When Morton and Frank (AKA "Sheerluck Homes" and "The Doctor") are asked by Winnifred to investigate why Alice has been so rude to her, they discover that the root of the issue lies in a story that's been told to Alice. But they soon realise that there's something not quite right about this story! And the more they investigate, the more ridiculous things get!

Once again, the gang find themselves sitting round a campfire in Autumn telling stories - only this time, they're joined by Rob, who tells a story of his own - one that doesn't go down too well with Oz, Rosie, and Morton!Want a reminder of how this tradition started? Why not listen to (or re-listen to) the original Campfire Stories episode!

Here's the second episode of Safety Tips with Rob. Enjoy! And we'll be back with another full-length Cottonwood Trails episode on October 1st!

The Cottonwood Trails crew has had a crazy hectic summer this year, and so we had to take a bit of a break from full episode production, meaning, unfortunately, no full episode this September... BUT we do still have a couple of treats for you this month though - we're releasing the first two "Safety Tips with Rob" bonus episodes!!!So here's "Safety Tips with Rob" #1 (entitled "Pests"). Episode #2 will release later in September (so keep a look out for that!), and we'll be back to full episodes, as normal, in October!Want to hear the backstory behind the "Safety Tips with Rob" broadcasts?
