Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he recounts his nightmare adventure of getting his fingerprints taken for a new job, and how the great cyber hack of Birmingham’s City Hall is still going on three months later. It’s a good example of “analog horror” that the kids are all talkin’ about!







Also: what is “analog horror,” and why is it everywhere on the Internet? How it’s evolved from films like Ghost Watch (1992) and The Blair Witch Project (1999) to creepypastas, Slenderman, and whatever the heck “the backrooms” are. I also talk about how we’ve gone in one generation from vehemently not selling out to aspiring to pimp out Hello Fresh and Squarespace. Plus much more, including a quick discussion of “The Quarry” video game.
