Horror Hill: A Horror Anthology and Scary Stories Series Podcast
In this unsettling episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody presents a darkly decadent tale from Ambrose Ibsen—one that begins with ambition and appetite, and ends somewhere far more disturbing. When a struggling chef with dreams of greatness crosses paths with a seasoned mushroom hunter guarding his best-kept secrets, an unexpected discovery promises to change everything. Darkly atmospheric and disturbingly visceral, this episode explores temptation, ambition, and the terrifying cost of indulging in something you don't fully understand. Pull up a chair. Dinner is served.

As always, the Coode Street Motel Six bestrides continents, so after briefly comparing notes on the weather in Perth and Chicago, Gary and Jonathan get down to it and chat about the subjects of the moment. How do you talk about books and what was the weather like? The importance of settings in fiction, especially regarding climate and weather, and the broader question of whether readers can ever fully appreciate a setting dissimilar to their own and how book reviewers might take this into account. This includes a brief discussion of translated fiction—a welcome new category in this year's Locus Awards. Anthologies and activism The significance of advocacy anthologies that may reflect anything from feminist SF (as in Vonda McIntyre and Susan Janice Anderson's Aurora: Beyond Equality (1976) to antiwar works to promoting the New Wave. Books we're looking forward to In a new segment, we list a few books that we are looking forward to that will be published in the coming weeks. Jonathan talks about A.G. Slatter's A Forest, Darkly, Adrian Tchaikovsky's Pretenders to the Throne of God, Paul McAuley's Loss Protocol, and A.D Sui's debut The Iron Garden Sutra. Gary's list includes Rebecca Roanhorse's River of Bones and Other Stories and The Best of Adrian Tchaikovsky, a novella by Ian McDonald, Boy, with Accidental Dinosaur, and nonfiction study of SFF by Ada Palmer and Jo Walton, Trace Elements: Conversations on the Project of Science Fiction and Fantasy.
In this chilling episode, humanity clings to survival in the shadow of a catastrophe that refused to stay buried. Safe havens come with conditions. Miracles arrive with strings attached. And the line between protector and predator grows thinner with every passing day. As civilization flickers in the ruins, listeners are invited into a world where salvation wears a reassuring smile, science promises second chances, and hope may be the most dangerous temptation of all. What does it mean to be human when memory can be erased, bodies rebuilt, and the future engineered by unseen hands? Darkly philosophical, quietly devastating, and steeped in moral unease, this episode asks a single, unsettling question: If something offers to save us—should we ever stop to ask why?

This week, we open the Starfleet personnel file for Admiral Jonathan Archer, a detailed biographical memo written by Star Trek: Enterprise writer/producer Michael Sussman for the fan-favorite episode "In a Mirror, Darkly." It was only meant to be a quick background graphic, so how did it evolve into a fan-favorite bit of canon? And why did Mike sneak "President of the UFP" into the character's résumé without telling the showrunners? Larry welcomes Mike to The Trek Files to revisit the creation of this in-universe bio, share behind-the-scenes memories from the final days of Enterprise, and unpack how a throwaway idea from 2005 became the seed of a new series pitch, Star Trek: United, which imagines Archer in his presidential years. From secret nods to The West Wing, to collaborating with Andy Probert on "Space Force One," this episode is a crash course in how Trek canon can be built with equal parts creativity and chaos.

Suddenly, on many fronts at once, President Trump and his allies are demonstrating how central sheer sadism is to his agenda—and to how MAGA conducts politics. Trump just unleashed a hateful rant to the media about Somali immigrants to set the stage for a coming campaign to arrest them en masse. Meanwhile, MAGA excitement over the Caribbean Sea bombings is spiking: Pete Hegseth tweeted out a deeply sadistic cartoon celebrating these extrajudicial killings. A prominent MAGA personality just declared her desire to see bombing victims “bleed out.” And MAGA figures are raging at reporters who broke the story of the follow-up strike killing two men in the water. We talked to Paul Waldman, who has a good piece on his Cross Section Substack about all of this. We discuss the centrality of hate and bloodlust to Trump-MAGA politics, how the administration's social media strategy utilizes sadistic imagery, and why the public backlash to all these depravities is heartening.

In this explosive segment, the hosts unravel a stunning pattern of U.S. taxpayer money flowing to America's adversaries. They recount how USAID funneled nearly a billion dollars to Hamas charities without proper oversight, supported Afghan poppy farms that funded Taliban IEDs, and even shipped over 11,000 virus samples to China's Wuhan lab—fueling bioweapons research under the guise of global health. The conversation dives into bipartisan hypocrisy, the role of NGOs and universities in enabling threats, and the lack of accountability for what they call treasonous actions. Darkly humorous and sharply critical, this broadcast exposes how America's foreign aid apparatus became, in their words, “one of the most evil organizations on the planet.”

Death's not usually a topic for a comedy show, but Shoshana McCallum's managed to turn it into something darkly funny and compassionate.
For our season 6 premiere, we are returning to, unveiling, and dissecting the hidden wonders of a film that will forever shake our mental foundations for all time. That film is the 1995 cinematic force known as The Passion of Darkly Noon, written and directed by Phillip Ridley... starring Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd, and Viggo Mortensen. This episode is a deepm dive, and that is a severe understatement, so it is highly reccommended for the viewer to listen having seen - scratch that, having EXPERIENCED The Passion of Darkly Noon.* *(Well, there IS self harm with sharp objects but Brendan Fraser is weird about it and it's suppposed to be artsy not shocky but it's still grotesque I dunno it's rated R okay? The dog does die too. And old lady offs herself but she's weird about that too?? Again, discretion, use it.)
One manifesto pledge of the incoming Labour government was to provide over 3000 new nurseries in empty school classrooms in England. The first 300 of these will open by September and offer an average of 20 places each. Nuala McGovern speaks to Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State for Education, about this announcement and also about the current state of provision and funding for children with special education needs.Darkly funny, unsettling, and razor-sharp, I Hope You're Happy by Marni Appleton is a haunting collection of short stories exploring modern womanhood through the lens of horror and satire. From viral photos to eerie performances in dead-end jobs, these stories capture the weirdness of millennial life... where power struggles, fleeting connections, and social media anxieties collide with the surreal. Marni joined Nuala to discuss the themes and her inspiration.A new exhibition called Curious Cures at Cambridge University Library explores medicine in the medieval era. Dozens of unique medical manuscripts, recipes, cures and guides to healthy living from the 14th and 15th centuries are on display. To discuss women's role in medieval medicine, Nuala was joined by the exhibition's curator and medieval manuscripts specialist, Dr James Freeman.The Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood believes “prison isn't working” for women and wants to reduce the number of female prisoners. Nuala speaks to Scarlett Roberts, a former prisoner and is now a Churchill Fellow and to former prisoner Jules Rowan, who co-hosts the Life After Prison podcast. They are joined by former prisoner officer and former Head of Security and Operations at HMP Wormwood Scrubs Vanessa Frake-Harris, and by prison Intelligence Analyst, author of Five by Five, Claire Wilson and Lucy Russell, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at the charity Women in Prison. The Neonatal Care Act starts tomorrow. It allows employed parents to take up to 12 weeks of additional leave on top of their maternity or paternity leave if their newborn baby stays in hospital for more than seven days. We hear from Catriona Ogilvy, founder of premature baby charity The Smallest Things, who has been fighting for this law change for 10 years.Echo vom Eierstock is Switzerland's first feminist yodelling choir. Elena Kaiser is their founder and joined Nuala to discuss where her love of yodelling came from, and why she is challenging the make-up of traditional yodelling choirs and songs.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Emma Pearce

Eid is a celebration of strength and gratitude where Muslims all around the world come together to mark the end of Ramadan. Nuala McGovern is joined by one of the first Muslim headteachers in the country, Bushra Nasir, author & podcaster Shelina Janmohamed and Executive Board Member at the Muslim Council of Wales Jamilla Hekmoun to discuss what roles they have on this day, from acting as the ‘memory markers' to passing down the rich traditions that keep religious stories and practices alive as well as some of the pressures women can feel at this time. Women across England will be able to get the morning after pill for free from pharmacies from later this year, the Government has said. Emergency contraception is already free of charge from most GPs and sexual health clinics. But ministers say getting it in pharmacies is a "postcode lottery" - with some councils funding free prescriptions, while elsewhere women can pay up to £30. Nuala discusses the plan with Dr Janet Barter, President, Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare.The Government says it's going to create 10,000 new school places for children with special educational needs and disabilities in mainstream schools. Ministers are saying £740 million will be allocated in England over the next three years. It comes as a new report is launched at Westminster today which warns that more and more children are 'losing learning' because their needs are not being met, or they are being suspended or excluded. Nuala discusses the issues and possible solutions with the report's author, Ellie Harris, Aaliyah, a young woman who couldn't attend school due to SEND, and the actress and mother Anna Maxwell Martin and Louise McLeod, the Executive Headteacher of two primary schools in Norfolk.Darkly funny, unsettling, and razor-sharp, I Hope You're Happy by Marni Appleton is a haunting collection of short stories exploring modern womanhood through the lens of horror and satire.
