The Old Crone talks about focusing on your goals at Transworld. Dick Terhune returns with another Marketing Morgue segment. Is there a Gruesome Giveaway winner for the month of February? Tune in to find out, and we’re spinning some rockin’ tunes to put you in the mood for Transworld.
With Transworld literally a couple weeks away, the Roundtable of Terror brings back its annual Transworld Survival Guide. We invite first-time attendees and vendors to join us, and pair them with some long-time veterans of the tradeshow to discuss what to expect. What shoes should you wear? How many black t-shirts should you pack? And who actually brings catalogs these days? If this is your first-time attending the biggest tradeshow of the year, you don’t want to miss this conversation. All this, and so much more.
We hid the body, but you’ll become an accomplice just by listening to........the BIG SCARY SHOW. (See you in St Louis)
Featured music: PsychoCharger - Channel 13 (With Uncle Pigors) Radio Cult - Saturday Night Double Feature Zombie Surfers - Transylvania Surf Crispy Bess - Ormondium
