Episode 75 - Richard Daniels - The Occultaria of Albion

For this episode I’m joined by writer, performer and podcaster Richard Daniels. Richard is the creator of the Occultaria of Albion, a part work zine and podcast series that explores a wide range of strange goings on in locations that feel familiar but exist in an alternate England, just beyond the horizon of the one we know about.  He describes it as ‘a world designed by torch and moonlight, dedicated to revealing the truth about the paranormal’. In the interview we start by talking about how the Occultaria came into being, the way that it explores the nature of the paranormal though a fictional lens and the insights gained by doing that.  We go on to discuss ghosts, urban legends, conspiracy theories, UFOs and the weird charisma of electricity pylons, to name just a few things.  For more information on the Occultaria of Albion go to https://www.occultariaofalbion.com/.
