Ep 99: Professor Timothy Eliot Stokes Character Analysis with Chad “Undead Johnny” Byers - Plus Rare Thayer David Interview

Occult scholar Professor Timothy Eliot Stokes is one of Dark Shadows’ most memorable and popular characters.

Other topics include: a chat about Chad’s Etsy shop Draigenmore Adventures, the potential for DS as a tabletop role-playing game, how Chad discovered DS, and more! SPECIAL BONUS: This episode includes a very rare 1969 interview with Thayer David from the Ron Barry Show. Stick around until the end to listen to it!
