Castle Lingus

Dear, sweet, Castle Linguists: it is with verra heavy hearrts that we tell you that this is the last Castle Lingus episode. But fret not, ghost lovers; we shall rise like a phoenix from these peat-smoked ashes into a new, spooky-tale podcast: Ghoul Talk. We know that like The Most Rev. Wakefield, you love a good ghost story as much as the next fellow. So join us there...if you dare...

In the second of our Very Special Hallowe'en Season episodes, Castle Lingus takes on ANOTHER serious, very serious, spooky tale about a mysterious creature. Stay tuned for one more Very Special Episode coming soon!

In the first of our Very Special Hallowe'en Season episodes, Castle Lingus takes on a serious, very serious, spooky tale of demon dogs. Fans of other serious, very serious, podcasts on spooky lore may find themselves in a familiar place—because, you see, parody, is the sincerest form of flattery.

We're back for another etymology episode and to celebrate the arrival of September. Oh, and you'd better believe we're going to tell you some spooky tales too. Stay tuned for more juicy content, and prepare yourselves for our Hallowe'en eps. It's (almost) the most wonderful time of the year!

And we're back for a special episode of Castle Lingus, featuring Lindsey and 'Daniel' (who definitely hasn't been replaced by a dead-ringer of a replicant, no sir!). Anyway, come with us beyond the pale as we delve into some etymology, followed by some ghost stories, and some general spooky pop culture stuff that's been happening since we've been gone (Stranger Things! Witches!). And finally, we resolve our four-week cliffhanger about Stephanie Seymour's fate in November Rain!

In Outlander's season 2 finale, the story plays out in two separate, but equally important time periods: 1746, where our heroes face heartwrenching obstacles; and 1968, where our hero faces a bratty ass daughter and a murderer/bestie. Be captivated as Daniel and Lindsey engage in an intense Battle Royale over science fiction vs fantasy, Brianna's acting talent, and the fate of Stephanie Seymour in the November Rain video (R.I.P.). We take almost as long to review it as the finale episode itself! Who did it better? You decide. Actually, I'll tell you: They did. Also, because we value your terror, we tell a couple juicy spooky ghost stories, this time in honor of The Most Reverend Wakefield, who loves a good ghost story as much as the next fellow (R2DTooSoon).

Happy 40th, Castle Linguists! Thanks for sticking with us for this long, ya crazy diamonds! In our penultimate Outlander-review episode of the year, we discuss Season 2 Episode 13 - "Hail Mary." But don't worry, in addition to getting into the finer points of Outlander, and begging for Tobias Menzies to get an Emmy, we also go off topic and talk about a ton of other stuff. This happens again during and after our ghost stories, where we put in plugs for some current Women Who Are Crushing It (not that they need it). In that vein, check out: 'Full Frontal with Samantha Bee' on TBS, '2 Dope Queens' / whatever her future Comedy Central show is with Jessica Williams, and Jacky St. James' 'Submission' on Showtime (especially if you've been missing the steam on Outlander this season). Also, get ready to check out the forthcoming spooky-sexy Victorian period piece, 'The Living and The Dead,' coming this fall. Should we review it?? Answer that question and SEND YOUR GHOST STORIES to [email protected], and if you have a minute, write us an iTunes review while you're at it!

Oh boy, Castle Linguists, this week's episode of Outlander is BONKERS. Join us while we celebrate the camp that is Simon Callow, and then go wildly off-topic for a while, probably (definitely). Then, the ghost story streak continues as Lindsey and Daniel both read ones from some of our dearest acquaintances (reddit) and we get a spooooooky visit from a VERY special guest. Send us your ghost stories! [email protected]

On this week's incredibly late episode, Daniel and Lindsey go almost immediately off-topic in the best way before getting things back on track and diving into the ups and downs of Outlander's first big onscreen battle of the Jacobite rebellion. Then Lindsey regails (or should I say re-GHOULS???) us with a brand new Personal Experience ghost story and Daniel drops a tale from Falmouth, Maine.

What's this? Three episodes with ghost stories in a row? That's right, Linguists, we're keeping the streak going, and we're only a day late with the episode (this time it's Daniel's fault!). We'll also of course get into the most recent Outlander episode, and go wildly off-topic with some other podcast episodes. We really need some new ghost stories, so make some up, ask your friends, or whatever you have to do, and send 'em over to [email protected]!

Welcome back to very birthplace of castle lingus (the sex act, not the podcast, although I guess it's the SPIRITUAL birthplace of the podcast for sure), Scotland, Castle Linguists! ANYWAY, what will Claire and Jamie get up to now that they're back in the highlands? Will Daniel and Lindsey get genuinely scared while telling and making fun of ghost stories from Reddit? Will they go wildly off-topic after a very short review of the episode? Will Daniel ever get better at writing these episode descriptions? Listen in to find out!

Late but worth the wait! This week Lindsey and Daniel rally from exhaustion for one of the best eps. Do you listen to the podcast for ghost stories? Then you're in for a treat, as there are some good ones! In it for really insightful media critiques? They knock that out of the park as well. All that and more, in this episode of Castle Lingus! Send us ghost stories! [email protected]

We’re back for another emotional rollercoaster to celebrate our Very Special 34th Episode. To celebrate, we'll talk about Outlander and spooky things. Guess it's not that special after all! Don't forget to call The Big Listen at 202-885-POD1 to recommend us!

We're coming in hot for another week of watching the episode RIGHT before we record our review! But don't you worry, Castle Linguists, we will skillfully unpack the Untimely Resurrection as if our very podcast depended on it. Also, our ghost talk segment returns after a week off for some new terrifying Personal Experience tales from Daniel, and some travel-related spookiness from Montana and Cambridge, MA. Get scared! Also, if you like the podcast, make sure to call The Big Listen and leave a voicemail recommending us at 202-885-POD1. Thanks!

We're back with another juicy ep! Jamie and Claire finally do it like the old days, Claire reveals the big news to Jamie, everyone gets poisoned, and there's some terrible sexual violence! Also, the Bonny Prince Loverboi has some lady troubles! ALL THIS AND MORE (can you tell I had no idea what to write in this description, or what?).

Three weeks of timeliness in a row; we're working harder than Jamie over here! On this week's episode, regular guest Technical Difficulties takes the day off, Claire tastes some pee, Bouton sniffs out some puss, and we wonder about need for certain nuns to be friends with certain famous composers. Then, in the mostly ghostly section of the show, Daniel shares some new true-life horrors for your listening pleasure.

In this week's episode we follow the gang to Paris where the character count instantly doubles, and our heroes immediately get to meet every Royal VIP that they need to in order to advance their plans. Apothecaries, dildos, idiots, nipples, and constipation. You'll also get to hear the dulcet tones of the Monster Mash yet again with the return of our ghost talk segment, and friend of the show Techie D. stops by during the outro! Check out the visual guide to this week's episode over at castlelingus.com in the Blog section, make sure to hit us up at [email protected] with your ghost stories, Outlander comments, corrections, or whatever else, and please review us on iTunes and tell all your friends!

Welcome to Season 2, Castle Linguists! The #Droughtlander is over, and Catroina, Sam, Tobias, Lindsey, and Daniel are all back (with special guest, technical difficulties)! In this Very Special Episode, we will talk about Outlander AND NOTHING ELSE (okay, maybe a few ghost references as well, to stay on-brand). Make sure to hit us up at [email protected] with your ghost stories, Outlander comments, corrections, or whatever else, and please review us on iTunes and tell all your friends!

Welcome to 2016, Castle Linguists! Lindsey and Daniel are back with a review episode for the long-awaited film, The Witch. A spooky, atmospheric look at seventeeth century New England that's full of spookiness and women defying gender norms and expectations. It's like they tailor-made this for us. Also, we'll talk about Outlander's forthcoming return, leprechauns, and premonition dream ghosts. Make sure to hit us up at [email protected] with your stories, favorite / most terrifying scary movies, or whatever else.

Ho-ho-horror, Lindsey and Daniel are back for a very special holiday episode that actually ends up being scarier than the Hallowe'en episodes. Whoops! We'll get into some first-hand tales of terror from Thanksgiving, holiday lore, and some special stories from kith and kin. Thanks for listening, and see you all in 2016!

Lindsey’s back in the Castle Lingus Studio for a very special episode all about Daniel’s hometown haunts! GET IT? We’ll dig deep into the revenants of one of Washington’s most-haunted buildings, venture out into the burbs to meet a disappointing pervy orb in Old Town Alexandria, talk about some potential friends of Inez Clarke, drink some champagne, and have a visit from a very special guest.

We're kicking off our Countdown to Halloween (TM) (OMG WE ARE SO JAZZED) with "witches", history lessons, cursed towns, and one host's spooky personal experience from one of the hosts! So grab your broomsticks and come fly with me (us), Dorcas!

Moving. It's everyone's favorite activity. Especially in the summer. Awkwardly lifting heavy shit into a clanky-ass van, then carrying same shit up a bunch of stairs. Can you say PARTY?! Daniel's upcoming move (into a sw8 old house with a sw8 (potentially) spooky story) has inspired this week's theme. Some ghosts are already "living" in your new (to you) house; some ghosts follow you; and SOME ghosts try to steal your pancakes. Listen up, Castle Linguists - prepare to be mOOOoooOOOved. RIBBIT

Imagine being magically whisked away to…Colorado. Hi, we’re in Colorado. For the latest Castle Lingus all-ghost episode. Prep your ovens for high altitude, babies – we’re baking up some ghooostly tales, full of haunted hotels (UGH, AGAIN), kinky numbers(TM), nuns back in the habit, and scary little girls. Summer’s dwindling down, folks – let’s get hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh on spooky stories!

Keeping up with the ghosts-only SLAM DUNK streak, this week we feature ghostly tales from South Dakota, that prairie paradise. Undoubtedly the best Dakota. I'm not even joking, Do I look like I'm joking?! No, dipshit, but I DO look like the kind of person who chooses to go on vacation to South Dakota. That's right: I'm an 80 year-old white biker guy, swathed in leather, eating steak and potatoes for every meal. But anyway, this isn't about me. It's about YOU. And it's about ghosts. (JK it's always about me.) On offer this week: a haunted hotel, a scairt mama's boy, a cowboy stalker, AAAAND a special appearance by the Mailman himself - Kevin Costner.

SO LONG, SKYPE! We’re doing this one mano a mano. TWO MEN ENTER ONLY ONE CAN LEAVE. Nah, that’s not true, I don’t know why I said that. Anyway, this week we bring you a very special all-ghost episode of Castle Lingus from Castle Lingus Studio’s Chicago Bureau. Add three new listener submitted tales of terror, some Chicago ghost lore, cryptozoology, our first foray into field reporting, and some grade-A horsin' around, and you’ve got yourself a podcast. This podcast!

In this episode of Castle Lingus: Summer Editionz Lindsey and Daniel review the Oscar-Winning film, Braveheart, because what the hell, right? Is it hard to run with a boner? And what’s with that hair? Later on in the show they tell some freshly-submitted ghost stories, talk about Mad Max, and women on U.S. currency. Don’t forget to rate/review us on iTunes, and send us your ghost stories at [email protected]

Highlander: not a prequel to Outlander. Did you think we would stop talking just because Outlander is over for the season? You thought WRONG, ya ding dongs. We kick off this series of summer special editions (CANNONBALL!!) with Highlander - the worst movie ever made. Or that we've seen anyway. Steaming pile. And as always, some juicy spooky stories and long-winded, semi-coherent rants. Featured: women's world cup, the new Anita Hill documentary, and rape apologists.

Guys, this one is dis-turb-ing. Claire and her Highland Crew save Jamie from death, but not from that bastard Randall. Just a real piece of s***. UUUUUUUGGGHHH And my god, the hair in this episode. This ain't a Pantene pro-v commercial, that's for sure. Plus Lindsey and Daniel read some REAL spooky stories - we do it all for you, babies.

How does that song go? Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows - everything wonderful is what I feel when we're together! Yeah well, this episode is the opposite of that. Daniel digs deep into the mind of a straight up DICK, while Lindsey calls for Emmys all around. Plus we share tales of demonic basements and haunted hotels, then take a little jab at sexism in Hollywood. Yes, AGAIN!

It's wild ride for everyone this episode! Our heroes take to the road to rescue our other hero - using good cop/bad cop interrogation, song and dance, and amateur-hour bribery. BONUS: probably the first and only instance of CGI breast milk on a tv show! This show, guys. It's one-of-a-kind. Plus, Daniel terrifies everyone (mainly Lindsey) with the real-life inspiration for the Exorcist. OTHER BONUS: Mother's Day-themed feminism rant. Um, yeah, ya welcome.
