  • A stellar podcast

    Agatha is warm, funny, and highly knowledgeable as a librarian and lover of all things gothic. She is the reason I found my favorite book of 2024, The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy. This podcast is excellent for a casual book nerd as well as a great professional tool for a librarian: as someone who is both, it’s doubly helpful. You can’t beat a woman-centric podcast centering horror, romance, and the gothic. Definitely recommend more people listen!

    Everything about this podcast is so lovely… As a librarian myself, the Readers Advisory aspect is tops!

    As a now very-anxious-about-the-state-of-the-world-person, the cozy part is so, so welcome in my life. Thank you Agatha Andrews, thank you.

  • Interesting guests and themes

    Recently started listening on my commute, and I really like the genres it sticks to, as well as the host having insightful commentary. I only wish the audio were a bit better. I try to listen to this when commuting and have to crank up the volume all the way because the audio is more soft than other podcasts. Perfect for in the house but maybe not on the road.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E227: Dark Academia Fantasy with Lynn D. Jung
Q: I'd love to hear from you, your thoughts on what you think fantasy brings to the genre and what appealed to you as a writer rather than the strict real world Dark Academia setting.
Jung says fantasy expands the genre's setting and metaphorical possibilities, allowing writers to examine elitism and institutions through magic, ghosts, and imagined worlds.
E227: Dark Academia Fantasy with Lynn D. Jung
Q: Why don't you let everybody know what Mothsblood is all about?
Jung describes it as an adult Dark Academia Fantasy set in Paris, following an ambitious young alchemist who wants immortality but is derailed when an immortal professor is murdered.
E226: Collecting Book Cover Art with Skye Lacerte of Swann Auction Galleries
Q: So for anybody who's interested in buying, what's advice you have? What's some things you definitely want them to know?
Lacerte recommends visiting an auction preview and talking with auction-house staff, or joining mailing lists if visiting is not practical. She also advises buyers to read the fine print and account for additional fees.
E226: Collecting Book Cover Art with Skye Lacerte of Swann Auction Galleries
Q: So what can you tell us about how this works?
Lacerte describes registering with the auction house, joining its mailing list, reviewing the catalog, and bidding live online, by advance bid, or by phone. Buyers can also contact the gallery about unsold items after the auction.
E: 224: Art in Gothic with Madison Tyler Nelson
Q: I'd love for you to tell listeners about this choice.
Nelson explains that Tatum's connection to art is intertwined with her ability to see spirits. Tatum initially treats both as potential curses, but gradually discovers that artistic creation and helping the dead can connect her to others and have a positive impact.
