A podcast about the superhero book series by Bill Meeks
Dogboy, aka Bronson Black, is Colta City's 13-year-old superhero. In Dogboy Adventures he solves crimes, fights bad guys, and searches for the answers behind his strange powers.
Written by Bill Meeks (billmeeks.com).
"Make Your Own Luck," featuring the world of Dogboy Adventures!
In the podcast studio deep inside the Franklin W. Dixon Memorial Library, Jeremy Hahn is recording the latest episode of his Dogboy Adventures fan podcast "Greetings from Colta City." He’s invited his theater buddy Clara Danvers on to dissect Dogboy's "subversive" violence, but he didn't plan for the chemistry crackling across the studio in his meticulous show doc. While Jeremy hides behind his fandom, Clara derails the recording with a plot twist he never saw coming. A romantic story about the roles we play to protect ourselves and the courage it takes to make a move.
In the aftershow, creator Bill Meeks chats with Rebecca Johnson (voice of Clara Danvers, host of Supergirl Radio (https://supergirlradio.com/), and the voice of LeAnne Snyder on The Fakist (https://thefakist.com/)) about their long history as creative collaborators, starting as rival Once Upon a Time podcasters before launching sister podcasts based on DC Comics TV properties (https://www.youtube.com/@DCTVPodcasts). They look back on their history of "bringing the heat" to each other's projects, including the time Bill voiced the spectral Deadman for Rebecca’s Supergirl Radio holiday special (https://supergirlradio.com/episodes/supergirl-radio-season-4-should-auld-acquaintance-be-forgot/). A celebration of the community hiding in the "clerical work" of fan podcasting and the joys of a creative partnership that spans a dozen projects and more than a decade.
NEXT TIME: A thrilling action tale set in the TV studios of local TV station WART-TV.

Hot John Hates Holidays (Prequel to Den of Thieves)

Experience the infamous broadcast that allegedly got Dogboy Adventures (https://everlyheights.tv/tools/books/dogboy-adventures-collection/) cancelled, presented exactly as it aired following WART-TV's Festive Greetings Holiday Parade. In the shadow of the rusted Curleyworld theme park, former carney Jon "Hot John" Pyre and his son Scotty scrape by in a freezing Winnebago, surviving on cold beans and hard truths. Desperate to give his son a better future, John concocts a yuletide lie to drive Scotty away, all while secretly selling his muscle to the Guild of Thieves. A gritty, tear-stained holiday noir about sacrifice, "bad" dads, and the lies we tell to protect the ones we love. Once thought lost, the episode was recovered in a YouTube video featuring the full parade, an interview with Full House's Jodie Sweetin, and the only known recording of "Hot John Hates Holidays."
In the aftershow, Bill Meeks reunites with Nathan Beatty, the original "voice of Colta City" who narrated the Dogboy audiobook series a decade ago. Nathan shares what it was like stepping back into the cowl after all these years and debates which character is more fun to play: the gruff Hot John or the verbose Osbert. Plus, Nathan shares his own most memorable Christmas in this special look behind the mask of Everly Heights’ favorite pulp hero. Includes several promotional video clips for the original book series.

"Everly Heights Tales" Preview - A New Audio Drama from Bill Meeks, creator of the thing you're subscribed to
A sneak peek at an upcoming episode of the new audio drama anthology from Bill Meeks.
Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of '90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, "Welcome, Freshmen" will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do "creative accounting" for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.
