Hello! I m back! Yep, after nearly two years the Small World is back in action. We just heard an excerpt from The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast (http://www.hppodcraft.com), which is actually an excerpt from H.P. Lovecraft s short story, The Picture in the House. Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer are the host of the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and we ll talk with them shortly. But before we talk with Chris and Chad I m going to very quickly bring you up to speed with what I ve been up to. Back in late 2007 the Small World website was hacked. Hacked so badly that I had to nuke the entire database and start from scratch. That really took the wind out of my sails because starting from scratch meant updating the site with 496 shows. And to be completely honest, I was more than a little burnt out. I had produced nearly 500 shows and the workload was taking it s tole on me. I had to arrange the interview. do the interviews and then produce three shows a week. And remember, this is a labor of love, not a paying gig. So when my site was hacked it was the final straw. Since then I ve been producing a show called Solipsistic Nation, where I play the best of all genres of electronic music. Along with playing great music I also interview people from the electronic music community: musicians, record labels, festival organizers, etc. If NPR produced had an electronic music show then it would sound a lot like Solipsistic Nation. Producing Solipsistic Nation is a lot of fun but I ve always had that itch ti interview people about things that fascinate me that have nothing to do with electronic music. When Joe Matheny suggested that I archive the Small World on Alterati I thought it would be a perfect time to re-launch the Small World on a twice a month basis, which is a workload I can handle. You re probably asking yourself: what the hell is Alterati? Alterati is like a word that you don t know the exact definition of but you know what it means. Rather than try to explain Alterati to you right now, we ll talk to Joseph Matheny, Alterati s founder, on the next show and have him explain it. So let s get to today s show. As I mentioned, our guests are Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer. Chris and Chad produce the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and H.P. Lovecraft was a science fiction slash horror writer who died in 1937. You may or may not know Lovecraft but his writings have had an amazing impact on popular culture: from movies and comics like Hellboy to bands like Metallica and Black Sabbath. He s also had a profound impact on writers like Stephen King, Jorge Luis Borges  and Neil Gaiman. The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast treats the work of Lovecraft with a deft touch. Each week features excerpts from one of Lovecraft s stories accompanied with insightful and often hilarious commentary from Chris and Chad. Today s incidental music was provided by Veil of Thorns with the track The Reflection from their album, Necrofuturist. You can hear more of their Necrofuturistic music at http://www.veilofthorns.com We re going to keep with the funnier side of H.P. Lovecraft and close the show with a bit from Smart Bomb Radio with Cthulhu Is My Co-pilot and Tom Smith s Cthulhu Fthagn.

In anticipation of the upcoming performance of The Abattoir Pages, Joseph Matheny in conversation with John Harrigan about anything and everything that comes to their mind. All music provided by Veil of Thorns Songs, in order: And the Beast of the Vision Still Roams in Dream Intellectual Institutional Object Thought Pollution Evolution In Your Ear: Reviewing Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story Guerrilla Zoo and FoolishPeople present The Abattoir Pages, a terrifying immersive Halloween experience, hosted in a vast, secret subterranean landscape that was once one of London s largest abattoirs. The Abattoir Pages combines immersive performance, art installation, haunting and treasure hunt-style activity to form a labyrinth of mystery and horror, exposing the earliest Gaelic and Pagan rites. Once inside, audience members will be free to explore the abandoned underground chambers, join the secret party or may be caught in the middle of the most terrifying of puzzles. This Hallowe’en, the infamous horror author Helen Mayer will hold court at a debauched secret party. She will share the perverse and warped research conducted inside the old abandoned abattoir, which was the genesis of her greatest work. In this dark playground, the very nature of human terror has been tested, abused and fed into the living story The Forest . The author invites you to solve the puzzle and unlock the terrifying history within the old and powerful pages hidden throughout the slaughterhouse. Each holds a key to learning the truth of an ancient tale, which will ensure your survival. Tonight, a debt will be repaid to blood dishonoured. An eternal nightmare rises up from the depths of the dark boreal forest, in the shadow of the mountain. It comes to feed on new meat inside an old abattoir. http://www.apocryphon.org/

Joseph Matheny in coversation with Klint and Jillian from Esozone, talking about the new open source and unconference model being used this year. ========= After EsoZone Portland 2009, we will release the EsoZone Protocol, a set of guidelines similar to an open source software license that will enable organizers to host an EsoZone in their own city as long as they are free and follow the unconference model. Portland s weirdest event just got weirder This year EsoZone an annual Portland conference dedicated to the occult, fringe science, and other offbeat topics is forgoing a pre-planned schedule in favor of letting attendees create their own agenda. On October 9th, participants will arrive at Watershed PDX and collaboratively create the schedule. The event will be free and open to the public, and anyone will be able to propose a session, lead a workshop, or suggest a group activity. The approach is called unconferencing, a technique pioneered by tech-industry events. Portland has played host to a number of unconferences in the past few years, including BarCamp, WordCamp, and CyborgCamp. Event organizers Klint Finley and Jillian Ordes-Finley were inspired to transform EsoZone into an unconference after attending CyborgCamp in December of 2008. I was amazed at how quickly the schedule was put together at CyborgCamp, and how smoothly the event ran. We d agonized over the EsoZone schedule for months and were still changing things at the last minute. I was really impressed by how the whole unconference model worked, Finley says. The pair hope this new approach will help EsoZone better reach is goal: fostering connections between its eclectic and oftentimes outsider audience. Finley says This should be a better platform for getting people to interact each other, and making sure the event centers around the subject matter the attendees really want to discuss. EsoZone will use the same scheduling system used by CyborgCamp and BarCamp. Participants will propose sessions on 8.5 x 11 pieces of sticky paper and place them on a large schedule grid on the wall. The sessions can then be rearranged as necessary as attendees negotiate times and spaces for each session. New sessions can be added to empty slots at any time during the event. In order to give people an idea of what to expect, the organizers are encouraging likely participants to propose subjects on their online forum in advance of the event. However, nothing will be decided until the actual event. EsoZone will also be exhibiting esoteric art by a variety of artists. Watershed is such a cavernous space, we have room for a staggering amount of artwork, Ordes-Finley says. Although artists will be allowed to hang art the day of the event, they are encouraged to check in ahead of time if they have questions or could have any logistical issues. More information, and contact details, are available at esozone.com
