Welcome to the KMMA Media Podcast Network
KMMA Media was started by Kaylia Metcalfe.
Current Podcasts
Pages and Popcorn Podcast features Kaylia and her co-host talking about movies that are based on books as well as the original source material. We answer the age-old question: Which version is worth your time? (Could it be both?)
In The Ghosthropology Podcast, host Matt tells ghost stories, folklore, and tales of the weird followed by a discussion of what makes them interesting from an anthropologist’s perspective.
It’s A Queer Thang is a monthly show where Chris and Kaylia talk politics, pop culture, and local events for the Fresno LGBTQ community.

74. The Dig
In this episode, Kaylia is joined by real-life archeologist Matthew to discuss this real-life event that was heavily changed to be a novel that was then heavily changed to be a movie. Join us for a discussion of archeology, history, badly inserted queer plotlines, and what Kaylia deems as an unforgivable literary sin.
73. My Policeman
Kaylia and Chris talk about this book turned movie that attempts to tell the tragic love story of two gay men through the lens of a (some would say unlikeable) straight woman. Is this all styles or is there substance in this book and movie combo?
50. Unlikely Gateways to Hell (US)
In this episode, Matt wraps up the last Ghosthropology episode of 2022 by telling the audience how they can go to Hell, if they feel so inclined.

49. Dudleytown
Dudleytown is often described as one of the strangest and most haunted places in North America. In this episode, Matt tells the tale, then is a total killjoy and destroys the tale, and then discusses how the folklore surrounding Dudleytown came to be.
72. The Quiet Boy / Antlers
Kaylia and Sarah discuss The Quiet Boy (short story) and Antlers (movie adaptation) in the newest episode of Pages and Popcorn.

48. Spirits of Colonial Williamsburg
In this episode, Matt talks with Dr. Alena Pirok about her recently published book The Spirit of Colonial Williamsburg, which covers the intersection of belief in ghosts, public perception of history, and ghost tourism.
71. The Exorcist (Crossover Episode w/ Ghosthropology)
In this special crossover episode, Kaylia (Pages and Popcorn) and Matt (Ghosthropology) talk about that 1970s classic: The Exorcist. We discuss the “true story” that inspired the novel, the novel that inspired the movie, and the movie that has inspired fear for almost 50 years.
