I really dislike organized religion, cults and worshipping any gods (you do you, it's just very strongly not my cup of tea)​. But everyone keeps saying how good Silt Verses is, and I'm out of podcasts to listen to.

Should I still try it? Are there other themes aside from the religious one? How strong is it there?

Edit: Thanks everyone, my question has been answered 👍

I listened to the first episode quite a while ago and I wasn't sure about it. Not really into the described story style, I much prefer a full cast acted out style. There's so many recommendations for it on here that I decided to give it another go. I'm currently on episode 6 and I'm just not getting it. The story so far just seems a bit pointless. I'm not writing it off but I'm just curious if it changes at any point.

I’m trying to find a horror podcast I listened to a couple of years ago. I only heard the first couple of episodes.

This is what I remember: The protagonist was a drifter or traveller who could control minds or implant memories.
He persuades a woman that he is her old friend and she has invited him to stay. But her wife has no idea who he is.
I think he ultimately takes over people’s bodies to continue to live.
There is a dark magic vibe about the story.
I think the title has Town in the title.

Sorry I know it’s vague but it’s driving me mad trying to find it.

ETA: I found it: it’s Dark Heights.

How do you find new podcasts to listen to? Do you check sites with top podcasts, find sites like Podchaster and search different categories, ask for recommendations, pick "More Like This" on podcasts you listen, to, or what?

Hello all,

I am hoping to get some suggestions for horror podcasts about aliens, UFOs, and all the things relating to them like lost time, abduction, all that kind of stuff.

I've done several searches and have found similar questions, but never quite what I'm searching for, either being just general alien stuff that is creepy maybe, but not horror, or being general sci Fi horror but not necessarily having to do with aliens and UFOs.

Things that have similar vibes to movies like the fourth kind, dark skies, or fire in the sky would be amazing.

Some of the other podcasts I really enjoy are Mayfair Watcher's Society, the Magnus Archives, Knifepoint Horror, SCP Archives, and the Nosleep Podcast, all of which I think are great overall, but hit ten times harder for me when they're talking about aliens, UFOs, and even things like cryptids, as opposed to demons, ghosts, and the like.

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

I have previously only listened to Swedish ones and enjoyed ones with themes of weird/unique social dynamics, political events and overall where there’s a small town cozy kind of vibe.

Thriller or horror is good too but more so if its a disturbing topic rather than jumpscares because then I cannot relax! :)

Sci-fi is okay but really only like it if the majority is not sci-fi except certain elements and that the people in it have the perspective of “wow thats fucked up” and not that it’s normal.

What would you all recommend as the best audiodramas for me? :D

The Lovecraft Investigations is an audiodrama and may well be my favourite Lovecraft homage in any medium...and that category has some serious competition, I love you, too, Bloodbourne! ^(you just aren't the only one...)

For people who have no idea what I am talking about / want to watch Season 1-4 for free on any pod-dooverlaki: https://www.pleasantgreen.co.uk/about/

Each Season follows a Lovecraft story: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth & The Haunter in the Dark so far.

Season 4 was a little short and hurried due to BBC cuts so Season 5 is now entirely fan backed...so if you want to make it longer, weirder and more indulgent, please sign up.

Julian Simpson is the writer and a one-man-band so to make yourself contactable, he needs your email bunged into Backerkit. The less admin we make him do the more he can write!

Please let me know if that link doesn't work for you, it is from my email and I don't know what I am doing :)

So, I'm a big fan of fantasy, detectives, and settings that have a unique vibe/feeling to them. And something that combines all three happens to be Disco Elysium. That was a game I spent hours on due to not only it being a classic detective story, but it also being a story that dug deep into its themes. (And also wasn't afraid to take the piss or go into 'weird' territory)

I'm looking for pods that embrace both a grounded yet surreal story. And are centered around characters that have reached rock bottom, but still have the potential to be something more.

We launch the crowdfund in less than one hour. Here's the launch trailer. You can find us on Backerkit at https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/f9f745bf-18c6-43f3-95f8-5410ad61e193/landing

haven’t really seen anybody talking about this show but I am really really enjoying it so far. It’s reminiscent of Subsister and Video Palace. I’m a sucker for audio dramas that distort retro media and make it spooky. there’s 5 episodes right now but i’m curious if anyone else has been listening and has any opinions :)

Here I go again...

Feel like I'm running up against wall, need your help.

Mystery, Thriller, horror but not too intense like Silt verses (eff me...).

No anthologies please unless the meta story is strong.

Multiple seasons please.

Nothing too funny but any setting like SciFi, gothic, present day, furry conventions (just kidding, no judgment) etc.

Still moving through petrified but torture audio is tough for me.

Thanks everyone!

This one really feels like a fever dream to me. It has some incredibly strong aspects, but sometimes they loose me too. I was wondering if anyone else has listened to it and has some thoughts to offer!

like the title says. I’m looking for things to listen to at work. preferably bite sized episodes (30-45 minutes). Looking for something like ”Alien” or “The Thing” that will spook me but won’t make me jump out of my skin in front of customers.

I have discovered audiodramas a while ago. I love a lot of them, but have a huge problem- I can never seem to focus. Does anyone know any audiodramas that don’t require much of an attention span?
