    Apologies for the popping in the audio - lost the windshield for the mic, and no press area this year, so I was not sure how close to the mic I needed to be, but I tried to clean it as best as I can.

    Special thanks to Occam's Laser for providing new music for our intro, outro, and bumpers

    Sheffield Gothic, the organising group, is based in the School of English (not media) and is the Postgrad arm of the Centre for the History of the Gothic.

  • #84: The Suppressed Transmission, Part 2

    Despite high power government jamming, reducing audio quality to one quarter, Mike and Chigg start up the Secret Frequency once more. They diseminate critical storyteller information about pirate radio stations, historical cases of broadcast signal intrusion, and finally, the Toynbee Tiles. Stay tuned for Part 1, coming soon.

    Do not adjust your podcatcher. We control the vertical, and the horizontal. And The Messengers definitely aren't angels.
