Author: Brian Des July 9, 2021 Duration: 48:31
Episode Three, and we're looking at one final story by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. "The Murdered Cousin" (1838) is the original 'locked room mystery' and a fascinating way to look at gender power relations in the 19th century. It's got elements of Gothic and also of Detective/Mystery Fiction, this classic tale of terror may well be as relevant today as it was all the way back then.

The Gothic Banana Podcast is an audio project from artist Brian Des, existing in that curious space where creative process and finished work intersect. This isn't a formal lecture series or a polished interview show; it's more of an auditory sketchbook, a series of candid explorations from inside the studio. Episodes might feature the raw, unfiltered sounds of a work in progress, a monologue on the frustrations and breakthroughs of a particular technique, or a meandering thought on what it means to make things in a crowded, noisy world. The atmosphere is intimate and unvarnished, pulling back the curtain on the often solitary act of artistic creation. By tuning in, you're essentially getting a direct feed from Brian's creative process, hearing ideas take shape in real time before they ever reach a gallery wall or a final portfolio. The Gothic Banana Podcast offers a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective for anyone interested in the less-glamorous, more genuine side of the arts, where the focus is on the journey of making rather than just the final product. It’s a personal and reflective series that naturally documents an artist's ongoing conversation with his own work.
