The Daily Companion — Audio Edition No. 26 (Saturday, October 31, 2026)

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The Daily Companion — Audio Edition No. 26, for Saturday, October 31, 2026. Ansel the German Shepherd keeps the evening costume-parade route in order — the lead story, "THE PORCH LIGHT, KEPT IN ORDER," opens the paper and this edition. All eighteen Bryor readings for day nineteen of the season — the porch light, kept — plus the Tales (Greta's "The Shadow, Studied," Caspian, Ida, and Soren), weather for Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin, and Mexico City, and the Sit Stay Test game. The Police Report blotter, the featured report "The Gate, Considered Twice" (Elowen), and the Barketplace ticker and stories. Madame de Pamplemousse reads the editorial "Order Is a Kindness.", the letter from WILLOW the Whippet, Point and Counterpoint on patrolling the porch on Halloween, Ask Bruno, Corrections, and the Editorial Policy. The Book Page reviews You Decided to Get a German Shepherd — FIVE PAWS. Bruno's Blog: "On the Puppy Who Arrived Old," with the moral and Born Today. Music: one minute of "Nocturne Elevator" after the readings, and one minute of "The Velvet Corridor" before Bruno. Both are repeat airings under the owner's October 15 clearance — the never-aired song pool is exhausted, and No. 27 needs an owner ruling on the pool. The tipping disclosure (No. 1, British I) sits at MID, after the season block and before the readings. Disclosure: The Daily Companion is narrated by AI-generated voices.
