The Pit of Ultimate Dark Shadows podcast

Hope you all enjoy this possible last show. If I can't get the help I need, this may be the last one I can finish. Please help.   [xoiscythe@hotmail.com]

Write your own summary, thanks! Please write to xoiscythe@hotmail.com Whatever, whatever, blah de blah

Just letting y'all know how I am, which is not good, of course. 

Continuing old retrospectives on to EPISODE SIX! "Coffee, Tea and Cribbage"! The audio drama begins as Tony and Carolyn find the perfect place to stow away Angelique’s painting, and Carolyn ponders on a pen, wondering if it’s one that took up too much air time in contemplation long ago. Captain Daniel Gregg inquires of his old friend, Andre’ DuPres, well… what the heck is going on and why is he wi...

Background sound provided by podcast Skull Bottle Sorcery #184 WITH kind permission! (On Soundcloud and youtube) Brief updates with me and why we’re still focusing on the earlier Radio Drama episodes in retrospection. This podcast coincides with the original script release date. Why “The Prisoner” element was added, it was NOT just-for-fun: It was due to Josette’s Music Box tune being lifted from...

Brief updates with me and why we’re still focusing on the earlier Radio Drama episodes in retrospection. Focus on Ghost and Mrs. Muir fandom and it’s loose relationship with Dark Shadows. Reactions and non-reactions I received. Ghosts and Mrs. Muir novel understanding, etceteras.  Background details of how Episode Four “Captain Gregg Gets Bent” was conjured, including the title. Gong through what...

Describing what the entire show is about and an aside about hard copies of shows, etc. being better but more difficult to obtain. (DVD’s LIVE!)  Why I’ve become calmer even as it might disappoint listeners(?) Describing both the episode and the very first review I ever received, yay! Some rambling of how everyone gets hopped up on hype. Also the incident back in 2014 on a group and how the design...

Going over the summary of the second radio drama episode in The Pit of Ultimate Dark Shadows. Then eventually I discuss the commentary as well as why changes for the better are occurring. How the Kids In The Hall hosts are acclimating to the differences and oddities. Drips of how knowingly being “despised” I just keep going? Well? It’s happened before! Going through various options with the supern...

Another Update what I've been working on and a Farewell to Lara Parker. Rest in Peace! My usual attempt to figure out what people want to hear and what about and how I really don't know and why and HOWDY get in touch and here is how, etceteras.  My standard blather, really. Take care everyone!  (And read Henry Huggins, get some true pain!)

After I introduce the usual show description I continue to blab with irritation at something that will likely shock people (minus the haters who will be pleased) when I tear-up the untouchable covenant of “Freedom-Of-Choice” which is not bestowed at all human births but given in a very delicate balance of many things we rarely take into account. Many people who were denied several choices as teena...

The usual rigmarole of what the show is about and why it was originally shared, of course. From scene scene in episode 19 is explained and discussed going through listeners thoughts to each scene one at a time.  Plenty of emphasis on Bewitched characters Samantha and Endora and how they feel about what they're witnessing via DS characters. Diabolos gets plenty of attention as well, along with Nich...

Diving into the details of how Episode 18, Braving The Waters was created, including the goofy stuff for Sir Simon Milligan ala Mad Max and a recent loss. Additives of The Kids In The Hall references and characters for this episode will be included. Further explanation of Andre DuPres and Captain Gregg’s ghost-time friendship prior to and after Andre’s reincarnation as Sam Evans in The Pit series....

Hello and I dive into a pep-talk about anti-fans and the unfortunate lack of choices we had in this situation. (Hopefully the previous podcast caught you up with the main topic of the whole show.)  Next I go for the scene by scene topics hitting on a little love for The Kids In The Hall with Milligan and Hecubus. Plenty of trivia involving all fandoms from Beetlejuice to The Munsters to Dark Shado...

Introduction to me and the podcast, what it was originally created to present. (This will likely sound even more calm than my first six episode intros.) Some of the pitfalls and touching on the anti-fans as well as an invitation to turn this show off if you don’t enjoy it. ^_^ Recognizing how freedom and choice were removed in recent years thanks to surveillance and persuasive technology. This tak...

What my show is about, etceteras. Addressing the unfortunate topic of Anti-Fans… How my show is very different to the soap-opera it is based on, accordingly to what we all need to do to heal: CHANGE THE DESIGN . It’s not to decimate “villains”, it’s to alter the DESIGN of everything! :) Persuasive tech works easier on fans of soap operas due to the continuation-with-no-resolution. It is, sadly lik...

Milligan and Hecubus appear to discourse their usual updates and introduction. Amy and David enter the Collinwood breakfast room in which David’s father, Roger, responds to their questions very distractedly. Mrs. Johnson has more to serve along with some sage words. Prior to her governess role, Maggie stops at home in the Evans Cottage to inquire for help from Captain Gregg via her father, Sam. Co...

Introduction to what my show is about. The difference between “The News” and “Hype” Solving problems could be much faster after all of that. Tools: Turning off all distractions. Relaxation comes next…  (Suggestion of a free noise-canceling album. ) Little Kids or Children’s books/stories. (I kid you not.) Daydreaming Words: day-dreaming the word you’re listening to. Going up the ladder: Working fr...

On the off-chance this is the most important character in the World... So here we are encountering Dark Shadows fans who felt ostracized for, um, knowing all the trivia? Yep! HOW BIZARRE! If you understand who Josette duPres IS? No, you aren’t “all-alone”. It means: You are a fan. (duh) “NO ONE is gonna ‘come and get-ya’... it’s fricken TEEVEE!” Insisting on Julia/Barnabas in “Dark Shadows” is AS...

Just some whatever crap updating you of what we're working on with Madam Findley = Andrea Martin... things like that, and Darrin Stephens being influenced by Roger Collins on the order of "In order to cope, you just crack jokes, like I do!" And various other things about the various things to make sense of things. And "The Exponential Growth of Laura Collins". That was feckin' FUNNY, people! What...

Delegating the dates and times of when textual episodes and when audio episodes are shared.. Then when further fandoms are included: The Kids In The Hall, Clue, The Ghostbusters, Poltergeist, The Golden Girls, The Ghost And Mrs. Muir, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Beetlejuice, MASH, and so forth… Hawkeye, Beetlejuice, and we continue onward… Saving Mr. Wells, and adding “Bewitched”, of course,...

Milligan and Hecubus appear to discourse their usual updates and introduction. Returning to the West Wing, Amy wonders about Quentin as David wanders in. David convinces Amy to leave and return to her room and have a séance in which they could bring Quentin to them. As they do, the new governess, Maggie Evans, approaches to both send David to bed and tuck Amy in, with memories about Amy’s brothers...

You wanted it? You got it!  This podcast is marked [EXPLICIT!] We know Tito from my husband’s high school days… Tito very much enjoys the Dark Shadows 2012 film because he doesn’t know the old show and frankly, doesn’t care! He came over as my husband and I were playing dominoes. It was pretty cool! Instructions on how to differentiate real hate from “manufactured hate”. (It’s actually pretty simp...

Plenty of “Doctor Who” study updates here… Touching on Douglas Adams and the compliments I received over the years with my own creations that were similar to his.  “Stones of Blood” commentary enjoyment and “The Key To Time” scenarios we’re watching currently… Discussing our loss of ability in digesting the narrative form. Very, very tragic! (If one is being rewarded to be rude, yeh, y’arent’ gonn...

DS Annotations is back up and my involvement with that. Much love to Saramonster! Continuing narrative between The Pit and Osheen Nevoy’s “In Darkness” along with kind words from Helena Clara Bouchet. Also why I found a Hoffman/Stokes romance made the most sense. Next segment for beloved pen friends: postage stamp updates, things coming out and so forth. Alternative social sites by using a search-...

Personal updates and discussion with a beloved pen friend as we chatted over the phone, including Doctor Who, and the goofiness of the villains therein. Going over books I’ve been listening to and enjoying. Working on Hoffman/Stokes romance and consulting Helena for help. Bad things and good things in pairings and enjoyment. Reading notes about “House of Dark Shadows” from another pen friend who i...
