Sounds and Shadows Podcast #14 Featuring Steven Archer. Steven is a Renaissance man who is has been involved in several important music projects in Goth/Industrial in the last 2 decades. Ego Likeness, Stoneburner, ect. Also a writer and visual artist. I speak to him fairly frequently online , however I think this was the longest verbal conversation we ever had. I think it was a wonderful glimpse into the details of his artistic process and his journey though music and art.

I love every podcast we have done. This one was really special though. Ania is such a force of nature. Her music, her passion, and laser focus on her goals. I really feel this is the most personal and revealing conversation we have had of an artist. It felt so good how much she opened up about her life and journey. This is a future star and being able to feel the glow of her rise is a gift. As always I will link the bands we discussed as well as pictures of her dog.

During the Victorian era, the practice of capturing photographs of the dead was part of a complicated etiquette surrounding death and mourning. In this episode, we examine that etiquette and how post-mortem photography developed, its processes and how it aided in the mourning process.

Surprise, fans! 

On the 3rd day of January, 2020, I give you... the final episode of the truncated second season of Rose Sinister: Vampires, an episode that is literally so many months overdue that I had to go back and re-edit out some of the stuff that was no longer relevant. Astute listeners will easily find the spot I didn't edit out. 

 

THERE WILL BE A SEASON3! It is in the works and currently fairly far along. Season 3 will be more like season 1 was: regular uploads every 2 weeks.

Hello listeners,

It’s been some time since my last confession, I mean, podcast. Today marks the Australian Summer Solstice, so it’s time to turn the page, welcome new light and look forward to a new decade. Despite my absence the world of Goth continues to turn and we can reflect on the year just gone with some guests in an unconventional format. The show is usually interview based, but being that I have not had a show for over 6 months, let’s cram in a few of my favourite Goths in one episode. They are all women, they are all strong individuals who have successful projects with much more to come. I’m talking about Nnaus A. O. Feratu, Adrienne Lavey and the lovely Angela Benedict. We discuss their recent and upcoming achievements, American politics and of course, various taboo subjects when it comes to YouTubers and the state of the universe as it now remains.

Be sure to check out each of their channels if you’re new to their work, listed below, along with what they are all currently listening to, because despite the bitching, we love the music and always will.

Happy New Year and may 2020 be all that you want it to be. Stay dark and thanks for listening.

They were never seen again, and what happened on that expedition has remained a mystery. In this episode, we explore the 19th century attempts to find them, and the more recent information gleaned from what's been found, including artifacts and human remains.
