The show is essentially done, however listening back something is weird in going on with the vocal EQing on the last segment. If I don’t re-record it it will drive me crazy, so it may be another day or two, but not much longer. I will get the
Well, I didn’t make my goal of the 23rd, which will remain the target date each month. With the return of the show the lead time was a little shorter than it will be going forward, and there were more cats to herd out of the gate. The show will

I was going to wait to post something on Thomas Ligotti until I had read more of his work, but what the hell. I’d heard his name for a few years and had always been sort of curious, but it wasn’t until recently that I decided to give it a chan
