Tales from Cottonwood Trails

In the concluding episode of "Hornswoggled" - Mathilda, Morton, and Oz have successfully bluffed their way into the basement of "Delicacies for the Destitute", but Mathilda's plan to bring an end to the Pie Rats' sneaky plot to swindle pies from the animals of Cottonwood Trails soon backfires, leaving our three heroes with little choice but to invoke "Pie-lay" in a desperate bit to secure their freedom... Let the challenges commence!
Why not revisit Stewed Fruit and Pirate Loot? - the episode where we first meet the dreaded Pie Rats!

Happy New Year to all our listeners! 🎉
When Mathilda, Morton, and Oz deliver some pies to Delicacies for the Destitute, and realise that something doesn't seem quite right, they set off to investigate, and soon find out that there's "more than meets the pie!" when it comes to this charity!

Christmas morning brings an unpleasant surprise for Mathilda, after she receives some terrible gifts from Morton! And upon arrival at Rob's treehouse, she discovers that she's not the only one unhappy with Morton's ghastly gift choices!
This episode is all about thankfulness, and so we want to take a moment to say a HUGE thank you to our faithful listeners! We appreciate you SO much, and we wish you a merry, joy-filled Christmas!

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!
