Whipping the Podcast Feed Into Shape

I have never before had this difficult of a time getting a podcast feed to work properly.  Back in the old days, I hand-coded the RSS feed in a text editor.  That was easy enough to do, as that site only updated once a week.

I have also re-organized the right side navigation bar, and may continued to do so through the next couple of days.

Finally, because one of the podcast directories requested it:

My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-b40fa525915e4d74b4345883dc9649bb}

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Work Week Tarot Reading, February 21-25

Hello!  I am hoping to start a new feature with the Dark Arcanum site.  That is to draw three cards and provide you with a work week tarot reading!  Of course, it just wouldn’t be fun if the news was cheerful.

That is why, this week, I am using the Dark Grimoire tarot deck, inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft.  What does your week hold?

Last week:  The five of Swords.  Hideous agents of strife have been trampling too many of your plans and ruining too much of your best work.  It seems no matter how hard you run, you just can’t hide from their malicious intent.   Not to worry, though, for today starts a new week.

This week: The Hanged Man.  Change is coming, even if you need a proverbial noose and suicide note to invoke it.  Now, don’t literally kill yourself for any reason.  Relax.  Take it easy.  Enjoy the breeze beneath your toes.  Let everyone know that if they’re so damned smart then they can do the work themselves.  Watch a change for the better unfold.

Conclusion: 9 of Swords.  Congratulations.  By making those incompetent beasts re-examine their treachery through treachery of your own, you became your own breed of monster.  Don’t think too hard about it, but do enjoy the serenity of a job well done.

Whoops

I got so damned involved in writing tonight’s story that I forgot to actually read it to anyone!

I’m in the planning stages of more features for this site.  The obligatory film review will be one of them.  You can’t have a horror site without film reviews!  It’s just unheard of!

I am also thinking of a little something to start off the week for us working stiffs.  I mean, the stiffs who are still somehow animate.  Cognizance is entirely optional.

More writing, more revisions, more features.  All these promises of more under an excuse for offering you less.  This perversion of logic may itself have been birthed in the darkest wells of my private Arcanum.

Go enjoy the darkness.  It will only last a few hours longer.  Then wake up and delight in the sun.  We may as well.

Podcast – The Other Race

The Other Race.  Dark Arcanum is moving back to dual podcast/live show format.

…he was shocked to see the woman’s sillouette in the street light. Her head was distorted in such a way that she could have been born wearing a crown. The shape made her look alien or – more probably – inbred. She wore only a loosely crocheted sweater that hid very little of her body…

Live Show – Another Race

I am very proud of the sound in this – Another Race.

“You are going to see wonderful things.” Timothy barely had time to register her comment against her visible flesh before she lowered the trunk over his head.

Timothy would never hear another train again.

I have also recorded the audio separately to be used as a podcast.  Although it won’t be as polished as the prior podcasts, there will be an actual mp3 podcast to hear again.  Hopefully the tradeoff will work for the time being.
