Though English has two plural forms "media" and "mediums", are they interchangeable? If you say "media" I think of more than one medium of communication, but if you say "mediums" I think of a group of humans who engage in necromancy and talking to spirits and stuff (being a medium as a job)

I believe it’s context specific. Both are in common use in acoustics or bacterial cultures, but it’s electronic media and spirit mediums.
