Podcasts 🎧

Welcome to my podcast list! I’ve been listening to podcasts for a while now, rather that repeatedly harping on about the ones i like the best I thought I’d just write a list. 👍

Recommendations

For podcasts to make it into this list, they have to be something I can’t get enough of. I’ve listened to every episode, sometimes multiple times. They’re the ones I recommend to everyone I know.

  • The White Vault (Horror, Found Footage, Lovecraftian) - Season one is about a group of researchers in the Svalbard done in a mostly found-footage style. If you’re into Lovecraftian horror, this is for you.
  • SCP:Find Us Alive (Lovecraftian, Drama, Humour) - About a group of employees stranded on an SCP site, chock full of banter and both humorous and solemn situations.
  • The Hyacinth Disaster (Horror, Drama, Tragedy, Sci-fi) - Complete. This one hit me in the feels, much shorter than some series here but one of the best for getting you invested.
  • Batman Unburied (Horror, Drama, Mystery) - Complete. A fascinating take on a Batman story, it hits a bit differently from other formats.

Something different

Sometimes there are things that that aren’t quite podcasts, but are still worth a listen.

  • Ted the Caver (Horror, Lovecraftian, Creepypasta, Video) - This actually made me feel uncomfortable while listening; this YouTube video has a great narrator as well as interesting diagrams to go along with it.
  • Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program (Horror, Drama, Mystery, Historical, TTRPG) - A fiction podcast based on a groups actual play recordings, while it includes the occasional dice role it’s been edited with music, sound effects and voice acting.

Current Listening

  • Sherlock & Co (Mystery, Drama, Humour) - If you enjoyed the BBC TV series Sherlock because of the best-friend banter, you’ll probably enjoy this podcast.
  • Project Nova (Mystery, Sci-fi) - A computer tries to wake up four people in pods in sequence as part of project Nova.
  • Writing Excuses. A podcast about writing, with a focus on genre fiction. Each episode is about 15 minutes long, so it’s a great one to listen to while you’re doing something else.
