THE STORY ✦

where it started: origin story

Hi, I’m Madeline!

I, like you, contain multitudes. A few of these include cat lover, magic practitioner, card reader, kitchen witch, member of the LGBTQIA+ community, maker of things, musician, composer, and the sole proprietor of Bad Cat.

Bad Cat is a small audio visual production collective that specializes in supporting witchy and alternative creators in their explorations of healing, magic, community, and laughter.

Bad Cat was born in Ojai, CA as a passion project in 2023. My background is in music, having earned a bachelor’s degree in Music with a concentration in Contemporary Practices.

I have always believed in the power of storytelling and the value of deep conversation. This is what led me to delve into podcasting in addition to music-making.

Years later, I find that this this passion project has grown into a small business, where I offer a full suite of audio and visual creative services, as well as a community for creators in the witchier niches.

Thank you for staying curious and reading this!

Magically yours,

Madeline Grass Doss

why is it called “Bad Cat?”

Excellent question! Bad Cat was named because of my soft spot for kitties who many call bad, but we know that they are really just misunderstood. Find a blogpost that explains the full story here.

who we are: the collective

At its core, Bad Cat is a safe space for pagans, witches, astrologers, energy healers, and all members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As a content collective, we are lovers of stories, the arts, healing, and magic. From our content to our advertisements, we aim to bring something beyond just entertainment to our listeners. We harbor a community that feels safe, inclusive, sustainable, and intentional.

When independent creators in the witchcraft, energy healing, and inclusive spiritual spaces work with Bad Cat to make their podcast, radio show, or social media content come to life, they get more than what they expect. They get more than a professionally edited podcast, original music score, or highly aligned content. They get a new member of their community who is there to stand alongside them as they promote healing through the power of community.

If you have a small business, product, or service that aligns with these core values, do not hesitate to contact Bad Cat regarding advertising with one of our projects. We want to share your stories as well as ours.

LGBTQ-founded, independent, inclusive podcasting, where energetic intention is infused in all that we do.
