Some monsters don't lurk in the dark — they wear a familiar face and sit down at your table. | June 07, 2026 #WDRadio==========HOUR ONE: In the 1960s, Brian Leathley-Andrew investigated and reported on numerous cases of strange objects in the sky, trying to get to the truth of what people were seeing. But when sinister events began happening to him, he knew he had to walk away from his career in Ufology – or the government might make him go away. (UFO Hunter Becomes The Hunted) *** Saying the disappearance of David Glenn Lewis is bizarre doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. What started out as a strange missing person's case would eventually be resolved. But the answer that would come would pose even more questions, proving the adage that “truth is stranger than fiction”. (The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis) *** The idea of a person changing into a wolf, or shape-shifting into some type of animal or cryptid is mostly confined to the authors of fictional horror. But not all societies and cultures are so quick to label shape-shifting as make-believe. (Shapeshifters And Therianthropes)==========HOUR TWO: “The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” *** When you hear the name “Transylvania” the immediate image in your mind is probably that of Dracula. But this Romanian town has more creepiness than just the Count's castle – it is also a hot spot for UFO activity and mysterious unexplained happenings. Some even think it could be the location of a portal to another dimension. (Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?) *** Sightings of unidentified flying objects might seem like a recent phenomena, with most reports occurring in the 20th and 21stcenturies. But UFO sightings go a lot further back in human history – and our ancient ancestors were just as shocked, confused and sometimes terrified, as we are today. (Ancient UFO Sightings)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A man goes off for supplies, leaving his wife behind to tend to the home in his absence – but not only did he never come home with the groceries, but a ghost story grew out of it. (The Ghosts of Hunger Valley) *** A UFO incident which we have covered before, but is worth looking at again, is an incident in 1952. This was one of the first admitted entity sightings and probably also one of the earliest close encounters of the third kind investigated officially at the time it took place.==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” from Paranormality Magazine“Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?” by A.

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Woinsky reviews “Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really: by Kate Hamill at San Francisco Playhouse through June 27, 2026.           TEXT OF REVIEW According to Google's unreliable AI, nobody beats Dracula as the single most portrayed literary character in film history, with over two hundred direct adaptations, parodies and crossover appearances. You can add the hundreds of theatrical versions floating around as well. Due to a screw-up in the 19th Century, Dracula has always been in the public domain in the United States. 

There's also the whole vampire thing too, Vlad Tepes, Anne Rice, the Lost Boys. In 2020, following a flurry of Jane Austen adaptations, playwright Kate Hamill chose to take a bite out of Bram Stoker, and thus we have Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really … yes, that's the title, which now runs at San Francisco Playhouse through June 27th. This Dracula hews to the beats of the Stoker novel, and at the same time turns it upside down. Dracula is not merely a monster, he's the archetype of toxic masculinity, particularly as muscularly and scarily performed by Johnny Moreno. Renfield, or rather Mrs. Renfield, the fly-eating comic lunatic, played here in an indelible performance by Stacy Ross, is the night's most tragic victim, the rejected female child, yearning for daddy to take her back. After a brief prologue the show opens at the doors of Dracula's castle in Transylvania, where estate agent Jonathan Harker, in a physical performance by James Aaron Oh that runs from torment to slapstick, meets up with the titular vampire, and his vampire wives, who are themselves victims of a misogynist society.

Then we move on to the main story involving Jonathan's Wife Mina, an engaging Sharon Shao, and her friend Lucy, a feisty Nemma Adeni, she's a proto-feminist planning to marry for security, certainly not love. And her fiancé, the staid anti-feminist Dr. Seward of the asylum, a deliberately stiff Josh Schell. And then we meet Dr. Van Helsing, in a cowboy hat, played with gusto by Susi Damilano, and all the elements fall in place. It's to director Bill English's credit that Dracula stays most of the time on a tightrope between Victorian melodrama, horror and camp. The laughter is uneasy, the pathos over the top, and the violence pretty graphic. This Dracula doesn't shy away from its bloody roots. While the subject may be fear and the subtext dealing with the evils of traditional masculinity, this is a fearless production with an impeccable cast. If you don't mind the viscera. Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy Really by Kate Hamill plays at San Francisco Playhouse through June 27th. For more information, you can go to sfplayhouse.org. I'm Richard Wolinsky on Bay Area theatre for KPFA. The post Review: “Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really” at San Francisco Playhouse appeared first on KPFA.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Dracula: "Dracula is so girly pop!" How does ACOFAE get Jessica Marie to watch a horror film? Tell her that is has Gary Oldman and Keanu Reeves in it will do the trick! ACOFAE is covering Dracula a couple different ways: Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 classic film AND the 1897 novel itself. Did you know Dracula begins in May? Jonathan Harker is on his way to Transylvania and his life is about to change in unexpected ways. Mina, his fiancé, and her best friend, Lucy, are in England and wait for Jonathan's return. What Dracula is and what he does becomes the stuff of legend and it all begins here. Laura Marie has read the book, Jessica Marie has watched the movie and together a discussion emerges about morality, purity, and how the addition of a love story changes the view of Dracula from villain to..something else.

The Supervillains are back!  And no, we're not talking about The Guys, though all three of them are in the studio today.  It's time for a catch-up episode on the Regrettable Supervillains segment, aka Jay's Regrettable Segment.  He mustered up a couple of doozies in this episode.  Let us begin.  First up is The Dictator, aka Hitler disguised as the devil.  The Guys aren't sure he's redeemable, but his arch-enemy Mr. Justice has a quirky backstory.  Then comes Dr. Dracula, who neither sees patients, teaches students, or hails from Transylvania.  What's up with this guy?  Not much, as it turns out.  It doesn't take much for Captain Battle and sidekick Hale to overcome him and his Nazi spies dressed like bats.  How a superhero lost an eye might make for a better story.  Before they get to Villain news, though, it's time for Geeks of the Week.  More sad news from Art?  Afraid so, and this time it's Roger Sweet: without him there would be no He-Man movie this year.  And there is great anticipation that none of the guys will be able to see any of 2026's movies in a local Infinity Vision theater - who's ready to sponsor a work trip to Vegas?  Robbie teases the teaser from the new season of Ted Lasso, and also announces (to GOCA listeners, anyway) that there's about to be one less Cook in the kitchen at Apple.  Jay was going to apply for the job, until found out they make computers, not pies. 

In this episode we recap Men's Nationals and then quickly switch gears to preview the Women's National Tournament.Men's NationalsThis tournament delivered plenty of excitement, highlighted by a playoff between Rochester and Transylvania to determine the final team to make the cut.

This talk argues that the ethnic conflicts of Southeast Europe are not the result of “ancient hatreds,” but of a specific historical configuration shaped during the Ottoman period. Under Ottoman rule, earlier forms of statehood did not disappear but survived in memory and identity in a kind of “suspended animation,” while at the same time demographic structures were significantly reshaped. Conflict emerged where these two processes intersected. In regions such as Kosovo, Bosnia, Vojvodina, and Transylvania, one group could claim historical precedence based on earlier statehood, while another could claim legitimacy based on later demographic dominance. The Greek–Turkish case shows a similar pattern, where a Byzantine territorial memory and Turkish nationhood collided over territories that became ethnically mixed during the Ottoman rule. The result is a particular type of conflict: not between truth and falsehood, but between competing and internally coherent forms of historical legitimacy — where both sides can plausibly claim that the land is, in different senses, their own.

In this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, Senior Writer Chin Liang takes us deep into the heart of Transylvania, a region forever linked to gothic legends, dark forests, and of course… vampires. But as Chin quickly shows us, the real Transylvania—and the real Brașov—is far more fascinating than any fictional horror story.We begin with the scenic train ride from Bucharest, winding through the Carpathian Mountains before arriving in Brașov, a city of 250,000 people that still feels like a perfectly preserved medieval town. In the Old Town's Council Square, Chin notices something unusual: the eyebrow dormer windows that look like hundreds of half‑closed eyes watching from the rooftops. Built by Saxons centuries ago, these “eyes” once ventilated attics—but today they give Brașov its unforgettable, slightly eerie charm.Chin explores the Black Church, the city's most famous landmark, named for the fire that blackened its walls in the 17th century. Inside stands one of the largest pipe organs in Southeastern Europe, with nearly 4,000 pipes still used for concerts.No trip to Brașov is complete without a visit to Bran Castle, the so‑called “Dracula's Castle.” Chin sets the record straight: the castle has nothing to do with vampires. Instead, it was a fortress, then a royal residence, and now a museum perched dramatically on a rocky cliff. Still, its silhouette was close enough to Bram Stoker's imagination that the legend stuck.Chin also recommends pairing your visit with Râșnov Fortress, a 13th‑century hilltop stronghold, and Peleș Palace, a spectacular neo‑Renaissance royal residence filled with secret doors, stained glass, medieval weapons, and ornate rooms that feel straight out of a fairytale.Back in Brașov, Chin samples local dishes like hearty beef stew and creamy roasted eggplant spread. And for the best view in town, he rides the cable car up Mount Tâmpa, where the forests and ridges of Transylvania stretch out in every direction. It's here, above the rooftops and the “watchful eyes,” that the city's resilience and history truly come into focus.Brașov is a place shaped by fire, rebuilt with pride, and wrapped in centuries of myth.

Coucou everyone!Deep in the heart of the Carpathian mountains, the wizarding school of Scholomance is believed to exist.

Episode 129 - Pack your bags and don't forget to pack your funny bone. We are headed to Transylvania to wrap up spring break and our Gene Gone Wilder month. This week we watch another classic, Young Frankenstein (1974), written by Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks, directed by Mel Brooks. A parody of the classic story of Frankenstein, Young Frankenstein stars Wilder along side Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman and Teri Garr among others. It's an unbelievable cast putting on a comedic clinic. We also finish this month strong with another classic pairing of Gene Wilder with Richard Pryor in See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989).And if that isn't enough to take in, we also get Marco's reveal for next month. In classic Marco form he realized we were having too much fun lately so made it a point to bring our fun to a grinding halt. What could it be? Tune in to find out.email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, by the time you hear this episode we may be at war with Cuba, or Ecuador, or Transylvania, because there is seemingly no country that the FIFA Peace Prize President won't bomb! Also, the Colorado GOP hasn't won a major election in Colorado in over 12 years, but they've defeated their own party chairperson yet again...and just months before a critical election. Then, if you thought International Women's Day could be the last bastion of bipartisanship in Colorado politics, you'd be wrong! We also have some more 2026 updates as caucuses turn to assemblies and assemblies turn to conventions and these processes get neither more democratic nor less inscrutable to decide who actual voters get to vote for. But first, in our third and final installment of “who wants to be the CD8 Democratic Nominee, we've got Evan Munsing on the show to tell us why Democratic Primary voters should pick him to run against our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado this November.That's it for this episode!

The vampire didn't rise from Transylvania — it crawled out of the Balkans.Forget Count Dracula — before Stoker's gothic horror came centuries of chilling folklore, blood-soaked superstition, and very real vampire panics. In this spine-tingling episode, travel writer and award-winning author Nick Jubber joins Paul Bavill to rage against the myth that vampires were born in Transylvania.From Serbian graveyards and Croatian legends to the age of Enlightenment and Hammer Horror, Nick traces how fear, politics, and imagination turned the undead into one of history's most enduring monsters. Discover how the printing press helped spread vampire hysteria, how priests profited from graveyard rituals, and why monsters mirror humanity's deepest desires and darkest fears.Whether you're a folklore fan or just love a good supernatural tale, this episode will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about the vampire myth.

It is an annual event. The regular season is officially over and teams eagerly wait to see where they may be playing in the NCAA Tournaments. We now know who has made the tournaments, so we can dive a bit more into where teams may be headed and how brackets could come together. Tune in to the annual Hoopsville Selection Sunday Special with Dave McHugh who will have interviews with teams who have clinched their bids automatically. Plus, hear from both national committee chairs on the landscape they see in front of them and their committees as they try and bracket with new priorities and perspectives. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline in Part 2: - John Garrett, Hunter women's coach - Kris Huffman, DePauw women's coach - Brian Lane, Transylvania men's coach - Panelists: - Pat Coleman, D3hoops.com Editor-in-Chief - Ryan Scott, bracketologist and D3hoops.com Around the Nation Columnist - Riley Zayas Plus hear from Loras men's coach following their conference championship. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com from the WBCA Studios.

When you think about Transylvania the name Dracula comes to mind. But did you know that Transylvania was originally part of Hungry and only incorporated into Romania after World War one. More importantly Romania is home to the Via Transilvanica long distance hiking trail which was officially launched on the 8th of October 2022. At that time the trail was 1400km but at the time of this interview covers just on 1600km in distance. The aim of this trail was to give travellers the chance to discover various parts of Romania in quite a unique way - different regions with their history, people, culture, landmarks, and stories. On launching it was designed to be the trail that unites. In today's episode we catch up with Alin, one of the team involved in creating this trail, along with Siobhan and Geoff, two Australian Hikers who undertook this walk to get different perspectives on this relatively unknown trail. www.australianhiker.com.au   Australian Hiker can also be found on our various social media platforms Australian Hiker Facebook Australian Hiker Instagram Australian Hiker Twitter Australian Hiker Threads Australian Hiker Youtube  

Time is running out. Some conference tournaments will begin this weekend, other regular season schedules will come to a close, and some races will come down to the final game. It all adds up to a busy time of the season, both on the court and in the Hoopsville studio. Thursday is a double-header, starting with our regular show where we will preview the GNAC showdown in men's basketball - both St. Joe's facing off for the regular season title. We also check in on the WIAC men's race and try and make sense of the chaos. Plus we talk with two women's programs that have wrapped up the regular season titles, but know winning the conference tournaments are a must. Plus plenty of news & notes, coaches and program updates, and even a conference tourney preview. Plus there is news & notes on coaching changes, programs shutting the season down early, and Dave's '2-Cents' on conference tiebreakers. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - GNAC Men's Showdown - Glen Miller, St. Joseph's (Conn.) men's coach - Tyler Ackley, St. Joseph (Maine) men's coach - Kent Dernbach, UW-Stevens Point men's coach - Hannah Kline, Transylvania women's coach - Kelly Dunne-Romig, Nazareth women's coach Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com from the WBCA Studios.

Welcome back to regularly scheduled podcasting! The tours have gone to South America, Transylvania, the Netherlands, Texas, and the UAE -- regional tours ftw, btw -- over the past two weeks. Karolina Muchova finally gets a big title, Mboko notches an incredible run to the Doha final, Zheng announces herself, Felix becomes king of Canada, and most importantly we're back from Mexico, caught up on sleep and armed with fresh takes. We decide to finally dip our toes in the apparently imminent Serena comeback, whatever it shall be, and how it interacts with her endorsement of GLP-1 drugs (and her family's vested interest). We've also got random takes on Bad Bunny, Brad, Puerto Vallarta, and Destanee Aiava's eye-opening retirement announcement. 0:30 Catching up with us 12:00 Shelton Does Dallas; Canada's Indoor King; the ATP's hottest final  17:05 Muchova finally gets that elusive second title. A big one! 25:30 Zheng, Sakkari, Iga's d****e b****e   36:00 Red card! 39:50 I guess we should tackle the “comeback”  50:15 Odds and ends: Jack's gateway haircut, Naomi picks on a podcast (not us, confirmed) 55:20 Destanee Aiava drops a hell of a retirement announcement

In observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day we're airing an interview with Holocaust survivor Adela Dagerman. Adela (born Adela Kraus) grew up in Nyírbátor, Hungary. In 1944, as a 16-year-old, she and her family were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. She and her sister Rose survived.
