Call of Cthulhu in 2025? 🥹

S Jayne Bradley

Oh wow, Stitcher, now defunct, was where I found this podcast

smonker the bonker

Any excuse to listen to this series a 5th time this year!

This classic episode reminded me of seeing the Call of Cthulhu at the H.P. Lovecraft film festival in Portland, right after it came out. I bought a copy, maybe from one of you, before I knew better? Shortly thereafter, I met the love of my life, and she suggested we exchange DVDs to get to know each other better. She lent me “Sliding Doors”. Guess what I lent her? As a result, I neither passed or failed her test. I think I confused her so badly that she agreed to marry me. It’s almost two decades later and we’re still going strong. If I had to do it again, I would’ve lent her “The Whole Wide World” about Robert E. Howard instead. It has a happier ending.

Great to hear this one again in mega-mix format. Obviously the story and the episodes are outstanding … although even after 15 years of reflection, the cloven sunfish comparison stil as inscrutable as ever. Keep up the great work, lads!

So glad this got the combined treatment like you did for Dracula. While I can't claim to have been listening to the cast since episode one, I know it was before this point that I jumped in, because I remember this series dropping. Was it your first story taking multiple parts to cover? Downloading episodes onto my IPod and listening with headphones at work. Been 15+ years listening to the cast now and it is a proper delight. Now to enact the rites to ensure fifteen more. Ia! Ia! Podcast Fhtagn!

It’s been a long, long time since I last listened to this series (or returned to your Lovecraft shows). What a blast from 2010! We were all so much younger then, and to think all that would come that you all referenced in these episodes. Maybe I’ve read too much Shea or others inspired by good ol HPL. But one stray thought I had while listening is that the compulsion by the Norwegians to murder the crew of the Alert is not unlike the sacrifices to the Elder Gods required to prove the way for them to enter our world. This is similar to the sacrifices in The Pool, or Nemo Me Impune Lacessit. It seems like the actions of the characters are what’s required to generate enough fear and death to make it possible for Cthulhu to move into our dimension. It’s a great literary device. What do you guys think?

I came across this podcast earlier this year, after listening to the wonderful HPLHS audiobook a few years ago. I’d first read the books in my teens, back when I was improving my English through fantasy and sci-fi. Since then, I’ve powered through 731 episodes (at 1.3x speed) in just four months, starting from when you were both younger than I am now. It’s been a surreal experience—reliving the COVID era, Chris moving to the UK around the same time I did (I ended up in H.G. Wells country, in north Surrey), and somehow he managed to keep his accent! It’s always amazing to hear the legend Andrew Leman - who, in a way, is the reason I ended up listening to this podcast in the first place. Now, on my 45th birthday, I’ve finally caught up and am listening in real time. In a way, it feels like I’ve stayed young just by listening—Dorian Gray style.

I think you're bang on and it adds another level.

I was gobsmacked -- GOBSMACKED! -- when I watched James Wan's AQUAMAN and the villain Black Manta ambushed Aquadude and Atlantis Chick while yelling "Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men!" That's quite a nonsequitur to shout at your enemies. When I heard that Wan's next project was THE CALL OF CTHULHU, I wasn't surprised. Apparently that fell through. Don't know if it was due to the loathsomeness or the decay. Or the tottering!

It's a Ghost.

Did not have a dream about Cthulhu last night, but I did have a dream that I was sitting around a very large table with a bunch of other people at an old, somewhat run down mansion, when one of the other people at the table stood up and held up a copy of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, which he said was given to him by the owners of the mansion. He then went around the table asking each of the other people what they thought about the book, and to my amazement, everyone seemed to have read it and to have a well thought out opinion of it!

Another annual listen (along with the full reading) for when I teach the story every fall to art students a few blocks from Wilcox's house. Glad to have it as a single episode!

It's the tottering. Always the tottering.

Paul Meagher (Ma-her)

On re-listening, I can't believe that somehow we slipped past the 100th anniversary of the rise of R'lyeh from the ocean floor (February 28, 1925), the liberation of Cthulhu by the crew of the Alert (March 23rd) and sinking again on April 2nd. I feel like I should have baked a cake.

Imagine, if you will, that the non-human throat that originated the name were turkeys. The Call of *TURKEY NOISE*

Brian Pitt

Love this one. I keep coming back to listen to the middle part--like you all discuss, the quote about "They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky" is really the genesis of so much cosmic horror that comes afterwards.

Fredrik Bridell

Regarding how the books he mentions are real books: some years ago I was digging through a thrift store when I found a pocket edition, in Swedish, of Frazier's The Golden Bough... I guess sooner or later some nerd like me was bound to find it and go OH MY GOD, but... It's still such a niche thing. I can't really believe there ever was a time that somebody went ”hm, let's translate this to Swedish and make a paperback edition for the masses”.

REO Jackwagon

Seriously WHY isn't this one my Google calender?
