30 Morbid Minutes: A New Audio Podcast

Big announcement today! I’ve spent the last few months developing and working on a new podcast called 30 Morbid Minutes. It’s been professionally fulfilling and personally fun, not to mention a joy to work on alongside my friend, co-host, and after-life partner in crime, Jessica Vasami. 

Each episode of 30 Morbid Minutes investigates a morbid and macabre topic, person, place or event, pulled from history and the headlines of today; a curious examination of the dark side of life, if you will. Yes the material can get heavy, and the research dense, but there’s humor along the way (when appropriate!).

You might be asking, “why THIS podcast, you creeps?” Well, let us explain!

30 Morbid Minutes unites my general interest in all things macabre and spooky (you got me there) with Jessica’s insatiably curious personality. Fun fact about me: I’m an awful sleeper and often find myself awake at 3 AM spiraling down Wikipedia and Reddit rabbit holes, reading about some stuff that quite frankly no one should do at any time of day. And Jessica’s just so darn curious that she can’t help but ask a gazillion questions, so she’s the ideal candidate and journalist buddy.

Even though I feel like I know some of these topics, after doing the research it’s clear that we’ve still so much to uncover. And our first season certainly runs the gamut. We explore everything from sleep paralysis demons, to obituary bandits, to spirit and Ouija boards, to Victorian funeral customs, and more. Far from the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the bottomless well of creepy and unexplained topics, I know, but that’s what season two is for!

And now for a disclaimer. The goal of this podcast isn’t just to satisfy some morbid curiosity, or grisly fascination, or to sensationalize. At the heart of 30 Morbid Minutes is a study of human nature, of history, of mores and culture. The topics we explore serve as a catalyst for introspection and critical analysis of our world, be it good, bad, or somewhere in the gray. And it’s a teaching and learning place; I know I’m personally learning a lot while researching and writing the show, while also really enjoying the process.

So subscribe on your podcast platform of choice and join us on this informative albeit unsettling journey.
