A Conversation with Kay Lynch (Salem Horror Fest)

This week Mike is joined by Kay Lynch. She's the founder and program director of the Salem Horror Festival which is returning this April for two weekends in lovely, scenic Salem Massachusetts. Kay is on hand to talk about why the festival took a year off in 2022 and all the ways it plans on returning in bigger and better fashion this spring. We talk about the lineup and events as well as why it is so important for the festival to be a safe haven for queer persons, women, and trans artists. For listeners that wonder why we're talking about an event that 99% of you won't be able to travel to, have no fear, we do talk about the virtual component to the festival which will be announced shortly. In the meantime check out the links below where you can check out the program, the special events and purchase passes to the festival right now.  Salem Horror Main Page Salem Horror Fest Passes & Tickets Follow us on social media: Twitter: @PsychoAPod Instagram: The Psychoanalysis podcast Facebook: Psychoanalysis Podcast Support group If you really like the show, and want more of us, join our patreon for bonus shows and more content.
