On The Podcast This Week – 10/10/24

On the podcast this week we continue The Month Of Spooky with more creepy stuff. On the show this time we will visit with Emma Lynn Dowd in a new segment called Stories From The Other Side. In this chat Emma and Ron will answer the question: If you could speak to a ghost, who would it be and what would you ask? The answer will probably surprise you.

From an early age, Emma has loved her art. Over the years she has used various mediums, but none was more profound than photography. She finds inspiration wherever she goes because she keeps her eyes open for things that will make the perfect photo. Emma lives in the great state of Florida, and owns and operates the radio station AMFM247. She has been putting the podcast out on the radio for the last 6+ years!

Also on the show, we have more of your stories, a historical look at the Great Pumpkin and more!

RAS #659 – Monsters

On Ron’s Amazing Stories, we’ll be delving into the fascinating world of monsters. We’ll explore their history, origins, and the stories that have been told about them for centuries.

First up, we have a segment called The Other Day I Thought. Ron will share his musings on the truth about monsters.

Next, we’ll be reviewing the audiobook American Monsters by Linda Godfrey. This book presents some of the strangest creatures known to reside in the United States. Godfrey has done extensive research on these creatures and has compiled a collection of stories and reports that will leave you both fascinated and horrified.

Following the book review, we’ll have a short story by Gregg, who shares a work of fiction he wrote titled The Monster of Gifford National Forest. This story is a gripping tale of a creature that terrorizes his family in the Pacific Northwest.

Our featured story for this episode comes from the OTR series Dark Fantasy and is titled The Sea Phantom. This story is not what you’re expecting. It’s a chilling tale of a ghost that haunts the depths of the ocean.

Next up, we have Johnny Is True: Can You Tell Folklore from Fakery?. Your challenge is to decide which facts are based on real folklore and which ones are completely made up.

Finally, we’ll end the show with an oddity. I asked Google’s Gemini to create a monster tale based on my inputs. The results were…well, you’ll just have to listen to find out.

Featured Story – The Sea Phantom

Our featured story loosely follows the theme of monsters. Dark Fantasy was a short radio series with tales of weird adventures and the supernatural. Although a short series, the stories are amazing with some being way ahead of their time. Our story today visits monsters in the form of ghosts protecting a treasure that is 100s of years old. It is titled The Sea Phantom and it first aired on January 6, 1942.

Other Stories Include – The Other Day I Thought About Monsters, Review – American Monsters, The Monster of Gifford National Forest, Johnny Is It True – Monsters, and King – A Storybook Monster
