Hey, folks. Just thought I would check in and see if you guys had any thoughts on how the show is doing. Anything you would like to hear? A guest host you like back? A reader?
Perhaps more jokey stuff or less? More background material? More on Lovecraft the man? Or you're just liking it the way it is?
Let us know!

I've been quite enjoying the guests lately. Maybe a bit more background on the story would be fun. (I've always been a sucker for commentary tracks.  ) |

Oh, I think you are doing great.  I don't really have much to say, I trust your judgment when it comes to the shows. I've really enjoyed the readings and I enjoy the way you and Chad play "Crypt-Keeper" during the shows. I particularly enjoyed "The Picture in the House" in this regard. |

If you can get Robert M. Price back to talk about "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," or "The Dreams in the Witch-House," or just what he had for breakfast, I don't care. You just need to get Robert M. Price back.

Chris and Chad,
I will just put it this way: my wife has listened to several of the podcasts and tells me that she would love to go hang out with you both at a bar some night and just talk about anything that comes to mind. This, gentlemen, is high praise indeed, and I fully back her up on it.
The only thing I can think that I would request is a dramatic reading of "Dreams in the Witch House". I love that story and would love to hear a treatment of it done by you guys.

Another loyal cultist here, guys! You're doing great! I will just put it this way: my wife has listened to several of the podcasts and tells me that she would love to go hang out with you both at a bar some night and just talk about anything that comes to mind. This, gentlemen, is high praise indeed, and I fully back her up on it. I agree. Really, I find myself re-listening older episodes, just to be able to say "I'm hanging out with the PodCraft Boys talking about eldritch horrors and woodchucks!" Though I'd like to inquire what this wife of yours is, and why she's into creepy stuff. Sounds a lot like someone we know... Anything you would like to hear? A guest host you like back? A reader? I'd like to second Genus' suggestion - we need Bob Price back. Dunnich (YES I KNOW ) was awesome with him, I'd love to hear from him again. Also, I really miss Anthony Tedesco. He's really one of my favourite readers. |

Yeah, more Robert Price would be outstanding.
I'd add that I really like knowing where Lovecraft is at in his life in relation to when the stories were written, how much he's getting paid, who he's working with, etc. That context is always fun.

First thought: More Robert M Price, please.
Also,;:--Willie Pugmire would be a good guest. I want him to talk to Leman about Lovecraft's proclivities, in an HPPodcrat sort of way.
PPS also, Dan Harms the anti-Simon vs. Simon the Necronomiconist, the latter with poorly digitally disguised voice, arguing what this or that really means in the Lovecraft canon itself.
PPPS maybe you could cross-reference the entire period during which a story was written and finally published with a day-by-day or week-by-week or blow-by-blow chronology of what Howie was up to based on Selected Letters. I think we can extend the 'podcraft until roughly April of 2017 in this manner. Thank you.

This is by far one of my top, and my number one non-tech podcast! Keep up the great work!
I also like your overall presentation, with the sound effects, and what not. All the Guest's you have had, have all been great too!
One thing I'll say, not being a literary type, you've given me a LOT to think about. I've gone back and re-read some of his stories I've not read since high school ( 20 some odd years ). You've also sparked my interest in Lovecraft himself more than it was before. So much so, that last Halloween, my wife wanted to go to Salem, so we took time out and stopped in Providence so I could check out his grave and a few of the sites.
I'm going to be sorry for the end of Lovecraft's stories, which I know is coming. I'd love to hear a Poe podcast produced in a similar fashion, btw.
Thanks!

Well, her father was dead when I met her and her mother has a kind of "Innsmouth Look" to her... Bob |

1) More Robert Price & S.T. Yoshi.
2) That you would reconsider and include "The Lurker at the Threshould" after all......please.

I think the show has really evolved over the years (like a sarcastic shoggoth) and can't really think of much to add. I would like to hear more readings with Leman, if possible. In terms of guests I think that Joshi, Price and Ken Hite should all come back for future episodes.
Also, more ghost disco...

No complaints at all here. I love your show. More Bruce Green would be cool. His reading of From Beyond was a grand slam. And of course, more Mr. Leman. More full readings would be great, as well. Although I understand the limitations behind those, but I do love them. Just keep doing what you do |
