Plutonia Publications Podcast

Plutonia Publications Podcast is an Italian show about horror, fantasy, pop culture, books, film, and the publishing life around Plutonia Publications. It does not separate fandom from work. Reviews, catalog updates, social chatter, writing deadlines, and reader feedback all sit in the same conversational stream. Some episodes are solo film pieces, with Alessandro laying out the premise of a movie, weighing what works, and placing it inside a wider horror vocabulary. Others use the Lost Boys Show format, where two voices move through jokes, memories, side notes, and lists before settling into the real subject. The pace is brisk even when the sentences sprawl. A discussion of deadly swimming pools can jump from Lady in the Water to a pool thriller and then to Night Swim. A vampire episode can move from Sinners into Miriam, David Bowie, Blade, Stephen Dorff, and the appeal of a modern vampire rebelling against older clans. The book episodes are just as specific. They mention novelizations, Urania finds, George Romero, William Hjortsberg, Boris Bacic, Laura Costantini, Loredana Falcone, and upcoming Plutonia projects without turning the show into a formal catalog. The best moments come from that overlap: these are people talking from inside the material. The tone is friendly, direct, sometimes blunt, and rarely polished in a studio-clean way. It can be funny without trying to become a comedy show. It can be grave when the subject calls for demons, grief, death, or violent horror imagery. It can also pause for practical housekeeping: Spotify ratings, Ko-fi support, Telegram discussions, and reminders that reviews help small publishing work survive. The show suits listeners who enjoy genre criticism that is personal rather than academic. It is especially rewarding for horror fans who like films, paperbacks, adaptations, vampire lore, strange cult releases, and behind-the-scenes publishing notes in the same feed.
