Sascha Martin’s Ripping News: the Podcast, by John Arthur Nichol
The creator of Sascha Martin's Rocket-Ship, Sascha Martin's Time Machine, Sascha Martin's Super Ball and Sascha Martin's Zombie Dust (Sascha Martin) now brings you Sascha Martin's Ripping News (the podcast), narrating the further inventions of Sascha Martin and his misadventures on earth and beyond, in the present, in the past and possibly at other times, in the company of friends and teachers, aliens and dinosaurs, zombies and megafauna, and his ever-present, ever-demanding not-friend, Mary-Alice.
Season One
Teaser Episode 1: Sascha Martin’s Gobbly Goo, Part One, where Sascha drops a hideous new invention, and it falls on Mary-Alice to reveal its diabolical consequences.
Teaser Episode 2: Sascha Martin’s Gobbly Goo, Part Two, where Mary-Alice’s downfall is but the harbinger of yuck and horror, as Sascha’s Gobbly Goo obliterates the school (eats it, actually) and rampages, merciless, masticating and mucusy, towards the world beyond the fence.
Teaser Episode 3: Sascha Martin’s Gobbly Goo, Part Three, where, with ravenous fury (can mucus be angry?) Sascha’s exponentially increasing goo gobbles, gulps and grimly gallops in all directions until … Well, you really have to be there. Listen on, brave listener. And brace for surprise.
Episode 1: Sascha Martin’s Rocket-Ship, the very first Ripping News, where legends are launched, teachers are traumatised, classrooms are emptied, and Landfill Public School becomes a Centre of Excellence in Surprise.
Episode 2: Sascha Martin’s Time Machine. Sascha’s latest news brings Landfill face to face with its long lost megafauna. They’re alive. They’re immense. They’re intense. And they’re everywhere! Nobody is safe. Not even Mary-Alice! Oh my god!
Episode 3: Sascha Martin’s Super Ball. As Landfill Public School prepares for its Book Parade, excitement reaches fever pitch and, with a little help, Sascha’s latest catastrophic invention drops upon an unsuspecting world.
Episode 4: Sascha Martin’s Zombie Dust. Can a biro, a battery and hair clip prevent the Earth’s destruction in a few short hours' time? And what fresh horrors will rise from the darkness, when girls turn bad?
Episode 5: Sascha Martin’s Pitchy Witch, Part One. School holidays bring Sascha and Luca no respite from their not-friend, so they’re pretending she isn’t there. It’s an outrage. It cannot stand. And Mary-Alice’s revenge will echo up through the ages.
Episode 6: Sascha Martin’s Pitchy Witch, Part Two, where Mary-Alice falls from the sky again and lands face to face with a very troubling mystery. She is, however, finally receiving all the respect and awe that is her due, until her clingy best friend ruins the moment.
Episode 7: Sascha Martin’s Pitchy Witch, Part Three. Her intelligence garbled, her vehicle flooded, Mary-Alice mixes it up with a murderous malefactor determined to end her mad meanderings … and not in a good way.
