Podsothoth: A Lovecraft Book Club
Podsothoth is a horror and comedy podcast dedicated to the works (and foibles) of H.P. Lovecraft, hosted by recovering goth and internet D-lister celebrity, Tod Beardsley. Every Lovecraft story will be covered over two episodes each. First, Tod will read the story with minimal production, and ideal for people who just want to hear Lovecraft's words. This is the horror part. Following each story is a discussion of, about, and around that story, and have plenty of jokes and giggles. This is the comedy part.

3: The Statement of Randolph Carter
Tod reads H.P. Lovecraft's The Statement of Randolph Carter, which was first published in the May, 1920 issue of The Vagrant, and republished in the Februrary, 1925 issue of Weird Tales. Discussion about this story will follow in the next episode. Please be aware: this story contains a masculine relationship with a power imbalance, descriptions of Florida swampland, and a police interrogation of a suspect without a lawyer present. If you feel that any of these subjects might unduly bother you, please stop listening now.
The source of the swamp ambiance is "Swamp Sounds at Night - Frogs, Crickets, Light Rain, Forest Nature Sounds | 3 Hours," by Dark Ambiance at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih4_1FyVjaY.
