This week’s edition of the Extraplasm Podcast is now online and, in a slight twist, picks up on an earlier episode that deals with the history of interior design. Ghost Hunters Filming location: Fire Station 23 in Los Angeles.
Host Jim Maritato not only presents a complete remaster with improved sound and editing, but also provides a long overdue update on the ongoing efforts by the LA Department of Cultural Affairs and the Bureau of Engineering to transform the firehouse into a youth arts center.
In this episode, we revisit a classic 2022 Extraplasm episode and provide some new details and updates on an ongoing story! In 2022, Episode 10: Ghost Stories of a Haunted Firehouse delved into the history of Los Angeles Fire Station 23 – better known to many of us as the inside of Ghostbusters headquarters in the first two films. Nearly two years later, Jim revisits the episode and offers a revamped experience with improved audio, better editing, and – most importantly – an update on the LA Department of Cultural Affairs and Bureau of Engineering’s efforts to convert the firehouse into a youth arts center. And of course, as usual, the episode kicks off with new Ghostbusters headlines. Whether you’re new to Extraplasm or a long-time listener, there’s something new for you in this week’s episode!
From praising the recent success of Ghostbusters: The Ice Cold Empire to new exclusive merchandise at Universal Orlando, this week’s jam-packed headline segment also includes a quick recap on a production-made Slimer doll and Stay Puft hat that are part of Propstore’s summer auction in Los Angeles, the Horror Halloween Nights menu that includes a Mini Stay-Puft S’more and Frozen death cold Cheesecake, Spirit Halloween brings back the 17-inch Slimer hanging decoration, new t-shirts available at Old Navy, Hallmark unveils an exclusive 8-bit-style NYCC Slimer pin, and more!
