If there’s anything good to come out of this pandemic (and of course that’s a cosmically huge “if”), it’s new virtual platforms like Zoom that have allowed us to connect from our homes and phones with greater ease than ever before.
Those platforms made October 2020 one of the busiest months of my life! Not only did I have the usual amount of interview requests as a Halloween expert, but my new book Calling the Spirits: A History of Seances generated a lot of interest as well.
I’m posting here a list of all the interviews and panel discussions I did in October that were recorded. This list doesn’t include appearances that were either not recorded or that haven’t been posted yet (I hope to have a few more of those to share soon, particularly a presentation on seances I did for the London Fortean Society). I also hope that at some point The Travel Channel will make their excellent Shock Docs: This is Halloween special available via either streaming or DVD.
Enjoy!
