39:36 – Another of our occasional series created with AI tools, this time presenting ‘Ghost Talk’, a chat show about ghosts, apparitions and hauntings where several guest experts discuss a selection of supernatural stories culled from my site The Sleaze.

Jules Bidet introduces Dr Keith Uppock discussing the reign of terror of a resurrected Victorian ghoul in contemporary London, while paranormal experts Ash Dieback and Diane Butz discuss a series of bizarre modern day hauntings in Britain’s New Towns and housing estates. Finally, resident agony aunt the Reverend Leonard Fanny tries to get to the bottom of a listener’s ghostly experiences.

Onsug Radio 811 – The Obtuse Angle

“A man with one functional brain cell expounds upon life, liberty and the pursuit of coherence.”

“Steve Dupont was known for his rants on the Obtuse Angle podcast. After publishing his debut novel Therein Lies the Problem in 2007, Steve left the literary world behind, returning to graduate school and ultimately becoming a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist.”

Steve Dupont, from Birmingham, Alabama, produced his podcast, The Obtuse Angle, from May 2005 to June 2007. After the show ended, Steve pursued a new career as a registered dietitian. You can still find him today at stevedupont.com

In those early days of podcasting, I was a fan of The Obtuse Angle, and Steve also listened to my show, The Overnightscape. We would mention each other’s shows, send in comments and emails, and occasionally record audio for the other show.

A few months back, I thought of The Obtuse Angle and started looking to see if any of the episodes were preserved. I was immensely pleased to find that a near-complete archive had been posted to The Internet Archive by archivist “apphands” in December 2021. I found few early episodes which were missing, in another archive posted by archivist Sketch the Cow in March 2019. Then, using the Wayback Machine, I was able to build a full list of episodes, along with show notes. In the end, the archive was complete, except for four episodes. If anyone has copies of these episodes, let me know, and I will add them to the archive.

I contacted Steve Dupont, and he gave his blessing to this new collected archive of The Obtuse Angle.

The show fits in extremely well with the other shows here in Onsug Radio, and I am thrilled to preserve The Obtuse Angle for future generations.

20:09 – In a special edition of ‘Sleaze Talk’, noted festive experts Ash Dieback and Diane Butz investigate the phenomena of so called ‘Rogue Santas’ – the fakes who can ruin kiddies’ Christmases, scarring them for life. From shopping malls to department stores to rip-off Christmas theme parks, these low life Santa impersonators are a blight on our seasonal cheer.
