The Dark Academicals

The Dark Academicals is a biweekly, niche literary podcast centered on dark academia. It occasionally features author interviews (notably Kat Dunn) and focuses on new releases within a scholarly, mood-driven framework. For PRs, opportunities exist mainly around author engagement and book launches, with moderate booking difficulty due to the podcast’s narrow but engaged audience.
