Canister X – A.P. Fuchs

The Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time Podcast: The Complete Second Season

Last weekend we wrapped up the Second Season of THE REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast! Twenty-one episodes, twenty-one full-length short stories of superheroes, monsters, and horror.

The format was simple: Brief intro, straight dive into Story Time, then the Story Behind the Story, and, as usual, a post-credits scene. Done and done, the focus being all about the story. As for the finale, you not only got a story, but the story behind the story for that particular short story plus a story behind the story for the second season of the podcast itself! And, oh, did I mention a Spoken Word performance post-credits? Yeah, that’s there, too.

Season Three is coming with new stories and a new format, but that will arrive once we finish our 2024 book releases. In the meantime, the entire second season is available for you to listen to below.

Please subscribe to the channel so you’re not only set for other great video content, but also for Season Three when it arrives before end of year.

This second season drew upon several books for the tales, MAGIC MAN PLUS 15 TALES OF TERROR being the main source. If you’d like to show support for this past season, please consider grabbing a copy in paperback or eBook for your library. Book info here.

Enjoy!

Time for stories.

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP21 Season Two Podcast Finale –

Mr. Jitterbones

Episode 21: Mr. Jitterbones – It is 1889, one year after the Ripper murders plagued London’s East End. It’s Hallowe’en and homeless man Jack McClay is preparing to hand out treats to the poor children that wander the city streets. But like last autumn, something sinister lurks in the dark, and this particular creature is out for one thing: blood, and it doesn’t care where it gets it. The creature appears . . . and it’s all skin and bones. Clik-clakity-clak-clak. Mr. Jitterbones has arrived.

This is it! Welcome to the Season Two finale of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast with A.P. Fuchs. That’s two seasons in the can. Done and done. But none of it could have been done without you, dear listener, so thank you.

It’s my sincere hope you enjoyed this second season of short stories, both creepy and heroic. Monsters and heroes reign supreme here so I hope you were satisfied with what was delivered.

If you’re just tuning in now or have been sporadically throughout this past season, please go ahead and take a look at all previous episodes and pick out some that tickle your fancy and have a listen.

To celebrate the end of Season Two, this is an extended episode and there is a very special performance after the credits so stick around for that. If you’re into the Spoken Word artform, you’ll dig it.

Thank you again for tuning in this season. It is much appreciated, and don’t worry, there is more to come . . . in Season Three.

Yours,

A.P. Fuchs

World Were II

Episode 19: World Were II – A father. A son. A bunker with bombs going off overhead. World War 2. One of them is a werewolf.

Welcome to the show! After taking a quick few funny jabs at the Prairies here in Canada, host A.P. Fuchs immediately gets into it and invites you to a story that involves some elements of a dark chapter in his family’s history . . . but with werewolves! The Story Behind the Story gives a little history on Fuchs’s background and his family’s involvement with the horrors of World War 2.

As a special segment this episode, after the credits A.P. Fuchs makes a stand against AI writing and art and calls it for what it is: theft.

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S02EP15 –

The Beat

Episode 15: The Beat – A trip to the cabin with Granddad leads to a haunting tick, tick, tick of doom. Is it all in Robbie’s head or is it happening for real? You decide as you listen to . . . the beat.

In this episode, Fuchs offers a little bit of home through the veil of fiction as well as a touch of family history which compliments the Story Behind the Story segment of the podcast.

This particular recording was done with A.P. Fuchs on the tired side, but as is his mission with his work, honesty and transparency is the allegiance of any writer or artist and that’s what you’re going to get with this week’s episode.

Close your eyes, lean back, and listen to a story that leaves you the power to decide what really happened.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.
