Fate, Luck & Karma: Geek Culture with a Side of Strange

Join Dean, Jay and Theo as they discuss the largest ever gathering of Ghostbusters in the UK at Cross The Streams 2, celebrate the successful backing of the Haslab Ecto, consider whether or not the new Real Ghostbusters Funko Pops will be making their way into their collections, and talk about Celeste O'Connor's upcoming role in Scream 7. 

Keeping with the comedy horror theme, the guys also discuss the rather heavily influenced by Ghostbusters episode of What We Do In The Shadows. Which is essentially what would happen if Vampires had proton packs. 

Plus, the team reveal a cool new bit of tech that translates the podcast into a whole host of languages - while keeping your favourite presenters voices and accents intact! We're going international, baby! No stopping us now!

Triskaidekaphobia aside, join Dean, Lee, Jay and Theo for Season 2, Episode 13 of Fate, Luck & Karma: A Ghostbusters Fan Podcast.

In this episode, the team talk about a recent Dan Akroyd interview where he hinted that both he and Bill Murray were done with the Ghostbusters franchise, how Ernie Hudson wants to be THE voice of Winston, wherever he appears, and we consider whether or not the Haslab Ecto crowd-funded project is going to come roaring over the finish line... or end up broken down before reaching the chequered flag. 

All of this, while Theo deals with a swollen eye, which we definitely don't pick on him about at all in this episode.

OK, maybe a little bit. 

Oh, and being British, we also open up the show talking about the weather. We can't confirm if cups of tea were consumed while this part of the podcast was recorded. Chin chin!

Join Dean, Jay, Lee and Theo as they talk to Cross The Streams organiser - and Worcester Ghostbuster - Mark Feltwell. The team discuss the challenges of planning the largest UK gathering of Ghostbusters, the logistics of getting everyone in the right place at the right time, what to do when some Ghostbusters miss the mass photoshoot because they'd wandered off for lunch, and much more. 

Cross The Streams will be happening as part of MCM Comic Con at the NEC in Birmingham, England on Saturday 30th November, and will see Ghostbusters from around the country descend on the West Midlands to hang out, catch up, and enjoy the usual comic con geek fun.

Plus, the team discuss a recent fund-raiser for the Mary Stevens Hospice, the 8 mile walk that quickly turned into a 10 mile walk, all in the name of charity, plus Dean and Theo on the BBC Late Show - their second time on BBC Radio!

Join the team as they discuss the sequel to previous Haslab Ghostbuster campaigns that saw both the Spengler Pack and Ghostbusters Plasma Series HasLab Two in the Box! Ghost Trap and P.K.E. Meter be successfully backed and moved into production - but this time around, it's the Haslab Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile!

You'll hear Dean, Lee, Jay and Theo talk about if they're backing either of the two tiers of Hasbro Ecto collectibles, whether they'd display the Ghostbusters 1984 film version of Ecto-1, or the Ghostbusters II 1989 film version, and why the Library Ghost figure might just be their favourite Ghostbusters action figure of all time. 

Plus, they discuss why Hasbro can't seem to keep a secret, why their plans for a live reaction were scuppered when news of the Haslab project leaked before New York Comic Con... and how they're sad that Krispy Kreme still haven't sent them any Ghostbusters-themed doughnuts. Maybe one day. Maybe...

All this and much, much more in this in-depth deep dive into the newest collectible on the Ghostbusters block. Let us know if you're going to back the project, and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get this podcast - it'll really help us grow.

 In this bite-sized Paranormal Takeover special, there's a whole lot less of us, and a whole lot more of our listener stories. In this episode, you'll hear about a listener who finds herself out of time, an Irish mum whose little boy seems to be quite the old soul, a man who gets told in no uncertain terms to leave a scenic spot in the West Midlands, and one lucky man who avoids disaster because of fate, luck or karma... or maybe something even more supernatural. 

Continuing our run of episodes specially made for spooky season, this mini episode is a great way to get in the mood for Halloween. So it's once again time to dim the lights, draw the curtains and get ready for more never before heard tales of the unexplained.

 In this second half of a special two-part series, Fate, Luck & Karma wanders once again towards the other side with our Paranormal Takeover. 

This time, you'll hear more stories from members of the West Midlands Ghostbusters, all talking about their weird, spooky, scary, unexplained or just plain odd experiences. This time around, we've got heart-breaking premonitions by a young child, the ghost of an underaged coal miner, a ghostly game of chess that could have been pulled straight from the script of Ghostbusters Afterlife or Frozen Empire, and a sinister ghost that drags an innocent woman towards him using a thick rope noose... It's not for the faint-hearted. 

Just in time for spooky season, this second episode is a great way to get in the mood for Halloween, so dim the lights, draw the curtains and get ready for never before heard tales of the unexplained.

In this first half of a special two-part series, Fate, Luck & Karma wanders dangerously close to the other side with our Paranormal Takeover. You'll hear stories from members of the West Midlands Ghostbusters, all talking about their weird, spooky, scary, unexplained or just plain odd experiences. From poltergeist activity and doors that fly open with such force that they break the plaster on the adjoining door, to the healing hands of a dearly departed loved one, all the stories you hear are first-person accounts of the paranormal.

Just in time for spooky season, this episode is a great way to get in the mood for Halloween, so dim the lights, draw the curtains and get ready for never before heard tales of the unexplained.

In Episode 7 of Season 2, the guys talk how much money the latest round of Ghostbusters movie props sold for at auction (and why one particular piece didn't sell at all), plus we get all confessional by talking how many times we've watched Ghostbusters movies... and the results might surprise you. 

Plus, there's a call out to hear from you, dear listener, about what you wanna hear from us in upcoming episodes. 

All of this, from us to you, in under 30 minutes: so get it in your ears, folks!

On Episode 6 of Fate, Luck & Karma, the team talk all about making a wish come true for the big bad villain from Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (or at least the man who played him on-set), what the new Haslab Ghostbusters release might be, and what we're expecting from the new Ghostbusters Animated Series that's been recently green-lit by Netflix. 

Plus, hear Jay's request for an action figure-scale bust of the Statue of Liberty, and why Dean and Theo want it to have "real flame action"... Also, we dive into Lee's encyclopaedic brain to decide which was the creepiest of all the ghosts in either The Real Ghostbusters or Extreme Ghostbusters cartoons (spoiler: it'll steal your eyes). 

All this, plus the random references to cake, Rockin' Roger and sexy corridors that you've come to expect from the boys at Fate, Luck & Karma. Settle in, give us 30(ish) minutes, and we'll give you the Ghostbusters world!
