In Which Our Hero Listens to a Melody

The Podcast Against Giygas: An Earthbound Story ·

2026/01/05

It’s only a few miles to the last sanctuary, our thermoses are full of hot cocoa, our backpacks are full of donuts, it’s ten degrees Fahrenheit outside and we’re not even wearing jackets. Hit it! The Chosen Four make the trek to Stonehenge, where the elusive last melody waits for Ness to record in his Soundstone. But if you think they’re getting at it without tangling with a fearsome guardian, meeting an odd companion, and learning a thing or two about the world they live in first, well… have...

2025/12/22

The third Sanctuary is in the bag, now on to the fourth! …except, well, there’s a big, and frankly kind of silly, obstacle hopelessly in their way. While the Chosen Four are stranded in Winters and Jeff works tirelessly on an invention to clear the path forward, Prince Poo takes it upon himself to whisk Ness away to his homeland, the misty mountain kingdom of Dalaam. There, the Prince has big things to share with his companion, about his home, his quest, and his ultimate destiny. Will Ness ke...

2025/12/15

It was a heck of a fight between Ness and Prince Poo versus the Carbon Dog, and Ness more than earned his right to visit the Fire Spring. While Ness is occupied with the Third Sanctuary (FINALLY!!), the others of the Chosen Four open up to each other. Maybe now they’ll understand just what is going on with Paula and her visions, anyway, and just why is Prince Poo like that, anyway… and, by the way, where has ugh, PORKY been all this time? Will Ness come down from the fiery mountain a be...

The Lost Underworld, where dinosaurs roam the earth! There’s no time for a picture, though, Ness and his friends have a third Sanctuary to get to. Oh yeah, been a while since we’ve been to one of those, huh? Well, this Sanctuary is a little different from what the Chosen Four have been used to up till now. Ness must traverse the inside of a live volcano, an impossibly hot and hostile uphill trek toward the mysterious Fire Spring. There, he must face his most dangerous foe yet... And yea...

2025/12/01

Prince Poo got a right trouncing and now he’s more or less on Ness’s side for good. And not a moment too soon, because Ness is going to need all the help he can get for the next leg of his adventure! After so many setbacks and delays, the Chosen Four finally head to the Great Pyramid in the desert of Scaraba, wherein lies the way to the ever-elusive Third Sanctuary. From there, it’s just a matter of figuring out the mysterious riddle of the Sphinx. And then solving a good old-fashioned dungeo...

2025/11/24

The fourth member of the Chosen Four has arrived at long last! …too bad that fourth member happens to be Prince Poo, of all people. Still miffed at his recent role of servitude, he can’t help but make life a complete drag around Ness, Paula, and Jeff. He acts like such a jerk to the others that it’s bound to all come to a head, where Ness will indeed get into a fight. And while he and his friends encounter a horrible sea monster with razor-sharp fangs and fiery breath, that’s not even close t...

Far away in the misty mountain kingdom of Dalaam, the young emperor-to-be Puyi, the very same mysterious boy who had been popping in and out of Ness’s adventure, finally readies himself to properly join the Chosen Four. First, he must complete the great and harrowing trial of Mu, in which he must embrace pure emptiness itself. Then, after accepting the grand treasure of the Dalaamese people, the ancient and powerful Sword of Kings, he must walk across the sky, thousands of miles away in mere ...

2025/11/10

Well gang, looks like bailing out the Runaway Five was a dead end after all. Still stranded on the tourist-trap land of Summers, Ness and his friends agree to help a salty old Sea Captain who has enough barnacles for brains to sail the treacherous waters to the Scaraban Desert. All they have to do is convince the Captain’s wayward wife to quit the pretentious Stoic Club and start making her wonderful “magic cakes” again. Simple, right? All they have to do is get a password to get into the Sto...

Ness and Jeff reach the top of the dastardly Geldegarde Monotoli’s impossibly tall building to find… Paula perfectly safe and in good spirits? And Mr. Monotoli… not so dastardly?! Yes, the mayor of Fourside was just as much a prisoner of the demon statue’s evil influence as anyone else in the big city was. After the old man explains everything, he promises to reach into his deep pockets and help the kids anyway he can, and a good start would be arranging direct transportation to the next Sanc...

Welcome… to Moonside! Ness drinks the coffee, and finds himself in a spooky inversion of the big city of Fourside. Dodging monsters and wacky townspeople alike, Ness frantically heads closer and closer to the demon statue. Meanwhile, poor Jeff is still stuck in the real world, and it’s up to him to keep Ness’s body safe while his friend’s consciousness wanders around the neon nightmare world. And that’s a tall order in itself, what with Ness stumbling into heavy traffic, a security system ful...

Fourside at last! Ness, Paula, and Jeff get busy tracking down that insidious demon statue from Twoson, but it will be easier said than done. All alone in a sprawling big city, full of grumpy adults who’d rather slurp down bitter coffee and get mad at the news than so much as give the hapless kids directions, and with no leads except the penthouse suite of the huge Monotoli Building, where security is tight and kids are definitely not allowed. If that wasn’t bad enough, an especially gr...

What the heck is this place?! Emerging victorious against the monster underneath Threed, the children find themselves in a wacky world inhabited by the Mr. Saturns, a race of silly little creatures as brilliant as they are friendly. Grateful for rescuing them from that horrible vomit beast, they show Ness and his friends a good time in their village before leading them to the second Sanctuary at last. And then, they’re off on the next leg of their adventure, farther away from Onett than Ness ...

The nefarious Happy-Happy Cult has been defeated, Ness has one part of the Sanctuary’s melody good and recorded in his Soundstone, and now it’s time to get out of Twoson and hit the road. Too bad the next town over has been invaded by spooky zombies! With such an infestation of the living dead in Threed, no buses will go near it with a ten-foot pole. Nuts! Ness and Paula have no choice but to bum a ride with the touring yacht-rock act the Runaway Five, who just so happen to be Ness’s pa...

Finally, Ness made it out of Onett alive and into Twoson. Now what?! All alone in a strange new town, with nothing to go by but the voice of a girl in his head, and the fact that the first glowing glyph on his mysterious Soundstone looks a whole lot like Twoson’s world-famous tourist attraction, Ness sets out to make some sense of this whole weird thing. Too bad he’s going to have to deal with an especially sinister element lurking in the underbelly of the small town, as ruthless and cunning ...

Finally, it’s Ness’s twelfth birthday! Nothing in the whole wide universe could ruin a rockin day like that. Nothing, of course, except the horrible news that the weird events of the night before were NOT a dream! Now, with his lucky red cap on his shaggy head, his new red high-tops tied, and his brand-new Gutsy Bat in hand, Ness steps outside the safety of his house to save the world as we know it!

Almost-twelve-year-old normal boy Ness finds himself in an anything-but-normal situation when a meteor crash-lands in his sleepy small town of Onett. Wandering out of the house at night to investigate while only in his jams, and armed with only a cracked wooden baseball bat, his trusty dog King, and his irritating next-door-neighbor Minch, Ness discovers he has an important part to play in an huge intergalactic conflict, and by the end of the episode makes not one, but two deadly enemies!
