After a car crash in the early hours of the morning, grad student Ichabod Crane finds himself trapped in the small town of Sleepy Hollow, NY, while his car is repaired. Cataloguing his research and interactions with the locals, including the enigmatic waitress Katrina and mechanic Brom, Ichabod finds himself pulled deeper and deeper into the bewitching nature of the town and its urban legends, becoming increasingly entangled with one ghost story in particular: The Headless Rider of Sleepy Hollow.
Based on “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving.

In this season break episode, Connor is joined by a special guest - online cosplayer and video essayist MaukusNoise - to discuss Guillermo Del Toro's recent Frankenstein adaptation, and the symbolism, craft and care that can be interpreted in the film and its creation! Alongside a discussion of the film, the pair discuss Mauku's upcoming fantasy-adventure audio-drama The Black Dog, and delve into their experiences with creating a podcast; adapting to the medium, how other creative experiences shape that process, and the creatively challenging trials of writing, editing, casting and more.

A special thank you to MaukusNoise for joining us for this episode!
