HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's me, Jared, your DC producer who writes these wonderful captions and runs the socials. I was honored to be asked by Lindsey to come on my own show and talk about my love of gateway Horror movies and little monsters. I have always aimed for Dagger Cast to be raw and real, and it was very cool to actually sit in the guest chair and experience a conversation with our wonderful host. We also talk about how our podcast started as well as the music supervision work I did on Departing Seniors with my production company, Nite Smoke (which is begins streaming and showing in select theaters on February 2nd)! This is very much a Dagger Cast alumni film and we are so excited for everyone aboard. We have a lot of great ideas for guests this year and love making our little show. We hope you enjoy this little meta episode to start off the year! Stay cool, stay scary, stay weird, friends.

DC2024 Episode 1- Jared Olson

It's April? Ok! Hope you're all stoked for this episode cause we have the one and only "Front Entity" from Chicago's new-wave-loving  indie darlings The Baby Magic! If you've ever seen Mary Beth perform you will know that she is full of surprises and she certainly  kept Lindsey on her toes throughout this discussion. She talks about her love of pacing in films and my goodness that is incredibly important! Mary Beth lives and breathes art and is one of Chicago's most interesting and eccentric performance artists. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we had making it! Go buy the new Baby Magic Vinyl at their band camp page and FREAK OUT!

DC2024 Episode 2- Mary Beth Brennan

Happy Spring fellow Dagger Cast witches and warlocks! For our new episode we have Lilly Choi from Chicago darlings Chicken Happen ! Lilly and Lindsey discuss Asian representation in Horror as well as what movies shook Lilly as a kid. This is a fun conversation between two very talented singer/songwriters about our favorite genre. You can see both of them perform alongside Bleach Party and NITE SMOKE on June 13th at The Empty Bottle! See you there? Awesome!!! ****We would like to dedicate this episode to Steve Albini for our music scene in Chicago would be ordinary and boring without your existence. We hope to see your ghost on a late night walk through the NW side, your spirit as restless as ever. Gone too soon. RIP. 🖤. #chicago #band #podcast #representation #film #horror #punk #rock #piano #trio #chicken #happen #chickenhappen
