Welcome boils and ghouls, to the first episode of horrorpunk, the premiere podcast for information science and materialist analysis of horror movies starring your favorite co-ghosts from the Horror Vanguard podcast, Ash and Jon. We talk about loss and how we deal with it, and the sometimes bad habits that creates for us in seeking explanations. We also talk (well, glance over) how Irish Americans continue to appropriate Celtic nationalism for no real reason. And we answer the question: who’s gonna pay this dang ghost?
