  • S14 Ep5: Mermaids in Art!
    May 31 2026

    We have for you this evening a deluge of divine underwater divas! Mermaids are some of folklore and fantasy's most magical creatures, and for centuries, artists have been obsessed with bringing them to life on canvas. Our three, briny, beautiful paintings are: Ulysses and the Sirens, by Herbert James Draper. Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom, by Ilya Repin. And Contemplation or Promise, by Victor Nizovtsev. Don't forget your snorkel!

  • S14 Ep4: Mr. Hemlock's Helper
    May 17 2026

    Thank you so much for volunteering to help Mr. Hemlock with the necessary gardening chores, Dear Guest! We were amazed at the lightning speed with which you raced to scribble your name on the sign-up sheet! Why, you seemed almost to be in a fever-dream as you drove your pen into the paper with madness, then you wandered away giggling and mumbling to yourself. In any case, we appreciate your overt willingness to lend a hand. And we certainly won't forget your efforts. We doubt that you will forget, either...

  • S14 Ep3: The Count and The Corpse Bride
    May 3 2026

    Calling all ghouls! If you are a fan of all things grim and ghastly, tonight's reading is for YOU! This is the story of Carl Tanzler, "Count von Cosel," who fell so deeply in love with a young woman he saw in his visions, that he wouldn't let the fact that she was dead stand in the way of their romance. Obsession, tragedy, grave-robbing, secrecy, necromancy, and discovery—tonight's reading has it all. Join us! (Sponsored by The League of Lady Gravediggers)

A must listen for weirdos like me 👻 One of the best podcasts that I have listened to (and I have listened to quite a few). Maybe Madame has put a spell on me... With the help of Mr Darling...

Whimsical, spooky, witty.
