Author: Chris and Hannah September 17, 2021 Duration: 1:17:32

Welcome back once again to another episode of A Wee Bit Gothic. 

This week Hannah and Chris discuss which Google holes they've been stuck in in recent weeks. Chris also divulges the details about his escapades as the next Mary Poppins. 

Hannah's story is about Eugene Marie Chantrelle. A man with eerie similarities to one Dr Pritchard from a previous episode. Eugene went on to inspire a someone to write a little book about the two sides within every man. 

Chris then takes us up to the Kingdom of Fife to look at a castle steeped in history, soaked in blood and full of lost golf balls...probably.



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.
