Podcasts about Gothic

What if the most extraordinary Gothic tale wasn't fiction at all?Born into wealth in New Orleans, Micaëla de Pontalba would endure betrayal, confinement, violence and an attempt on her life — yet somehow emerge unbroken, reshaping not only her own destiny but the city she called home.Her story moves between New Orleans and an ancestral French château, through murder, family secrets and remarkable survival — and, even after death, the ghosts surrounding Micaëla and those places refuse to disappear.This week, we step into the extraordinary true story of the Baroness de Pontalba, where documented history, Gothic darkness and the supernatural become almost impossible to separate.My Special Guests are Dr Rory O'Neill Schmitt and Dr. Rosary O'Neill:   Dr Rory O'Neill Schmitt is the author of six books exploring history, culture, art, and the enduring mysteries of place. Much of her work is rooted in New Orleans, where the past is never entirely past: its houses, streets, legends, and larger-than-life figures continue to inspire stories of hauntings and restless memory.Dr Rosary O'Neill, PHD, is a senior Fulbright drama specialist and winner of nine Fulbright awards, including five to study Edgar Degas in Paris. She has published nineteen plays with Concord Publishers (Samuel French Publishers), including Degas in New Orleans and Marilyn/God, and has published six play/screenplay anthologies, three novels and seven books. Dr O'Neill is a professor emerita at Loyola University, New Orleans, and a member of the Playwrights Division of the Actors' Studio in New York City. The founder of Southern Rep Theatre, New Orleans, she has received invitations to and sponsorships from American Embassies in England, France, Georgia, Russia and Hungary. She has been a visiting scholar at Cornell University, University of Cologne, University of Bonn, and the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris.

Today Erin Craig returns to the show to chat about “Theater in Gothic.” Erin's new book, OUR STRANGE DUET, is a retelling of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Erin does make a point of noting that this is not a retelling of the novel. Rather, it's a tie-in to the 40th anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical, so our theme is tied to both the theatrical story and the theatrical production. I hope you enjoy our book recommendations! All links and show notes available at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/

Send us Fan MailThis week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are bending the rules of time with Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker which is a dark, eerie story that connects two people living hundreds of years apart.In the present day, Lee Turner flees to his father's home in Japan after becoming convinced that he murdered his college roommate… except he has no memory of what he did with the body. Then there's Sen, a young samurai living in 1877 under the brutal expectations of her father. Somehow, the two discover that a closet in their respective rooms allows them to see and communicate with each other across time and what begins as suspicion slowly turns into a bond neither of them expected. With gothic horror, time-bending supernatural weirdness, morally complicated characters, grief, samurai history, family trauma, and a friendship that somehow becomes the heart of it all, Japanese Gothic ended up being a major spooky-season win. Can a mysterious closet connecting two lonely people separated by more than a century actually fix your life? Stay tuned to find out.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Australia has a well-deserved reputation for being larger than life. It's the only country in the world that covers an entire continent, and it's home to hundreds of thousands of native animals and plants. (We're looking at you, platypuses and koalas!) The snapshots of Australia in your imagination (perhaps from watching the ‘80s movie 'Crocodile Dundee' at an impressionable age)? They're pretty accurate. Sparkly beaches, surfers, and snorkeling. Red rocks and scrubby brush. The Sydney Opera House. Jeeps in the Outback. And yes, many Australians do say ‘G'day mate.' (Though not ‘throw a shrimp on the barbie.') Australia is home to two libraries on the list of the world's ten most beautiful, in Melbourne and Adelaide. But if you really want to get to know the land down under, head outside. There are 516 national parks, excursions led by Aboriginal guides, rainforest and desert, plus 22,000 miles of coastline for all manner of splashing. In this episode, we learn the true story of a war fought against an animal opponent and meet the architect of the Sydney Opera House. We daydream about traversing the continent in style aboard the glamorous Ghan Luxury Train. Then we recommend five great books that took us to Australia on the page: a Gothic coming-of-age story set on a Queensland estate, a gripping murder mystery from a beloved Aussie author, a science book that delves into the cute-and-weird of the platypus and other Australian mammals, a compelling memoir that defies categorization, and a dream-like classic set at a mystical rock formation. The White Earth by Andrew McGahan The Dry by Jane Harper Platypus Matters by Jack Ashby Question 7 by Richard Flanagan Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

Eight Halloween horror stories lead down a dark country road in this nearly five-hour Weekly Spooky horror story compilation. The Long Road to the Haunted Hayride packs scary Halloween stories about haunted hayrides, corn mazes, scarecrows, witches, pumpkin monsters, ghosts, folk horror, Southern Gothic revenge, and rural slasher terror. Presented in story order, this Halloween fiction anthology moves from swamp-born pumpkin folklore and a child-eating Halloween legend into witchcraft, harvest killers, haunted cornfields, restless ghosts, bayou vengeance, and a final haunted attraction where one broken rule turns manufactured fear into the real thing. Inside this Halloween horror compilation: "Barley and Clyde Meet the Pumpkin King" by David O'Hanlon - Two Arkansas cousins disturb the wrong swamp altar on Halloween and carry the consequences straight into a children's hayride. Soon the corn is crawling with pumpkin-headed imps, hellfire scarecrows, and a towering Pumpkin King with an appetite for souls."The Grinner" by Henrique Couto - Halloween-obsessed Robbie wants to impress the older kids by stealing the head of a creepy scarecrow-like dummy outside an old funeral home. The bowl says to take only one piece of candy, and Robbie is about to learn why some Halloween rules are written in blood."The Piano Witch" by Charles Campbell - A young girl begins piano lessons in an old estate where a witch seems trapped inside the wood of an antique grand piano. As the music takes hold, a hidden murder and an old hunger turn one lesson into a supernatural reckoning."Sickle Jack, the Harvester of Souls" by Joe Solmo - On Halloween in 1980s suburbia, four boys follow a flirtatious scavenger hunt through playgrounds, alleys, cemeteries, and cornfields. A pumpkin-headed scarecrow with a sickle follows the clues too, and the harvest needs somebody new to wear the face."Never Enter the Old Corn Maze on Halloween" by William Rayne - A Halloween party dares a teenager, his brother, and two friends to spend one hour inside a legendary corn maze. What begins as an elaborate scare becomes a living labyrinth with its own pumpkin-faced master - and a price for anyone who wants to leave."Lucien Greyshire and the Ghost from Applebee's" by L.F. Falconer - A scarred Halloween impresario who can see the dead recruits a mischievous teenage poltergeist from an Applebee's for a very unusual job. Haunted entertainment, unresolved deaths, and Lucien's private sense of justice make this one of the strangest employment offers in the afterlife."Burn on the Bayou" by L.F. Falconer - Lucien Greyshire brings his Halloween business to an abandoned Louisiana manor surrounded by cypress, old graves, and bayou darkness. A lavish haunted-house party becomes a Southern Gothic contract where ghosts are real, the cistern is occupied, and the host always delivers."Halloween Haunted Hayride" by Rob Fields - A group of friends boards the Pendleton Haunted Hayride for animatronic scares, farm-country darkness, and a Halloween rush. The driver gives them one rule - stay on the wagon. Once they break it, axes swing, bodies fall, and somebody becomes very serious about enforcing the rules.For listeners searching for Halloween horror stories, scary stories for Halloween, haunted hayride horror, corn maze horror, scarecrow horror, witch stories, ghost stories, folk horror, rural horror, Southern Gothic horror, long horror stories, or a Halloween audiobook-style fiction anthology, this collection is built for spooky-season binge listening.

Death was a major part of everyday life in the Victorian era, and people developed elaborate ways to mourn, remember, and preserve the dead. In this episode of Lunatics Radio Hour, we explore the history of Victorian funerary traditions and the social and historical circumstances that shaped them in Britain and the United States. We look at Victorian mourning customs, postmortem photography, mourning jewelry, human hair art, funeral rituals, embalming, funeral biscuits, mourning stationery, death masks, and Victorian cemeteries. We also examine how the American Civil War helped popularize embalming in the United States and how Queen Victoria's mourning for Prince Albert influenced Victorian mourning culture. Along the way, we separate historical practices from later myths, including the popular story of Victorian "tear catchers." Finally, we trace these traditions into Gothic literature and horror movies, looking at how Victorian cemeteries, mourning clothes, old photographs, preserved bodies, and memorial objects became part of the visual language of supernatural horror. Because the Victorians weren't trying to make death scary. They were trying to find ways to live with it. Follow us on social media @ TheLunaticsProject. Get Lunatics Merch here.

Directed by Ridley Scott and adapted from Peter Heller's acclaimed novel, The Dog Stars takes us to a desolate Colorado in 2035. Jacob Elordi stars as Hig, a civilian pilot living on an abandoned airstrip with a survivalist ex-Marine named Bangley (Josh Brolin). When a stray radio transmission sparks a glimmer of hope beyond their fenced-in reality, Hig risks everything to fly out into the unknown. Fun Flix Fact: Ridley Scott shot much of the film's sweeping exterior sequences on location in Italy, cleverly using the Mediterranean landscape to stand in for the rugged American West. Fun Flix Fact: The canine companion Jasper was played by multiple Belgian Malinois trained specifically to match Jacob Elordi's easygoing cockpit demeanor during the intimate flight scenes. The supernatural horror juggernaut returns with its sixth installment, directed by Jacob Chase. Insidious: Into The Further follows a young mother named Gemma (Amelia Eve) who discovers a terrifying new facet of the purgatorial realm: she doesn't just enter The Further—she has the terrifying ability to bring its malevolent spirits back into the living world. Franchise staple Lin Shaye also returns to guide the terror. Fun Flix Fact: To achieve the signature, eerie look of The Further without relying entirely on digital effects, the production crew built rotating, inverted hallway sets that disoriented the actors in real-time. Fun Flix Fact: The film's primary antagonist, a cult leader trapped in the astral plane, was designed using physical prosthetics that took over six hours to apply daily. Action icon Jason Statham is back in top form in Mutiny, directed by Jean-François Richet. Statham plays Cole Reed, a private security bodyguard who is framed for the assassination of his billionaire employer. Forced to go on the run, Reed stows away on a massive cargo ship, only to stumble upon a vast human trafficking conspiracy that he has to dismantle one punch at a time. Fun Flix Fact: Jason Statham performed the vast majority of his own stunt work during the intense, cramped container-ship brawl scenes, collaborating closely with director Jean-François Richet to keep the choreography raw and grounded. Fun Flix Fact: The production utilized a decommissioned cargo vessel docked in Southeast Asia, giving the film an authentic, claustrophobic industrial grit that soundstages simply cannot replicate. To mark a decade and a half since Steven Soderbergh's chillingly prescient medical thriller hit cinemas, we are looking back at Contagion (2011). From its all-star ensemble cast to its hyper-realistic depiction of a global pandemic spreading through fomites and panic, it remains one of the smartest studio thrillers ever made. For our Hidden Gem this week, we are shining a light on Jane Schoenbrun's mind-bending, surrealist slasher Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Starring Hannah Einbinder as a young filmmaker hired to reboot a flagging slasher franchise, the film spirals into a hypnotic, queer Gothic romance when she becomes obsessed with finding the franchise's reclusive original "final girl," played brilliantly by Gillian Anderson. And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

What's a W.H.40.K? — An introduction to Warhammer 40,000's immense science-fantasy horror setting, where a corpse-worshipping human empire fights aliens, daemons, ancient machines, and its own terrible history. 1. The Imperium of Man — From Dune, Foundation, Roman decline, and medieval Christendom comes a galactic empire where the future is not progress but a dead civilization kept moving through faith, fear, and paperwork. 2. Space Marines — The Imperium's iconic super-soldiers combine power armor and military science fiction with crusading knights, Spartan myth, warrior monks, kidnapped children, and the seductive imagery of authoritarian heroism. 3. Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard — Drawing from trench literature, British war comics, Kipling, and future-war fiction, the Guard are ordinary people sent into cosmic horror with little more than courage and a lasgun. 4. Adeptus Mechanicus — Frankenstein, Metropolis, invention pulp, and lost-technology stories meet in a machine cult where science survives, understanding does not, and repairs are performed like religious rites. 5. Adepta Sororitas / Ecclesiarchy — Gothic convents, martyr legends, Joan of Arc, witchfinders, and Hammer horror become armored saints who turn faith, suffering, and flamethrowers into instruments of Imperial power. 6. The Inquisition — The occult detective and witch-hunter become one terrifying Imperial investigator who may uncover the truth only to burn every witness, building, and planet touched by it. 7. Rogue Traders — Planetary romance, colonial adventure fiction, space opera, pirates, and merchant princes combine in explorers licensed to discover strange worlds, trade with them, rob them, or claim them for the Imperium. 8. Adeptus Custodes — Ancient palace guards, sacred kingship, Achilles, and Gilgamesh stand behind the Emperor's golden companions: philosopher-warriors created to protect a god who is already dead. 9. Adeptus Titanicus / Titan Legions — Giant robots descend from Martian tripods, dreadnoughts, siege engines, golems, and war gods to become walking cathedrals capable of teaching entire cities to kneel. 10. The Horus Heresy — Warhammer's great betrayal myth draws from Lucifer, Cain and Abel, Arthur and Mordred, Roman civil wars, and fallen-hero stories to explain how the Emperor's favored son broke the human future from within. 11. Chaos Space Marines — Fallen angels, Byronic rebels, cursed champions, and Milton's Satan become immortal super-soldiers whose genuine grievances have curdled into rebellion, bitterness, and damnation. 12. Chaos Daemons — Medieval demonology, grimoires, occult pulp, weird fiction, and nightmare cinema become psychic entities made from mortal rage, despair, ambition, obsession, and desire. 13. World Eaters / Khorne — Sword-and-sorcery pulp, berserker sagas, gladiator spectacle, and revenge tragedy create warriors who reduce every political, emotional, and moral problem to an axe blow. 14. Death Guard / Nurgle — Plague literature, danse macabre, zombie films, body horror, and graveyard humor meet in rotting soldiers who have surrendered to decay and discovered that the joke is that they are happy. 15. Thousand Sons / Tzeentch — Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, mummy fiction, occult scholarship, and forbidden-book stories become sorcerers who sought perfect knowledge only to discover that the book was reading them back. 16. Emperor's Children / Slaanesh — Decadent literature, Gothic aristocrats, glam horror, cursed art, and The Picture of Dorian Gray shape warriors who pursued perfection until beauty became an endlessly hungry mouth. 17. Chaos / Imperial Knights — Haunted castles, ancestral armor, chivalric romance, feudal bloodlines, and giant-robot fiction become seventy-foot war machines carrying generations of family pride, duty, resentment, and curses. 18. Orks — Fantasy orcs, Mad Max, British hooligan comedy, fungus horror, and invasive-species stories combine in a joyful alien ecosystem where killing the enemy may only plant the next war. 19. Tyranids — Alien, The Thing, bug-war fiction, parasite horror, and cosmic naturalism become an extragalactic appetite that does not hate humanity because hatred would interfere with digestion. 20. Genestealer Cults — Body-snatcher films, changeling folklore, secret-cult pulp, family curses, and invasion paranoia create an alien uprising that begins not in the sky but at the dinner table. 21. Necrons — Killer robots and artificial-labor nightmares combine with mummy curses, tomb kings, and cursed archaeology to produce immortal metal dynasties waking from the grave with better weapons than the living. 22. Aeldari / Drukhari — Elves, cruel fairy courts, dying-earth fiction, lost civilizations, decadent aristocrats, and vampire cities become two responses to apocalypse: mourning the fall or continuing the party forever. 23. Night Lords — Batman, slashers, serial killers, Gothic villains, Grand Guignol, and public-execution culture become terror troops who transform punishment into theatre and fear into government. 24. T'au Empire and Leagues of Votann — The T'au combine utopian science fiction, anime mecha, and benevolent imperialism, while the Votann draw from mining frontiers, company towns, clone labor, ancestor cults, and corporate survivalism. 25. [REDACTED] — ▀▀▀ thrillers, ▀▀▀▀▀▀ societies, ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀, invasion ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀, Dr. ▀▀▀▀▀▀, and ▀▀▀▀▀ mythology become a Space Marine legion so committed to ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ that truth itself is rendered operationally ▀▀▀▀▀▀.     Audio Book Stories   01 Introduction.

Seeking three quiet months away from New York City, Jeremy retreats to an isolated farm in rural New Jersey with little more than a roomful of books and plans to spend the summer immersed in the classics of Gothic literature. At first, Poroth Farm seems ideal. His landlords, Sarr and Deborah Poroth, are reserved but welcoming, the countryside is peaceful, and Jeremy finally has all the solitude he could want. Then the natural rhythms of the farm begin to falter. Something strange moves through the woods. Animals behave in ways Jeremy cannot explain. Familiar creatures become suddenly unfamiliar. And as the summer wears on, Jeremy's comfortable skepticism is tested by a mounting series of incidents that seem increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidence, superstition, or imagination. Surrounded by the very horror stories he came there to study, Jeremy begins to confront a far more disturbing possibility: perhaps the darkest ideas preserved in old books were never entirely fictional.T.E.D. Klein's “The Events at Poroth Farm” is a masterful slow burn of isolation, paranoia, cosmic dread, and creeping transformation, now presented as a standalone audio horror release and performed by Erik Peabody, longtime host of Horror Hill.Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

In 533, a twenty-eight-year-old general named Belisarius sailed from Constantinople with 15,000 men to reconquer North Africa from the Vandals, a kingdom that had held it for nearly a century since the sack of Rome. The last time the Eastern Empire had attempted the crossing, the entire fleet had been destroyed. Belisarius landed, defeated the Vandal king in two battles, entered Carthage without a fight, sat on the enemy's throne, and was awarded the first proper Roman triumph in five hundred years. Then Justinian sent him to retake Italy with 7,000 troops. He took Sicily, took Naples, took Rome, and held it against a Gothic army that outnumbered him roughly twenty-to-one for over a year, personally leading cavalry charges from the crumbling Aurelian Walls. When the Goths offered him the crown of the Western Roman Empire, he pretended to accept, walked into Ravenna, arrested the Gothic leadership, and shipped them to Constantinople. Italy was Roman again. And Justinian, terrified of the man who had made it possible, recalled him, stripped his command, and never gave him the resources to finish anything again. Today's guests are Matteo and Matthew Storm, the father-and-son hosts of Lost Roman Heroes, who devoted a five-part series and over five hours to the life of Belisarius. We discuss why a man who did more than anyone since Aurelian to restore the Roman Empire has been almost completely erased from popular memory, how the Plague of Justinian and a volcanic winter destroyed everything Belisarius had reconquered, why Procopius wrote two radically contradictory portraits of the same man, and whether Antonina was the most unfairly maligned woman in Byzantine history or one of its most destructive. We look at why Justinian gave the eunuch Narses everything he never gave Belisarius and what that reveals about how empires manage the men they depend on, why the legend of Belisarius blinded and begging in the streets has persisted for fifteen hundred years despite being almost certainly false, and whether a civilization truly dies when its last true believer falls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Randall's path to Kosmogonia began in 1973, when an architectural magazine called Shelter introduced him to sacred geometry while documenting a geodesic dome he and his brother Rhoen built in rural Minnesota. What started as a study of how Greek, Egyptian, and Gothic builders solved the problem of optimal interaction with the environment became a fifty-year obsession, and a parallel career as a homeschool tutor in mathematics, geometry, and geology gave him direct insight into education outside what he calls the industrial indoctrination model. The course he is launching covers practical applications most people never connect to geometry: a dodecahedron's internal angles total 6,480 degrees, exactly one quarter of the roughly 26,000-year precessional cycle of the Earth's axis, a numerical correlation between spatial and temporal patterns that Randall argues was understood by ancient cultures and is foundational to his curriculum.https://kosmogoniauniversity.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Every culture creates monsters, but what exactly are we trying to warn ourselves about?Lacey sits down with Dr. Emily Zarka - Host of the PBS series ‘Monstrum' to explore folklore, horror and the creatures hiding inside our oldest stories. From oral traditions and Gothic literature to television, movies and modern popular culture, Emily examines how monsters change shape while the human fears behind them remain strangely familiar. This is a conversation about what monsters represent, why folklore survives and what happens when the creature in the story tells us more about humanity than humanity may be comfortable admitting.Turns out the monster under the bed may have been making a point.Prefer to watch and listen without adverts?

Kindly commissioned and sponsored by Gavin Critchley for his friend Victoria, a lover of dolls' houses... A collector buys a Gothic dolls' house for sixty guineas — a museum piece, the dealer calls it, and means it more than he says. Six feet of Strawberry Hill in miniature: a chapel, a stable block, a drawer of tiny embroidered clothes. He spends a happy evening setting its rooms in order, delighted with his find. There's no clock within earshot — none on the stair, none in the stable, none in the distant church tower. And yet, at one in the morning, a bell tolls once. "The Haunted Dolls' House" was first published in the Empire Review in February 1923, and later collected in M. R. James's A Warning to the Curious. M. R. James (1862–1936) was Provost of Eton and King's College, Cambridge, and a distinguished medieval scholar — antiquarian interests that shaped his ghost stories as much as his day job.

CUJO is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience, we recommend signing up for a paid subscription. Paid subscribers also get access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and The Weather Report, a monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. Catch last month's episode, where we dig into the rise of “waiting-in-line culture” in cities across America, the Spotify vs. Kalshi saga, Lebron James' post-factual free agency, and more.Hi pals. While we're off on vacation this week, we decided to do something a little different for this week's show.If you checked out last month's Weather Report, you probably heard that Andrea recently had the opportunity to participate in a multimedia installation at LA's National Museum of the Aftermath called “California Gothic” that dives into the question of what Los Angeles, and the lives of those who live there, will look like after collapse.The project is the brainchild of Gina Delvac and James Kim, two of the most creative minds working in audio storytelling today. For “California Gothic,” they commissioned audio creators, journalists, writers, and artists (Andrea included) to imagine a future where their favorite place in Los Angeles no longer exists, and then to create a speculative audio story about it — short prose, an intimate fiction scene, an ambient piece, or something surreal that doesn't fall into any of those. They ask: What memories reverberate from this place? What memories can still be heard? What have we lost?While “California Gothic” was (at the time anyway) a one-off event, we were so moved by the vision and creativity of these experimental pieces – which range from sound collages, to surrealist scifi, to letters from future selves – that we thought it would make for a sweet summer treat to feature them here on CUJO.Today's episode features six of those pieces, each imagining a different place in Los Angeles as remembered in a post-apocalyptic future. But first, Gina joins us for a quick chat about the meaning of “California Gothic,” why spoken audio should be recognized as an art form as much as a commercial output, and what's in store for the project beyond “California Gothic.” If you have ideas or want to get involved with future iterations of the project, reach out to Gina at gdelvac@gmail.com California GothicCuratorsGina Delvac is a native Angelena and podcast showrunner, audio creator, and curator.

Today Del Sandeen returns to the show to chat about one of my favorite themes, “Sisters in Gothic.” Del's' new book, THESE WALLS REMEMBER, is the perfect tie-in to this topic, and it was really interesting that I found someone else who is an only child that shared my interest and enthusiasm for sisters as a character type in Gothic and Horror. There is a lot of range in the books we recommend. All links and show notes available at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/

Send us Fan MailWhat can the great Gothic cathedrals teach us about God, beauty, evangelization, and our own call to holiness?In this episode of Gotta Be Saints, I sit down with Branden Stanley of Spirit Juice Studios, co-director of Bishop Robert Barron's new documentary, Heaven in Stone and Glass. Rather than simply talking about how the film was made, we dive into the deeper ideas behind it: why beauty has the power to stop us in our tracks, how sacred architecture can draw people toward God, and why the Church should never underestimate beauty as a means of evangelization.Branden shares his experience filming some of France's greatest Gothic cathedrals, what these buildings communicate about God, and why beauty, alongside truth and goodness, remains essential to the Church's mission. We also discuss what ordinary Catholics can learn from the people who built these cathedrals and how each of us can create something beautiful with our own lives that points others toward Christ.Heaven in Stone and GlassBishop Robert Barron's Heaven in Stone and Glass takes viewers on a cinematic pilgrimage through five of France's great Gothic cathedrals and explores the spiritual and theological truths expressed through their architecture.The film will be in theaters nationwide on September 20 and 23, 2026.Learn more and get tickets for Heaven in Stone and GlassAbout Branden StanleyBranden Stanley is a filmmaker and creative leader at Spirit Juice Studios.

Mary Shelley didn't just create Frankenstein - she helped invent modern science fiction while forever changing the landscape of horror. This episode, we explore her remarkable life: her radical parents, scandalous romance with Percy Shelley, the personal tragedies that shaped her, and the stormy night that gave birth to one of literature's greatest monsters. Along the way, we'll also trace how a novel written by an eighteen-year-old became one of the most influential stories ever told, inspiring centuries of debate about science, humanity, and what it truly means to be a creator.

Leap Castle in Ireland had it's beginnings in blood and death and is one of the longest continually inhabited castles in the world. Gothic windows and ivy covered towers give the castle a truly stereotypical look. The history contained within the castle's walls is fascinating and covers centuries of war and tragedies and contains elements of a murder soap opera. Castles and ghosts just seem to go together and Leap Castle is no different. There seems to be several spirits here, including a mysterious elemental. Join us for the history and hauntings of Leap Castle.  Check out the website: http://historygoesbump.com Music used in this episode: Main Theme: Creepy Carnival Theme  Created and produced by History Goes Bump Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and reflect on the gift of friendship as a foretaste of heaven and a living image of God's love. We talk about how we are meant to journey through life with each other, how God bonds us together along the way, and how these friendships are meant to last forever. We also discuss the gift of praising God for our friends, what it means to behold and not possess beauty, and how focusing on gratitude allows us to hold joy and sorrow in tension.    Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon).   Journal Questions: Who has accompanied you through the valleys and mountaintops of your life? When do I show up to my friendships from a place of woundedness, deficiency, or insecurity? How is the Lord inviting me into deeper security? What is the Lord inviting me to delight in? How have I turned my unmet expectations into demands in my friendships?   Discussion Questions: What are you grateful for? Where in your life are you experiencing the Lord's presence in the midst of suffering? When have unmet expectations turned into demands on a relationship?  How do you cultivate delight and gratitude in your life?   Quote to Ponder: "Friends in the Lord always turn one another toward the Lord. They are not forever gazing at each other, but together they look to the Lord and to their brothers and sisters in the Lord." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 101)   Scripture for Lectio: "We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.  But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,  from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love." (Ephesians 4:14-17)    Sponsor - Word on Fire's new film, Heaven in Stone and Glass, produced in partnership with Spirit Juice Studios: Beauty has the power to draw us beyond ourselves and point us toward something more. One of our favorite places in the United States is the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. When we are there, beauty has a way of speaking to the ache that we can't name. It is as though our soul knows where it belongs. It feels like a homecoming. Word on Fire's Heaven in Stone and Glass is a new film exploring the beauty, meaning, and evangelizing power of sacred architecture. Journey across France with Bishop Barron as he explores five of the world's most iconic Gothic cathedrals: Chartres, Notre-Dame, Reims, Amiens, and Saint-Denis. Through soaring arches, stained glass, sacred imagery, and centuries of history, Bishop Barron reveals the theological meaning embedded within these extraordinary spaces and explores why their beauty continues to stir something deep within the human soul. Heaven in Stone and Glass invites believers and skeptics alike on a cinematic pilgrimage and asks us to consider what these sacred spaces have proclaimed for centuries: that beauty can reveal something about God and awaken us to the transcendent. Word on Fire's Heaven in Stone and Glass, a production of Spirit Juice Studios, is coming to theaters nationwide on September 20th and 23rd.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. We're delighted to announce that a new feature film by Bishop Robert Barron will be hitting theaters—yes, theaters—soon. The full-length documentary, entitled Heaven in Stone and Glass, draws on the collective shock and sadness the world experienced watching Paris's Cathedral of Notre-Dame burn in 2019 to explore the enduring philosophical, theological, aesthetic, moral, and evangelical significance of the great Gothic cathedrals of France. Recognizing the potential destruction of Notre-Dame—happily, it has since been restored—as much more than the loss of a historic building, Bishop Barron personally walks us through Gothicism's soaring architecture and richly detailed symbolism to explain everything from the unity and diversity of creation, the nature of the human person, the objectivity of beauty, the meaning of the incarnation, the living communion of saints, and the hope of the beatific vision, and how all of this matters more than ever for a rapidly secularizing West at risk of losing its Christian civilizational identity. Here to share the story behind the making of the film, and what he hopes audiences will take away from it, is Bishop Robert Barron.
