After Hours: Those Horrible Sexy Ghosts

 

Another trip 'After Hours' to meet the medium who claims to be able to match you up with your perfect spirit lover via his dating seances, before we drop into some late-night radio talk debating whether Haitian immigrants eat pets or raise zombies. The-Man-in-the-Pub, meanwhile, recalls that 'Hijab Halloween', when his friend claimed to have become the target of trick-or-treating suicide bombers. A top secret report reveals some disturbing facts about US executions - is the electric chair creating super-charged, revenge-seeking, zombies? We also drop in on the WKNR Evening News for a discussion of a possible trick-or-treat assassination plot against President Trump, before intrepid reporter Charles Coalshed investigates the truth behind reports that raw sewage being dumped in Britain's rivers is creating a strange - and squelchy - new lifeform. 

After Hours was created using FreeTTS, ChatGPT Reader and Google AI Studio. Sound effects by Freesound Community via Pixababy.com.

Another month, another episode.  As this one is being put out close to Halloween, it has an overall horror/supernatural theme.  Keeping the running time was, again, a big problem.  Having brought the last one in at just under thirty minutes, I thought that I was on target for a similar running time this edition - the first segments I recorded all came in at shorter than usual lengths, but when I put it all together, it was way over length.  So, as I couldn't be arsed to ditch some items and replace them with shorter pieces, I instead did some judicious editing on a couple of the existing segments.
