The Goat American Novel

Dramatized Comedy Series

What happens when the farmer is away, and the new farmhand isn’t prepared for what’s coming to the herd: barn hauntings, suspected chupacabra problems, a creepy new neighbor, and one chocolate crazed, possibly-immortal squirrel…

Welcome to The Goat American Novel, an all-ages barnyard comedy thriller! This richly-produced, serialized journey will take you deep into the life of a goat herd; goat rivalries, goat hauntings and goat legends, goat nemeses, goat drama. This podcast, produced by beloved family storyteller Hilde Festerling and three generations of her family, uses live music, sound design, character voicing, and many- so many!- goat impersonations to bring Barnyard Gothic to life. So gather round a roaring fire and Mom’s old laptop, snuggle in with your family, whatever shape your family is, even just you and your cat- and let us take you away with the herd.
