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'.
