Satanists discuss modern Satanism, its history, left-leaning political activism, and how Satanism relates to current events and pop culture. It's a show for the Satan-curious, or those already involved in Satanic groups.

The Devil You Don't Know
A podcast that explores the historical and cultural relevance of the figure known as the Devil. For many, The Devil is an entity not to be trifled with. He (most often it is a "he" pronoun) has an aim to tempt you away from God. For others, The Devil is a fictitious character carefully designed as propaganda; a scare tactic for the faithful. The consequences of this belief around The Devil have been severe. Antisemitism, the crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, the Satanic Panic, and even today there is Q'Anon. The Devil is VERY real to many people and in this podcast we will look into how this came to be. You already know The Devil You Know. We are uncovering The Devil You DON'T Know.

Episode 88 - True Crime & Satanic Panic
Supermarket tabloids and scandalized suburbanites across America agree: Satanic cults are behind some of America’s most devilish crimes. But what’s the truth: Do Satanists ever really commit the kinds of ritualistic crimes we’re always taking the heat for, or is this another case of myth-taken identity?

BMA Bonus Show #6: Three Devils: A Satanic Carol
Happy whatever-it-is-you-celebrate, unfaithful listeners! Today, we have a bonus show for you: an audio drama written and directed by Satanic Bay Area member Jane Thomas. (You'll remember her from episode 14, "Satan on the Silver Screen," and episode 47, "Lilith's Fare," as well as the opening play from SBA's Hell-O-Ween celebration in 2019.) Enjoy this sun Satanic retelling of a holiday classic -- but first, a word from the author... "This is a loyal adaptation of Dickens’ original text. Seriously, I feel strongly about the continuation of traditions, and our Satanic principles are the most important traditions of all. I think Dickens would be on our side in modern society. This is a serious, academic exercise and in no way an excuse to make booby jokes and beat up on Christians. Look, there will be anti-capitalist and pro-queer material in this drama. Just like Dickens would have wanted."
Episode 86 - Letters to Satan Claus
We’re summoning a very different kind of holiday spirit with the help of Emma Sutherland, director of the new Syfy Original Movie "Letters To Satan Claus," the world's first true "Hellmark" Christmas film.

Episode 84 - Spotlight: Satanic Artists
Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe once said, "Beauty and the devil are the same thing." Maybe with that in mind, many Satanists who are also artists find themselves developing certain themes in their work. We asked our Unfaithful Listeners for their testimonials about how Lucifer enlightens their creativity, in hopes that we can all answer the question: just what is "Satanic art" really?

Episode 83 - The Devil’s Playthings
We’ve got a playdate with danger, as we return to the days of the Satanic Panic and its ironically formative attitudes about child’s play. The hysteria invaded every facet of American culture, including, strangely, the playroom. Over the years, American society has toyed with devil scares about your favorite childhood playthings, and so with the holiday season near we’ve brought in our friend Kyle from Super 7 to help us unbox those fears.

Episode 82 - History of Witchcraft
The Witching Hour runs ‘round the clock this time of year, but although we have discussed witchcraft on Black Mass Appeal before, we’ve never examined the true history of witchery and how it became associated with Satan. Here to help us spell things out, we have Steven from the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. Also, Satanic Bay Area is treating itself safely for the holiday season, and in the news, a priest is in a tight spot over his unholy trinity...

Episode 80 - Devil's Food
Gluttony is a sin, and we’re hungry for more.

Here at Black Mass Appeal, we believe in the right not to believe in anything, but atheism is still pretty atypical in America.
