Seattle Geekly: H.P. Lovecraft in "Geekdom"
Saturday, August 8, 2009
The folks at the "Seattle Geekly" podcast have just released an episode about H.P. Lovecraft. The focus of their Lovecraftian broadcast is on the role played by HPL in 21st century "geek" culture, a niche group with very deep roots in the techno-boom. From the rise of the internet to today, the broad sub-culture has drawn its influence from almost everything involving technology, games, and learned pursuits in arts of all types. Naturally, this has led some members of geekdom to H.P. Lovecraft, and occasionally the broader weird by extension.
This "Seattle Geekly" program contains interviews with Lovecraftian commentators: Eric Morgret, K.L Young, and Jenna Pitman from the film and magazine industries weigh in on the grand weird author's immense influence. Like most podcasts, it's available for easy listening at home or on the go as a MP3.
