Seance in the White House Fun fact: Mary Lincoln hosted many Seances in the Red Room of the White House after her son Willie died.
My favorite comment to date.
as it turns out, trying to write your own audio drama is about 30% character creation, 20% world building, and 50% coming up with a list of fucked up pizzas that monsters might enjoy. this is fun lol
it's simple really: october is for horror movies with highly stylized villains and iconic monsters because they make for good costumes. early november is for gothic horror because of the fog and decay etc. late november is for zombies (commentary on consumerist culture). december is for psychological horror and stuff where they're trapped in a room because that's when you have to go to holiday parties with your family.
I just wanted to tell you I started your podcast and I’m nervous to review but I wanted to tell you I absolutely adore your intro and outro it’s literally so catchy! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us! I’m hoping to catch up tonight (and I can do that because my college semester is done today) also hello to a fellow historian! : ) (I myself am studying World History particularly Middle Eastern history with an interest in Sumerian culture and History) okay enough of my rambling now keep up the amazing work! You are all so talented!
I appreciate your kind words! I hope the semester treated you well and that you have a great break! Fun fact, the Sumerian cuneform was actually the language I was going to reference in the show before going with Rongo Rongo. But they are a fascinating folk to be studying, I hope you love it. The intro/outro is by the AMAZING Sage G.C btw! They run some of their own podcasts as well, more TTRPG Actual Plays but the team is great and Sage is a GOD when it comes to sound design. You should check them out if that is your vibe, 20SidedStories.
Sometimes while I am writing for or editing an episode of the Dead West Podcast I get these images in my head and I have to get them out in some way or another. It normally comes out in some version of photo bashing or editing as I am still learning how to draw. This one is my edit of the American Gothic painting by Grant Wood. This came to mind as I was writing about the Davis Family in our first few episodes of the show.
'You have taken the job. That is why you are here.' The fIrst episode of Part Two of Remnant's debut season lends a fresH perspective on Sir, the Apprentice, and the First and Last Place they exist in. Is it enlightening? That really depends on your defInition of the word.

Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone's life story.
Remember this show is often TWFW (too weepy for work). Do check the content warnings if you're someone who often finds that helps.
I rely on your support to pay my bills. Making these shows is a delight and it's also a lot of hard work. Each episode of Remnants takes at least 35 hours to create. It's important to me that they remain accessible to as wide and audience as possible. You can help make all of this happen from £2pcm.
