Penny will be at SDCC, plus hiatus and crowdfunding news! 14.07.2023

Just a quick announcement for you, listeners! Penny (and her human friend Rebecca) will be working a booth at San Diego Comic Con, the Luna Sea Studios/Little Vampires booth! In the meantime, THE GORGON SHOW is going on a hiatus for a bit. Also, stay tuned, because THE GORGON SHOW is planning a crowdfunding campaign, which will mean lots of chances at extra content and ways to get involved with th...

Natasha the Rusalka! 04.07.2023

Penny chats with another aquatic guest, this one undead! Natasha the Rusalka discusses a second life in the water and the many uses of long hair. Content warning for this episode: discussions of sexual assault and suicide (non-graphic, part of rusalka lore) Natasha the rusalka sounds spookily like Haviva Avirom, who can be found on Twitter at @bardic_lady, and who sells stunning jewelry here . Pen...

Navagunjara! 20.06.2023

Penny talks with Navagunjara about the difficulties of dancing when none of your feet come from the same species, the joys of cosplay when you're naturally blue, and figuring out which of your nine component species is giving you that craving! Meanwhile, Sibyl the oracle wonders if a god is sending her a meme during the horoscope segment. Navagunjara's voice sounds an awful lot like that of Mira G...

Crikey the Knucker! 06.06.2023

Penny talks with a Knucker, recording from his knucker hole. They discuss what exactly a knucker is , what kinds of human clothing impact digestion, and certain pie-based rumours.

Johann the Snallygaster! 23.05.2023

It's time for another cryptid as Penny interviews the Snallygaster! Hear about having the same name as a certain musical snake, possibly being the only one of your kind, and the importance of saying thank you. Johann the Snallygaster sounds a little like Luke Patrick, co-host of talk podcasts Hanksy Panksy and Greeced Lightning . Penny Cephalonia sounds a lot like Rebecca Hicks, on Twitter at @RHi...

Hank the Gremlin! 09.05.2023

Penny discovers she's right about what's been causing all her technical struggles over the last year, and learns about a roommate she didn't know she had. Meet Hank!

Sibyl Corvin's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to th...

The Kraken! 25.04.2023

It's time to release the Kraken! And by release, we mean listen to Penny interview the Kraken about what it's like to be a legendary beast from the depths, the varying tastes of different ships, and the assholery of geese and dolphins.

Cath Palug! 11.04.2023

Penny interviews Cath Palug, who brings good news about a lovely place for humans to travel where you probably maybe won't get eaten!

Penny Cephalonia sounds a lot like Rebe...

FEED DROP: HG Wells Has His Regrets! Episode 6, Charles Dickens 28.03.2023

And being smart about it, used it to interview favorite authors from throughout time! In th...

Gatos the Taotaomona! 14.03.2023

Sibyl Corvin's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Jaci Szilagyi, who twitters at @jeky...

A Golem! 28.02.2023

Sibyl Corvin's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to that of J...

Anansi the Spider!! 14.02.2023

Penny overcomes her fear of spiders to talk to the Spider, Anansi! Listen to an actual god talk about stories, webs, and googly eyes, and to Sibyl make a questionable bargain with the divine.

Conel the Lusca! 31.01.2023

Sibyl Corvin's voice bears an uncanny resemblance...

The Ozark Howler (a.k.a. Gregory) 06.09.2022

Penny is delighted to introduce her very first cryptid, the Ozark Howler! They tell her all about their morning routine of laughter yoga, where the name "the Ozark Howler" comes from, and what barbecue sauce goes best with human flesh. The Ozark Howler's voice sounds unsettlingly like Xan Wyngraf, whose tweets you can read at @inXanityTTRPG! Penny Cephalonia sounds a lot like Rebecca Hicks, on Twi...

Special Minisode from San Diego Comic-Con! 23.08.2022

This week is really something special, a series of recordings from the floor at SDCC! Penny chatted with monsters, probably-human creators, and other folks around the con!

The Gelatinous Cube sounds kinda like Collin Smith.  Mothman vocally resembles Kalli...

Cerberus with all their heads 09.08.2022

Penny interviews Cerberus, guardian of the gates of Hades (a little less strenuous since Hades got a doorbell with a camera)! We hear from all three dog heads, plus the snake tail. Penny and the heads bond over having snakes who often won't shut up, the horror of knife-wielding fleas, and a general dislike of certain humans. All of Cerberus's heads sound quite similar to the talented Brenden South...

Uisce the Selkie 26.07.2022

Penny interviews a charming shapeshifter named Uisce (call her "ooooh!"), a selkie! She's an elephant seal with her skin on, human when she rips her skin off. And she gets along a little too well with Sibyl the oracle...
