The Pit of Ultimate Dark Shadows podcast

Continuing old retrospectives on to EPISODE SIX! "Coffee, Tea and Cribbage"! The audio drama begins as Tony and Carolyn find the perfect place to stow away Angelique’s painting, and Carolyn ponders on a pen, wondering if it’s one that took up too much air time in contemplation long ago.

Captain Daniel Gregg inquires of his old friend, Andre’ DuPres, well… what the heck is going on and why is he within this Sam Evans...

Brief updates with me and why we’re still focusing on the earlier Radio Drama episodes in retrospection. This podcast coincides with the original script release date. Why “The Prisoner” element was added, it was NOT just-for-fun: It was due to Josette’s Music Box tune being lifted from an episode of The P...

Brief updates with me and why we’re still focusing on the earlier Radio Drama episodes in retrospection. Focus on Ghost and Mrs. Muir fandom and it’s loose relationship with Dark Shadows. Reactions and non-reactions I received. Ghosts and Mrs. Muir novel understanding, etceteras. 


Background details of how Episode Four “Captain Gregg Gets Bent” was conjured, including the title. Gong through what happens in the ...

Describing what the entire show is about and an aside about hard copies of shows, etc. being better but more difficult to obtain. (DVD’s LIVE!) 

Why I’ve become calmer even as it might disappoint listeners(?) Describing both the episode and the very first review I ever received, yay! Some rambling of how everyone gets hopped up on hype. Also the incident back in 2014 on a group and how the design of FB messed things...

Going over the summary of the second radio drama episode in The Pit of Ultimate Dark Shadows. Then eventually I discuss the commentary as well as why changes for the better are occurring. How the Kids In The Hall hosts are acclimating to the differences and oddities.


Drips of how knowingly being “despised” I just keep going? Well? It’s happened before! Going through various options with the supernatural, what t...

After I introduce the usual show description I continue to blab with irritation at something that will likely shock people (minus the haters who will be pleased) when I tear-up the untouchable covenant of “Freedom-Of-Choice” which is not bestowed at all human births but given in a very delicate balance of many things we rarely take into account. Many people who were denied several choices as teenagers will be gratified to ...

The usual rigmarole of what the show is about and why it was originally shared, of course. From scene scene in episode 19 is explained and discussed going through listeners thoughts to each scene one at a time. 

Plenty of emphasis on Bewitched characters Samantha and Endora and how they feel about what they're witnessing via DS characters. Diabolos gets plenty of attention as well, along with Nicholas Blair and how ...

Diving into the details of how Episode 18, Braving The Waters was created, including the goofy stuff for Sir Simon Milligan ala Mad Max and a recent loss. Additives of The Kids In The Hall references and characters for this episode will be included.

Further explanation of Andre DuPres and Captain Gregg’s ghost-time friendship prior to and after Andre’s reincarnation as Sam Evans in The Pit series.  Building up  the ...

Hello and I dive into a pep-talk about anti-fans and the unfortunate lack of choices we had in this situation. (Hopefully the previous podcast caught you up with the main topic of the whole show.) 

Next I go for the scene by scene topics hitting on a little love for The Kids In The Hall with Milligan and Hecubus. Plenty of trivia involving all fandoms from Beetlejuice to The Munsters to Dark Shadows. (And even Star ...

Introduction to me and the podcast, what it was originally created to present. (This will likely sound even more calm than my first six episode intros.) Some of the pitfalls and touching on the anti-fans as well as an invitation to turn this show off if you don’t enjoy it. ^_^

Recognizing how freedom and choice were removed in recent years thanks to surveillance and persuasive technology. This takes a very, very lon...

What my show is about, etceteras. Addressing the unfortunate topic of Anti-Fans…

How my show is very different to the soap-opera it is based on, accordingly to what we all need to do to heal: CHANGE THE DESIGN. It’s not to decimate “villains”, it’s to alter the DESIGN of everything! :)

Persuasive tech works easier on fans of soap operas due to the continuation-with-no-resolution. It is, sadly like, shooting f...

Milligan and Hecubus appear to discourse their usual updates and introduction.

Amy and David enter the Collinwood breakfast room in which David’s father, Roger, responds to their questions very distractedly. Mrs. Johnson has more to serve along with some sage words.

Prior to her governess role, Maggie stops at home in the Evans Cottage to inquire for help from Captain Gregg via her father, Sam.

Cousin ...

Introduction to what my show is about.


The difference between “The News” and “Hype”


Solving problems could be much faster after all of that.


Tools:


Turning off all distractions.


Relaxation comes next…  (Suggestion of a free noise-canceling album.
)

Little Kids or Children’s books/stories. (I kid you not.)

On the off-chance this is the most important character in the World...

So here we are encountering Dark Shadows fans who felt ostracized for, um, knowing all the trivia? Yep! HOW BIZARRE!

If you understand who Josette duPres IS? No, you aren’t “all-alone”. It means: You are a fan. (duh) “NO ONE is gonna ‘come and get-ya’... it’s fricken TEEVEE!”

Insisting on Julia/Barnabas in “Dark Shadows” is AS absu...

Just some whatever crap updating you of what we're working on with Madam Findley = Andrea Martin... things like that, and Darrin Stephens being influenced by Roger Collins on the order of "In order to cope, you just crack jokes, like I do!"

And various other things about the various things to make sense of things.

And "The Exponential Growth of Laura Collins". That was feckin' FUNNY, people! What the heck, r...

Delegating the dates and times of when textual episodes and when audio episodes are shared..

Then when further fandoms are included: The Kids In The Hall, Clue, The Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, The Golden Girls, The Ghost And Mrs. Muir, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Beetlejuice, MASH, and so forth… Hawkeye, Beetlejuice, and we continue onward… Saving Mr. Wells, and adding “Bewitched”, of course, for the resolution ...
