Boo! Did we scare you? Well, ‘tis the season. We’re back with an extra special bonus episode for Halloween on Poe, Freud, and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” The Canon Ball is a member of the Agora Podcast Network, and as part of our embrace of all things creepy in the month of October, the network has pooled much of its talent to produce a set of spooky episodes under the heading of Agoraphobia.

Here’s a link to the first episode which features two Celtic themed horrors, with Ben Jacobs from Wittenberg to Westphalia talking on the Highland Clearances and Same Hume of Pax Britannica walking us through the Buggane. https://play.acast.com/s/theagorapodcastnetwork/agoraphobiammxx-ep.1-monsterofthehighlandclearances-buggane 

And if you’re a fan of our show, check out our discussion of Ambrose Bierce and the origins of weird fiction. Here’s the link: https://play.acast.com/s/theagorapodcastnetwork/agoraphobiammxx-ep.2-theweirdfictionofambrosebierce

And on episode 3 Raven from Tiny Vampires gets buggy with it and Claude offers a maybe too personal meditation on monsters and the Spanish baroque. https://play.acast.com/s/theagorapodcastnetwork/agoraphobiammxx-ep.3-gutted-monstermeditations

There are going to be upcoming episodes from others in the Agora roster, so subscribe and listen and enjoy some not unreasonably researched chills. And here’s a link to a general conversation on the gothic we had last year that we reference in the episode: https://play.acast.com/s/theagorapodcastnetwork/agoraphobiaiv-ep.4-theraven-gothiclit-
