Dickey Newton is paranormal comedy fiction podcast written, edited, and (mostly) scored by myself, Colin Campbell. It’s somewhat of a spinoff from an actual play podcast I’m also involved with called Goonie’s World. What started as an 80s nerd archetype for a Kids on Bikes series, turned into a reoccurring character (along with his friends Plunger and Chip) across several TTRPG systems, becoming one of my favorite creations. I knew I wanted to explore more of him. (Man, that came out wrong.) If you want to explore more of him (or Plunger and Chip), too, check out Goonie’s World at its website, YouTube channel, or your podcast catcher of choice. Search for the aforementioned Kids on Bikes games, then listen to SPRINGS, Druids of Dragondale, and Risus (The Quest for Captain Chronos).
