SOUTHERN GOTHIC MEDIA LLC IS AN INDEPENDENT PODCAST PRODUCTION COMPANY OPERATED BY SIBLINGS BRYANNE & BRANDON SCHEXNAYDER.
BRANDON SCHEXNAYDER
AUDIO PRODUCTION // HOST
Brandon is a veteran audio engineer with a passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible between your earbuds. After a long career in Music Row recording studios, helping artists like George Strait and Lee Ann Womack make their albums, Brandon decided it was his turn to tell stories and create something for himself, so he enlisted the help of his sister Bryanne and Southern Gothic was born.
Today, when Brandon isn’t knee-deep in ghost stories, he spends most of his time working with other podcasters, whether that is editing & mixing audio, consulting for growth and monetization, or just goofing off talking about middle-aged dad stuff like Bigfoot. If you’re interested in working with him, do not hesitate to reach out— you can view a selection of his production credits here.
BRYANNE SCHEXNAYDER
RESEARCH // WRITER
Bryanne is a professional archivist with a Master of Library & Information Science and a dual B.A. in History & English. When Brandon approached her about working with him on Southern Gothic it was an easy yes— after all, they spent a large part of their childhood getting drug through cemeteries and libraries up and down the Mississippi River for their parents’ pre-Ancestry.com passion for genealogy— so hanging with the dead already felt like family time!
Currently, Bryanne works at the Louisiana Historical Center in the New Orleans French Quarter and spends her time away from Southern Gothic obsessed with digging deeper than anyone ever has into the legend of Julia Brown. Check out some of her work in Volume III of The Feminine Macabre.
