Innocent Souls in the Hands of the Yellow King

We’ve reached the center of Carcosa. .. and as Rust would say... “This is the place.” Let’s finish this journey together."

In the season finale of the podcast, we explore the occult energy radiating from the stones of Louisiana to St. Augustine, Florida. Through sound clips and the photography of collaborative partner Zech Browning, we’ll feel the physical weight of these haunted spaces.

We'll cover The Jefferson Davis 8, the Four Phases of Supernatural Forensics, and ultimately conclude with Marty and Rust’s journey and redemption. We'll examine how their story serves as a parallel to this podcast and to our own lives... see you in the next era.

As we know time is a flat circle, but we soon see the circle beginning to tighten. Rust Cohle and Marty Hart are no longer men chasing a shadow—they are men haunted by the light of what they’ve finally seen. They are standing on the threshold of Carcosa, a place where the mythology of the 'Yellow King' bleeds into the Louisiana Bayou 

But in this episode of Innocent Souls, we aren’t just looking at the screen...we’re looking through the eyes of a man who lived in these shadows long before the cameras rolled. Let's dive deep into host Miami Nights career.

We cover episode 6 of True Detective season 1 called Haunted Houses. Through that, we discuss what happens to us when all that we believed in and was celebrated turned out to be a fallacy... Host MiamiNights discusses hard cases from his career and how they relate to the show and today's headlines. We pick up the pieces from when our moral compasses break through the alchemy of resiliency... as we stare at own reflection in the Mirror In The Dark

Today we’re looking at the mythology of the man who keeps haunting us... Reggie Ledoux. We weigh the costs between fame and success, Marty and Rust’s tactical proficiency, the masks we wear, and how our moral compasses break...ultimately discovering the shadows within ourselves. We dive deep into the psychology of Jung, the shadow self, all while continuing to unlock the duality of man.
