Cowboy Joe

*Cowboy Joe* was one of the first "commercials" conceived for *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. Usually only a page or two long, it featured a man who claimed to be a "real-life" cowboy, not one o' them Hollywood types. He appeared to sell various products "released" by the IABDRH company, usually relevant to his current situation. The episode titles were the products he was selling.

*(There is no IABDRH company and these products are not real.)*

As the episodes unfolded, we learned that Joe was on the run from the law. While he presented himself as goofy, it turns out that he was a serial killer, and was eventually executed.

This commercial was discontinued due to the death of the character, though due to his popularity, he had been worked back in a couple of times. Since Joe's death, he has appeared as a ghost and in a "lost" episode that takes place during the original run. Additionally, the *Pirate Jack* and *Astronaut Jake* commercials were inspired by this one.

It is unlikely that the *Cowboy Joe* commercials take place in *The Topnotch Tangler* dimension, as even though Joe is pursued and arrested by Lt. Carson of the Tipp Town Police Post, he is put to death. More likely, this Tipp Town and Lt. Carson are in another dimension.

*Cowboy Joe* was part of the first six live Radio Hour shows, which were collected into a single installment of the regular podcast called "The Saga of Cowboy Joe." This was before commercials were released as 'bonus' episodes.

In 2020, Joe returned in a *Packer & Ratcliff* episode called "The Origin of Cowboy Joe," which was a prequel to the story told in the commercials. He also appeared in *Halftime Report* "Real-Life Halftime Report."

## **Characters**

Cowboy Joe was played by Keith Jackson. He appeared in all the *Cowboy Joe* segments.

### **Other Characters**

* Joe Morales played Lt. Carson in episode 2 "Boots" and episode 5 "Handcuffs."
* Dallas Ray played the judge in episode 4 "Public Defender."
* Katelyn Hamilton played the court stenographer in episode 4 "Public Defender."
* Amanda Iman played the public defender in episode 4 "Public Defender."
* Katie Boissoneault played the execution doctor in episode 6 "Electric Chair."
* Packer & Ratcliff appeared in episode 7 "Ghost Trap."

Fran

**First Appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.06 "Cult of B.O.B."

**Number of Appearances:** 3

**Actor:** Katie Boissoneault

## **Story**

Fran tasks Jerry, her right-hand in the sect, to set up a place to perform a mysterious ceremony intended to restore the soul of the man they follow, Bertram Oswalt Babbit, in the body of Josh Wallace. Jerry screws up and doesn't realize the place is being used as an active U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana. He also is there when their sacrificial kidnap victim escapes. So Fran has her followers force Jerry in front of her cauldron, then runs him through with a sword. She then completes the spell.

Or does she? There is a lot of vagueness to the spell, and no one, including Fran, is sure if it works.

The cult tries to flee with Fran driving the bus they came on. But she and the others are captured and imprisoned on the ranch ("Cult of B.O.B.")

Fran's cell leaked every time it rained, and she was pleased to be moved to the one next to Not-Josh. Josh insisted he wasn't Bertram, but Fran didn't really believe him ("Cave of Wonders").

Kai Akane gave Fran a key and a gun, which she used to escape her cell during the attack on the ranch by Monbo's monster army. She waited to make this move until she could get the rest of the keys, which she took from Arnold Armstrong before locking him up, and she freed the rest of her cult. They run into Abby Reynolds as they flee, who orders the cult to help. Fran tells Abby no, and tries to lead them away. Fran and her followers are slaughtered by Gigaxx and other monsters before they can escape ("With Great Power...").
First Show

Written by Jerome Wetzel

Directed by Nick Arganbright

Next episode: "The Aide"

## **The Story**

It's Monday morning, 5:45AM, at WUBD, a brand-new broadcast and streaming radio station in Columbus, Ohio. It is about the launch with its first program, the flagship morning show, *Morning Show.* Producer Shelly Meyers is anxiously awaiting the hosts when one of them, Pat Shock, arrives for work. Shelly is mad he waited until so close to show time, but he assures her that they have prepared as much as they possibly can and she can calm down. The other co-host, Gus Goodall, comes in and talks about 'the game' with Pat as Shelly retreats into her booth.

Gus and Pat argue over the definition of a blowout. The guys are interrupted when Shelly asks them if they've read their email. The station has changed its tagline yet again at the last minute. Pat balks at recording yet another version, but relents.

Shelly breaks in again and tells them she has a new headline for the rundown. Gus complains that the rundown is already set, but Shelly tells them it's breaking news. Gus says they are a comedy show, not a news show, and Shelly drops the bomb that she wants them to be primarily news. Gus is furious, more so when Pat reveals he already knew, having met secretly with Shelly. It is little comfort to Gus that Pat refuses to lie to his co-host now, and Pat tries to shrug it off as a little change, offering a hybrid compromise. Gus isn't buying it and accuses Pat of having a think for Shelly.

Reading the new headline, Pat becomes frustrated, too. He thinks the story is a joke, but Shelly assures him it's not. It's a big, exclusive scoop. Shelly has a connection in town hall and will put him on-air after the first commercial. Pat complains he didn't have time to prepare. Shelly tries to convince them it's an exciting opportunity. She admits she knew he would be mad, but she couldn't risk him refusing to go along with this. She appeals to Pat's ego and the kind of attention breaking this will get him. Pat starts to consider running Shelly's news, to Gus' chagrin.

The show goes on the air. Pat hesitates after the introduction, and Gus tries to go to his prepared comedy bit. Pat interrupts and breaks the news about a financial scandal involving Mayor Regina Hayes. The show fades out.

## **Trivia**

* There was no intro to this episode. The audience met the characters as the story unfolded.
* Gus' last name was Goodale in the script. It was changed to Goodall when performed Nathan Haley said it wrong during the first performance.
Gahroo

A Gahroo is a demon monster in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One,* a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.*

The only member of the species that has been described so far is Grezit the Green. It has not been confirmed if all Gahroos look like Grezit or not. Grezit has a forked tail, green skin, multiple small chests, five claws and hands, six ears, sharp fangs, black ooze in place of blood ("Get Out"), and more than one belly button ("Pit of Despair"). They have a little bit of hair on top of their head. Typically, they sleep very little. They are known to be vile and violent, wreaking havoc ("Wanda's Wand"). They also usually take things literally, and do not use the same ways of measuring time as humans do ("Three's Company"). They can have dreams ("The Search").

'Monster' is considered a derogatory term by Gahroos and they do not like to be called that.

Gahroos are the only known species that can survive a beheading, and through magical means, reattach a head from the separated body. If the body is not reattached, the head can grow a new body. This takes a couple of years for a full-grown adult to do, and while the regrowing happens, Gahroos sleep quite a lot, up to fourteen hours per day ("Children Will Not Listen"). They can also go for long periods of time without eating, as Trexel the Terrible mentions having not eaten in a week ("Blumpkin & Felchy").

Gahroos believe there are many gods. They know of the multiple dimensions. They also have complete gender equality ("Daniel & Grezit's Crazy Christmas"). It is unknown if all Gahroos make specific, graphic threats of their opponents, but at least Grezit and his mate, Trexel, do.
Hot Dog

"Hot Dog" is the seventh episode of *The Topnotch Tangler* (season one) and the seventh episode of the series. It was performed on October 8th, 2016 as the closing segment of Show XVI. It was released as podcast episode 73.

* Nathan is loosely based on *Star Trek*'s Khan Noonien Singh.
* The names of Officer Ryan this month and Officer Esposito next month are a tribute to the show *Castle*.
Granny Gonzo Mounts Up

"Granny Gonzo Mounts Up" is the first post-series special of *Pornstar Detectives.* It is set during the 2019 miniseries and is the twenty-first installment of the series overall. It was performed May 11, 2019 as the seventh short segment of Show XLVII. It was released as podcast episode 167.

Costello

Costello is a character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He is man who was locked up in a mental institution. He was in his 50s, with a long, unkempt beard and uncut greasy hair.

**Appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.05 "Jant Braidley"

**Actor:** Keith Jackson

## **Story**

Costello escaped from a mental institution and made his way near to Kalispell, Montana. There, he posed as a buyer of livestock, which he did just to see the facilities, allowing him to come back later and steal said livestock. He slaughtered the animals, intending to use their deaths to help power an amulet that would summon Sarulic the Nighteater.

Before Costello could complete his spell, Daniel Kravitz and team found him in a barn where he was holed among cows. They angered him with taunts, then captured him and took the amulet, sending him back to the institution he escaped from.

While it would be easy to write Costello off as a crackpot, given where he was locked up and that he spoke to cows as if they were having a two-way conversation, his spells and amulet were real, so he wasn't totally crazy. It is unknown just how sane he might be.
Fellow the Money

"Fellow the Money" is the second episode of the second season of *Privates,* a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. It was the opening segment of Show LXII. It was performed on August 8th, 2020. It has not yet been released on the podcast.

**Written by** Jerome Wetzel

**Directed by** Samantha Stark

**Previous episode**: "Ex Mas"

**Next episode**: "Frank in the Bank, Jake in the Bed"

## **The Story**

It's December 26th, and Detective Jake Cotton begins investigating the missing fortune of Dame Cordelia Bench. He begins at the home of Jonathan Cobalt Featherweight, Cordelia's money manager. Jonathan meets Jake with hostility, especially when Jake can't believe Jonathan doesn't know where the money want. Jake wants to see the books, but Jonathan is not inclined to let him, despite Cordelia wanting Jonathan to help Jake.

Just when the two are at an impasse, Frank Berry shows up, only slighted miffed Jake started work without him. Jonathan is delighted to see Frank, and invites him into his office, offering a drink. Reluctantly, at Frank's request, Jonathan allows Jake to accompany them. While Jonathan is in the kitchen, Frank says they're wasting their time here, Jonathan has nothing to do with the missing funds. Frank asks Jake to follow his lead.

Jonathan returns with the drinks and spills one on Jake. Frank asks if they can take a look at the books, and Jonathan allows it. Jake notices missing money, and Jonathan says he has noticed, too, but doesn't know where it's gone. Jake copies some of the information down, making sure not to implicate Cordelia in his notes.

Monologuing, Jake admits Frank came in handy, and might continue to do so for this particular case.

Swinging back by his apartment for a clean shirt before he heads to the bank, Jake finds Judy Bench waiting. She says a little birdie told her he might be coming home this morning, and she drops her coat, showing some attention-getting lingerie. Jake is suspicious, thinking Frank may have sent her to keep Jake out of the way. She denies Frank is the one that told her, then asks if Jake is going to grill her or drill her? When she denies Jake's request to do both, he can't help but choose the latter.

## **Guest Starring**

* Erik Bobbitt as Jonathan Cobalt Featherweight

## **Trivia**

* The role of Jonathan was written for Erik Bobbitt after participated in a multi-theatre audition. Erik had also worked with Jerome and much of the cast on a *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* "Once More With Feeling" performance.

"And the Case of the Missing Youth" is the second episode of *Pornstar Detectives* Season One and the second installment of the series overall. It was performed September 12, 2015 as the second segment of Show III at Packrat Comics in Hilliard, Ohio. It was released as podcast episode 9.

Written and directed by Jerome Wetzel

Next episode: "And the Case of the Missing Hans"

## **Guest Starring**

* Katelyn Hamilton as Granny Gonzo
* Katie Boissoneault as Sage
Awshucks, Awshucks

"Awshucks, Awshucks" is the second episode of *Universe Journey* Season One and second episode of the series overall. It was performed on August 8th, 2015 as the second segment of Radio Hour Show II. It was released as podcast episode #7. It was the first episode to star Amanda Iman as Dr. Awshucks.

Written and directed by Jerome Wetzel

Previous episode: "God Man"

Next episode: "The Conundrum With C'mons"

## **The Story**

The crew is losing faith in Kahkay, if they ever had any, as the *Thrifty* returns, damaged and missing an XO, to Earth. The bad news piles up when Admiral Jamieson tells Kahkay and M- that their chief medical officer was so upset at being left behind that she quit. Jamieson runs through the list of available replacements, but it turns out that Kahkay has slept with all of them. Except one.

Back on the *Thrifty*, Tokaladie and Who sit awkwardly as a very bad smell drifts out of the bathroom where Foley is holed up.

M- and Kahkay travel to West Virginia and find Doctor Awshucks drunk on peach schnapps. Taking an early retirement to avoid spaceflight, which she is afraid of almost as much as beamers, Awshucks is running out of money and booze. Kahkay promises her unlimited supplies of the latter if she'll accept the job as the *Thrifty*'s chief medical officer. She reluctantly agrees.

## **Trivia**

* Seamus Talty was not able to attend the second show, hence why his character, Foley, spends the segment in the bathroom. This necessitated a 'fill-in' episode, as Foley is instrumental in the next installment, "The Conundrum With C'mons," intended to be the second. As originally written, Awshucks would have already been on board when the episode started without the fanfare.

* Cast member Addie Peelle filled in for Seamus as foley artist for this show.
* Awshucks is afraid of beamers, a trait she shares with *Star Trek* doctor Bones McCoy.
* The doctors that Kahkay was slept with are almost all references to TV and film doctors: Quinn (*Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman)*, House (*House, M.D.*), Crusher (from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*), Grey and Yang (from *Grey's Anatomy*), and Tam (from *Firefly*). Danvers was supposed to be a reference to Dr. Carol Marcus (*Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan*), whom Jerome in the moment mixed up with another Carol, Carol Danvers (*Captain Marvel*). Which was meta-referenced in the re-record of the episode.
* Doctor Who is also among the list of doctors, a throw-away gag for the science fiction franchise of the same name. However, since we already had a character named Who, we made it part of her backstory, and eventually delve deeper into it much later in the series.
* Nick Arganbright improved a line about how Kahkay slept with Dr. House while Wilson was away. The joke was edited out of the podcast, afraid it went too far breaking the fourth wall.
Hilga

Hilga is a character in *Travels With T.I.M.,* a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. She is the empress of the Garnold Conglomerate.

**First appearance:** *Travels With T.I.M.* #1.05 "Bride of Shizreen"

**Number of appearances*:*** 1

**Actor:** Megan Overholt

## **The Garnold Conglomerate**

Hilga was the Empress of the the Garnold Conglomerate around 2815ish. She was married to Shizreen, and stayed on the homeworld with her mother and family while her husband handled space defense, which meant he did not come home often and missed Monday dinners for at least six years, which did not make Hilga's mother happy.

Most of Shizreen's space-faring activites went unnoticed for years by Empress **Hilga**, the real ruler by blood, whom had only heard small rumors. Once she found out about the extent of his activities, she cut Shizreen's space defense budget and made him stay home more often, where she could keep an eye on him. Litcone Firest remarked that Hilga looked like she might be Shizreen's mother, and Hilga is likely older than her husband.
Gwen and Rhys

Gwen and Rhys are characters in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

**Actor:** Kristin Green (Gwen) and Keith Jackson (Rhys)

**Appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* "They're Back!"

**Status:** Unknown, presumably still living in Cardiff

Gwen and Rhys attempt to mug Abby Reynolds with knives for her purse in an alley in Cardiff, Wales. Abby threatens them and Rhys thinks something doesn't feel right, and begins to get nervous. Gwen says Abby does not seem the type to have a gun, even though she's American, and doesn't seem phased in the least. However, a bit of magic from Rufus Reginald Rochester sends them both running.

While only appearing in a single scene in a single episode, a bit is known about the pair. Rhys' mom died when he was young, and he thought of her as a no-good addict. They also have accents that are clearly not Welsh, so are not from the area. It is unknown what they were doing in Cardiff, how long they'd been there, or if they stayed.
B.J. McKibben

B.J. McKibben is a recurring character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He is one of fifteen trainees who lived in dorms and took classes at the U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana in 2019.

He has been connected to Stephanie Garcia when they were yelled at by Abby Reynolds for an unknown reason. Daniel calls him 'McKibbs' ("Cave of Wonders"). B.J. was on guard duty with Stephanie when Monbo attacked the ranch ("A Chosen One Walks Into a Bar"). He was quickly and easily killed by O'Kjo ("With Great Power...").

**First appearance:** none voiced

**Number of appearances:** 3 (mentioned as being in-scene, though not heard)

**Actor:** none

## **Trivia**

* Nick Arganbright wrote B.J. McKibben into multiple scripts, but all of his lines were cut and he was never cast.

Written by Jerome Wetzel

Directed by Jerome Wetzel

Next Episode "Oh, Brother"

## **The Story**

A family and two strangers hide in a house from zombies.

## **Guest Stars**

* Keith Jackson as Jack Shepard
* Katelyn Hamilton as Beth Shepard
* Addie Peelle as Sammy Shepard
* Seamus Talty as Jeff

## **Trivia**

* Originally, the plan was to kill off all the characters in the segment of every episode. Luckily, Coco and Courtney weren't seen dead, so they could be brought back to continue the series.
Bro Code

"Bro Code" is a non-canon episode of *Morning Show*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*, done early in season one of the series. It was first performed on November 10, 2018 as the opening act of Show XLI. It was released as podcast episode 204.

Written by no one (all improv-ed)

Previous episode: "Owning Up"

Next episode: "Emergency Powers"

## **Conceit and Performance**

*The Good, The Bad, & The Geeky* was a podcast that frequently served as an opened for *Radio Hour* for several years. Run by Nick Arganbright, it heavily featured Nathan Haley and Jerome Wetzel, as well. Nathan developed the Bro Code game for GBG.

It was decided on a whim to have Keith Jackson join Nathan on stage and improv their way through a round of the game as Pat Shock and Gus Goodall. Jerome also appeared as "chunky guy" pulled 'from the audience' to play, and Nick was named as an intern, Nick Sanchez.

The game at first ended in a tie after two rounds, with Pat and Nick paired against Gus and Jerome. Each player took turns giving the other clues. The point was to say a word that fit the clues, but substitute the 'o' sound in the word with 'bro.' So Oklahoma would be said Bro-klahoma. Jerome and Gus won the Bro-nus round.

"Bro Code" was actually performed *before* the third episode, "Owning Up," though at the same monthly show. However, since the first three episodes of *Morning Show* were a three-part story, "Bro Code" was released just after "Owning Up" and appears after it in the online episode list, as well.

There was some thought that this episode might be considered canon and part of the first *Morning Show* show-within-a-show. However, there were many departures from the story, such as people being called by their real names instead of character names, references to the character of Tokaladie from another segment, and a list of music titles, including an in-joke about the song "It's All Been Done" by the Barenaked Ladies. Also, it wasn't done in such a way that made sense for a radio show, especially when speaking to the audience, so Jerome decided this could not count as canon.

## **Trivia**

Keith Jackson suggests music for each live show, and so the songs he named in "Bro Code" are the ones he had already associated with this live performance.
Emotional Support

"Chances" is the thirteenth episode of *Universe Journey* (season six) and the eightieth episode of the series. It was performed on April 10th, 2021 as the final segment of Show LXX. It was released as podcast episode 354.

Written by Jerome Wetzel

Directed by Shane Stefanchik

Previous episode: "The Wormhole: Theories"

Next episode: "The Wormhole: More Questions"

## **The Story**

Capt. Grace Thomas arrives at Eastwood, while Anders continues to try to before M- and Luna gets some surprising news.

## **Trivia**

* Cat is the third actress to play Grace. She was offered the role after the first was unavailable, but was unable to take the part at that time.
Fool Me Twice

"Fool Me Twice" is the third episode of the third season of *Privates,* a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour,* and the sixteenth episode of the series overall. It was the third segment of Show XCVI. It was performed on June 10th, 2023. It has not yet been released on the podcast.

Cyril Davies

Cyril Davies was a human and leader of the U.L.P. in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.* His office was at Oxford University, and so he often made the U.L.P. come to him there instead of their main headquarters at Cambridge.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #2.01 "Gather 'Round the Fire"

**Last appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.03 "Recall Me, Maybe"

**Total appearances:** 4

**Status:** Dead, neck snapped by Ragina ("Pit of Despair")

**Actor:** Keith Jackson

## **Story**

In early 2010, Cyril traveled to Kiev Pechersk Lavra to evaluate possible candidates for the U.L.P. He was not pleased with their offerings, until he met Novir, whom Calleth Penrose predicted an important future for ("Recall Me, Maybe").

Cyril was elected head of the U.L.P. sometime before 2010, and he elevated two other members, Rupert Pryce and Bertram Oswalt Babbit, above the rest of the group, who were supposed to all be equal. He also refused the role of mentor in 2013, even though Rufus Reginald Rochester named him the third most eligible for the job ("Gather 'Round the Fire"). These were only some of Cyril's misdeeds, which included financial crimes, murdering members who didn't go along with him, and covering up those deaths ("Into the Darkness").

When Cyril sensed Rufus might stand in the way of his goals, Cyril helped elect Rufus as mentor and get him out of the way. Rufus didn't die, but he did turn Daniel against the group, or at least that was how Cyril saw it. He sent Alexis Augustus Armentrout in the hopes of straightening Daniel out, but that also failed when Alexis turned against them.

Cyril was prepared for an attack from the Chosen One and his friends. He gathered all his remaining members around his office at Oxford, and used manipulation and spells to separate and confuse the group. He even presented a resurrected Josh Wallace as a final effort, showing the extent of his preparation ("Into the Darkness").

Unfortunately for Cyril, there were two things he hadn't counted on: Daniel having ancient, mythical Chosen One powers, and Ragina coming along and casting a spell during the attack. Cyril barely managed to escape the building before it came down, only to have his neck snapped by Ragina ("Pit of Despair").
Colin Cat

Colin Cat is the main character in his own cartoon series, a spin-off of *Maisy Muskrat*, an animated series that was made in the world of *Life With a Voice Actor*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

**Actor:** Logan Cooper (played by Seamus Talty)

**Appearance:** #1.02 "Maisy Meets Her Maker"

## **Story**

Colin Cat first appeared in *Maisy Muskrat* Season 3, Episode 13, "Maisy Meets Her Maker," which ended up being the series finale. The episode revolved around learning what words started with D. Maisy and friends heard a sound in the bushes, and Colin Cat emerged. Colin admits cat starts with C, but he's a Devon Rex cat. The other animals immediately like him. Colin tells them he just ate dinner, but hasn't had a delicious, delectable desert. When they offer to help him find desert, he tells them not to go to any trouble and eats Maisy's head.

Delia Duck, Fred Frog, and Todd Turtle are very disturbed by the death of their friend. However, Todd realizes that friends don't eat friends, and so he and the others quickly become friends with Colin, who is delighted to have so many new pals.

Colin Cat was then granted his own spin-off show, still running at the time *Life With a Voice Actor* starts. It is unknown what the format of that show is, other than it is animated and very successful.
E'Kjo

E'Kjo was a character on *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. His brother was killed by Daniel Kravitz and he wanted revenge.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.02 "Mind If I Smoke?"

**Number of appearances:** 2

**Actor:** Nick Arganbright

## **Story**

E'Kjo is working with Monbo in The Subworlds when she seeks revenge on Daniel Kravitz for the killing of her children. E'Kjo is only too happy to sign up because Daniel killed his brother, I'Kjo, too ("Attack on the Homestead"). E'Kjo has been unable to locate Daniel, but Monbo says she will do it herself ("Mind If I Smoke?").

E'Kjo accompanies Marta to meet Daniel Kravitz so he can kill him and other members of Daniel's team. Their gambit is a ploy to remove some of the U.L.P.'s best fighters before Monbo attacks. E'Kjo hides under a sheet and pops out as a surprise trap. While Daniel is not there, E'Kjo was promised he could kill Rufus Reginald Rochester, as well, and E'Kjo plans to fulfill that promise. Except Grezit the Green makes E'Kjo angry, so the monster leaps at Grezit first instead. They fight, and Grezit rips E'Kjo in half ("Maneuvers").

## **Trivia**

* E'Kjo's first appearance was originally written to be the return of I'Kjo, the only one of the three main monsters fro "Attack on the Homestead" that wasn't a guest character, as this was a small part and he didn't want to bring back a guest actor for it. However, Jerome was reminded that I'Kjo was dead, and so adjusted the script to include I'Kjo's brother - played by the same actor with essentially the same voice.

## **The Story**

Two months later, it's Halloween and the show is just beginning. Pat Shock and Gus Goodall rib one another for mistakes made on air. Pat then talks about Trick-or-Treat being scheduled for 4PM locally, which Gus asserts is too early, but Pat hopes Columbus will stay safe.

Meanwhile, just outside the building, Shelly Meyers is meeting with her informatant, Kelly. He confirms that the information he's giving Shelly is true. He reminds her that people are still scared and crazy and asks how she's going to handle this? Shelly says she has to confirm it on air. Kelly says she doesn't have to, no one else has it, and the government would probably rather she not reveal the news. Shelly says that's all the more reason to do so. She asks him for a few other things, and he says no problem, he'll see her at the same time next week. He tells her to be careful and that he'll be listening.

Back on the air, Gus concludes his Top Ten Tips for How to Be a Top Trick-or-Treater, which Pat calls not helpful at all. Pat takes the show to break and asks Shelly where she was. She says just getting some air, but she does have some breaking news for them.

Gus and Pat are shocked when she sends them the headline and asks if it's true. Shelly is 100% confident that it is. Gus is concerned saying it on-air today will be seen as a prank, so Pat says he'll deliver it himself. Pat does question if this is responsible reporting and asks why no one else has it. Gus laughs at the idea that a local morning show could out-scoop the *New York Times* and *Washington Post*, but Shelly says it's legit. Gus doesn't think they should do it, nor does Pat, but Pat says it's Shelly's call. Shelly insists that people have a right to know.

On air, Gus tries to turn the topic to a survey about favorite candy. Pat interrupts and breaks Shelly's news. He says the virus has now officially spread into Mexico and four cities there are fighting the infection. He implores listeners to send thoughts, blood, water, and whatever they can spare. The phone lines begin ringing, but Pat says they won't be taking calls today, then begins breaking down specifics as the show fades out. In the booth, Shelly says to herself "Good job, Pat."

## **Trivia**

* In two previous episodes, Pat refers to the station as WBD, leaving out the U, and in one episode, Gus and the narrator use the character's original last name, Goodale. The bit at the beginning of this episode was to retcon these mistakes.
IABD Classic 1

*It's All Been Done Radio Hour* performed the first of a series of Classic re-run at MadLab on November 10th, 2019 around 10:30PM. It was a sixty minute show, a little shorter than the normal monthly length. Creator Jerome Wetzel directed and did the sound effects. The complete show is available exclusively to Patreon donors.

The goal of the first Classic show was to showcase some of the best episodes from the earliest days of the show. As such, episodes were chosen from among only the 2015 performances at Packrat Comics.

As always, tweaks were made to the segments and several parts had substitute performers. Most notably, both Lt. Carson in *The Topnotch Tangler* and Chief Foley in *Universe Journey* were changed from men to women.

Like the early shows, two performers read an intro. Karen Perta and Kristin Green were chosen to do this because they were not in the Packrat shows.

## **Segments**

* *Universe Journey* "The Conundrum With C'mons" (rerun from Show III)
* Commercial *Cowboy Joe* "Public Defender" (rerun from Show IV)
* *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* "Childish Thing" (rerun from Show IV)
* Commercial *Packer & Ratcliff* "Ratcliff Is Solicited" (rerun from Show V)
* *The Topnotch Tangler* "Signs of the Sexist" (rerun from Show V)

## **Suggested Music**

Cast member Keith Jackson suggests songs that would go well with these episodes. The music was not used in the show, nor were any rights obtained.

Addie Peelle was a troupe member of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* from its inception in July 2015 through the second anniversary in July 2017, and is the sister of former troupe member Amanda Iman. She was the youngest troupe member, appearing throughout her sophomore and junior years of high school, which is why she had limited availability during her tenure. Twice, she filled in as Foley artist for the show. When the role of associate player was created in April 2016, Addie was listed as that status, as her high school commitments kept her appearances to part-time.

Next episode: "Gather 'Round the Fire"

## **Story**

Daniel rants over Abby in a hospital bed, bouncing back and forth between grief and anger. He even tries praying. He promises Abby he will kill the villains who did this to her. As soon as Daniel leaves, Abby wakes up.

Ragina and Wanda have been waiting in Daniel's training center for hours, Ragina planning to distract Daniel with sex and skin-tight leather. Wanda wants to know why the Ultimate Evil won't just send more help.

Before Ragina can respond, Rufus, Daniel, and Grezit arrive,

knowing this would be where Ragina is. Rufus hopes Ragina has been bewitched by Wanda, but Ragina says she is not. Ragina apologizes for Fizzybibbit killing Abby and tells them she killed Fizzybibbit in return. Daniel replies that Abby isn't dead. Rufus and Ragina then argue over the U.L.P. Ragina makes one more plea that Daniel join her, and Daniel calls her his ex and sides with Rufus over Ragina. Rufus tells Ragina that her parents would be disappointed in her.

Daniel charges Ragina, who has a long, multi-bladed weapon. Wanda blocks Rufus and Grezit from joining the fight. Rufus has prepared countermeasures for Wanda, but she has

planned for that. Wanda and Rufus engage in a battle of magic. Ragina taunts Daniel about how easily he fell for her, and Daniel says it was only about sex between them. Ragina tells Daniel that's because he's in love with Abby, which Daniel denies. Rufus begs Daniel to merely disarm Ragina, not kill her.

Wanda finishes a spell and takes deadly aim at Grezit. Daniel dives and takes the blast, saving Grezit. Ragina uses the distraction to knock Daniel out. Grezit lunges at Ragina. Wanda moves to attack Rufus, but Josh Wallace bursts in and burns Wanda does to grey ashes. Ragina knocks out Grezit. Josh

threatens Ragina and melts her weapon, but Ragina is personally impervious to Josh's magic and knocks him out.

Rufus grabs a broadsword and raises it against Ragina's neck, ending the fight. Rufus pleads with her to give up. Rufus admits he was blinded by his love for her, and she laughs. Ragina claims she was never important to him, and he denies it. Rufus says he just wants to protect her. Daniel wakes up and tells Rufus to kill her. Rufus hesitates. Ragina shoves him and runs away.

Back at the hospital, Daniel tells Abby what happened and urges her not to be too hard on Josh. Daniel also says Rufus walked away without saying anything, but assumes he'll be back soon. Daniel then tells Abby he loves her and she kisses him.

## **Trivia**

Beth Muir

Beth Muir spent most of her childhood in Phoenix, Arizona, before moving to Ohio around age 19. Through her adolescence and early twenties, she had a keen interest in theater and musicals and appeared in numerous community productions in Arizona and Ohio. After her son was born in 1999, however, she took an indefinite hiatus from performing to focus on motherhood.

In 2022, Beth became active again in the central Ohio arts community. She has appeared in Imagine's production of' Assassins and the Gallery Players' Something Rotten! While performing a guest role on *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*, Beth was impressed by the talent and camaraderie of the group and continued to submit auditions, racking up four more guest appearances over the next six months before becoming a troupe member in July 2023.

Beth considers herself somewhat of a jack of all trades, with strong emphasis on the 'master of none' part. She plays the piano, guitar, ukulele, and flute… a little. She loves languages and can speak Spanish, Japanese, and Scottish Gaelic …a little. She is a software developer by day, and is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science at The Ohio State University. She also enjoys spending time with her family and playing video games.

The commercial follows the titular character, who drops out of school and moves across the country to follow her boyfriend, Blake. To pay for a return to education, she decides to run Blake's aunt's... quaint... business. But things keep going wrong, many of them because of Blake. Holly never seems to blame him, and maintains a positive outlook, no matter how bad things get.
