This week my guest indie horror writer David Washburn told me how he got into horror far too young, the really cool story of how he got into writing horror literature, and what his favorite subgenre of horror is, even though it’s not really a subgenre yet, I don’t think.

In this week’s episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Sara and Vince from the YouTube channel Dread Alert Media. We talked about why they started their channel, what purpose horror serves in their lives, and who their favorite horror YouTubers are. They also have a baby and I asked them about how they’re going to introduce her to horror when it’s time so if you’re a parent, maybe that’s useful to you too!

In this week’s episode, I talked with chef Jay Reifel about how he got his start in Hollywood where he wrote space action and horror movies, and then pivoted to being a chef in New York City. Recently he released a book called “A History of the World in 10 Dinners” and we talked about a couple of the most horrifying ones including one called The Dinner From Hell and one that includes a mythic creature from the Tudor era. Jay told me how he fell in love with horror and why he appreciates movies like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Cannibal Holocaust.
