Episode 1: Good News About Hell

YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks

From the creators of Damn Fine TV and Talking Backwards: A Twin Peaks Podcast, comes Severance Peaks, a brand new exploration into the surreal and sinister world of the Apple TV+ series Severance, while weaving in plenty of Twin Peaks connections, theories, and absurd humor along the way.

In this premiere episode, we introduce the mashup concept behind Severance Peaks, which began a few years ago when we launched a mashup meme page on Instagram. While this is mostly a Severance podcast, we all met while covering Twin Peaks, so connections to that show are bound to pop up!

We discuss the unsettling psychological horror elements, the juxtaposition of old and new technology, and just how far we’d be willing to go for the severance procedure ourselves.

With plenty of laughs, sharp observations, and some weird tangents (you wouldn't expect anything less), we're here to explore the eerie intersections between Lumon Industries and the uncanny. Beware: spoilers for both Severance and Twin Peaks are aplenty, so make sure you've clocked in for both shows before diving in with us!
