The FrankenPod - A Gothic Literature and Cinema Podcast

I have only listened to one episode (Harry Potter).

This will be on the top of my podcast queue.

Currently listening to first Penny dreadful episode!

Frankenpod dives deep into the gothic literature you know and the super obscure stuff you've never even heard of. Every episode, I learn so much about gothicliterature. It's fun, it's informative, and it's great.

Yes, gothic is more than just Mary Shelley (but she’s wonderful too, of course). Join Morgan and Brent as they chat about the the more macabre side of films, television, and literature, from classic to contemporary, offering historical context and witty comments along the way. I especially love their quick-fire game of “Everything Is Gothic, Unless It’s Not, Then It’s Something Else.” Is Pirates of the Caribbean gothic? Pitch Black? Listen to find out and learn/laugh along the way. <3 The Indoor... more

I love any kind of dissection of a genre, particularly a podcast that breaks down why scary things are scary. This podcast has some VERY intelligent conversations about Victorian literature and its influence in today’s media. It’s great!

One thing that really works with the podcast is intersectionality of topics and research in miniepisode format. Easy to process while explaining a topic in a different light. A fun POV into the gothic horror that transferred the lit world. (And the women of Frankenstein episode is fantastic!)

You can definitely tell that Morgan and Brent are really into Gothic lit because they are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Their stories and conversations are fun to listen to and also give your brain something a little spooky to think about for the rest of the day. They talk about literature that you may or may not have read, but even if you have, you will hear something new! If you enjoy Gothic themes and that uneasy feeling you get when you hear about them, you'll like this show. #ladypodsquad... more

So far, I’ve listened to the pilot episode and “Desperately Seeking Watson” and I am in love with this podcast! I love their individual perspectives as well as the merging of the novel and the cinematic/TV version. Great job to both of you! Happy to make your acquaintance!

I adore gothic and victorian mystery lit and film, so this new podcast is right up my alley. The hosts are funny and have good chemistry, the content is accurate and approachable, and the conversations are charming and often unexpected. Highly recommended!

This pod covers some of the most famous gothic texts created, from Dorian to Dracula. I love the conversations and ideas presented. Gives you a lot to think and read about.

Really enjoying the combination of literature information, history, and entertainment in this. I hope it keeps going. So many possibilities.

I'm a few episodes deep into The Frankenpod and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. What makes The Frankenpod great is their intelligence, charm, and passion about the project. Listeners to other literature podcasts will enjoy this, as will history fans, and anybody who likes accumulating random bits of knowledge. Definitely worth a listen!

Love a bit of gothic chat. Easy and interesting listen

As someone who is obsessed with gothic literature and any film, tv and pop culture connected to the genre, this is an ideal listen!

This is a wonderful, delicious podcast concentrating on the gothic genre in Literature and Cinema in a nice classical perspective. There’s no shouting, loud noises, or crass. Just simple an intellectual conversation about goth. Take a minute to listen and you will agree.

If you love everything gothic, this couple's comparison of literature and film will make you want more. The minisodes are great to learn about the different components of the genre and history. Keep up the great work!
