They say all good things must come to an end- and if there’s
one thing I’ve learned over the past few years it’s to enjoy the good things
while they’re here, because they won’t last forever. So it is with much sadness
that I bid a fond farewell to the RUE MORGUE PODCAST.
It seems like only yesterday that I wrote a very similar
post bidding farewell to the previous incarnation of this audio podcast, RUE MORGUE RADIO. THAT show was a variety show of interviews,
reviews, commentary and music of all genres, all brilliantly woven together by
the talented Tomb Dragomir, who I interviewed here.
It was a fantastically popular podcast (and perennial Rondo Award Winner) that
was ended for budgetary reasons by RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE in February of
2012.
RMR
was discontinued, but in its stead rose
THE RUE MORGUE PODCAST. I wrote an article about the new RMpodcast here
back in Feb of 2012. Hosted by Stuart Feedback Andrews (and occasionally
side-kick Last Chance Lance), the Rue Morgue Podcast featured interviews with directors, actors,
and artists from the horror community, as well as contests, commentaries, music and more. It was always entertaining and one I looked forward to regularly.
Feedback's interviews were always interesting and insightful…and influential, as a horde of imitators follow in his footsteps. He was a true innovator of horror talk radio - and a true champion of Women In Horror Month, and I think his show played a big part in helping to spread WIHM's message.
169 episodes later Rue Morgue
comes to an unfortunate end – but rather than end this post on a down note, I’d like to
congratulate Feedback on the many hours of entertainment he’s provided, and the
legacy he’s left behind.
So to Feedback, and The
Rue Morgue Podcast, I salute you. I hope you continue to produce more podcasts, Feedback - especially Cinephobia-radio, your side project/podcast of which I'm a big fan.
