    Whither Cruel World? 2026 Festivals & Lack Thereof

    After a bit of a hiatus, the podcast returns with an all-new permanent co-host. Please welcome DJ SailorGloom, who was a guest on the previous episode and now joins Jeff Cioletti as a regular voice on the podcast! We get a potential update on the mysterious disappearance of the Cruel World festival (it's not necessarily good news), and we critique the lineup of other events like the return of Darker Waves fest in Orange County, California, and Chicago's Cold Waves.
