Ghoul Talk

After 8 months of painstakingly spooky work, here it is: the first ep of the Halloween season! Learn from Chef Daniel's EXCLUSIVE recipes, apple betrayals, and tea's viscosity. Don't miss the creature feature with ghost stories from Salem, the austere Minnesota plains, and Daniel's very own house! Plus a preview of our respective side projects involving instant coffee and a P-cast. Send us your stories and scary topics you want to hear about this season: We want to scare you so hard that you begin to doubt your sanity. Xoxo

BIPPITY-BOPPITY-BONUS EP! Eagle-eyed listeners may notice that there are two episodes in your feeds today. Since Two For Tuesday fell on a Tuesday this year, we're observing it today, Monday, by releasing this raw footage from the night Rachel came back to settle the score. Will our dashing heroes survive to 'cast again? Tune in Tuesday* night at 8/7c for the gripping conclusion!

Sorry, that episode title has virtually nothing to do with the actual content of this ep, Daniel just thought it was funny! Lindsey and Daniel are joined this week by Rachel Wery to help ring in the podcast New Year. Treat your ears to a recap of apple season 2022, and then STRAP IN for the main event, some lore and legends from Lake County, Illinois, courtesy of our special guest. We've got a White Cemetery, a Rainbow Road, a murderous bird bath (?!?), and more! 

Listen to the end for a shocking twist and dramatic twist, and keep your eyes peeled for a bonus Part 2 episode, momentarily 👀

HELLO SYDNEY (and other listeners)! Because scheduling multiple people across three different time zones is difficult, we're bringing you a Very Special Episode™ of Ghoul Talk where we needed not one but TWO guests to fill Lindsey's shoes. We have friends of the pod Maddy from Minnesota and returning champion David Boswell from the UK to collectively gush about one of the all-time great horror franchises: Scream. We'll get into a little bit of everything from the franchise, INCLUDING SPOILERS, and we'll end with adding insult to injury when Daniel runs through Lindsey's lightning round questions with our guests (stay to the end to hear what their favorite apples are!). 

Well Ghoul Talkers, we kept our blood oath and have delivered  another Halloween season masterpiece. Actor Nathan Wallace joins us for  an EXCLUSIVE AND TERRIFYING interview discussing his role in the 2022  horror film The Ones You Didn't Burn (dir. Elise Finnerty).  Nathan shares some juicy BTS tidbits about practical effects and mental  torture—he'll do anything for the art! Then he shares some  CONTROVERSIAL apple and tea opinions and previews a disturbing personal  paranormal experience from his soon-to-be bride (of Frankenstein).

Booooo... clanking chains... it's fall and WE. ARE. BACK! Lindsey gives us the goods about Minnesota's contributions to apple culture, tells us about a spooky experience that she had at the John H. Stevens House near Minnehaha Falls. And then we cut to the chase and Lindsey gives us some deets about some bizarre deaths that occured in Black River Falls, Wisconsin in the late 19th century. Stay tuned for some of DT'S HOT RECS and some teasers for our autumnal programming plans, including some special guests!

On this very special episode, we bring you some spooky lore from around the globe with guests David from England and Mathilde from Quebec! We talk about tea, briefly, so that we can get right into their well-prepared content! Join us for stories about the haunted pubs of The Old High Street in Hemel Hempstead, the Tale of La Chasse-galerie, Robert Snooks, and some ghost stories from St. Albans, Hertfordshire. 

We've got brown ladies, flying canoes, criminals who are bad at math but maybe really good at sewing (?), haunted hotels, Dickens, and Satan himself! This is one you won't want to miss! Happy Halloweeeeeen! 

Double, double, toil and trouble...it's the most wonderful time of the year! Join us for a very special Halloween season kickoff episode, where Daniel helps Lindsey recover her true holiday spirit (pun intended). Also: join us for a special Ghoul Talk Movie Club discussion of the truly wild new James Wan boooo-vie, Malignant and the Catholic Cult charms(?) of Mike Flanagan's latest series Midnight Mass. And stay tuned for ALL NEW stories coming soon...

Hey there, Ghoul Talkers! Fall is coming (and the world is more of an absolute nightmare bummer than seemingly ever before), so we've mustered up a new episode to give updates on some spooky happenings in Daniel's house and life, and then to discuss "The Lodge" (2019). WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST (it's on Hulu!) if you haven't seen it and want to avoid spoilers, it's got the Ghoul Talk stamp of approval! We'll try to be back soon/more regularly with spooky content for fall! 

This one has it all, my friend(s): AppleTalk, TeaFreaks, the chef ghost  terrorizing Daniel, UFOs, and cryptids (ugh)—all from your favorite(?)  reliable, CONSISTENT pod. Would we let you down? (Yes, consistently.)

HO HO HO, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Join Lindsey and Daniel as they forget some auld acquaintances, talk about the best winter teas, and tell some spooky tales. Daniel tells a story about some mysterious knocking that occurred around the death of a loved one, and Lindsey gets into the lore and science of spoooooooky cats. Make sure to listen to the end for some b-b-bonus tales! Her cat is also definitely trying to kill her, so enjoy her presence on the pod while you can, I guess!

Happy New Year's Eve! Here’s another old full-length bonus episode from 8/3/2015:

“Keeping up with the ghosts-only SLAM DUNK streak, this week we feature ghostly tales from South Dakota, that prairie paradise. Undoubtedly the best Dakota. I'm not even joking, Do I look like I'm joking?! No, dipshit, but I DO look like the kind of person who chooses to go on vacation to South Dakota. That's right: I'm an 80 year-old white biker guy, swathed in leather, eating steak and potatoes for every meal. But anyway, this isn't about me. It's about YOU. And it's about ghosts. (JK it's always about me.) On offer this week: a haunted hotel, a scairt mama's boy, a cowboy stalker, AAAAND a special appearance by the Mailman himself - Kevin Costner.”

You liked those little ghost story segment bonus eps? Well guess what, jokers? There were also a few special ghost-only episodes of Castle Lingus! This is the first one that we did, AND our first in-person recording together ever (:sob emoji:) originally released 07/13/2015 as Castle Lingus episode 19. Here’s the original Description:

SO LONG, SKYPE! We’re doing this one mano a mano. TWO MEN ENTER ONLY ONE CAN LEAVE. Nah, that’s not true, I don’t know why I said that. Anyway, this week we bring you a very special all-ghost episode of Castle Lingus from Castle Lingus Studio’s Chicago Bureau. Add three new listener submitted tales of terror, some Chicago ghost lore, cryptozoology, our first foray into field reporting, and some grade-A horsin' around, and you’ve got yourself a podcast.
