LGBTQ+ supernatural podcast recs?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some new podcasts to listen to and was hoping for some recommendations. I absolutely loved The Magnus Archives, Ghost Wax, Alice Isn't Dead, and The Strange Case of Starship Iris, and I'm looking for something with a similar vibe.
What I loved most about those podcasts was the atmosphere, the mystery, the character development, and the feeling that there was always a bigger story slowly unfolding in the background. I really enjoy stories that keep you guessing while gradually revealing more over time.
I especially enjoy:
- Supernatural, horror, or paranormal stories
- Mystery and suspense
- BL/gay romance or LGBTQ+ characters and relationships
- Character-driven stories with a good plot
- Slow-burn overarching mysteries
- Creepy atmospheres, monsters, ghosts, cryptids, or other unexplained/supernatural phenomena
I'd definitely prefer BL/gay stories because I love my gay love stories, but any LGBTQ+ podcasts are welcome. My ideal podcast would have a mix of LGBTQ+ characters, supernatural elements, and a really good plot. Bonus points if it has an enemies-to-lovers, coworkers-to-lovers, or another slow-burn relationship.
The romance doesn't have to be the main focus of the story.
I'd also strongly prefer podcasts where the main romance is LGBTQ+ rather than a straight couple. Part of the reason is that I've had some bad experiences with stories where the female love interest ends up being abused, assaulted, or otherwise subjected to upsetting treatment, and I'd rather avoid that kind of content. Because of that, I'd really appreciate recommendations that focus on LGBTQ+ relationships instead. (Abuse, murder, etc. is completely fine, just nothing overly graphic.)
It doesn't have to be exactly like the podcasts I mentioned. I'm mainly looking for compelling characters, an interesting mystery, supernatural or horror elements, and a story that keeps making you want to know what happens next.
I prefer fictional audio dramas with voice acting rather than discussion or true crime podcasts. I don't mind whether it's a continuous story or starts off as an anthology, as long as there's a strong plot and memorable characters.
Please don't recommend any SCP Foundation podcasts. I love SCP stories and lore, but I'm not really interested in podcasts specifically about SCPs.
Also, if you're recommending a podcast, could you please tell me where I can listen to it (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, a website, etc.)? It'd make it much easier for me to check them out.
I'd love to hear any recommendations you have! I'm happy to check out both completed and ongoing podcasts. I also don't really mind how long a podcast is, whether it has 1–5 seasons or 7–10. I'd generally prefer something with more than one season, but if it's an ongoing podcast like Ghost Wax that also only has 1 season so far, then that's completely fine.
Any recommendations are appreciated! Thank you in advance.
