Who am I?
I'm the host of Weirdies, a podcast about old horror films and a love affair with the weird. I have loved the occult, horror, the supernatural and weird stuff since I was a kid. I also love my music, particularly heavy metal. I love horror films and history from being a curious wee boy growing up. My Nana let me watch horror films and called them Weirdies. Hence the title of my podcast.

What is my podcast playlist about?
Film, TV, music and weird fiction. Things that take up a large part of my life. There is something here for you if you love old horror films and the less normal side of life.

General Witchfinders: A British Horror Podcast. Britain... An ancient kingdom with legends of violence, cruelty and torment in it’s blood. Join your podcast hosts: Ross, Jon and James, as they bravely tread where few would dare. Witness their journey into the horrific history of British horror. Three friends delve into the darker corners of British entertainment, from the iconic Hammer films to the haunting tales of #BigChrisLee's Dracula and the enigmatic Quatermass. United by a shared love for comedy, sci-fi, and horror, Ross and James solidified their friendship during their youth. Red Dwarf, Star Trek, and any eerie narratives they could find became their refuge in the wasteland of early-90s television. Ross's time at art school in Cardiff brought him into Jon's orbit, and two became three. Years later, as Jon found himself restless during lockdown, a reckless idea took hold: a horror podcast dedicated to rediscovering overlooked British treasures. To their surprise, after over 40 episodes, they're still at it. General Witchfinders, the number one Podcast (in Finland, for 'Film History', for one week), has become a haven for enthusiasts of the macabre, where cherished memories and forgotten classics are brought back to life, all with a splash of 'moronic prattle'.

Great work.” - 5 Stars ***** “If you’re looking for a fun chat about vintage British horror and sci-fi, then this is the podcast for you.” - 5 Stars *****
