Reginald the Vampire: After Sunrise

In this episode, I break down Episode 4 of Reginald the Vampire’s first season with Mandela Van Peebles (who plays Maurice) and Savannah Basley (who plays Angela). These two were so much fun to chat with. We talk about how horror has a way of telling deep truths in covert ways, the power of entertainment in social change, and what it was like to live in the 1970s for an episode. (We also talk about the odd vampire orgy scene even though it wasn’t in this episode because c’mon; of course we had

This was a super fun discussion. If you were a listener of the old Self Publishing Podcast, my chat with fellow co-host Sean Platt and I will give you all the nostalgia feels. If you weren’t, though, there are worse ways to learn about self publishing than this discussion between two O.Gs who’ve seen it all.
