Hi everyone, Alex here with a short bit of context ahead of today's episode.

This panel on audio in horror was recorded live in late 2019 at the Pod UK festival,

with raw audio kindly provided by Pod UK. That's all for now, we hope you enjoy the episode.

Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the horror panel. This is less the panel, more a

cartographic expedition within which myself and my elite colleagues over here will attempt to

map for you some of the more interesting and innovative elements of modern podcast audio horror.

And the best possible thing we can do at the top of every doomed expedition is of course take the

photo. You know the one where people get crossed out is the polar bear either. See, same wavelength.

So what we're going to start off with is introductions and I'll have all of us explain who we are

and what we do and what kind of shows we work on. I'll start. I'm Alex Deer, your moderator for

this evening. I co-own the Escape Artist Podcast Network along with my partner, Margaret

Kenner. We produce four shows, Escape Pod which does science fiction,

Sudapod which does horror, Cast of Wonders which does YA and podcast the lit does fantasy.

I host Sudapod the horror show for a frankly horrifying amount of time. Seriously, I don't want

to think about it. I think there's a, I think I'm on the Bayer tapestry recording episode 49.

In addition to all of that, I also write about the genre of Fairamount and I've turned up in

several other voice acting capacities. Most recently as Peter Lucas, who is the unsung hero

of the Magnesiac House and I'm on film. I'm on film doing this.

On the song.

Percy, who's queen, if everyone had listened to nothing bad would have happened,

not that anything bad happens at the end of the Magnesiac House season 4.

And speaking of the Magnesiac House, Alex.
