The question: What does it mean to "get lost" in a book? Asti's answer, drawing on her research in nineteenth-century neuroscience and spirit mediumship, amounts to a genuine weirding of the act of reading. Asti Hustvedt is an independent scholar and writer with a… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE8828331095.mp3) ## Episode 216 – Artworks Are People Too _2026-07-22 · Weird Studies_ "Now and then, a mysterious life and potency will flicker out of an artwork and confront you." So began "Artworks Are People Too," a talk Phil presented at the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute earlier this summer. In this episode, JF and Phil discuss the implications of this idea that some artworks break the mould of the inanimate and act as persons in the world. Are artworks mere creations,… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE6173631157.mp3) ## Special Episode: Make Art! _2026-07-08 · Weird Studies_ Owing to circumstances preventing us from releasing a new show this week, we are offering you one from the archives. This episode was originally released on our Patreon in March 2026. In it, we discuss the splendour and squalor of Victorian London, kung-fu bobbies, the (mis)alignment of society and technology, post-apocalyptic optimism, the emancipating genius of tabletop roleplaying games, the… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE2591407290.mp3) ## [对话吴思：从中共统治、中美关系到人机之争，“顶残原则”就是暴力最强者说了算｜季风播客 EP.19](https://jfbooks1.substack.com/p/ep19) _2026-06-25 · 季風書園 JF Books · 季風書園 | JF Books_ “风能进、雨能进、国王不能进，那套产权概念根本不适用在中国。” [Listen](https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/200328475/63f01c04d686a4e4d21cfffc2f5b726c.mp3) ## Episode 215 – Where No One Can Hear You Scream: On Ridley Scott's 'Alien' _2026-06-24 · Weird Studies_ In this episode, JF and Phil discuss Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror blockbuster Alien. Together, they wipe off the patina of familiarity that beclouds the film, restoring it to its original weirdness. What is the organism that terrorizes the Nostromo? What's its relation to technology, evolution, industry? How does it differ from the monsters of older horror classics? How does one interpret… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE7913758005.mp3) ## Episode 214 – Fortune's Fools: On Gordon White's Philosophy of Fortune-Telling _2026-06-10 · Weird Studies_ It was with heavy hearts that Phil and JF learned of Gordon White's passing. Gordon was a force to be reckoned with: as an author and podcaster on all things occult, he offered unique perspectives and provocative interpretations at every turn.

Available only on the author's website, it's the story of a washed-up surf rocker who stumbles into a cosmic conspiracy involving elite cultists, post-apocalyptic cowboys, renegade magicians, and three-eyed djinn. In this episode, Manning's work serves as a shining example of what makes comics such a… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE2908514395.mp3) ## [5 kap. 3§: Justitieministern under luppen](https://soundcloud.com/jf-podden/justitieministern-under-luppen) _2026-05-24 · JF podden interjuris_ Joel F har fått möjlighet att intervjua justitieminister, Gunnar Strömmer.

What becomes of art and humanity when they are allowed to vary independently of one another? Which serves which, and to what end? In this episode, JF and Phil discuss Glenn Gould's style and vision of music through the lens of François Girard's memorable 1993 film, Thirty-Two… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE5430903625.mp3) ## [对话冯客：重返鲜为人知的苏联侵华史，共产主义如何征服中国？｜季风播客 EP.18](https://jfbooks1.substack.com/p/ep18-fengke) _2026-04-30 · 季風書園 JF Books · 季風書園 | JF Books_ 在每八千人才有一个追随者的年代，红色黎明如何在中国升起，最终征服了四分之一的人类？ [Listen](https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/194454011/e09007b1f090ffe901c3e368e495a13f.mp3) ## Episode 211 – You've Always Been the Caretaker: On Kubrick's 'The Shining' _2026-04-29 · Weird Studies_ In this episode, Phil and JF discuss Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Shining. That they are doing this eight years after starting the podcast is weird in itself, so fundamental is Kubrick's "chamber epic" to the modern weird in general, and the hosts' specific interests in particular.

Richards _2026-04-08 · Weird Studies_ In this episode, JF and Phil bring together two visionary essays on the daimonic and the imaginal: Cristina Campo’s “On Fairy Tales” and M.C. Richards’s “Wrestling with the Daimonic.” What emerges is a conversation about imagination, personhood, and a world shot through with meaning. Notably, this episode opens with a discussion of what your hosts mean by "imaginal."

Tolkien's 'On Fairy Stories' _2026-01-14 · Weird Studies_ For Tolkien, fairy stories are not stories about fairies, but stories that take place in Faerie. And in doing so, they make Faerie present. They are not escapist fantasies but disclosures of a real mode of being and invitations to live in that mode. In this episode, Phil and JF explore the great writer’s radical claims about the nature of story, life, and reality.

It proved lively enough that they’re trying it again nearly a hundred episodes later.

Though written as a quick “Christmas crawler” to earn a bit of money, the novella has exerted an incalculable influence on art and literature.

P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu,” a story foundational not only to modern horror fiction but to the very idea of the Weird. In revisiting this tale of forbidden knowledge and cosmic ambiguity, the hosts reflect on Weird Studies itself as a “slow piecing together of dissociated knowledge” that mirrors the work of Lovecraft’s own… [Listen](https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/PHTE2334330114.mp3) ## Episode 199 – On Michael Jackson, with Shannon Taggart _2025-10-15 · Weird Studies_ Photographer and paranormal researcher Shannon Taggart joins JF and Phil to explore the phenomenon that was Michael Jackson.

Bryn Chainey’s Rabbit Trap is psychological horror in the tradition of Repulsion, Jacob’s Ladder, and Angel Heart.

In this episode, JF and Phil revisit The Blair Witch Project, the classic 1999 found-footage film that inspired a thousand imitators. What makes this film so gripping, they argue, is the way it lingers over the subtle stages of disorientation in a hostile place, from blithe denial to devastating gnosis.
