On this episode we speak with Dr. Goth and Brit about goth music! How do we identify what is goth music and what isn’t? How does countercultural music resist tyranny and oppression today, as it did in the 80's? How do camp and The Gothic empower the powerless? We’ll speak with Charles Mueller about his PhD in Historical Musicology and the parallels between goth of today and the climate goth emerged from in the 80’s.
The Nahanni region in Canada's Northwest Territories has a nickname - The Valley of Headless Men - because several decapitated bodies have been discovered over the years.

Our big themes this week are identity and community. What is a goth mindset? Are all goths neurodivergent? Are goths feminists? What's in Dani's goth pocket?

We summon goth with our bodies, our movements and our emotions. Like a ritual under a full moon, a room full of spooky kids invoke the spirit of goth itself.
