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...

We all wear masks throughout our lives- masks for bravery, masks to hide our pain, and sometimes masks made of the literal skin of a deity that we've cut down to silence those damn singing birds for once and for all. Whatever mask you choose to wear, make sure you wear it this evening while listening to the latest episode of the Hook Cooks! Along with our special guest for the evening, Chris Magilton from the audio drama podcast Among the Stars and Bones, the boys descend down a very dark stairc...

It was a night just like tonight, I got a visit from some dame who came knockin' on my door. She walked in on a pair of legs. She tells me that she's caught up in some no-good nonsense. I tells her she must be joking. So she starts going on about the latest episode of the Hook Cooks, about its intregue and mystery, like it's the cat's pajamas. I take me a minute, maybe longer, and pour myself another glass. It always goes well with the cheap smokes that I like to chew on when I'm bored. "Do sepi...

Do you hear that dripping? The constant droplets of water, falling square into the centre of your mind, endlessly? Even the largest mountains will eventually be worn down into dust by the ever-ongoing trickle of water. Now, what if that dripping were more drool like, and brackish? What if it were dripping from between two rows of teeth, and a pair of pale lips spread wide into a manic grin? Kinda gross, I'd imagine. But hey, at least they're having fun.

Have you ever thought about how you're always between other things? Like how sometimes you're sitting between other people, and other times you're in between reading about and listening to the latest episode of Hook Cooks! Transitioning between things is quite interesting, like how we're all always slowly marching towards entropy. But this time, wizards are coming. Multiverse-traversing and incredibly jacked wizards. You've been warned, and now it's time to change. Theme song is 'Sailing Away' b...

Don't bother tip-toeing around this episode- the hushed yet dulcet undertones of adventure, dripping from the silent, gaped maws of our hosts, snake inaudibly over still airwaves.

How many spice-farmers does it take to start a revolution? Ahem. This episode of Hook Cooks asks some powerful and challenging questions of all of us, and is in no way affiliated with KFC.

Hey, you wanna hear a secret about the so-called MOON LANDING? Buried deep in this totally normal episode of Hook Cooks is a story the government doesn't want you to know. They want you docile, content, at peace with your understanding of the world and the moon and how we 'supposedly' landed on it. Listen close everyone, say NAH to NASA, and wake up.
