Our 7th podcast featuring Colorado Death Rock band Witchhands. I have previously reviewed both of their albums and it was wonderful to discuss the Colorado scene, coming back from comas, and the future of death rock. This was our longest discussion yet, but I just love these guys so the time past quickly.
Band: Witchhands
Members: Vocals: Ryan Flint
Guitar: Aaron ‘Batboy’ Hernandez
Bass: Jodajen
Percussion: Sleezy B

In 1937, Amelia Earhart, a pioneer of aviation, attempted to fly around the world. Near the end of this journey, she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. In this episode we discuss Earhart's rise to fame, her world flight, her mysterious disappearance, and the theories about what might have happened to her.

It’s 2020 and I’m excited to be back for another year of shows. This month we’ve got another goth talk episode! We’re chatting about the music scene in general, our favorite trends of 2019, creator burnout, and yes, we get deep into discussing gatekeeping. Grab your favorite beverage and have a seat over there on the velvet couch next to the coffin, don’t mind Vlad he only bites when asked, I hope the incense doesn’t bother you.

Our guest this month is Krystina! She runs an interview show on YouTube called Portland Undead and is the band Loverload!

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.

It's the second week of January 2020, so here's the first episode of season 3 of Rose Sinister: Vampires, all about Elizabeth Kostova's 2005 novel "The Historian," which ruminates on history, evil, and Dracula.

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.
In 1845, Sir John Franklin and 129 men sailed into the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in search of the Northwest Passage. 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.

On this episode we are exploring the music, fashion, and drama of modern goth. We’ll be delving into anxieties around babybats, the newly popular synth/wave goth music, the divergence of fashion from the music, the relevance of transgression and a lot more about the lived experiences of the modern goth.
Our guest this month is Bianca Xunise! You can read about her journey as a black goth, read her interview with Bauhaus, and her comic about why music should be political!

Rats have a reputation for being disgusting plague carriers, but they're also thought of as integral to the scientific process and loving pets. In this episode we explore the three versions of the rat, their place in human history, and the ways in which they are more like humans than most people think.

Esotericism and mysticism have always been high on the list, right next to atheism, when it comes to the religious views of goths. On this episode we take a look at the long maligned and oft pejoratively goth associated, Satanism. We’ll be speaking with members of the Satanic coven Satanhaus about their link to goth, their beliefs, their practices and their philosophy.
Our guests this episode are Evyn and Thom of Satanhaus!
