Horror Queers co-host Joe Lipsett – who by the way celebrated a birthday this week… Happy Birthday, Joe! – will be one of the guest hosts for upcoming podcast The ALTER Tapes, we’re excited to let you know, coming from a partnership between the podcast arm of independent female-run site Anatomy of a Scream & Grim Journal and Gunpowder & Sky‘s ALTER.
The weekly podcast is dedicated to horror shorts, and will be hosted entirely by POC, LGBT+ and/or female identifying podcasters. Joe Lipsett tells Bloody Disgusting in a statement, “Shorts deserve greater recognition in the horror community, so it’s a perfect topic for discussion, especially one fueled entirely by marginalized members of the horror community.”
“Each week a new pair of co-hosts will watch a short film from the free streaming platform, ALTER, and discuss its themes, production and scares in their own candid, irreverent, and often hilarious style.”
The rotating list of co-hosts will include…
- Sharai Bohannon (Nightmare on Fierce Street, Dread Central)
- Jazz Crawley (Girl That’s Scary; Dread Central)
- Dax Ebaben (Watch Once, Never Again; Bloody Disgusting)
- Ryan Kinney (Brother Ghoulish’s Tomb)
- Joe Lipsett (Horror Queers; Bloody Disgusting)
- Adrian Rodriguez (Slash Her)
- Bobby Torrez (Bobby Likes It Spooky; The People Under The Scares)
- Kat White (Girl That’s Scary; Dread Central)
Anatomy of a Scream and Grim Journal Editor-in-Chief Valeska Griffiths explains: “Short films offer viewers a different kind of storytelling perspective and we wanted to highlight the great work that is occurring in that format. This new initiative is an exciting opportunity for new and varied conversations with our great roster of co-hosts.”
The first episode will be available Monday, February 14 wherever podcasts are streamed.
