all right all right
Evelyn Archer 0:01
I guess we're doing this, Oh my god.
Lucy Neptune 0:06
We have equipment and and we wrapped it and we plugged everything in. And the wonderful Alan helped us because I plugged too many things in.
Evelyn Archer 0:15
We just got really excited again. And yeah, that was the deal.
Lucy Neptune 0:19
Yeah, but now we're rolling
Evelyn Archer 0:21
Now we're rolling .
Lucy Neptune 0:23
We're rolling so why don't I jump in and say okay, so I got the idea to do a podcast with you specifically called Witches and Dicks.
Evelyn Archer
Welcome to Witches and Dicks.
Lucy Neptune: Welcome to Witches and Dicks, wherein we discuss anything and anyone witchy and anything anyone private detective-y. And anyone being a dick. And maybe dicks themselves. Why not?
Evelyn Archer 0:47
Possibly. And also, I think that there especially with like the private investigator murder mystery situation, it...at first blush, it may seem that these things are unrelated. They are not. They are not unrelated.
Lucy Neptune 1:04
There is a strong Venn diagram.
Evelyn Archer 1:06
There is a strong Venn diagram here. And this is for another whole episode, like I could do like a 1400 word essay on the overlap of witchcraft as both a supernatural idea and also witch as an archetype. And how that intersects with mystery solving. And the small "m" mystery that like Hercule Poirot solves, and the big M mystery. That is that witches that witches are getting into Yeah, exactly. So that's Yeah, that's the the crossover for me for sure. Absolutely. And there's like, which is witchcraft stuff. There's also witch archetype stuff. They're also supernatural detectives, but there aren't very many supernatural detectives. That is. That's a hard line too.
Lucy Neptune 2:03
But people often look at them like how did you figure that out?
Evelyn Archer 2:06
That's the thing like, like Sherlock Holmes is seen as having supernatural abilities, but they're not supernatural abilities. But there is this tension between witches and dicks of the of the rational and the intuitive. Yeah, that that I think is interesting. Yes. That I think is interesting.
Lucy Neptune 2:31
And people, the people who come to them for help. often have I bet there's a whole - Well, we'll, we'll explore this as we go through. Yeah, the clients often have they probably have their own Venn diagram in terms of, you know, a lover lover lost. They want to get back, you know, --unintelligible--.
Evelyn Archer 2:52
And, and very often, like I think about, you know, my favorite murder mysteries. I'm thinking about with the Maltese Falcon and thinking about the Big Sleep. These are people who basically either need a hex reversed, or are trying to hex somebody. Oh, yes. And I think that that's pretty standard across the board, you know? Yes. It's very interesting. What are we talking about this week?
Lucy Neptune 3:23
What are we talking about?
Evelyn Archer 3:24
Well, I also want to think a little bit about the intro. Like, it doesn't have to be, again, I you know, taking my cue from Linoleum Knife, like, their's, their's a little bit different. They play their little music they're like, and one of them goes "Linoleum Knife. A podcast of the cinema. I'm Dave White, what's your name? I'm Alonzo Duralde. We're married. To each other." like,
Lucy Neptune 3:51
yes.
Evelyn Archer 3:52
But I think that's some something that might ease us in short to sure that so what were you thinking for intros?
Lucy Neptune 4:02
I was thinking some kind of maybe sound effects that hearken I don't know if that's the right word, but they hearken to both mystical magical things and detective-y things. And, and or a theme song. Which right now lives in my head going, "Witches and dicks. Witches and dicks. Which witch dick dick, which witch which dick?" Something terrible like that, but way better.
Evelyn Archer 4:30
I think that you could absolutely just record that and it would be 100% perfect.
