    Knock knock! Who's there?

    Why, it's only the Hook Cooks, here to cross the proverbial threshold into a truly doorknob-rattling adventure!

    ...

    Look, please just... just let us in, it's raining, like really raining, and we need a place to keep our japes and tomfoolery free from the wet. Please just let us drip-dry in the foyer... we'll regale you with a door-based fable in exchange! Afterall, as the good book says, "Door unto others"!

  • Twilight Drift
    Aug 21 2024

    There exists a magical time where the sunlight begins to die and the sky starts to darken, where all the mystical creatures of the world exist. The time when werewolves and vampires skulk, searching for fresh victims, themselves as well as each other. Also during that time, sometimes, you will find a dwarf riding on a steampunky kinda motorcycle. You may even find yourself listening to the dark and mystical podcast Hook Cooks. Tonight in the kitchen, imagine the boys weaving together a tale that is sure to suit the mood- the sensual thrumming of hot steel, spinning those hot wheels across a hot red rock. Could you even imagine?

    On your marks, get set..... listen!

    To this!

    It's an awe-inspiring Olympic episode from the tippy-top of the podcasting podium, your pals - the Hook Cooks. Our kitchen is thrumming with Olympic spirit, and we simply can't wait to represent you all (in a nonsensical sport of our own invention). Get excited, because we'll be talking about juicing at the Olympics - wait, relax, it's only like 60% what you think it is. So, in honour of the games, the athletes and the Olympic torch itself - let's get cooking!

  • Mask of the Maker (feat Chris Magilton)
    Jul 10 2024

    We all wear masks throughout our lives- masks for bravery, masks to hide our pain, and sometimes masks made of the literal skin of a deity that we've cut down to silence those damn singing birds for once and for all. Whatever mask you choose to wear, make sure you wear it this evening while listening to the latest episode of the Hook Cooks! Along with our special guest for the evening, Chris Magilton from the audio drama podcast Among the Stars and Bones, the boys descend down a very dark staircase wearing velvety, violet robes stained with just a little bit of blood, and prepare themselves for one hell of a ritual! I wonder if we'll ever find out what's going down in this mysterious town.

  • Speaking Sideways
    Jun 26 2024

    It was a night just like tonight, I got a visit from some dame who came knockin' on my door. She walked in on a pair of legs. She tells me that she's caught up in some no-good nonsense. I tells her she must be joking. So she starts going on about the latest episode of the Hook Cooks, about its intregue and mystery, like it's the cat's pajamas. I take me a minute, maybe longer, and pour myself another glass. It always goes well with the cheap smokes that I like to chew on when I'm bored. "Do sepia-toned noir rips like me get healthcare?" I say out loud- but the room's empty. Where even am I? I try to find a door, but there's no way out. I sit back down.

  • Synapse on Tap (feat Barry Walsh)
    Jun 12 2024

    Well hello there, travellers. Our performance tonight features none other than Barry from the legendary movie-plot-predicting podcast Blockblunders, so strap yourselves in. Take a seat and let us serve you a delightfully heady brew to tantilize your brainbuds and let all your worries drift away. Take in the rich, toe-tapping and relaxing ambiance of the newest episode of the Hook Cooks as we take your coat and dim the lights. But be careful not to lose track of time, or who you are. We have no clocks here, but who needs them anyway? Why not just stay here and drink your cares away...

    They keep telling us about the benefits of various leafy greens, but have you ever stopped to think that said leafy greens may actually be brainwashing our world's richest into becoming worker ants for Outsiders?! Well on tonight's episode of Hook Cooks we expose who is hot to trot, and who's got the brain rot. Think about it.

  • Smiling Flood
    May 8 2024

    Do you hear that dripping? The constant droplets of water, falling square into the centre of your mind, endlessly? Even the largest mountains will eventually be worn down into dust by the ever-ongoing trickle of water. Now, what if that dripping were more drool like, and brackish? What if it were dripping from between two rows of teeth, and a pair of pale lips spread wide into a manic grin? Kinda gross, I'd imagine. But hey, at least they're having fun.
