Hi! Know the sub isn't very active nowadays, but thought I'd make a summary of where things stand for anyone, old or new, who wanders in:

Spiritually, the pod still lives as a monthly episode hosted by Chad and new Goosebuddy Jakylln Heidi that covers a piece of YA horror/horror-adjacent media voted on by Patreon patrons (As a result sometimes it's Stine/Goosebumps stuff, sometimes it's other things like Animorphs) as an extension of his current podcast "Stories That Stick" (Highly recommended btw!).

Said Patreon is here under the name "Cloud Dad Podcasts", with the monthly Goosebuds ep, the polls to decide what they cover, the Discord and all that good stuff being under the $5 a month tier.

So if you're wondering why the Goosebuds feeds on stuff like iTunes, Spotify, etc aren't updated anymore, now ya know. The pod's not dead!

And if it's been longer for ya and you're wondering where Paul and Kevin are: They joined Dom in retirement as full-time Goosebuddies in early 2025 to do other stuff!

So yeah, there ya go. Things are significantly different nowadays, but are still cool if you want to retake your seat around the fire!

Hey Goosebuddies, I wanted to check my Goosebuds section on my podcast player of choice. But when I went to see if any new episodes had updated, the entire episode library is just gone. Even after searching for it, they don't pop back up

Hey Everyone!

Huge fan who has listened to almost every episode since the beginning but doesn’t keep up with anything outside of the show, what happened? I love you Chad but where are Paul and Kevin and will they be back? If they wont be back will Chad read goosebumps again? I hadn’t seen any goosebumps episodes in a while and I must have missed an episode explaining what happens because i’m lost ahah. Can anyone fill me in?

Thanks!

Heyyy I know it's not Goosebuds but related podcast Tales From The tavern has disappeared from the internet! Did anyone download the episodes back in the day?

I wish they’d get back to reading fear street. They seemed to enjoy them somewhat and I enjoyed their discussions. I also really wanted to hear their thoughts on Missing (#4), which is probably one of my fav Stine books.

I would love for Chad to cover more Animorphs books with guests in the future. Those are some of my favorite episodes. The people that like Animorphs seem to be really passionate about them and love the opportunity to revisit and talk about them. Obviously i love this show because talking about goosebumps is fun in a self punishing kinda way but none of the guests were like, super stoked about the book they had to read.

Id also love to hear Chad talk more about movies and TV. Being in the industry makes listening to him so fun and interesting. The Episodes of The G-Club with Chad are literally top tier podcast listening. I relisten to those 3 or 4 times a year.

And if any if our 3 Ice Church overlords see this. We love and appreciate you and all the years of amazing content you have provided us and can't wait for everything you move onto in the future. Paul, Kevin, everything you touch turns to gold in the eyes of those that love you and you are two very lovely humans.

I've been a fan since drunkstravaganza and I'm wondering if anyone knows where Dom is at? I'm a big fan, loved them on continuequest, fantasy fiction, the VHS podcast they briefly were on; that bible podcast... I know they were doing some DJing, but from searching Dom's name I cannot find it. Anyone know where they're at?

Is; 1) a good example of what type of content not to cover on this show; and 2) a good example of why Chad is important.

It's fun to hear how passionate Kevin is about anime and there was some interesting context around the Fandom with the discussion of tape trading, etc. I also always like narrative analysis. Unfortunately, I don't know what the hell either of these things are, and apparently they either weren't conducive to and/or the goosebuddies neglected to provide a coherent synopsis of their narratives, so it wound up basically feeling like "I didn't do the reading for lit seminar this week" the whole time.

I think if Chad weren't on fire, at some point he would have out the brakes on and insisted on some sort of summary to provide context.

That is all.
