It’s amazing what ideas some minds can come up with. If it’s real enough, it is described as fact. If it is too fantastic, however, it is called science fiction. A contradictory of terms in itself. Fantasy and reality combined. And then some.

Combined with the key audience-pleaser of humor, Stars & Stuff includes a myriad of stories from the planet Terra to Jazuli III, from the 1950’s to the 25^th century A. D. After being availible only in cassette format for many years, Stars & Stuff is now availible on CD, including some goodies that weren't included in the original series (The Ah-Ha Phenomena and Tired of the Green Menace? aren't included, however. Also, a couple other stories are cut out as well. WHY did they have to cut out The Old Geezer's Tale? WHY??).

In spite of its crazy, unpredictable humor, Stars & Stuff may be best suited for older listeners. One reason for this is that two of the many multi-cassette/CD stories end unresolved (just like life, as PJ Ort says), and the listener is forced to ponder how the ending would be if it did exist. However, the narrator hints that one again, we may hear, once again, the familiar cry... "Spoolaga!" And there is some truth to this. Take a listen to Ruby 2, and you’ll see what I mean.
