Our world is full of unknowable horrors; but that's okay, because horror is for the gays! This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with writer, illustrator, and voice actor Cat Blackard (@catblackard), who is best known as the showrunner of the horror-comedy audio drama, The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program. The TTRPG style audio drama is currently in its fourth season of stories that build on Lovecraft's work from a queer lens. We talk about the inherent queerness of horror as a genre as Cat and Leigh introduce Ellie to the world of cosmic horror. If you've ever thought Cthulhu would be a great buddy to get an iced coffee with, you're in the right place (Obviously he has all those tentacles so that he can hold all of his friends' iced coffees!). The reason cosmic horror can be so appealing to the queer community is that we tend to be more open to acknowledging the discrepancies between the reality of the world around us and our own personal realities. For centuries queer people have challenged the concepts and rules that society continually tries to force onto us. Historically in the horror realm that has led to monsters and villains being queer-coded, and to queer people recognizing ourselves in that “otherness”. We frequently say witches are for the gays, vampires are for the gays, etc., and this is because it's true. These creatures who live on the fringe of society, often at odds with society, and who are demonized for being different feel very relatable. When we get into body horror with werewolves and body transformations, the comparisons become even more obvious, looping in an inherent relation to the trans experience. Ultimately, horror is an attractive lens for queer creatives to showcase the power of being different and can provide a space for queer people to explore our identities and regain agency over our stories after centuries of being portrayed as the villains. In addition to talking about horror, we also talk about how table top role playing games are an attractive outlet for queer people to try out new facets of our identities and to learn more about ourselves through our characters. There is a good reason why so much of the LGBTQ+ community loves engaging in TTRPGs. These games provide a safe space for exploration and a way for our subconscious minds to make breakthroughs on our sexualities and gender identities through play. Giving our imaginations and subconscious minds the freedom to reveal hidden truths that help us better understand ourselves can be extremely powerful and transformative.

Hi there, I'm Cat Blackard - Showrunner and Director of The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program. Our series melds cosmic horror and black comedy in a unique and unholy fusion of live tabletop roleplaying and cinematic audio drama. Each season is a standalone tale where our cast viscerally lives the terror and uncovers uncanny mysteries. We create the story collaboratively through tabletop roleplaying and then we refine and build off of that incredible edge-of-your-seat energy with scripted content that expands the story. We layer in original score and spatial sound design - creating a true hybrid of improvised storytelling and scripted audio drama. Through our transformative take on Lovecraftian horror, humanity's hate and fear is the ultimate enemy and not every unknown being is a monster. What you're about to hear is the first episode of our latest series, “Night at Howling House”. The year is 1920... the last days of summer... Five kids dare to spend the night in a haunted estate. Will they survive to see the sunrise, or will they succumb to the hunger of Howling House? Thank you for listening.

We're thrilled to share with you the first episode of the Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program's latest campaign: Night at Howling House! It's called "The Dare" - the intro transcript is below, episode transcript is found on their website: https://www.cthulhumystery.com/howling-house-episode-1 If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe to their feed in your podcast app of choice! Episode summary; The lazy days of summer are at an end and school is about to begin... but for five Arkham youths, reading, writing, and 'rithmetic is the least of their worries. They're spending the night in a notorious abandoned house and local legends say no one has ever lived to tell the tale. Of course, no sane schoolkid would dare to trespass in Howling House, but twelve-year-old Tenderfoot, Tommy "Woods" Northwood, his precocious kid sister Chelsea, and a forlorn little boy known only as "Dirt" don't have a choice. Roger Simmons, the neighborhood bully, and his protégé, Joey Davenport, have the leverage and pugilistic prowess to make a very convincing argument. Will they survive to see the sunrise, or is there something sinister waiting for them in that decrepit domicile? The Moonbase Theta, Out Season 4 Prologue continues next week! -- INTRO (READ BY LEEMAN) (background music is Mr. Lonogan by Scott Buckley: https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/mr-lonogan/) Hello, friends! Leeman Kessler here, current Roger Bragado-Fischer and previous Howard Lovecraft impersonator. Both are why I've been asked to introduce this little swap we're doing! We'd like to bring you another show you might find interesting, even if the subject matter strays a good ways from the Moon ...  You're about to hear a sample episode of The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program, produced by and co-starring one of our Moonbase actors Cat Blackard. It's an enticingly dark horror-comedy series drawing on the RPG framework of the Call of Cthulhu system, but expanding on that world in unholy cinematic audio drama. Each season is a stand-alone adventure where our heroes risk their lives - and their sanity - facing untold terror and edge-of-your-seat adventure, but with just enough laughs and queer romance to keep an audience satisfied. The sound design is creepy, cinematic and immersive, and includes an original score to back each thrilling episode. You may not want to listen with the lights turned out - but you'll definitely want to listen.  You're gonna want to go back to each previous season of The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program, but what we're sharing today is actually the first, bloody-fresh, brand-new episode of the latest story, what they're calling, "Night at Howling House!" They're describing this as a 1920's Lovecraftian spin on an 80s thriller like Stephen King or The Goonies, and if that cosmic comic mix-up doesn't pull you in ... I'm not even gonna finish that sentence! Just give it a listen, add this stygian series to your podcast apps, and visit cthulhumystery dot com for more information.  Oh, and remember how I mentioned the reasons I was asked to do this introduction? Well, there's one more ... just a bit later this season, I enter the story as well, in what Cat called, "one of the most unnerving performances I've ever directed." How about that? [MANIACAL LAUGHTER] --- https://www.cthulhumystery.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'm Cap Blackard, show runner for The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program. Our series is an occult radio play of unknowable horror and black comedy. It's also an unholy marriage of improvised actual play and scripted audio drama. These live performances channel the visceral panic and humor of actually living through sanity-shredding nightmares. Then my team and I go back in, script new elements, bring in an expanded voice cast, create original score, and add cinematic sound design to summon this podcast to life. What's more, our series has a focus on elevating Lovecraftian horror beyond the authors' myopic view of the world. It's a historical drama that features prominent women, people of color, queer representation, and explores the unknowable in ways that Lovecraft's fears, prejudices, and small-mindedness couldn't fathom. This is episode 5 of our second series: "The Terrible Secret of Lot X". In it, you'll meet wealthy occultist, Estelle Thorpe. Her latest auction win has proven to be a Pandora's Box of horror. She and her partner in the unseen arts, Anjana, have assembled an unlikely crew of curiosity-seekers to solve the paranormal mysteries she's uncovered. There's Moses; mountain man turned renowned novelist, Cherry; a floozie who's more than she seems, Oswald; a hobo king, and Kenneth; a notorious gambler...
