Pinky Pod
Author S. Roit, having fun and shooting the sh*t on whatever subject takes my fancy, especially true crime, the macabre, occult, paranormal, supernatural, spiritualism— worlds that often collide. I include skeptics and grifters, as I’m finding the drama between people surrounding the events is often more interesting than the event!
Episodes

Don't drink silver, y'all. Blue skin.
Cryptid, or just one part insane, three parts religious frenzy, and six parts mysterious real animal?
You decide. This week I talk about the French incident that led to several movies and books, and then some gruesome "worst werewolf" countdown.

This is not your usual "documentary" approach to vampires. This is a vampire reference tool, so to speak. Or something.
For the super geeky, along with my own riffing and gushing over certain vampires, for Halloween season please enjoy this (possibly beginning of a series) maxi episode.

Because of course. You can't have spooky season without vampires. As far as I'm concerned, you can't have anything without vampires, so to speak.

You'll recognize some of this story, and the other players in said story.
