Episode 35 has arrived, what a time to be alive.

What a week we've had! This episode has been whipped up just in time for you lovely lot.

First we ask ourselves which horror films we wouldn't bother giving a second watch. TW: controversial opinions.

Hannah talks us through some of the more gothic style choreograph stylings of Kenneth McMillan. He covered it all, smashed some boundaries and strayed from the ballet structure.

Chris then takes us for a swim around one of Edinburgh long lost lochs. Join us, the water's disgusting.


Glasgow’s atmospheric streets provide the perfect backdrop for A Wee Bit Gothic, where hosts Chris and Hannah explore the darker corners of culture and history. This isn't a scripted lecture; it's a conversation between two friends who’ve been drawn to the macabre and the melancholic since they were young. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a dimly lit pub, listening as they weave together topics that might seem disparate but are united by a gothic sensibility. You’ll hear them delve into infamous true crime cases, dissect the brooding themes of classic and contemporary literature, and share stories of haunted places and the architects who accidentally built them. The discussion might pivot to a film that captures a particular shade of gloom, all filtered through their personal perspectives as creatives living in a city that embodies its own gritty romance. The charm of this podcast lies in its authentic, meandering curiosity-Chris and Hannah aren’t presenting definitive guides, but rather sharing their own thoughts and reactions, making the eerie and the unsettling feel strangely welcoming. It’s for anyone who finds beauty in the shadowy, the historical, and the tragically human, all delivered with a distinctive Glaswegian warmth that contrasts beautifully with the dark subject matter.
