Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings!
Welcome to the first of Phantom Galaxy's Christmas episodes!
This time we're joined by Wes, Gabe and T-man from the wonderful 'Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast' and we're looking at the ultimate holiday classic, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and a few of it's best adaptations.
Covering everything from the effectiveness of muppet/human co-acting, the ties between Carol and It's A Wonderful Life, and whether or not Tiny Tim is actually terrible, this episode dives deep into the heart of Dickens' masterpiece and the fictional miser at it's center.
Sit back, grab a seasonal drink and snack, and enjoy!

Halloween draws near and the creeping shadows of October are already upon us. What better way to confront this season of mists than by reading some shivery and chill-inducing short stories?
The Phantom Galaxy welcomes author Victor Rodriguez to the show to help us come up with a list of the best fiction for the Halloween season. Victor discusses his own work in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy and horror and talks his short story collection ‘The Sound of Fear’ and various other projects, including his work in a brand new collection called ‘On Time’ from Transmundane Press.
Then Nathan, Bill and Victor traverse the weird and wonderful world of horror authors, stopping off to visit the likes of Stephen King, Clive Barker, Poe, Lovecraft and Charlotte Perkins Gilman with other singular and underrated voices like Thomas F. Manteleone and Robert R. McCammon.
Check out our choices, and then let us know which ones you’d choose!
