The Vermont-based media company, Purging Talon, known for its caustic and controversial output throughout its almost 16-year history, has released the first episode of its all-new podcast, known as Terror Transmission.

Terror Transmission is a free podcast program dedicated to horror cinema, particularly classics of the genre and/or those hidden gems begging for rediscovery. Each episode, your hosts will select a film and view it, while providing listeners with real-time commentary, behind-the-scenes ephemera, and a dash of ribald humor. This creepy cocktail will then be edited down to its best elements and presented to you. Other material related to the world of horror will also be featured when deemed applicable.

Terror Transmission is hosted by Matt G. Paradise and Jason B. Andreasson. Paradise, Executive Director of Purging Talon, is both producer and co-host of the show. An avid horror fan for four decades, Paradise’s knowledge of the genre is extensive. Since the early-1990s, Paradise has also had a wealth of experience in the world of media, including self-publishing, network TV, terrestrial and Internet radio, podcasting, and much more, including design and maintenance of this site. Jason B. Andreasson is your other co-host and researcher for the program.  A largely self-taught expert in all genres of horror, he has viewed well over 3,000 horror films, and is currently working on a book devoted to all of this misspent time in front of the idiot box.

Terror Transmission can be heard from both its official website and Apple’s iTunes Store.
