Who here likes weird fiction? Wow, that's a lot of hands. Ok then, listen up, because NecronomiCon Providence is the place for you! In this episode of Citywide Bytes, Ken Vaughn, director of core programming for this bi-annual showcase, talks about the panels, guest speakers, special events and much more that await those eager to check out this weird and fun convention. We spotlight the guests of honor and Ken talks about the work to bring them all together. We also look at how this event has grown over the years from its inception in the 90s to what it has become today. NeconomiCon takes place from August 15-18 in Providence, Rhode Island at the Omni Hotel.
In which Claire and Tod talk about HP Lovecraft's "Polaris," first published by HP Lovecraft in the December, 1920 issue of The Philosopher , and available at hplovecraft.com.As this is a horror podcast, please know that this episode may not be for everyone. The discussed story includes descriptions of siderophobia (the fear of stars), a swampy cemetery, a mention of cannibalism, a confusion between waking and dreaming life, and many poorly pronounced fantastical place and race names. If these things are likely to bother you unduly, you are urged to skip this episode.Catch us at Necronomicon Providence, where we'll be playing live at AS220! And for a full recap of the Eldritch Ball of 2022, listen to the beginning of The Curse of Yig (Discussion). (For the flashback sequence to that episode, we used this bit of ambience from Berlin Atmospheres.)Finally, the mentioned TikTok is Lukas T Arnold's Trump Down for What, which is truly quite catchy. The YouTube series, The Most Popular Girls in School, appears to take place one town over from Olathoë.You can text us now. Why? That's between you and your Elder God. Support the Show.Like the show?

In which Tod and Claire discuss The Descendant, by HP Lovecraft, first published in the winter 1938 issue of Leaves. We also talk about Charles Fort and the Fortean Times, kind of a lot.Links to things mentioned in the show include Angela Collier's "physics crackpots: a theory" and https://hplovecraft.com. We also talked about NecronomiCON Providence, which I hope you go to in mid-August.Please be aware, this is a horror podcast, so it might not be for everyone. Notably, this story fragment touches on the troubling topics of the ravages of age and dementia, the Roman empire and medieval England, the dreaded Necronomicon, 90's-era Satanism, and a nihilistic longing to escape the natural world. If these topics are likely to trouble you, you are urged to skip this episode.Editor's note: At about 12m30s, Tod states that Rats in the Walls was written in 1929. That is incorrect. Rats in the Walls was published in 1924, two years before this was written, which implies that maybe this actually was intended as a sequel (but with different names and not really a sequel). In other words, Claire was right and Tod was wrong. That's fine.Support the showLike the show? Say so with money! Or just hang out with us on Mastodon, at @podsothoth@defcon.social.

It's not Monster Kid Radio. It's Manster Kid Radio this week as artist and ceramist joins Derek to discuss the 1959 film The Manster (dir. George Breakston). There's just something about two-headed-monster movies that's flat out creepy cool (and apparently Sam Raimi thought so, too - listen to this episode to get that reference!). You'll be able to see Jim at the upcoming convention in Burbank, CA, and you won't be able to miss him. He's the only man there with two heads! Okay, not really, but he will be the only one there with the coolest tiki versions of our beloved Gill-Man for sale! As for a convention that just happened, author Karen Joan Kohoutek was just at NecronomiCon Providence and she calls in with a quick update about the con. Also this week, Kenny has another look at Famous Monsters of Filmland, and we even hear from a potential future guest of the podcast when he calls in with his own take on the put-the-head-of-a-dead-historical-figure-on-a-body-ala-The-Man-Without-A-Body idea!
