Apologies for the popping in the audio - lost the windshield for the mic, and no press area this year, so I was not sure how close to the mic I needed to be, but I tried to clean it as best as I can.

Mike and Chris sit back to explore... Beast: the Primordial?!

In the World of Darkness segment, Mike discusses Wraith's Risen as portrayed in Hunter: the Walking Dead. Chris then presents an enthralling secret frequency on poltergeist activity in his local Yorkshire.

Corrections:
Sheffield Gothic, the organising group, is based in the School of English (not media) and is the Postgrad arm of the Centre for the History of the Gothic. The Centre was founded five years ago to acknowledge Sheffield staff and students contributions to the field of Gothic studies over the years and GTG was part of the postgrad led ongoing project Reimagining the Gothic (https://reimagininggothic.com).
What is this, some sort of joke? Mike and Chigg present a humorous episode on H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, exploring four of his short stories in an extra long secret frequency. This episode also includes some super out-dated news from 2017, blasphemous rumors, and a compelling analysis of Boston game stores.
Despite high power government jamming, reducing audio quality to one quarter, Mike and Chigg start up the Secret Frequency once more. They diseminate critical storyteller information about pirate radio stations, historical cases of broadcast signal intrusion, and finally, the Toynbee Tiles. Stay tuned for Part 1, coming soon.
Do not adjust your podcatcher. We control the vertical, and the horizontal. And The Messengers definitely aren't angels.
