Lovecraft on Drunken Zombie Podcast
Thursday, December 11, 2008
"Drunken Zombie Podcast" has created an episode based on the life and works of H.P. Lovecraft for its fiftieth installment. After somewhat of a rough start, the show gets off to a Lovecraftian radio fest featuring recorded commentary from several individuals and a live dialog about Lovecraft with the podcast's hosts. Much of the material covered here won't be news to Lovecraft admirers. However, hearing commentary about HPL from an up and coming horror podcast should be very interesting to readers of weird fiction and beyond.
All in all, the podcast does a nicely balanced job of covering H.P. Lovecraft's life, historical influence on other authors, and his continuing power in contemporary culture. Several popular products of direct Lovecraftian inspiration or peripheral influence are also discussed. The podcast can be streamed at the page linked above, or downloaded in .MP3 form for high speed internet users.
