    DragonKing Dark: Time

    We focus on a listener-requested topic for this week’s DragonKing Dark podcast. What is time? Is it even real? Is it a construct of the human mind only for measuring motion — or is it a real testable part of the fabric of the Universe? The answer isn’t as clear as we would like for it…

    It’s the last day of the year! 2017 is gone and in the words of Yoda, “not short enough was it.” 2017 will be long remembered as the year no one could get along with each other, every politician was evil, the world was on the brink of World War, and you hate me and…

  • DragonKing Dark: 2017 was a bad year

    DragonKing Dark: 2017 was a bad year

    No, this isn’t a year in review, though we do talk about some of the events that took place in 2017. 2017 wasn’t the best year ever for most. Certainly not for the United States.

    On this week’s edition of DragonKing Dark, we continue our serial killer series with a man who “may” have claimed to be Jack the Ripper — Dr. Thomas Neill Cream. His claim to have been Jack the Ripper (if he even actually made that claim) seems suspect at best, but even if he wasn’t he…

  • DragonKing Dark: Ed Gein

    DragonKing Dark: Ed Gein

    Ed Gein — The Butcher of Plainfield — is the inspiration for many horror movie archetypes such Leatherface and Psycho. Gein shocks us not just because he killed, but because he also robbed graves and had a sick fascination with wearing the skins of the dead. Listener discretion is advised.
