A roundtable discussion with Laird Barron, John Langan, and SP Miskowski. It was a fantastic episode. Our thanks to Laird for suggesting something like this. Look to the future for further interviews with Laird and John at The Great Lakes Horror Company Podcast, which is where this idea manifested (Unsure of when those interviews will be released.). 

In this episode, we discuss weird fiction's origins, the present, and possible future for the genre. We also discuss the writers working today who make our guests excited. 

It's a packed episode, so grab a beverage and a snack.

We lost a legend on July 16, 2017. George Romero not only made awesome zombie films, he also helped create the zombie subgenre as we know it today. Jason and Michael, both big fans of his work, say goodbye the only way they know how or can, discussing his movies.

R.I.P. George.

Edd Sowder from Burning Willow Press joined Jason and Michael to share some great news! Want to know what it is? Then you'd better grab yourself a beverage and settle in.

It's a barebones episode this week. So no music. Might keep it this way, as well. So much easier to edit. HA!

Thanks for listening!
