Just in time for “spooky season,” join us for our October Speaker Sessions with Cam Collins, co-creator of the Old Gods of Appalachia, an eldritch horror fiction podcast set in an Alternate Appalachia, a world where these mountains were never meant to be inhabited. This world feels eerily similar to the hills and hollers we’ve grown up with, but there are some tell-tale differences. Names of towns and counties may be altered. Historical events slide forward or backward in time. And then, of course, there are the monsters… We will be talking to Cam about how she and her co-created built this Alternate Appalachia, the myths, legends, and folklore that inspired it, and so much more!
Please note: For those attending virtually via YouTube, the live stream will originate on the Radio Bristol YouTube channel after 6:50pm EST. If you load the channel page before 6:50pm, and the live stream does not automatically appear, please refresh the page after 6:50pm.
About Cam Collins
Cam Collins is a native of Wise, Virginia, where she cut her teeth on the creepy folklore of the region. A lover of all things that go bump in the night and dyed-in-the-wool spooky witch, Cam also produced and co-hosted Appalachian Arcana, a podcast featuring regional stories of folklore, true crime, cryptids, and other general weirdness. Before Old Gods of Appalachia took off, she provided graphic design and web development for numerous businesses in the Tri-Cities and beyond.
