Episode 1: Trick or Treating with Noah and Ursula

Happy Halloween! (Well, close enough, it’s the day before.)

Welcome to the first episode of my new podcast, Rats Vs. Brats: Strange Little Stories from the Mind of Pyra Draculea, in which I narrate strange and funny little short stories I’ve written. Today’s episode, “Trick or Treating With Noah and Ursula” is a short little father-daughter Halloween tale containing characters from 3 of my comic projects: Noah and Ursula from Noah’s Archipelago, Ricky and Myles from Ricky B. the Rock N Roll Rat, and Zamo from Zamo the Destroyer.

Ursula hopes to hide her candy haul from her father to avoid the dreaded “Dad Tax” in which Noah steals her precious peanut butter cups. Along the way, she runs into a few of the neighbors of whom the grownups in her life think Ursula is making up stories.

Meanwhile, Noah’s got band drama to contend with.


Next episode will be in a week or two with another funny short story involving Noah, Ursula, and the rest of the gang.

In the meantime, for more from Noah and Ursula, check out Bring Me the Royal Flip-Flops: A Noah’s Archipelago Comics Treasury, which is available now on Amazon.

Rats Vs. Brats is a comedy/speculative fiction podcast in which I narrate weird little short stories involving characters from my various otherwise separate comic projects interacting.
