Different vibe than the pods you listed, but I will always recommend it. This American Life but for paranormal stories. Extremely thought-provoking, terrifying, heartwarming, and human depending on the episode.
this episode is a recent fav of mine!

This is the kind of show that I feel like I've always wanted. The storytelling is pretty top-notch and has the feel of those late-night "unexplained" shows that you'd stumble upon as a kid. It genuinely feels like sitting around a campfire, listening to a stranger tell you the most hair-raising story you've ever heard. I recommend starting with Episode 64: The Shed.

I am recommending my own damn show Otherworld. I describe it as a Paranormal This American Life. I have been interviewing people about their paranormal experiences for the last 5 years and just released this show October 3rd. I have been working very hard to create a podcast about the paranormal that I would actually listen to, and something that could be enjoyed by anyone from the hardcore skeptics to people that put crystals over their wifi routers.I worked way too hard on this and have lost sanity points that I may never get back, but it’s a great show and I love it so go listen.

I’ve listened to every episode of this pod (and the Patreon is well worth it imo) and I think it’s the best shit ever. The host interviews people about their experiences with the paranormal and the way stories intersect with spirituality, science, and folklore is so incredible. It really makes me feel like there is more to this world than what we can see or understand currently. It’s also deeply moving how vulnerable people are with intimate aspects of their life and how caring the host is to the people he talks to. Injects a dose of wonder into my life every week ❤️

Poetically, this was going to be the last date before I delete Hinge and take a break for a few months.

On the bright side, I did get to see this bathroom with two stand mixers and a printer in it

The free time and mental clarity is scary, but I'm so excited for what comes next.
