Ep 218 - Why Ghost Stories Matter
Episode 218
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
Jim steps out from behind the microphone to share a talk he gave at the Modern Language Association conference in Toronto, where he was invited to speak on a panel about Gothic scholarship, podcasting, and public humanities. It's a conversation about what we're really doing when we tell ghost stories. Not just entertaining, but shaping how people think about the past, life, death, and what may lie between. It's about butterflies that remember past lives, Titanic folklore that won't die, and why a zombie apocalypse in a Cold War bunker became one of our most beloved projects. Thanks to Joshua Tuttle from Concordia University in Chicago for the invite! Also: Valentine's Weekend is upon us. Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day, back-to-back.
