H. P. Lovecast Podcast

New episode of H. P. Lovecast Podcast is online!

This episode is a little different. Michele and I have been inundated with lots of projects which took up the month of November. To accommodate this, we’ve decided to spread our 80s month over November and December and push our programming back a month. However, we took the opportunity to talk about all the various projects we are doing (NanoWriMo, AnnRadCon, MAPACA, etc.). It’s not often we get to talk about our selves and what we are working on, so here is a nice opportunity we made for ourselves. The episode can be streamed at our BuzzSprout website or via your podcast app of preference.

MAPACA Conference – Vikings/Acylum Presentation

This past week was the Mid-Atlantic Popular and American Culture Association Conference. I gave a presentation titled “Victory Or Valhalla: Violence via Vikings Sampling in Acylum’s Kampf Dem Verderb.” The presentation continues the same scholarship from my Gladiator/industrial music sampling essay (that is to be published in 2022).

I am not 100% sure what I am going to do with this presentation. It’s really reduced to fit in the 15 minute timeframe, so I am thinking about overhauling it and getting it to proper essay length and submitting it to a journal. For now though, I’ve recorded a version of it and uploaded it to YouTube (unlisted) for the time being. Feel free to watch and let me know of any feedback!

Recent Acquisitions

A few years late and a dollar short, but I finally got my paws on a copy of the Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey art book.
