This last part turned into a general discussion about producing audio drama which should prove informative to anyone thinking about doing so.Miskatonic University is home to National Soccer Champions team the Miskatonic Squids. Explore our ivy league campus and discover the Orne Library's special collections containing forbidden texts such as the infamous "Necronomicon". In our discussion, Matthew and I talk about the relationship between comedy and horror, where the humour lies in Lovecraft, and how he goes about writing and creating the podcast. As Matthew mentions in the interview, however, this has not proved a barrier to international listeners. The stories swing wildly between comedy and horror, usually keeping the two elements discrete but sometimes mixing them to great effect (such as in the recent special, “Fish Supper Over Innsmouth”).īe warned that A Scottish Podcast is even more sweary than the Good Friends and that the humour is very Scottish. What stops A Scottish Podcast from being just another paranormal drama is its cast of wildly eccentric supporting characters. He ropes his long-suffering friend Doug into producing it and the two of them travel across Scotland, investigating weird cases they are increasingly forced to take seriously. The basic premise is that Lee, a failed disc jockey, has decided to reboot his career by starting a paranormal investigation podcast. While the name may not suggest it, A Scottish Podcast is steeped in Lovecraftian horror. Matthew McLean is the writer, producer and one of the stars of A Scottish Podcast. This time, however, we’re breaking away from cults and turning back to a topic we discussed in episode 127: that uneasy ground that lies between comedy and horror.
We’re back with another special interview episode.
