Due to the podcast's current host being unable to provide information on a recent technical issue, I'm going to move the show to a new host. Many thanks to Martin from the 3 Ravens podcast for his recommendations, hopefully the podcast's new home (when I get it set up) will prove more fruitful!

I'm setting up a side project on Youtube, which will be episodes of me playing the horror-survival game SCUM. The game pits the player against the harsh environment of a desolated island, zombies and in some cases other players. There's room on the server for 9 others - anyone interested?

So a quick project update. I'm working on collating stories for the podcast and recording bits n bobs as and when I can. I've got elements of about 5 episodes nearly sorted, just trying to match stories with more investigatory episodes. I'm also overhauling the main website with a winter theme.

The Ouija Board Can't Connect Us to Paranormal Forces—but It Can Tell Us a Lot About Psychology, Grief and Uncertainty
The game was born from Americans' obsession with Spiritualism in the 19th century. Since then, it's functioned as a reflection of their deep-seated beliefs and anxieties for more than a century
