Abe R. Rant's Guide To Petrifying Podcasts On Roku - Day 28: BONUS AUDIO "TREATS" (PART TWO) !! ;-) :-D




Greetings, Boils & Ghouls...



... and welcome to 'Day Twenty-Eight' of "Abe R. Rant's Guide To Petrifying Podcasts on Roku" where I'll bring you another Hallowe'en / Horror-related audio series from the plethora of petrifying podcasts that have been released in recent years - and which (like all others before it) you can stream to your TV via the magic of Roku media players - so, let's dim those lights... for more audio frights! :-O ;-) :-)


If you read my special hallowe'en blogathon preview - FOUND HERE - published twenty-eight days ago, then you'll know I plan to post one Hallowe'en / Horror related article each day, throughout the month of October, featuring an assortment of links to various podcasts beginning with the same letter of the alphabet on every day of the month. For the sake of simplicity, I decided to begin this series of blog posts with the letter 'A' on 'Day One', followed by letter 'B' on 'Day Two', letter 'C' on 'Day Three', and so on and so forth, right the way through to letter 'Z' on 'Day Twenty-Six'. Obviously as we've now reached 'Day Twenty-Eight', and (therefore) already reached the end of the alphabet, that leaves four more days' worth of posts... so, having put my thinking cap on over the past few weeks, I have come-up with some extra bonus audio "treats" to share with you in the remaining days of this month-long blogathon. With thirty-one posts of the most spook-tacular sounding series I can find, between now and the end of the month, you'll have lots of great choice for your listening pleasure as we count the days to Hallowe'en, as well as plenty of spine-tingling thrills & chills 'twixt now and October 31st! ;-) :-)


For my twenty-eighth post in this series I'm going to share the link to just one audio "treat" but, even though it's a single podcast series, the show has (thankfully) been running long enough to produce no less than seven "Halloween Special" episodes. So, although you're welcome to use the links below to access a complete archive of all the shows they've recorded, the "trick" (sic) in this instance is that I will be specifically highlighting the Halloween episodes for the purposes of this article. Moreover, I'll be providing links to the show notes, for each of the seven episodes, the pages for which also include a link to download an 'MP3' file of the show. As if that wasn't enough, I'm adding an extra link beside each one so you can "listen online" to any (or all) of these "Halloween Special" episodes. So, without further delay, here's my suggestion for yet another Hallowe'en / Horror-related podcast series... as I hand-out the second selection of "ear candy" from five days of bonus audio treats coming your way:-





The Dana Gould Hour: is a podcast series hosted by comedian Dana Gould, who also created horror show "Stan vs. Evil", during which he's joined in conversation by a variety of interesting personalities (including some fellow comedians) to discuss both the weird and the real going on in this world. For the most part, their "regular" programming (i.e. outside of the Halloween season) follows an aesthetic akin to Ed Wood, for a show in which all manner of ghostly, ghoulish, or ghastly topics are discussed. Being a huge fan of the genre, you can expect to hear horror-related conversation, music, and even the odd monologue, in all these episodes - no matter what the time of year - but it's during October, when the annual "Halloween Special" shows are released, that the creep-factor goes up a notch for what the host considers "the most wonderful time of the year" and then regularly produces shows of more than three hours in length, as he and his guests demonstrate an appreciation of all things horror by discussing their favourite monster movies along with other dark subject matter. There's no doubt that Dana Gould loves Halloween (and horror in general) so, if you are of a like-minded disposition and enjoy conversations about horror in all of it's various guises, these are a really fun listen! :-D ;-)

As mentioned previously, you can use any of the podcast hosting services outlined above to access an entire archive of past episodes for "The Dana Gould Hour" and, if need be, you could even search for the seven "Halloween Special" episodes by name (further details below) within those episode listings. However, by way of providing additional information about those shows plus links to listen online, I am including direct links to the show notes and 'MP3' files of all seven episodes, each of which can be streamed directly in your web browser during those times when your Roku player might not be close at hand. To keep things current, I've decided to start with the latest "Halloween Special" episode for 2019 which was released just yesterday. After that, the list continues by going back one year at a time (i.e. in reverse chronological order) as far as the original "Halloweenery!" episode which was where this annual tradition from "The Dana Gould Hour" got started. Of course, you could also scroll straight to the end of the list and start with the first one then steadily work your way back to the present. Likewise, please feel free to jump-in at some point in-between to enjoy any episode of your choosing. They are all, more or less, independent of each other... so go ahead, take your pick, and fill your lug-holes with as much ear "candy" as you can handle - it's what Halloween is all about! ;-) :-D

DISCLAIMER: Before someone pipes-up with a comment about the original "Halloweenery!" show being released on 23rd October 2012, and not 2013 as indicated above, I happen to already be aware of that minor discrepancy... but, for the purposes of this list, decided not to leave a "gap year" in the sequence that might have led to confusion over a (wrongly) perceived "missing" episode.



Meanwhile, in the event you happen to hear mention of a movie, book, or piece of music during one of these "Halloween Special" episodes, there's a library page on "The Dana Gould Hour" website that includes links to most (though not all) of those items, sorted by the episode in which they appear. Using these so-called affiliate links adds nothing to the cost of purchasing these items, but does mean a small kick-back for "The Dana Gould Hour" that will help contribute to the overheads of producing the show. So if you like what you hear, and hope to enjoy more of the same in future, please consider using the links provided to say "thank you" and support the show. I know they'll appreciate it! ;-)




*********************************************



Anyhow, that's all there is for today... but do remember to come back again tomorrow, for my next petrifying podcast recommendation, when I will provide another set of links to a further audio "treat", only next time it'll be a title (or titles) starting with a different random letter of the (horror) alphabet, for 'Day Twenty-Nine' of "Abe R. Rant's Guide To Petrifying Podcasts on Roku". Once again you'll be able to listen through one of the various channels on your Roku streaming media player(s) which were outlined in my 'Special Hallowe'en Blogathon Preview' post, that was published on the last day of September. Meanwhile... please be sure to visit the "Countdown To Hallowe'en" website and show your support for this annual online Hallowe'en extravaganza PLUS don't forget to use the links you find there and check out all the other 'Cryptkeepers' taking part this year. I know they'll appreciate it, if you visit their blogs and share your thoughts on the contribution(s) they've made! ;-) :-D



*********************************************



ONE LAST THING, BEFORE I GO: Don't forget that, aside from the Hallowe'en / Horror-themed ghastliness going on around these parts for the next month, you can also keep up with the UK Roku action (as it happens) by checking-out my regular 'Weekly RoundUp' posts each weekend where you will find up-to-the-minute info on all things Roku-related is posted on a weekly basis (well, almost).



Until the next time, then...



That's all folks !!
