less idea about what the hell the Fae courts have to do with any of this!Score ELEVEN Denarians for the good guys at The Showdown at the Shed, but at a devastating cost.

Wherein Harry uses Gard's magic to avoid getting smushed by Gruff-Kong, uses Michael's good name to avoid getting splattered by the scary little girl, and his good wits to avoid having to face Murph's determined glare.That's not to mention the two Denarians or riding in the bed of a truck through a blizzard....while soaking wet! Not exactly a smooth sailing kind out outing for our resident punching bag!!Joshie and Lyss are back in action after a week talking books and writing and various other things with the good people at NORWESCON, and we try to get back into the flow of podding with a DOOZY of a chunk.Don't fire till you see the green of Anduriel's eyes......SMALL FAVOR CHUNK 5 starts.....RIGHT NOW!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wherein Harry plays guardian angel! Mostly he's just riding Michael's coattails, but it is pretty cool to see the capital K knight of the capital C cross absolutely lay waste to the denizens of Faerie who would do his people harm.Lyssy refers to an old convention without its punctuation and no one understands her, Gard and Harry share an absolutely G.O.A.T-level comedic scene, and finally water polo gets interesting when josh almost fights a fan!Stroll into the kitchen and help us fold in the good stuff....Small Favor chunk four starts.... as soon as you realize that "everything that guy just said is bullshit"(so...right now!!)

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wherein Harry saves the bad guys from the worse guys! Denarian treachery surprises no one, Thomas is put to the test, and Gard finds her limit. We see the return of everyone's favorite Russian speaking agnostic knight (sorry, Lyss, you're #2!!) and learn about his dark past.Mac's incredible brew saves Harry's life before Murphy does the same in the face of a titanic foe! Alyssa's ink blots and nightmares are covered in ants, Josh complains about stuff, and we wait patiently for George Carlin to swim against the currents of time.Put some quarters in the jukebox and take a seat.... Cuz it's about to get funky. Small Favor Part 3 starts........ RIGHT NOW!!!

Wherein Harry witnesses and participates in a re-embowlment. Gross things happen down suburb way, but before that Harry has to dodge three level 2 gruffs--and goodness does he fuck a couple of em up!--as well as a second rate street thug. He gets what he needs and meets up with a rather loquatious Cujo Hendricks and a.....rather distressed Ms. Gard. A particularly insectoid Denarian sneaks past the velvet rope into the party, but not before we learn a fun fact about model glue! Lyssy describes something as "longer in temporal time" whilst STILL being commonly referred to as the smart one in the bunch. Joshie reminisces about past loves and present fuss-trations, but mostly.....we get excited about brothers fighting over car features.Roll down the bulletproof glass and also raise one!

Wherein Harry gets his ass handed to him by a nursery rhyme. Mab is scary, Marcone is kidnapped, and Harry and The Carpenters have the absolute cutest snowball fight in recorded literary history!Short pod this week: the chapters were short and Josh is falling apart--physically this time around, though, which is nice!Josh hints at his two favorite moments upcoming and just confuses Lyssy, she has to struggle through without Master's help this week, and I'm posting this from a pool deck in Orange County. Go good guys in the pool, go Lyssy in the pod, and go patreon listeners in fame, fortune, and smutty fanfic.....Small Favor part 1 starts.....

Wherein Ramirez carries the duel, but Harry wins the war. Our gentlemanly murder duel turns into less sporting murder-chaos. A couple of ways allow for more outside interference into matters than a no-dq match on Monday Night Raw.In Harry's corner we have Murphy, Thomas, Marcone, and an army of mercenaries, all staring across the ring, where Team Malvora/Cowl/Outsider is unleashing an army of super-ghouls (now with extra gross ichor pathing!!) to overwhelm the gathered powers.Lash makes a choice, Lara makes an enemy, Harry solidifies his pixie empire. He also gives a little trust nugget to Carlos, but spies on Toe-mas.A solid conclusion to a surprisingly solid entry! We close out White Night and get ready to head into the spicy depths of Small Favor.Come chew through this climactic chunk with us! The White Night finale starts.....RIGHT NOW!!

Wherein Harry uses actual words to talk to another human and it solves the conflict!! I can't believe that worked!All roads lead to Château Wraith and a confrontation with those White Court jerks this week, though we have a surprise guest! Warden Ramirez is back in the Windy City, and though Lara makes him blush, he proves he is ready to ball on this level. Murphy helps Harry figure it out, Harry helps Lash figure it out, and the board is filling with cops mundane and magical alike, three separate Vampire factions, and mountains of intrigu.e.....but somehow we just know Marcone is gonna come out on top.Chunk 6 of White Night starts NOW!!

Wherein Harry gets his " Prince Ali, fabulolus He...." big song intro at Marcone's brothel! Elaine plays damsel but also hero! Harry plays hero and trashcan burning dbag. Molly is annoying, Murphy is reasonable, and the Skavis turtleneck dick gets blasted!!Joshie figures out (has a theory to) why Marcone is supposed to be so scary--he also cries like 3 times this week, but I promise this isnt a regular feature, just a coincidence! Jump on this spicy big game podcast train! Chunk 5 of White Night starts when the Puppy Bowl hype reaches its apex! AKA.....RIGHT NOW!!***This one's over 3 hours. My editing software just like....got stuck? I waited a couple hours at 34% then had to just run it back manually.

Wherein Harry gets medieval on some ghoul asses! We finally learn some details about the traumatic nightmare that was Camp Kaboom, New Mexico. And while Thomas gets his good, pretty name cleared in this chunk, but our girl Lash gets impugned--nay, DEFAMED!--by your humble hosts. Elaine and Hary show off cool new magical gear, Harry cuts loose for the biggest spell he's cast since AT LEAST the Pyrofuego! that did in Bianca*!Josh cries all over the microphone, Lyssy reads between the lines, and Elaine is annoyingly likeable!We have 1 bajillion tea-kettles on, so there's a cuppa for everyone....unless I underestimated!? Slide on in, chunk 4 of White Night starts RIGHT NOW!!!*say, what ever happened to the Velvet Room? Guess we'll never know....see ya next week for chapters 25-31!!

Wherein Little Chicago gains a peephole! Harry chases GrAy Cloak around a parking structure in real life, and into Undertown through the ethereal (great word, Lyss!) world of Little Chicago. Our wizard gets asked politely, but FIRMLY, to leave the secret meeting we stumble upon by our old buddy Cowl and gets a pounding headache as a parting gift. Bob is gross about Molly, Josh learns another dumb thing girls gotta worry about, and we get a couple more references to New Mexico.We check in with future time-travelling Cowl, Ramirez (it only gets dumber if I explain it, so I don't) which is always a treat, Harry opens up to Molly about his past, and then goes off to accuse Beckitt of a bunch of murders without evidence! Josh and Lyssy, meanwhile share bad theories, but are fully ticketed and psched for Norwescon in 2 months where we cant wait to bump into Jimself (Jim, himself)! Come celebrate Medical Investiagtors Week with us, the corpse drawers arent as cold as they look, and I dont think that guy is gonna eat his slice of the pizza....or ever again.

Wherein Mouse takes the mantle of MAIN CHARACTER. Apparently some dude does magic or whatever, and the skull or warlock or whatever, whoever, who cares....THE PUPPY DOES MAGIC WOOFS!!! Mouse's secondary role, low-level partner does a cool threshold forzare blast, we get the return of Mouse's buddy's annoying adopted litter-mate--she can NOT be trusted--but Anna might have treats so Harry's on his own.Mister gets an onion ring, Lyssy says the oldest GenX old lady stuff ever, Joshie references a novel from the future.....very poorly, but gets cold window de-coldifying advice in the easter egg.White Night part two starts.......AS SOON AS SOMEONE ABSOLVES THOMAS I WONT STAND FOR THIS WHITE HERRING SHIT You dont have to, but if you want to buy us a coffee and get a shout out on the pod here are the links!....www.patreon.com/ThePodcastWasOnFire is best--u can use Spotify for the early release--but acast support is awesome too! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-podcast-was-on-fire-and-it-wasnt-my-fault.

Wherein Murphy's Saturn goes into orbit! We catch up with Butters, see some suicides that werent and start going about finding some witches to suffer living!Thomas looks like he could be the bad guy this time, but SURELY not?!?Technical issues so this is raw-er and late-er than usual. Stay warm kids.Bring your sexiest pinwheels and largest cooking pots! White Night part 1 started already!!!!!

Wherein Harry adds a warlock to the party! Our clever politician appeals to everyone in the room EXCEPT the dude who matters and nearly gets himself and Molly both flattened. But some quick--or rather veeeerrrrrry slow--thinking by the Gatekeeper allows Ebenezer and Michael, et al., to come through a way and interrupt proceedings. Molly gets the Doom of Damocles, Morgan and Harry get pretty-and-absolutely-not-at-all-dripping-with-deeper-meaning presents from the Summer Lady, Michael gets a mic-drop moment, Charity gives a hug, and Lasciel's good name is unfairly impugned (MUST BE SUNDAY!?).We escaped the bad guys last week, so all that's left is to survive our encounter with the good guys! Try to avoid the stains on the concrete--the wardens hosted one helluva party in here last week!--and settle in for the conclusion of Proven Guilty........RIGHT NOW!!

Wherein Harry learns things aren't quite what they seem when you enlist faerie help. We rescue the damsel, de-dangly an ogre, out-scripture the church mom, and decide to be accountable for our actions.Its an incredibly dense character development chunk that doubles as the action-scene climax of the A-plot, somehow--Jim, we are not worthy! The ice=prison intrigue asks the most questions, but the family reunion evokes the most tear. Don't worry about treading on holy ground, come in and celebrate with us, just this once!

Wherein 10,000 pod downloads later, we are just getting started! Harry learns Charity Carpenter's deepest, darkest secret. Her closet isn't the only place for skeletons, as Queen Mab's front yard is littered in them too, and her housekeepers chose brimstone instead of pine fresh which certainly adds some potential complications to the upcoming confrontation at Arctis Tor! We get another chance to hang out with the chillest members of the Summer Court, but this is Charity's chunk and maybe even her novel. Harry and her patch up their relationship, Little Chicago is a success, and Thomas shows yet again that he is probably the only character in the series who understands how to interact with people--even outside of the whole incubus skillset!Harry and crew solve the puzzle and set the stage for the big throwdown in one of the deepest parts of Faerie. Everybody cross your fingers that Mab is out, but even then its Team Murphy v powerful baddies at the source of their power on home turf. Lyssy celebrates another theory well proven, Josh is workshopping throuple ship names for Harry and the Carpenters (DresCarp? Charrychael?). Its moving day for Proven Guilty, so conveniently leave your super power on for a an extra couple seconds, light some candles--preferably purchased at Aunt B's Homemade Creations like mine was!--and settle in, cuz Proven Guilty part 6 starts......RIGHT NOW!!

Wherein Mouse is dead! Nope, Mouse is alive!!! WHEW! Darby's a dick, Thomas is a hero, Molly gets gotten, Harry gets confused, and Forthill gets laid back.Josh lords over his echo-ey fiefdom and Lyssy cuts right to some great sword based Easter eggs.Come swing around lamp posts with me....

Wherein Billy is such a good dude he doesnt make faux-Georgia brush her green-ass teeth. Harry and Murphy save the day with some cool action scene spell-casting and fire-leaping awesomeness, Big Willy B gets the girl of his dreams, Harry would be the worst EMT ever, and Josh is so old even napping is hard.I've seen some of these underworld bride deals and, and they never end well. Well, maybe once.

[HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!]Wherein Harry tries to avoid paying the Troll Toll, but might still have saved a girl's soul! He may not be the Champion of the Sun, but Harry's words of wisdom, coupled with the coolest mood ring this side of the Atlantic bring a young girl back from the brink while his quick thinking and Murphy's bravery shut down the troll blocking their path.For a first time writer its an incredible piece of art, and the seeds he plants are awesome to look back on now I've enjoyed much of the harvest feast.We talk subways, swamps, and libraries, Josh's brain is the exact opposite of a steel trap, and finally, Lyss is grossed out by something more than her brother! (DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YESS!!!). Come wait by the dumpster for Nick with us as we prepare to walk across the bridge that introduced the world to Harry Dresden, wizard.

Wherein Harry forces a Faerie Queen to make things right, Murph speaks the truth and is probably right, Agent Green ignores rights, and Charity throws a hard right! There's Sidhe machinations, legal hulaboo, aggressive journalism, good lawyering, bad copping, false conflicting, and Bob is as Bob as we've seen him in some time. What's not to love!? And that says nothing about the tense cliffhanger we leave Alyssa on for two whole weeks!! Muahahahah!The minibar is packed, the view is great, and the hotel room of Proven Guilty: Part 4 is all ready to go!
