  • Poem: Romance
    Feb 7 2025

    Send a text to the podcast

    There's nothing like a little romance to make Edgar Allan Poe take pen to paper. Today we examine a poem from 1829, which Poe wrote as a young man. It explores not only the quiet joy of having found romance, but just as well the potential of romance to have devastating effects on oneself. A torrential thing indeed.

    Times are daunting for a lot of us right now, and it can feel like we are alone. I hope this poem speaks to many of you, to any of you, and lets you know that you are not alone. Others feel what you are feeling, and know what you are going through.

  • Christmas Dinner With The Devil
    Jan 7 2025

    Send a text to the podcast

    Yes, that’s right. Victorian ghost stories are becoming a regular occurrence on The Poe Show! This time, our ghost story from 1858 follows a man who happens to dine with the devil. After dinner, the two travel to their “journey’s end” together, passing many other lost souls. James Hain Friswell wrote this spooky winter tale over 160 years ago, but the dreary and ghostly narrative is as entertaining today as it has ever been! Now, please enjoy The Oxford Ghost. Otherwise known as...Christmas Dinner with the Devil.

  • The Night Before Christmas
    Dec 7 2024

    Send a text to the podcast

    It's the holiday season, so you know I have to give you an episode all about Christmas! I took off the month of November because I've been so busy, but I'll be finishing up this year strong with two December episodes. Keep an eye out for another Victorian ghost story, coming December 21st for all who enjoy the tradition of spooky tales for the cold winter!

    Twas the Night Before Christmas comes all the way from 1823, written by Clement Clarke Moore...most likely. In this episode I'll also be giving you a little history on the poem, the controversy of its authorship, and how Santa Claus has changed through American and world culture. I also pulled out a tune I wrote about 5 years ago for this episode, which sounded perfect for a Christmas story. Lastly, I do talk a bit about AI. Just a bit.

    Now, please enjoy The Night Before Christmas.

  • Poem: The Drowned Man
    Oct 31 2024

    Send a text to the podcast

    Happy Halloween!!!
    I hope you all have a spooky, scary, fun time this holiday and eat plenty of candy. This episode is in reference to The Drowned Man series on YouTube, made my one of my favorite YouTubers, Markiplier, and Wade Barnes. If you're unfamiliar with this story, check it out in the link below. I was inspired to write this after listening to their podcast, Distractible. I think these guys are hilarious and I listen to them all the time. Just wanted to give everyone a little joke poem today. I got super busy and I didn't have time to make something longer. But I hope you enjoy this spooky poem of mine, The Drowned Man!

    The Drowned Man series starts here:
