Radio Belbury

Jim Jupp of Ghost Box has posted the newest installment of Radio Belbury. I interviewed Jupp  in 2009 and he described his love of "the weirdness of the juxtaposition of ancient and modern, or the cosmic and the parochial," as found in the work of Arthur Machen and the Quatermass movies.


The radio show also which includes a nod to Trish Keenan of Broadcast who passed away last month. Their latest album, Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age, was garnering all sorts of critical praise.
