Spooky Podcasts

I am a podcast junky. I usually listen while I'm working at the office, but I also listen while on longer car rides. I enjoy a wide variety of subjects, but this year I have been thoroughly enjoying two creepy programs. If you're looking for something to get you in the mood of the season, check these out!

Lore-

"Lore is a bi-weekly podcast about true life scary stories. The people, places, and things of our darkest nightmares all have real facts at their core. Each episode of Lore looks into a uniquely scary tale and uncovers the truth behind it.

Sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction".

Aaron Mahnke hosts this clinical yet creepy program, focusing on some of history's scariest stories & urban legends. One of my favorite installments was about changelings & there is a thoroughly interesting episode about the famous Colorado establishment, The Stanley Hotel, which was the inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining. I quickly worked my way through all seventeen episodes, but word to the wise; you might only want to listen to one episode a day. Any more than that can make you feel a little hopeless about humanity. However, I find when things touch a nerve it's because they are touching on truth that we don't often want to hear.

Limetown-

"Ten years ago, over three hundred men, women and children disappeared from a small town in Tennessee, never to be heard from again. In this seven-part podcast, American Public Radio host Lia Haddock asks the question once more, "What happened to the people of Limetown?"

A friend recently recommended Limetown to me & after listening to the first five minutes of the first episode & I was hooked. They are only three episodes in, so get in on the ground floor of this gripping audio drama for the podcast age.

Do you have any spooky podcasts I need to know about? What are you listening to this time of year? I would love to know!
