Traversing Tuesdays | serial fiction cozy animal comedy with satirical spoof ads

Cozy, whimsical animal comedy podcasting set in Three Pines Junction, a small woodland community with big personalities and even bigger opinions. Serial fiction for nature lovers, Gen X humor fans, and anyone who has ever wished the news came from a squirrel in a suit. Perfect for fans of character-driven narratives who enjoy a safe-for-work yet cleverly irreverent take on small-town life. Tuesday News Network brings you all the news you want to hear: local wildlife updates, breaking Moss Ball coverage, gnome commerce, and the occasional existential question from a mysterious AI correspondent named Dell. Hosted by Rupert Kettle, a squirrel of some local renown, the cast includes Sister Cat (window correspondent and nap consultant), Fenwick the Snail (underground correspondent and fan favorite), Stephen the Squirrel (sports anchor and chaos agent), and the Friendly Water Glass, who reminds you to stay hydrated and means it. Night programming at Sparky's Tavern features Trina the Trash to Treasure Diva, a dumpster-diving raccoon who reminds us that luxury is a mindset, not a price point. Iris the Night Owl Bookworm shares her honest reviews of books written by local authors. Dell provides coverage of nocturnal creature activity and music by local bands. Family friendly. Genuinely funny. New episodes the first and third Tuesday of every month.
