  • Continental Breakfast: Wasted Spark
    Feb 5 2025

    Welcome back to another very special episode of Hook Cooks: Continental Breakfast, the improvised world-building show where we build a continent, one country at a time. In this week's stirring episode we answer such questions as 'Will Threepin ever graduate from bottling school?', 'Who left the dang lights on again?' and of course, 'What are those pesky elementals building?!'


    Join us as we delve into these questions and spend an inordinate amount of time trying to name this week's country.


    Thanks as always to HoliznaCC0 for our theme music, and to Avery Alder for The Quiet Year, from which we have drawn great inspiration.

    Knock knock! Who's there?

    Why, it's only the Hook Cooks, here to cross the proverbial threshold into a truly doorknob-rattling adventure!

    ...

    Look, please just... just let us in, it's raining, like really raining, and we need a place to keep our japes and tomfoolery free from the wet. Please just let us drip-dry in the foyer... we'll regale you with a door-based fable in exchange! Afterall, as the good book says, "Door unto others"!

  • Twilight Drift
    Aug 21 2024

    There exists a magical time where the sunlight begins to die and the sky starts to darken, where all the mystical creatures of the world exist. The time when werewolves and vampires skulk, searching for fresh victims, themselves as well as each other. Also during that time, sometimes, you will find a dwarf riding on a steampunky kinda motorcycle. You may even find yourself listening to the dark and mystical podcast Hook Cooks. Tonight in the kitchen, imagine the boys weaving together a tale that is sure to suit the mood- the sensual thrumming of hot steel, spinning those hot wheels across a hot red rock. Could you even imagine?


    Theme song is 'Sailing Away' by Holizna
