Calls for Cthulhu http://www.callsforcthulhu.com Breaking the minds of mankind, one call at a time. Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:53:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 ©Brand Gamblin Cthulhu.hotstud1413@gmail.com (Brand Gamblin) Cthulhu.hotstud1413@gmail.com(Brand Gamblin) 1440 Cthulhu, Elder Gods, parody Breaking the minds of mankind, and answering their calls. From the vast eldritch depths of the ocean, beyond the reach of man's petty knowledge, lies an ancient terror which waits for itrsquo;s time to rise and lay waste to mankind. In its city of non-euclidean cruelty, it is held in the sleep of the dead. Or at least, the light afternoon-nap snooze of the dead. In fact, it's just awake enough to reach out to the minds of men, clutch at their dreams, and answer their calls. In Calls For Cthulhu, the great horror created H.P. Lovecraft shows his range by hosting a call-in show, where he dispenses advice, comedy and occasional harsh justice.

This episode is going to look a little different. For one thing, It was recorded live. At Balticon 07, Cthulhu took time out to answer questions for people in real time, and in person. Because of this, the audio is a little spotty, and the Cthulhu video is a little fuzzy. Also because of this, we were able to get several celebrity guests from the Podcasting world on this show.

Before I list them, though, I’d like to extend thanks to the Balticon organizers who let Cthulhu into their convention, their lives, and their minds. Especially Paul Fischer (who you will see in this video, playing the tentacle monster). He’s the host of the ADD Cast (http://ADDCast.net).

And congrats to Earl, Dave, and all the guys at Stranger Things. You guys earned it, with a really great show.

The bad news is that it took so long, but the good news is that we are not done. There will still be many other episodes.

Enjoy.
