Our favorite horror writer is back at it again! This week we read Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix, a truly harrowing mixture of pregnancy horror, social horror, and eels. In this episode, as you can probably imagine, we talk a lot about abortion rights, fucked up pregnancy stuff, and infanticide. Like honestly probably way too much discussion of infanticide, oopsie, sorry about that. Proceed with caution accordingly. More pregnancy/motherhood/baby horror recs: Nestlings by Nat CassidyImmaculate (2024)The First Omen (2024)Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022) (Note from Cyrus: I forgot to mention this one on the episode but IT'S SO GOOD PLEASE WATCH IT. One of the rare movies that actually made me scream aloud)And lastly, if you want to read/listen to Cyrus's story mentioned at the end of this episode, it's not about pregnancy but it is very much horror: Hemorrhage on Pseudopod.org (not .com as we say on the podcast, I'm a fool)Support the show
“The man in black fled across the desert, and the podcaster followed…” Welcome to the start of what is sure to be an epic journey. Step by step, over more than a dozen episodes, Talking Scared will be following the beam all the way to the Dark Tower – that mad edifice at the heart of Stephen King's opus. Maybe it's the heart of every story ever told… time will tell. Unlike Roland Deschain, I don't go alone. I'm joined by author and fellow King-nut, Nat Cassidy (Mary, Nestlings, When the Wolf Comes Home) and absolute newbie, Chris Panatier (The Phlebotomist, The Redemption of Morgan Bright) and in this first ever episode we tussle with the tricky, dusty, thorny opening that is Book One: The Gunslinger. What follows dives deep into the book, but is 100% spoiler free about anything beyond it. So if you've only read The Gunslinger, you're good to go. I hope you enjoy our wanderings. I hope you tinct. I hope you darkle.

Freewheeling, saxophone soundtracked deep dive chat between Matt n Nat re all things Stephen King. It's our biggest Survivor Type episode yet with the award winning horror novelist Nat Cassidy, author of "Mary", "Nestlings" and the upcoming "When The Wolf Comes Home".
This week, we're reading Nat Cassidy's second horror novel about vampires, babies, and New York real estate that is so completely not ADA compliant. With special guest, our friend and resident horror book recommender Katie! Talking points include: navigating the inherent antisemitism of vampire mythology, Capri-sunning a human being, different types of evil landlords, and truly so much stuff about motherhood. I'm sure three childless adults in their thirties are really gonna be the expert on that subject. Support the show

Julie Zickefoose is one of those birding writers I've admired from afar for a long time. When I first got into birds during that miserable pandemic, her book, “Saving Jemima” was one of the first bird-related titles I picked up at our library.I was captivated. Who knew little birds could have such big personalities? Who knew how much creativity and courage it would take to rehab a single bird?You can check out Julie's books, illustrations, and more at her website, too. Or follow her on Instagram or Facebook.As a reminder, The Thing with Feathers podcast comes out bi-weekly on Mondays.

Sometimes when you're doing something scary good company can be a blessing. Nat Cassidy is good company. And this week he talks me through the haunted hallways and avenues of his New York horror ode, Nestlings – but he also helps me tackle the very real world horror that is turning our newspapers into nightmare-fodder and the Middle East into a tinderbox. But have no fear (well, always have a little fear!) this is no mere despairing, depressing look at reality. We also talk about gargoyles and vampire-adjacent things, about New York winters and longing for home … and of course, about Stephen King. Enjoy!

Pre-order NESTLINGS today! While you're at it, grab MARY as well!This book has it all! A creepy luxury building with secrets. An opportunity too good to be true. Something not feeling right. Some kind of monsters? While this book does tackle some serious topics, such as living with a disability after having just had a baby, dealing with loss and grief, and having shitty landlords, it is entertaining and well paced! It's a great read and really shines on many levels. This is my first time talking to Nat, though you'd never know it, from how we got along. It was almost instantly that I was opening up to Nat about things, and he was sharing his own difficult struggles that helped him to create this story. It was utterly delightful, inspirational, and I think it helped me want to confront some of my trauma of going through having cancer.I consider this book, as well as the conversation, as a way for us to all take a look at the shit circumstances we've found ourselves in lately, and say “what the fuck” and try to move past it. It's not all serious. We had plenty of jokes and fun, and a nice chunk of it is spent talking about Stephen King, who was celebrating his birthday the night we recorded. Maybe his birthday ears were ringing. Please, just immediately go buy Nat's books. He's a talent, and I think he's gonna be my best friend one of these days.For those who want to visual experience: Get full access to The ARC Party at www.thearcparty.com/subscribe

Imagine this Black-capped Chickadee flying toward its nest, carrying fresh insects for its chicks. A moment later, it emerges with a tiny white pouch in its bill. The chickadee drops the object into the vegetation below. That outgoing payload is a fecal sac, a remarkable adaptation found in nesting songbirds. Nestlings — often within seconds of being fed by an adult — excrete waste in tidy little sacs. Then the dutiful parent switches tasks, from meal delivery to waste management.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Confucious once said, “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Is this true? How, then, do we better notice beauty around us? Perhaps we might find beauty in a person, a place, or even a story, like here on The Apple Seed! Today's collection of stories explores the definition of beauty. Storytellers John McCutcheon, Kevin Cordi, Fran Stallings, Margaret MacDonald, Holly Robinson and Ed Stivender share the lovely, the good, and the uplifting in their stories from around the world. On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Streets of Sarajevo” by John McCutcheon from Untold/Unsung (4:41) A song honoring a cellist who dutifully played every day outside of a bakery where 22 people lost their lives in Sarajevo. “Listen to the Strings” by Kevin Cordi from Wisdom Keepers: Wise Tales and Wise People (8:28)An aspiring young guitarist who worries his songs have lost their beauty, but a suggestion from a mentor proves him otherwise. “Too Much Help” by Fran Stallings from Stories and Songs for a Green Earth (8:52)When a village fails to care for the town they've created, magical wooden figures are built to put the place in order. According to the legend, these figures become what we know as monkeys! “Kanji-Jo, the Nestlings” by Margaret MacDonald from Tuck-Me-In Tales (15:23)When a family of baby birds hatch, they can't seem to find their mother! Questing to find her, they use the only identifier they know of to seek her out: her songs. “The Most Beautiful Thing” by Holly Robinson from Folk Tales Utah Storytelling Guild Story Collection: Volume 2 (4:38)In our next story, the mighty Lion holds a competition for the other animals to bring him “the most beautiful thing.” A mother monkey can't help but bring the most beautiful thing to her: her new baby. “The Gospel of Beauty” by Ed Stivender from And Once Again... (1:44)Here's a poetic piece from Ed Stivender expressing his ideals for what makes the world beautiful to him. Radio Family Journal: "Eye of the Beholder" (6:05)In an episode filled with stories exploring the beauty around us, Sam takes a moment to reflect upon his first ideas about what was beautiful in the world, and how they tie in to his hometown.
