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
S03E04: The Paranormal Takeover - Jamaica Inn (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Pack your bags and mind the fog... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is heading to the windswept Bodmin Moor.
In part one of this atmospheric takeover, Dean, Jay, and Theo step inside the granite walls of the legendary Jamaica Inn. Standing since 1776, this former coaching house is world-renowned for its ties to smugglers, its inspiration for Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel, and its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the UK.
We are joined by a very special guest: Karin Beasant, the Inn’s dedicated Paranormal Custodian. Karin lives and breathes the history of this place, and she’s here to pull back the veil on the spirits that still roam the corridors.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The History & The Hollywood Connection: From 18th-century "wreckers" to the iconic book and Hitchcock film that put Jamaica Inn on the global map.
- The Phantom Footsteps: Karin recounts the chilling reports of wet footprints appearing from nowhere—the calling card of a mysterious "ghost girl" from the moors.
- The Playful Resident: Meet the resident male spirit who enjoys a bit of mischief with the guests. Is he a friendly ghost, or is there a darker side to his antics?
- Life as a Custodian: What it’s really like to work and sleep in a building where the past refuses to stay buried.
Whether you’re a sceptic or a true believer, join us as we explore the thin line between legend and reality at Cornwall’s most famous haunt.
Listen now and decide for yourself: Is it just the wind on the moors, or is someone - or something - following us?
