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"!

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?

On your marks, get set..... listen!

To this!

It's an awe-inspiring Olympic episode from the tippy-top of the podcasting podium, your pals - the Hook Cooks. Our kitchen is thrumming with Olympic spirit, and we simply can't wait to represent you all (in a nonsensical sport of our own invention). Get excited, because we'll be talking about juicing at the Olympics - wait, relax, it's only like 60% what you think it is. So, in honour of the games, the athletes and the Olympic torch itself - let's get cooking!

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 staircase wearing velvety, violet robes stained with just a little bit of blood, and prepare themselves for one hell of a ritual! I wonder if we'll ever find out what's going down in this mysterious town.

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 sepia-toned noir rips like me get healthcare?" I say out loud- but the room's empty. Where even am I? I try to find a door, but there's no way out. I sit back down.
