139: Gatekeeping Mallgoths

This episode we return to form by settling down in the gothic parlor for a wide ranging discussion on goth. The history of mallgoth, the relevance of gatekeeping, how to run an event, body shaming and aesthetic expectations and more! We also have a new batch of band recommendations, Azy Bat’s All Goth Considered and more.

Our guests are Julian Black (linktree) and Candace Midnight. You can also find the Arcane Vampire Ball here.
