    S14 Ep7: The Capuchin Catacombs and The Blinking Child
    Jun 28 2026
    Let us visit the long dead. Let us travel beneath the bustling streets where they dwell. We believe the 16th-century Capuchin Monks had the right idea! Don't bury your dead and forget them. Place them in tunnels and dress them up in their best duds, then invite everyone to visit them, forever! Tonight, we return to our stomping grounds: a beautifully dreary catacomb with 8,000 dead to gaze upon. One... is rumored to open and close her eyes. Join us below!

    S14 Ep5: Mermaids in Art!
    May 31 2026

    We have for you this evening a deluge of divine underwater divas! Mermaids are some of folklore and fantasy's most magical creatures, and for centuries, artists have been obsessed with bringing them to life on canvas. Our three, briny, beautiful paintings are: Ulysses and the Sirens, by Herbert James Draper. Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom, by Ilya Repin. And Contemplation or Promise, by Victor Nizovtsev. Don't forget your snorkel!

A must listen for weirdos like me 👻 One of the best podcasts that I have listened to (and I have listened to quite a few). Maybe Madame has put a spell on me... With the help of Mr Darling...

Whimsical, spooky, witty.
