Chris and Chad are just as entertaining as the stories
I have just discovered this and their precursor HP Lovecraft podcast and I am in awe, as my title suggests Funny, Creepy and Informative - thank you both for enriching my day(s), best Regards Ali
Been listening since 7th grade; 10 years ago now!
Insightful and absolutely hilarious look at weird fiction. Starting out with the stories of H.P. Lovecraft, it has now moved far beyond him, and delves into many well-known and lesser known authors. The hosts are comedic geniouses, but while there are a ton of laughs to be had, they always treat their subject respectfully.
Since I have to Patreon feed, I forgot to subscribe to the SSofSS feed! Five stars!

This show blends deep literary analysis of weird fiction with lively discussion, guest readers, and occasional expert commentary. Across episodes, hosts dissect narrative technique, genre history, and how stories influence games, film, and culture, often pairing sharp critique with playful banter. A standout pattern is the ongoing integration of live readings and guest voices (from writers, performers, and game designers) to illuminate texts, alongside occasional pre-launch or crowdfunding updates for related projects. This mix makes it appealing to listeners who enjoy rigorous literary conversation, genre history, and the theater-like joy of hearing stories read aloud and brought to life by diverse voices.
