Extremely thoughtful talk of goth

I've been listening to and supporting this show for years. It's a long form interview and discussion podcast on the Goth subculture, that also features music and other media recommendations. The host Dani is extremely well read on aspects of philosophy, sociology, and the history of the culture. Co-host Trey is always a fine compliment with lived experiences, a wide variety of musical expertise, and thoughtful contributions to discussions. The variety of guests and subjects is global, diverse, and a mix of new and old artists and participants in Goth culture.
Evergreen topics are "What is Goth?" "Goth as intersectional identity" and every guest is introduced with how they got into the subculture.
The music recommendations are also great places to start for people new to the genre(s) and folks bored to death with their 80s albums.

The journey thus far...

So in total honesty, this is one of my all time-fav podcasts. As somebody who has never been able to find the right space to express themselves properly, hearing about this subculture internationally has given me the drive to actually start to explore it locally. Thank you, sincerely. ♡♡♡
