Slightly misguided (but up for anything) people from various walks of life meet in a craft brewery's parking lot to joust on bicycles of double the normal height, raise money for a nonprofit bicycle shop that focuses on urban transportation equity, and to joyously celebrate life in all of its absurdity.

Uniquely blending documentary and scripted elements, this very real tournament is presented by hosts from a SportsCenter-esque studio as though it is a live event of international significance—like the Super Bowl or World Cup—and the jousters hyped as the superheroes they so clearly are.

THE TALL BIKE JOUST originally served as a pilot for SMART PEOPLE BEING STUPID—an unscripted TV/ web series traveling the nation to find intelligent and successful people who engage in random, silly, and seemingly pointless events the general public does not even know exists. But, given the success of this pilot and of the underground sport of tall bicycle jousting, this project also now serves as a pilot for THE TALL BIKE JOUST WORLD CUP—an arced series following five jousters from the pilot as they earn points in tall bicycle jousting tournaments across the southeast and strive to be crowned the year-end champion.

When Ruby's father is murdered, her aunt trains her as an assassin to avenge his death.

A detective interviews an accident victim who claims his car accident was caused by the ghosts of his grandmother and her lover who stared at him as he drove away.

Breaking up is hard to do...with your BFF. Lexi Jones is on a mission to find a new best friend after breaking up with her toxic best friend of 20 years. In her search, she meets a bevy of interesting characters which makes Lexi wonder, if she made the right choice.

When the Dumont sisters receive the phone call from their mother, telling them to come home, they can never imagine the darkness that awaits. Upon return, the seemingly innocent family reunion takes a sudden, dark turn as their loyalty and love for one another is put to the ultimate test. Each dealing in their own ways, they must inevitably decide what they are willing to sacrifice for kin.

Doomed To Repeat is an actual-play podcast that builds an improvisational horror story using the Ennie award-winning tabletop roleplaying game, Delta Green.

The story centers around six "agents" working for the secret US government conspiracy known as Delta Green. For nearly a century this conspiracy has sacrificed countless agents to fight against very real unnatural horrors. These Eldritch truths must be kept hidden from the world at all costs.

However, when your organization's motto is "Scientia Mors Est" (knowledge is death) the bookkeeping can get messy and the unnatural is never truly understood.

That is, until our agents are assigned by their case officer to a new project known as operational PERENNIAL. The objective is simple; piece together the sordid history of their organization in order to better understand the vectors they face and how to stop them. After all, if we can't learn from our past we are doomed to repeat it.

The submission provided is episode 1 of arc 1 in which the agents investigate a recently deceased retired agent who may hold clues that can help their operation. It is a good example of the strong sound design, the compelling interplay between players, and ratcheting tension consistent throughout the entire show.

Doomed To Repeat has recently completed a second arc and due to popular demand, a third arc is in the works.
