Greg Jackson教授：介绍了播客《历史不烂》的万圣节特别节目，内容涉及1922年的吸血鬼电影《诺斯费拉图》及其与斯托克小说《德古拉》的关系，并提及在之前的节目中也探讨了《德古拉》。他还介绍了一个新的播客《德古拉的真实历史》，讲述了这部小说背后的故事以及它对整个类型的影响。
Lindsay Graham：在《德古拉的真实历史》系列中，她揭示了作者布莱姆·斯托克如何利用古代民间传说和维多利亚时代对性、科学和宗教的恐惧，以及我们今天仍然被他的奇怪夜间生物所吸引。她还讲述了《德古拉》于1897年5月26日出版，虽然当时并非商业成功，但却永远改变了虚构小说的世界。这部小说巧妙地融合了民间传说、社会评论和心理惊悚元素，将传说与历史、现代科学与古老的噩梦融为一体。不仅是19世纪的精彩写照，而且在今天仍然具有很强的共鸣，书中充满了主题和比喻，至今仍被人们阅读和欣赏。《德古拉》被改编成无数电影、戏剧、漫画和广播节目，现代的吸血鬼故事都欠它一份情。为了创作这部关于不朽邪恶的可怕故事，斯托克进行了大量的研究，他的作品的根基可以追溯到古代迷信、中世纪科学、古老的宗教和被遗忘的生活方式。
