Hope you enjoy this 'from the vault' episode of Dark Natter, where Hosts In The Shell was born/grafted monstrously together!
Back in 2021, the Hosts met when @cleric20.bsky.social guested on @jonrichter.bsky.social's other podcast, Dark Natter, to discuss 1990 sci-fi horror extravaganza, Hardware 🤖💀
As a bonus episode, we've exhumed the recording so you can hear the birth of a cyberpunk partnership!!
