Podcasts that love horror books pt 2

So many podcasts!

I thought I could make one podcast episode where I talked to some folks who podcast about horror, and it would be a one-stop-shop for folks looking for a new favorite commute time killer (hmm. commute-time killer? commute time-killer?)

Well, as is often the case, it wasn’t until I was in the middle of it that I realized two things:

* There are so many podcasts talking about horror books.

* Podcasters love to talk - so my 15-20 minute target often ended up going way longer than that.

* (I know I said two, but heck this deserves a bullet) There’s a ton of podcasts where the only topic is Stephen King and his books.

Episode One

Episode Two

Neil McRobert kicks off the second episode, talking about his well respected podcast TALKING SCARED. Max Booth III follows, always fun to talk to Max, and we get into the various podcast projects they have going on. Finally, I included myself in this series - not out of vanity, but rather, in case a listener came to these episodes from an outside audience, I thought they might be curious about what I get up to at the ARC PARTY, so I brought in backup to interview me about this humble effort.

The Guests

Talking Scared - Neil McRobert

Conversations with the biggest names in horror fiction. A podcast for horror readers who want to know where their favorite stories came from ... and what frightens the people who wrote them.

Ghoulish & Dog Ears - Max Booth III

GHOULISH is a weekly comedy podcast celebrating all things spooky, hosted by Max Booth III.

DOG EARS is a podcast about publishing, writing, and dogs.

The ARC Party - Robb Olson (with Ryan McRae interviewing)

Your first look at upcoming books!

My goal with the ARC Party is to connect readers with books before they release! Much of the success of a new book is connected to pre-orders and early sales numbers, but sometimes people don't hear about a book until long after it's been released.

An episode typically consists of an author giving a quick description of their book, followed by a spoiler free discussion about it. We often talk about themes, characters, settings, etc.

But I'm careful to not talk about anything that would ruin the reading experience!
