Fate, Luck & Karma: Geek Culture with a Side of Strange
Two in the box, ready to go! After two glorious seasons, it's time for a change. The West Midlands Ghostbusters are mixing things up for Season 3 of Fate, Luck & Karma as they talk not just about their favourite movie series, but also wander dangerously close to the etheric plane, and then quickly come back again when realising they're very much out of their depth. Hosted by Dean, Theo, Jay and friends, and recorded live in the home of metal music, Ozzy Osbourne and the Peaky Blinders - the West Midlands, UK.
In Season 3 of Fate, Luck & Karma, expect even more geek culture content, movie deep-dives, celebrations of diverse fandoms, showcasing of fan-films, cosplay and collecting tips, and even a little bit of ghost hunting - plus loads more fun stuff.
It's a brave new start for the plucky little Ghostbusters podcast that's gone on to reach listeners in 83 countries worldwide - who knows how big things will get when we throw open the doors to new things?!?

Fate, Luck & Karma: Geek Culture with a Side of Strange
S03E02: Masters of the Universe Trailer Reaction, Lego SMART Bricks, M.A.S.K Toys & More!
The team cast a wide net across the geeky world in this episode, giving their first reactions to the Masters of the Universe 2026 trailer, wonder when we'll see Orko, and consider how good a match Idris Elba is for Man-At-Arms. Plus Dean digs into the archives to give some much needed airtime to a 1983 Masters of the Universe story on vinyl (you need to hear the intro song) and the team unpick some of the hidden and not-so-hidden Easter eggs sprinkled through the teaser - how many did you catch?
Staying with Masters of the Universe, we resurrect our "Unnecessary Censorship" feature, but this time with a bit of a He-Man spin.
While we're firmly back in the 80s, we also give our take on the recently relaunched and reimagined M.A.S.K. vehicles and figures, with Jay explaining why he *cancelled* his pre-orders...
From there we explore some stunning fundraising work from the Alberta Ghostbusters, show some love to a one-of-one Vigo the Carpathian custom action figure, show a little less love to the latest Ghostbusters book from Magnoli, wonder what SMART bricks mean for Lego lovers - and why they're only currently paired with Star Wars Lego for now, and consider just how likely serious injury is when you're wearing a pair of Crocs Lego shoes.
All this, and much more, squeezed into a little over 30 minutes.
