Penny Cephalonia is a gorgon, snakes and all! In an effort to reconnect with her monstrous heritage, she started this podcast to interview fellow nonhumans (and the occasional interesting human)! Along with her oracle roommate Sibyl, who does the horoscope segment, and occasionally some commentary from her head-snakes, she'll explore the supernatural world with curiosity and charm.

Penny will be at SDCC, plus hiatus and crowdfunding news!
Just a quick announcement for you, listeners! Penny (and her human friend Rebecca) will be working a booth at San Diego Comic Con, the Luna Sea Studios/Little Vampires booth! In the meantime, THE GORGON SHOW is going on a hiatus for a bit.
Also, stay tuned, because THE GORGON SHOW is planning a crowdfunding campaign, which will mean lots of chances at extra content and ways to get involved with the show! -
Natasha the Rusalka!
Penny chats with another aquatic guest, this one undead! Natasha the Rusalka discusses a second life in the water and the many uses of long hair.
Content warning for this episode: discussions of sexual assault and suicide (non-graphic, part of rusalka lore)
Natasha the rusalka sounds spookily like Haviva Avirom, who can be found on Twitter at @bardic_lady, and who sells stunning jewelry here.
Penny Cephalonia sounds a lot like Rebecca Hicks, on Twitter at @RHicks.
Sibyl Corvin's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Jaci Szilagyi, who twitters at @jekyllyn.
Music is by TJ, the empathic vampire! Learn more or get your own awesome music at https://linktr.ee/afkai.
Editing by Sir Cai, formerly of the round table, who can be found on Twitter at @mynameisnotcai.

Former guest of the pod Cerberus handles social media for THE GORGON SHOW! One of the heads looks suspiciously like Brenden Southerland...

Navagunjara!
Penny talks with Navagunjara about the difficulties of dancing when none of your feet come from the same species, the joys of cosplay when you're naturally blue, and figuring out which of your nine component species is giving you that craving! Meanwhile, Sibyl the oracle wonders if a god is sending her a meme during the horoscope segment.
Navagunjara's voice sounds an awful lot like that of Mira Guha, who can be found on Instagram at @miraguhafitness or on her website.

Crikey the Knucker!
Penny talks with a Knucker, recording from his knucker hole. They discuss what exactly a knucker is, what kinds of human clothing impact digestion, and certain pie-based rumours.

Johann the Snallygaster!
It's time for another cryptid as Penny interviews the Snallygaster! Hear about having the same name as a certain musical snake, possibly being the only one of your kind, and the importance of saying thank you.
Johann the Snallygaster sounds a little like Luke Patrick, co-host of talk podcasts Hanksy Panksy and Greeced Lightning.

Hank the Gremlin!

Customer Reviews
Love this show!
Great premise & the snakes are my favorite!
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters Share Their Stories
Content:
The concept of this podcast is delightful! It seems to have found its legs pretty quickly, which is impressive for any dramatic or mockumentary-style podcast. Sybil’s horoscopes are surprisingly charming in their silliness and occasional horror, although I would enjoy hearing Penny’s hair-snakes’ commentary a bit more throughout. Perhaps they’ll chime in when Penny interviews a reptilian monster such as a basilisk or lamia in the future? The monsters that have appeared on the show so far have been interesting choices with a good amount of variety in whether the general public would be familiar with them. I was very excited to see Seanan McGuire, one of my favorite authors/comic writers, as the 4th episode guest, and I look forward to seeing what monsters or IRL monster media creators come on in the future!
Delivery:
Quite frankly, I could listen to the host read the Twitter trending page, and I would somehow come out of it more relaxed. She enunciates very clearly and her voice is calming without being a soporific. The theme song is a very good fit, and I appreciate that there isn’t distracting background music during the show. The overall voice acting of guests is quite good, and they’ve clearly done their research on their characters’ mythology. The sound quality is excellent, especially considering they are combining several recordings. Even some long-running, high quality podcasts struggle with sound quality and artifacts in a guest call, so I was impressed that the sound is so clean and volume levels are consistent.
