VAST Horizon

We've officially been podcasting for TEN years! We feel old, but also extremely grateful! Join us for a short chat, and a horror story. If you enjoy our story here and maybe don’t know about what else we create, check out The Liberty Podcast for dark sci-fi, the Don't Mind anthology for mysterious spine chillers, The White Vault for arctic frights, and Dark Dice for a horror fantasy. You can also follow us on YouTube. Our careers and the lives we have now would not be possible without our amazing Patreon supporters! ⁠Patreon.com/foolandscholar⁠ to help us get through the next 10 years.

Dark Dice: Season 3: Shores of the Silver Thrum - A new tale by Fool & Scholar Productions. ALSO: Even if you've never played Dungeons & Dragons before... Prepare to embark on a legendary adventure! We're thrilled to offer you the chance to win a seat at the renowned Dark Dice D&D table, set in the enchanting surroundings of historic Lumley Castle.
