This episode I take to the airwaves myself to tell you all what I think of H.P. Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos, the impact that it is had on society as a whole, and how the elder gods are going to devour us all.

But seriously, let’s talk Lovecraft and his unintentional impact on pseudoarchaeology, is far reach into the world of ancient aliens, and his use of archaeology in his writing to create horror.
