Good but not great
As a therapist myself who is also a fan of horror, I really have high hopes for this podcast. Criticisms - the hosts draw too much on their own trauma. I work with clients all day and I have to take this podcast in small chunks because I sometimes feel like I’m doing too much emotional labor for these podcast hosts. The theory that is brought it is good to include, and very approachable for a lay-person. I really, really wanted to love this podcast but it just doesn’t seem as tight or polished as other horror podcasts I listen to. Also, and this is just my own personal bias and gripe, but listening to the hosts stumble through descriptions of contemporary Neo-Paganism on their Wickerman episode was embarrassing. It would have been cool to have an actual with or contemporary practitioner as a guest. I have the understating that one of the hosts practices some witchcraft? But that’s not at all the same as a deeply devotional, folk/indigenous practice that is depicted in the Wickerman. Also - the word is “parthenogenesis” and it’s not a dragon - it’s a hobby horse. Not that I expect everyone to be as obsessed with this film as I am, but they just get a lot factually and thematically wrong about this film. Clearly lots of work goes into this podcast, which is cool. But I wonder who the audience is?
