Carrier, Lore, Spooked
10/26/19 • 41 min
Spoooooooky Halloween everybody! This week's episode is all about the creepy, kooky and downright spooky so we've found podcasts to recommend that are (hopefully) guaranteed to make your skin crawl. Liz recommends an immersive drama featuring some star power with Cynthia Erivo, Carrier; Zane looks to this mortal coil with real-life supernatural encounters in Spooked WNYC; and Patrick takes a look the frightening history behind common folklore with the podcast that spawned an Amazon Prime TV series, Lore.
Liz Recommends - Carrier
https://www.qcodemedia.com/carrier
The main reason Liz got so, erm, carried away with Carrier was the immersive experience factor. Thanks to excellent soundscapes and use of surround sound, you really feel like you're in the episode and experiencing every eerie thing the protagonist is experiencing.
"What happens when a truck driver picks up a loaded trailer, but has no idea what’s really inside? Tony, Grammy, and Emmy award winner Cynthia Erivo journeys down a dark and lonely highway in this original scripted thriller from Qcode and creator Dan Blank. With immersive audio techniques that create a dimensional listening experience, the audience is strongly advised to use caution, wear headphones if possible, and listen... carefully."
For both: It's a serial so start from the start and listen with headphones for a full experience.

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby!, Say Why to Drugs, None Dare Call It Ordinary!
1 RecommendationsYou need some podcast recommendations? Well, you’re in luck! We have three new podcast recommendations for you as well as our reviews of last week’s recommendations! Zane has another listener submission this week with the all-things-weird podcast None Dare Call it Ordinary!, Liz goes mythical with a Greek Mythology podcast with a feminist bent and Pat brings us a science-based drug podcast. And don't forget to stick around for our reviews of last weeks podcast at the end!
Liz Recommends - Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! A Greek and Roman Mythology Podcast
"Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! is a Greek and Roman mythology podcast.
But it’s not your average Greek and Roman mythology podcast, this one is told by a 30-something Millennial with a penchant for cursing and a feminist attitude. The stories are deeply researched, thoroughly told, and they don’t hold back the details that have been sugarcoated and treated with kid gloves over the millennia since they were originally told.
There’s violence, assault, and so, so many gods transforming into animals to have their way [with women and nymphs]. Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! is casual and fun but equally knowledgeable and will leave you with a deeper understanding of the myths and the people who told them those many, many years ago." Hosted by Liv Albert, this podcast is great because it's a nice chatty (even though there is only one person talking) podcast that makes history and myths super accessible.
For both: I like the Hercules/Heracles series because that guy was actually kind of a dick.
Pat Recommends - Say Why to Drugs
https://play.acast.com/s/saywhytodrugs
Dr Suzi Gage is a psychologist interested in understanding the relationship between drug use and mental health. Most are dedicated to a particular substance or type of substance, there's also live shows, special guest interviews and AMA's thrown into the mix. Episodes range from about 20-40 minutes.
For Zane & Liz: Just go ahead and pick your favorite drug

Zane Recommends - None Dare Call It Ordinary!
https://www.nonedarecallitordinary.com/
Another Listener submission! This one is an interesting artifact as it seems to combine a few common themes that Zane like to bring to his fellow castologists. Part true-crime, part history, part comedy, the hosts Dylan, Brent, and Forrest dig into the unusual, unorthodox, and downright unsettling beliefs found at the depths of the Internet and the heights of paranoia. They are kind of a podcast on the history of ideas, except the ideas come mainly from cranks, con artists, extremists, frauds, and other chronic failures. Whether they promote pseudoscience, alternative medicine, fringe religions, radical politics, or revisionist history.
For Pat: Any topic that you might be interested in
For Liz: Any topic that you might be interested in

Next Episode
Anthem: Homunculus, Frank and Beans, Sean Carroll's Mindscape
Oh, it's you! Welcome! We've got a wide range of interests with today's recommendations: think science, sex and weird musical stuff. Zane looks at a Luminary exclusive bursting with Hollywood and Broadway star power in Anthem: Homunculus. Liz has a new interest in dating podcasts thanks to her new podcast Ghosts of Boyfriends Past so she's grabbed Frank and Beans from the listener submissions list. And then Patrick looks at a super approachable hard science offering with Sean Carroll's Mindscape (while being very hungover). Then it's on to the reviews of our spooky Halloween ep last week.
Liz Recommends - Frank and Beans
https://www.facebook.com/Frank-Beans-A-Sex-and-Relationship-Podcast-193991901415725/
Liz is getting into relationships and dating podcasts now that she's launched her own and Frank and Beans jumped out at her from the submissions pile. She loves the on-air chemistry of show hosts Beth and Brian, and the way they get the male, female perspective on some of the most important issues in the world of love and sex.
"Frank and Beans is a biweekly podcast that covers the ups and downs of dating, relationships and sex with a female and male perspective, making the world a better place to date."
For both: whatever topic takes your fancy.

Pat Recommends - Sean Carrol's Mindscape
https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/
Who's Sean Carrol you say? Only a theoretical physicist from the university of California. He specialises in quantum mechanics, cosnology, and gravity. He also hosts a rip roaring podcast. These episodes are typically an interview with a scientist or a science adjacent professional. It's good gear, get it in ya.
For Zane & Liz: It's all good
Zane Recommends - Anthem: Homunculous
The time has come and Zane is recommending a Luminary exclusive podcast. BUT it is a truly unique and possibly game-changing musical podcast written by John Cameron Mitchell who wrote and originated the the role of Hedwig & the Angry Inch. Anthem: Homunculous is the story of broke, failed artist Ceann Mackay (John Cameron Mitchell) as he launches an app-based “tumor telethon” to crowdfund his survival. Cynthia Erivo, Glenn Close, Nakhane and Patti LuPone co-star in a darkly hilarious musical retelling of Ceann's life as he realizes what’s killing him may be the very thing that saves us all.
For Pat & Liz: From the Start
