The Blake Cunningham Delirium

Ever feel most at home when the world tilts a little? That’s the spark for our Halloween special—an honest love letter to spooky rituals, the offbeat comfort of Treehouse of Horror, and the strange relief of embracing what doesn’t quite fit. I talk about why the uncanny feels welcoming when you’ve always felt slightly out of place and why October gives permission to be odd.

A black van. A sudden sponsor read. A confident claim that a centuries-deep conflict is “done.” We play the joke straight, then let the absurdity do the heavy lifting, exposing how easy it is to accept neat endings when the truth is heavy and our timelines are tired.

A school that started behind an ink shop is bound to collect legends. We open the yearbook of memory and flip through the pages that actually stuck: a choir rehearsal that turned into a comedy sketch, a student who staged a whole-school farewell photo, and teachers whose theatrical quirks now look different in the rearview.

Welcome to a milestone moment in the Blake Cunningham Delirium universe—our very first video episode! Filmed outdoors during that perfect sweet spot between summer and fall, this visual journey introduces a whole new dimension to the stream-of-consciousness experience you've come to expect, complete with a decorative skull backdrop and what Blake self-deprecatingly calls "an extremely flattering camera angle."

I announce my new single "Wandering Hope" coming out on August 22nd on Spotify. We've reached 250 downloads on the podcast, which is exciting but highlights the financial challenges of creating content without Patreon support.
