On this spine-tingling and story-rich edition of Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler sit down with audio creators and podcast pioneers Chad Fifer and Chris Lackey, the duo behind Strange Studies of Strange Stories—a show where classic genre fiction meets immersive sound design and smart conversation.

Chad and Chris first made waves with The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast, diving deep into the mythos and madness of Lovecraft’s work. Now, with hundreds of episodes under their belt and a cult following to match, they continue the tradition of exploring weird, suspenseful, and thought-provoking stories from some of literature’s most intriguing minds.

In this episode, the pair discuss:

The evolution of their podcasting journey from Lovecraft to a wider world of strange fiction

How they bring old stories to life through voice acting, sound effects, and original music

The balance between humor, horror, and literary analysis

Why genre fiction—from cosmic horror to detective tales—still resonates today

What it's like to build a passionate community through Patreon and years of creative output

Whether you’re a longtime listener or new to their eerie universe, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the art of sonic storytelling and the power of strange tales to connect, entertain, and unsettle.
