Another flashback to podcasts of the past. Why not revisit our episode on The Omen from July 2021. Search for General Witchfinders and look for episode 14. Forgive any dodgy sound quality, we got better as the years went on.

You may not know that one of your hosts has another podcast. Give Ross’s other show a listen, which he records with his friends David and Henry.
With my #DarkDarzet hat on (or rather T-shirt) I was invited to do a talk about the history of Morris Dancing. Not knowing anything on the subject didn’t stop me doing it. Here’s a recording of the night, our new podcast episode: Morris Dancing Talk LIVE.

Not a clip from this episode - obviously!
The character being lampooned by Clive Dunn doesn’t make their debut until this weekend ..
However, broadcast 31st December, it is a very quick off the mark first parody

I watched 'The Last Sacrifice' last night; it falls between the two stools of 'true crime tale' and 'sociological overview', but it's definitely worth a watch - especially if you're our @generalwitch.bsky.social listner... youtu.be/rcfAuUjibAk?...

Found a stock library with some great stills from films we’ve covered before, so it’s a good excuse to revisit a few classics. For example, why not seek out episode 20 where we talked about ‘Frenzy’. pod.link/1547179456/e...

Having my story 'Neck Ek' published by @generalwitch.bsky.social has encouraged me to push out the rest of my little horrors; I'm sitting on a pile of stories between 1000-3500, and I aim to get them out there #horror #writing #shortstories
