OH DAMN, it doesn't get much more personally special for me as far as guests go!

Michael Swaim is a professional author, comedian, actor and podcaster. He became the face of the website Cracked.com during its hey-day, the popularity of which allowed him to branch off and create his own podcast network Small Beans (which can be found wherever you listen to podcasts).

Michael is a genuine creative hero of mine so it was an honour to chat to him about his career, his new book 'The Climb' and being scared of death.

You can find all of Michael's important info, as well as links to his book via the Small Beans patreon, patreon.com/smallbeans

James (Jay) Du Heaume is a professional musician currently living and working in London. He's been a good friend of mine for a number of years. His pilgrimage from Jersey to find success as a musician is one I keep a close eye on and feel passionate about supporting. Many people try, few people succeed. Lift up your friends when they try to pursue their dreams.

In this chat, we talk about how Jay's career is turning out, the lessons along the way and what defining success will mean to him.

BACK FROM BEYOND THE PODCAST GRAVE!

But for real, just a big ol' hiatus whilst I got some life stuff sorted.

Big episode today - we're going familiar with my own family, my big brother, Dan Liot.

Context found within, tl;dr, I've moved flat and got engaged! I haven't had any time to set-up a new home studio yet for recording, so until that's back up and running, here's a little sneaky episode Nyxx and I got done before I packed up all the kit.

Hey guys! A quick update for y'all about the immediate future of CC.

TLDR: We're taking a lil break for our own sanity and will commence your regular horror programming very soon!

Stay spooky,

John

We're keeping the finger on the pulse of contemporary horror this week! We watched The Outwaters, "it's the 2023 Blair Witch!", is it though? I guess, kinda?! What it definitely is is a found footage movie that's generated a lot of hype and we were certainly on the train too! 

We conclude Nightmare Fuel by also dipping back into Found Footage, how serendipitous!

From the horrors of a living room in Skinamarink, to a good ol' fashioned black mass orgy in an abandoned building - this week we're chatting about Baskin! An offering from the lands of Turkey where such cultural differences are imperative to getting the most out of this story.
