#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #17 "The Gravedigger" (04-Feb-26).
Season finale. Will this return? I hope so as it's been excellent. I wonder if S2 will be a mad tangent like #Archive81?
Mal meets his predecessor Caldwell for one last performance evaluation.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #16 "The Spiritualists" (28-Jan-26).
A fake 19th century psychic whose clickings have come home to roost.
This was a more horror toned ep but I'm not sure we got that K-Horror like scares from the clicks at the end that we might have.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #15 "The Dollmaker" (21-Jan-26).
I didn't get into this one as much as the dollmaker felt like a character we've dealt with before. I think the idea that she sees through her dolls' eyes wasn't developed to its potential.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast 14 cont'd.
At the end Bridget returns and she hears harp music. She's Irish like we get it. Anyway I guess she's nearly ready now too?
I thought Dotson might play into an arc more but there are other threads like the crows and sci-fi writer Cecilia still usable.
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #14 "The Folk Song Archivist" (14-Jan-26).
After last week's indulgence it's back with the greatness. We meet Bridget's boss from the gilded age, Mrs Dotson, and boy she a piece of work. She ends up passing on as Mal blackmails her.
open.spotify.com/episode/26PU...
New episode of #ConversationsWithGhosts our right now! Get resolution on Bridget's story, hear about some fascinating Gilded Age history, and learn why Dan and Marc called it 'the Columbo episode.'

Happy #AudioDramaSunday y'all, no snacks this week, but next week I'll be talking @dead-signals.bsky.social's #CONVERSATIONSWITHGHOSTS, @starstriderpods.bsky.social's #DRACULA2004, @theameliaproject.bsky.social's killer S5 finale, @andasproductions.com #CatSkull and #DCHIGHVOLUMEBATMAN.
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #13 "The Folk Song Archivist" (07-Jan-26).
As soon as I saw the title I knew this'd be niche bro fare with a song. The theme of lost history was here I concede.
If ever I want music in a pod, which I won't, I can do Night Vale. Sadly.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #12 "The Cab Driver" (31-Dec-25).
How is this show so good? I don't even want to analyse why every ep of this pod is sensationally clever and rewarding.
We get a bit more arc creeping in too as this world is getting fleshed out.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #11 "The Tammany Hall Politician" (24-Dec-25).
Great ep as Mal talks to a wheeler dealer politician.
I didn't realise the Democratic party was Catholic. Of course the Retardlicans are Prods because of course they f-ing would be.
open.spotify.com/episode/18Vu...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #10 "The Comedian" (17-Dec-25)
Strong ep even if thematically this wasn't focused on lost history but delved into mental health.
The resolution of the ghost did feel a bit samey.
Will the sci-fi hack become an antagonist in later eps?
open.spotify.com/episode/5aqP...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #9 "The Mass of Ghosts" (10-Dec-25).
There are some consequences from the interfering with the crows' funeral last ep.
Here the entity is several ghosts combined as one. A Ghostalt entity if you will. Ahhh I'll get me coat!
open.spotify.com/episode/76E7...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #8 "The Assistant Director of Horticulture and Wildlife" (03-Dec-25).
Mal finally talks to a living human. A good contrast as the woman is a git so harder to talk to than an actual ghost!
Thought the crows would be more of a threat.
open.spotify.com/episode/0s49...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #7 "The Science-Fiction Writer" (26-Nov-25).
Another great eo. A female sci-fi writer who was pretty talentless. The interludes where she recites her sci-fi stories but the endings are all let down by sheer banality is excellent.
open.spotify.com/episode/1eJ6...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #6 "The General" (19-Nov-25).
This continues to be top quality.
This ep's historical ghost is a French revolutionary general who has a statue of him he doesn't like. Part of the fun is working out how Mal gets the ghost to pass on.
open.spotify.com/episode/3jNm...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #5 "The Raver" (12-Nov-25).
A delight.
Marc isn't an actor but that's ok as the ghost of the week is who we are interested in. But it is good how Marc grounds the story as it is mostly all he can do with his talent so yes this works.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #4 "The Baseball Fan" (05-Nov-25).
The ghost is a man after my own heart as he refuses to pass over till the Brooklyn Dodgers return.
Again a lost history is being presented and again excellently portrayed by the pod.
My baseball thoughts...

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #3 "The Maid" (29-Oct-25).
The ghost is an Irish maid.
It seems she was a supressed lesbian?
Again the history is well researched and inserted excellently.
Not every ghost passes over it seems so I wonder if that will be relevant?
open.spotify.com/episode/4Jtm...
#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #2 "The Faded Spirit" (22-Oct-25).
I like how the ghosts belong to lost eras of real history. Here it is a woman from a time before New York when just New Amsterdam exists.
We get arc continuity with that Onyx Door mentioned again.

#ConversationsWithGhosts Podcast #1 "The Motorman" (22-Oct-25).
Marc Bollinger still has that great banality that made #Archive81 work. This feels in-universe!
As audio horror this leans into #TheMysteriousTraveler and a sprinkle of the gold standard #QuietPlease!
open.spotify.com/episode/4kck...
A really fun episode of #conversationswithghosts this week! A super Brooklyn vibe for this one, @marcsollinger.bsky.social had a blast researching all the old timey baseball facts.
If you haven't checked out #conversationswithghosts, the new podcast from the creators of #archive81 - you absolutely should. It's available wherever you get your podcasts, and there's three episodes already in the feed, with a fourth one coming tomorrow.
It's here! They kept it well hidden but man, getting a couple of days to relisten to S1 of Archive 81 and then diving into the first 2 episodes this morning has been great.
Feels like there is so much to unpack already, i can't wait to hear more
