b'Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!!\\nAre you ready for some new bits!? Here comes\\xa0Science: Just in Case,\\xa0a new segment of questionable scientific value where Ken explores stupid ways to set things on fire and Heather listens on in abject horror.\\nThe we get to the literature. This week, Heather reads for us another tale from SciFi great H. G. Wells. Ken has chosen a story called "The Truth About Pyecraft". But you could be forgiven for hearing "Pie Craft".\\xa0 We were definitely hoping for a story about baked goods and witches.\\nThis weeks story comes with an extra little content warning because the narrator is pretty callous and careless about body shaming.\\xa0 What a dick.\\nAlso, fair warning you will hear:Stupid things you should not do at home with household items (and when you don\'t do it, also don\'t send picture **winky face**).A very unappetizing tea recipe.An unpopular opinion about the television program\\xa0The Office.\\n"The Truth About Pyecraft" was first published in 1903 in The Strand, which is almost as cool as Highlights for Kids.\\nRemember to tell five friends to check out\\xa0Campfire Classics.\\nNow sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.'
