Cool Finds: Spooky Podcasts

I am a big fan of the podcasting format. I have a fairly tedious job so being able to listen while I work or travel is my favourite way to learn or be entertained.

So I thought I would present to you some seasonally appropriate creepy podcasts to listen to.

Welcome To Nightvale

This was kind of ground zero for the fiction podcast boom. A story about a small desert town where every conspiracy theory is true, all told through the local radio station.

Creepy, disturbing, hilarious, experimental and underneath all of that it is hope-filled and life-affirming. It’s one of the best podcasts out there.

Polybius

Based on an old internet urban legend about and old arcade videogame with numerous creepy elements and rumors.
This short-run story deals with a team of journalists who finds someone who claims to have encountered the arcade box in his past. However, nothing is as it seems.
CW: this deals with topics of addiction and sexual abuse
