Just a taste, more like a banquet of the new show with the old cast. EERIE listeners will recognize old and newish EERIE voices (from EP 220) as we simulcast a new podcast we've had in development, Indy Roamers. It's a lot of the same banter you loved or hated and a whole lot more. And if you like it, head over to ITunes and subscribe!
In this episode, DK and Rob speak at some length on the phenomenon of strange noises in the sky and how believable they think it might be. Also joining us are the regulars for the new Indy Roamers podcast.
In EERIE's latest trip to GenCon, we speak with Casey Clark of Spartacus Publishing about Luchadors and Mike Curry with John Wick Presents about their 2nd edition of the iconic swashbuckling game 7th Sea.
In this episode, Rob and the EERIE Part-Timer, Ryan, take a fun-filled fabulous trip to the historic and haunted Randolph County Infirmary. Just for an Open House, but we did check to see if they'd admit Ryan.
In this cast, Rob and Jason try to discuss legends of several Native American tribes discussing their encounters with giants, while diverging into discussions of movie and TV, carrying through to the engimatic Incan dick pottery. Film at 11.
A little dinner conversation and afterward with the wayward travelling Ghostpiper after his tour of Whispers Estates in southern Indiana.
Rob takes you on a trip to the 1980's to discuss a fun little period of modern history where parents, preachers, and politicians were certain a few books would doom the youth of the day.
Continuing the Commentary Series, Rob discusses his thoughts on the new X-File episodes. Spoilers on the first episode. He also discusses other formative paranormal TV shows for the EERIE crew and his view on the changing conspiracy theories they have promoted.
This is the first in a potentially long line of commentaries we have on topics or events that interest us and hopefully you. In this episode, Rob discusses trolls, people who are blindly skeptical of the paranormal, and briefly discusses "Eggshell Earth"; the traditional Hollow Earth theory.
DK, Rob, Jason, and Rachel explore not only the latest happenings in the world of artificial intelligence, but dive into the movie history of A.I. in all its forms. Don't forget to listen to the very end for EERIE's own Robby P.I. discussing Paranormal Thoughts on Mermaids.
Rob, Jason and a returning DK after much digression and debauchery speak to the allure and frustration of exploring the unknown and unknowable. Listen to hear if we finally get to the point.
Jason and Rob talk a lot of scifi, appropriate for a discussion of one of the great Lunar conspiracies, the alleged Apollo XX mission. Still more of you have asked about the show and what's up, so more inside baseball finishes the show out.
Rob is joined by guest hosts Ericka and Sexual Ryan for a look into the goings on as they wander around at HorrorHound Indianapolis. There is much commentary and fun and frivolity. Listen for some special voices as well as tremendous interview with Cam Clark from Open Sign Productions. Look 'em up!
Rob, Jess, and a cast of dozens tour the grounds of the Historic Hannah House and meet some of the paranormal and ghost hunter groups new and old. Expect a word or two from DK and Ollion and hang on for a special announcement near the end of other venues we'll be invading.
Our annual trip to Gen Con where we speak with veteran artist Bradley K. McDevitt, catch a few minutes with MST3K alum Trace Beaulieu, and Mayfair's own Bob & Angus. Rob and field correspondent Wunji also host a panel of game designers with a unique mission.
Jason and Rachel are back to join Rob in a discussion of the famous 1950's Hopkinsville Goblins incident in rural Kentucky. Along the way we discuss a little of the innate prejudice and credibility gap against those who experience something they cannot explain.
In this mega-episode, Rob welcomes the illustrious DK back for a discussion on comedy and how political correctness is trying to strangle the life out of it. Also, we discuss the usual societal ills of racism, sexism, and dick jokes.
Rachel returns and fails to corral Jason and Rob into a useful topic. However, the cast does talk on Mexico's Maqim or Zone of Silence, their own little odd place on Earth. Many topics and diversions are indulged. Oh...and lawn mowing.
Rob and Jason delve into a host of popular conspiracy theories and give their thoughts on said indulgences. They also pontificate on the idea of conspiracy theories in general, talk movie mayhem and try to cover for the lack of Rachel.
Rob, Jason and Rachel ponder on the basic history of the Philadelphia Experiment and its original chronicler, the astronomer Morris K. Jessup. In between we manage to talk a lot about our favorite cinema gems.
In this episode, we visit with some of the sensitives and crystal merchants attending the psychic fair sponsored by Good Journeys. We return to a bit of familiar ground for EERIE veterans yet still find some previously untrodden paths.
Rob, Jason, and Rachel explore the anti-Santa, Krampus. For good measure, we explore his happy cohort of holiday demons. This combined with a massive news segment makes for yet another great episode of EERIEX.
In this episode, Rob, Rachel, and Jessa discuss after many amusing tangents the misapplication, vulgarization and flat-out abuse of science. Science is not a religion. It's not something to make people feel superior to others, and we rant on about how at times that is exactly how it is treated. Offended yet? You might be, or you might find you agree.
DK, Ali, & Shep record one last show with Rob where, after DK hijacks the show for a good length the gruesome foursome discusses cultural appropriation or more simply why everyone takes themselves and their "culture" so frickin' seriously. We also make a plea, but with more begging and making of the funny than your typical public broadcast outfit. Stay tuned for more!
We conclude our GenCon coverage with four more amazing interviews starting with veteran game designer Lester Smith, Shane Hensley of Pinnacle Entertainment, Monica Valentinelli of Margaret Weis Productions and Wunji Lau of Dream Pod 9. We wrap up with a little pre-show audio from our Episode 200 dinner.
A Con experience so big we had to break it in twain. The first couple of days of the biggest four days in gaming you'll hear from author Matt Forbeck, Greenbrier Games, the Damsels of Dorkington, Grant Wilson (yes, that Grant Wilson) and many more. Stay tuned for Part II!
Get ready for your EERIEX cast and a slate of mystery guests you'd never imagine would be in one room. For longtime fans and not-so-longtime fans, a lot of old familiar voices talk the best of EERIE Radio and EERIEX to show where we've been and a little of where we're going.
Just a quick reminder on goings on with EERIEX for Episode 200, EERIEX at GenCon, and beyond.
Some stories of classic fiction for our EERIEX listeners to tide you over as we prepare for Episode 200. You'll hear H.P. Lovecraft's The Alchemist, read by the lovely and talented Charlene, and an old ditty from Spooky Logistics days, the Most Dangerous Game performed by Fizz and Rob. Enjoy!
