In-depth conversations on Weird Tales

This is one of my favorite podcasts about weird fiction with intelligent connversation. One thing the quality of the audio and the host's voice fading in an out as if he's not speaking properly into the microphone. It may be the way he speaks too. Not certain which.

Weird Dream Society

Great interview with Julie C. Day, and terrific readings from the Weird Dream Society. Will have to get this volume - thanks for airing the program.

When y’all coming back?

I respect your personal life and space, and take your time if you need it. I just wanted to say this is my favorite podcast, and the last few weeks haven’t been sufficiently weird enough. Happy new weird!
