'Words To That Effect' Podcast

Conor Reid Discussion

Words To That Effect is a literary and cultural podcast launched last June and based in Dublin, Ireland. It is a research-based, storytelling podcast with an academic expert in each episode. The show is aimed at the general public and the idea is to get what otherwise might be somewhat obscure academic topics out beyond the walls of academia.  Season 1 (13 episodes of around 15mins each) is just finished, and included topics such as:

  • The cultural history of zombies
  • Irish science fiction
  • The legacy of Robinson Crusoe
  • Victorian spiritualism and Arthur Conan Doyle
  • Nervous diseases, the American west, and the ghost story

If you'd like to have a listen, the show is on iTunes and all the usual podcast places, or at the website, wttepodcast.com 

Any feedback or comments would be really appreciated. I'm currently planning out Season 2 to begin in February.

Thanks so much,

Conor Reid
