Welcome to a special mid-hyatus edition of Weird Studies.

This is J.F. Martel.

With the first flagship show of the new season still three weeks out,

originally recorded for our Patreon supporters.

If you aren't yet a Weird Studies patron, but would like to join our community,

please visit patreon.com forward slash weird studies.

We release a bonus episode for listeners to your patrons every off week. This special drop is also an opportunity for me to invite you, dear listener,

to an event that Phil and I are just about to host on WeirdoSphere, our new online learning platform.

On Thursday, December 19th, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, we will hold our special

winter solstice celebration, an evening of storytelling and discussion this year exploring

the age-old tradition of the midwinter ghost story. The story will be reading live with musical

accompaniment by Weird Studies resident composer Pierre Rive Martel, who makes all the music you hear on the show, will be M.R. James's Lost Hearts, a classic.

for listening to Weird Studies this year. We wish you a happy and safe holiday season and look forward

to continuing the journey with you in 2025. Without further ado, on with our holiday bonus,

waiting for the next sentence. We hope you enjoy our conversation. The In the episode that's coming out next week, we talk about methodology, right?
