If you’re into very immersive and chillingly mysterious plus kinda spooky stories,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Edge of Sleep. The protagonist is voiced by Markiplier or Mark Fischbach, who has an amazing voice for voice acting. The basic gist of the story is suddenly most people are dead, and they find out it is because people are now dying once they fall asleep, and so the characters try to figure out what to do and it is amazingly told.
For sure Tanis. If you're interested in the black tapes then you'd love Tanis. It's from the same producers Pacific North West Stories. And Alex from the BTP is included. And her sidekick Nic Silver is the main character of the docudrama.
Fawaz AlHathal i find rabbits also made by the same people much much more enjoyable! It is like a Beautiful weird mash up of Mr Robot, Lost and the black tapes.
I have recently found audio drama podcasts ....i sand floors for a living - its a extremely loud! so i put ear muffs on and ...you can imagine thats pretty boring after a few hours of listening too this giant machine.....so a friend told me about podcasts.... i put my ear buds in under the ear muffs and of i go into another world....its been an absolute life saver... here are my top picks so far. It has to be said that im onto apocalyptic / sifi / paranormal kinda stuff. 1 - The white vault - my number 1 ... research centre in norway goes dark - a team is sent out too investigate .... amazing ..no need to say more. 2 - The black tapes - after days of listening too this and working on my own ..to be honest - i started looking over my shoulder... its scary as shit....amazing. 3 - The Walk - English one ...originaly made to get people exercising - really great cast and sound effects and some great twists and turns. 4 - TANIS - same makers as the black tapes - this will keep you busy for weeks - a bit slow some times but still awesome. 5 - Immunities - slightly less proffesional on the sound effects ...but alien invasion ...body snatchers typos stuff ..what more could you want. 6 - LimeTown - really interesting.. 200 some thing people disopear at a research centre -.... right up my ally. 7 - steal the stars ....about a team investigating an alien called moss ..not gonna say any more - unfortunately quite short. Just downloaded We're Alive so ..ill give you an update on that soon. Also here is one i REALLY didnt get and didnt like - welcome to nightvale ....honestly dont know wtf thats about - not sure what kind of people enjoy it - what ever floats ya boat i guess.
Update. Just finished We're Alive... Absolutely smashed it in about a month... It's been running since 2010 and it's absolutely awesome! Amazing actors...great sound quality and really nicely written! This comes at number 3 for me now!
So, firstly - fantastic recommendations! I've listened to all of those, except The Truth, and they're all brilliant! As far as my own recommendations go: Tanis - a sister-podcast to The Black Tapes, which follows TBT's producer, Nic, as he pairs up with a snarky hacker to track down a disappearing town, which has appeared in historical references in various places around the world since records began. Also Nic and Meerkatnip are so adorable and I ship them so much. Wolf 359 - imagine what would happen if Welcome to Night Vale, and The Black Tapes, had a baby, and that baby was orbiting a distant star. Wolf 359 is the ship's log of a tiny (4-person) research space station in the near future. Protagonist Doug Eiffel, Communications Expert, spends the majority of the podcast attempting to avoid the menial chores assigned him, searching for a place where he can smoke without being caught by Commander Minkowski, and getting up to shenanigans with the hilarious, glitchy Ship's AI, Hera. Beyond the story, there are occasional "special episodes" where characters embark on spoken-word monologues that are usually incredibly heartfelt. Hera's in particular actually made me tear-up. Knifepoint Horror - a podcast entirely dedicated to (fictional) ghost stories, which range in length from 8 or 9 minutes to over an hour. Each story is self-contained, but all of them are of incredibly high quality, and each story is narrated in a very professional manner. A few are really scary, but all are fascinating, and very original. Anyway. If you only give one of the above a try, make it Wolf 359. Stick with it past the first few episodes, as the plot begins to develop beyond "Doug hides from Minkowski" and trust me on it.
Another one I would like to recommend is The Enoch Saga. It’s about how scientists had made a pill which makes humans live forever. However one young girl named Kizzy is immune to the pill and is doomed to die. It’s really good so far!
If you like The Black Tapes, I think you might like Archive 81. It's about it guy who is hired to record audio tapes for I guess archival reasons. However something isn't right about these tapes, and what happens in the recordings, causes horrors to unfold as a result of these recordings. However, so do solutions.
Thank you for the recommendations! The Black Tapes sound really cool, I think I'll check that out! I highly recommend The Magnus Archives (a spooky audio drama that also features spooky stories told by a skeptic, but over time the stories start to connect with each other and it's really cool) And Red Valley (a really great audio drama about hyper sleep and human experimentation. The dialogue is very natural and really well written, and you get super attached to the characters really quick.) Thank you again;!
Welcome to Nightvale is just the best podcast when it comes to story telling for me, i listened to it every night until i finished it, i heard of it first from Alexa from HDIG and just looked it up, first few episodes i was lost but then i settled right into it and now absolutely adore every character
Here's my list... Borasca ( it's a masterpiece) [ scary ] The left right game [ scary ] The edge of sleep [ scary ] R slash [ Reddit stories ] How I died [ scary ]
THANK YOU! Borasca is truly a masterpiece and I loved it! if you have more recommendations could you tell me? I have the exact same taste in podcasts as this list.
I share your enthusiasm for podcasts. For about the last 10 years I have listened to podcasts more than watching TV or movies. I happened to come across your video here because I am in the middle of "The Black Tapes." It had been so long since I listened to "The Truth" and "Limetown" that I had forgotten about how much I love audio dramas as well. Have you ever heard of LA Theater Works? You can listen to some of their productions on their website, but unfortunately they don't release their shows in a podcast format. If you check them out, I think you'll like what they do. I haven't gotten into "Lore" yet, but it's been recommended to me in the past. My problem is that when I find something I love, I never expect anything else to ever be as good. Like right now. I am loving every moment of "The Black Tapes." I know it will come to an end, and it will be sad to leave that world and go into a new one with a different series. But I know that something else will come along that I will end up loving as well. It always happens despite me not expecting it to.
I love Lore and The Truth, another great story podcast is Snap Judgment, it's people telling different stories mostly about freaky events they experienced (eg. ghosts, unknown creature sightings, airport security).
I have a few recommendations that you may be interested in if you have not already heard of them. I will try not to list any that others have commented. The Magnus Archives. A fun horror podcast. Even though each episode is its own story, they all slowly start to form a bigger picture. Limetown. An investigation into what happened to 300 people that suddenly disappeared from a small town in Tennessee. Rover Red. A girl living in a post-apocalyptic compound has her world suddenly turned upside-down. The compound has been destroyed, and her brother is missing. She now has to traverse a world that is foreign to her to find out why someone destroyed her home, and took her brother.
Thank you!! Ive listened to Black Tapes!! Ima give the others a listen!! The podcasts I listen to & i recommend it is “Angel Of Vine” it’s a Mystery Crime that was never solved for almost a decade & this retired investigator opens the case for himself. “Scared To Death Podcast” is scary short stories that may be true & the others are told from fans that had happened to them. “The Blackwood Bugman” is about 3 friends trying to start a podcast about this Urban legend that takes place in the woods near an old town with that hides many dark secrets. I listen to more but those are my favorites
Huge fan of audio dramas. I am currently listening to Ars Paradoxica, a story about a scientist who accidentally invents time travel, as well as The Bright Sessions. Bright Sessions is not too creepy but features compelling and impressive storytelling and acting. Limetown was haunting, and The Black Tapes gave me the creeps in the very best way. I also recommend SAYER, which takes place at some point in the near future on one of Earth's artificial moons, and the main narrator is an AI who speaks to and guides the residents who live there. At times it's chilling and other times absolutely terrifying. Those are my recommendations!
Thanks for the recommendations. I am going to have to look into The Bright Sessions, as you have enigmatically said little about it other than that you like it, which interests me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've been dying to find more story heavy podcasts, I work the night shift at my work and creepy podcasts are surprisingly fun to listen to while I work, they help pass the time quickly! :)
+Portal in the Pages I try my best, I do end up getting a bit creeped out sometimes, then I just run into the lunchroom and wig out for a few minutes, not the bravest reaction! 😅
Three other podcats she didn't mention but I think are amazing are The two princes, the bright sessions, and Wolf 359 "The two princes" is about, well, two princes and their journey through romance and adventure. Not going to lie, imo it's a bit cringy but it's still really good. 8/10 "The bright sessions" is about a bunch of people with special abilities, called atypicals. I don't really know how else to explain it but it is told through recordings of therapy sessions and chats between characters, I'm in the middle of it right now it's really good. 10/10 "Wolf 359" is about a spaceship, the Hepahstis, and its crew as they learn new secrets and mysteries about why they were sent up to space and everything like that. This one is also really good, the first few episodes might be a bit uneventful but once you get to a certain point it becomes really good, it's the most action-packed out of this list. 10/10
Thank you so much for recommending The Truth. I started listening (oldest to newest) on pocket casts. It's absolutely incredible. I've laughed out loud multiple times in the last few hours while listening. "Total Transparency" is hilarious. I haven't gotten any of the creepy vibes you talked about. The first episode "Moon Graffiti" was kinda creepy I guess, but I got more of a hopeful desperation type of vibe from it. Everything else has been simply funny
I know this is old, but I really like the podcast "Small Town Horror." It's a very well-produced Podcast about a man who returns to his hometown to get some closure about a supernatural event that drove him out of the town in the first place. It's a continuing mystery spread over 3 seasons and it was surprisingly gripping. I downloaded four episodes for a camping trip and burned through them before I reached the campsite. The wait to get internet back and download more was unbearable! Lol. It's been a long time since I listen to it (as it was the first podcast I ever listened to), but the fact I can still remember it is a huge testament to how well made it is!
I just discovered podcasts as well as you! I'm so glad I did, because I've sadly gotten too busy to sit down and read, but podcasts give me the satisfaction of a story!
+Shelby Watkins Podcasts are really really great things. I'm sorry you don't have the time to read anymore but glad that you still get some stories. Maybe audiobooks would work too?
I've never really been able to listen them long enough. The podcast is more like I'm being told the story, rather than just listening to an audiobook. It's kinda odd but it's just me
Another surprisingly great storytelling podcast is The Adventure Zone. It's a D&D podcast but after the first arc the storytelling gets better and better until the sixth arc which will blow you away! It's also very diverse and the characters get a lot of depth the longer you listen. It's my absolute favourite podcast ever and if you're into comedy/drama it's perfect for you.
Great video. I would be interested in an updated list from you as this one was made 6 years ago. Also I would like to recommend “mirrors” if you haven’t listened to it. Edit: Thank you so much for introducing me to, “the truth.” I’m loving it right now
I’ve just finished episode 70B of night vale and find it beautifully uncanny, I’ll definitely be checking out Lore, the truth and at least a few episodes of the black tapes I’m not good with horror but have basically sold my soul to night vale so I’ll see how I get along with the others. Thanks for the recommendations :)
love your video! I just really got into wtnv and thought about searching recommendations about podcasts but most of them are interview/vlog based... So thank you (and the lovely comment section) a lot for these :3
The Truth! Love that podcast so much. The Voyager 1 probe landing in an alien's back yard, the Songonauts (so happy and fun), even a trip to hell. Good list!
You need to listen to six minutes each episode is around 6 minutes and it follows the story of a family who has a “child” who is very “special” once you listen to it you will understand why I put the quotes there
bro you need to check out the podcast andromeda, it's a sci-fi story podcast about lesbian space pirates like dude it's so good we need a review on it I'm OBSESSED
this looks awesome but there are a ton of podcasts called andromeda and i can't seem to find the good one, could you tell me where i can find it, pretty please ?
If you like Night Vale and well-produced fiction podcasts, you should absolutly check out "Our Fair City". It's a bit confusing in the beginning, but really bizarre and funny at some points.
I met Jonathan Mitchell from The Truth podcast at a convention way back in 2012. He was very unassuming and pleasant to talk to. If you like fantasy, you might enjoy ours. It's called The Audio Epics Podcast (and we're also on TH-cam as you can see).
Hi Sophie, Normally I'm very SM shy and would never sign in or let the Googlesphere know what I'm looking at but I had to make an exception with you to comment on your recommendations (and to subscribe). Thank you sooo much, I'm going to check them out on Spotify and I've passed them on to my son as he's an avid horror fan (the last two). Good luck with your videos and may you have many more x
Old Lady Josie, and all the Erikas (who are most definitely NOT angels) agree that Welcome To Nightvale is one of the most awesome podcasts in this, or any other dimension. ^*_*^ :)
I love these recommendations, I am subscribe to a few of these going to check the other ones out but if you like "the truth" which is one of my favorite podcast you should check out "earbud theatre" and "we're alive" and the new installment "were alive lockdown" enjoy please make more of these!! :)
hi, came across this cause i recently got into Lore i wanted to see if there where more podcast like it out. i would highly recommend the "Myths and Legends" podcast its all about folklore and its brilliant!
I'm more into docudrama podcasts than anything. Check out Rabbits (same people as black tapes), Tanis, Ars Paradoxica, and The Far Meridian. The Far Meridian takes probably about 5 episodes to get going though.
If you like The Black Tapes ... You gotta check out Tanis! It's the same crew behind The Black Tapes, except it's a little more 'head-y' I guess? It gives that same 'WTF?' is happening feeling that the show Lost used to give.
Thanks... I been listening to podcast for a long time but only comedy and educational, last week I came across The Message. I never listened to story podcast before and I admit I was hooked within the first few minutes. Any way thank you for these always looking for good podcast for my daily long walk with my dog....I'll start with Night Vale.
+erickg162 My pleasure! I absolutely love podcasts too. I've not yet gotten into The Message, it's a si-fi one isn't it? And hell yes. I adore Night Vale.
Would you please tell me the name of the podcast/ serial web fiction about a young man who inherited his grandmother’s house. Discovers “rose” the familiar that was basically from his grandmother. Has demonology and he… Please tell me you know, I could swear I found out about it from you, but no matter what I search I cannot find it.
Thank you for this video! I'm new to podcasts, but they intrigue me a lot.=) I found a book based on Night Vale podcast. Will check a podcast too! Story behind it sounds amazing.
+Anna Shuk (ChicagoJFox) Nightvale is amazing. As is Alice Is Not Dead, the new series by the same creators. Apologies in advance for all the time you'll lose to podcasts. :)
That makes sense. I had assumed it was to show that the show exists beyond this one item of news, to give it some sense of immersion. Seems odd not to use the standard S1E1 however.
I know this is an older video. But, would it be rude to recommend my own podcast? It's an audio book in podcast form. I've just uploaded it on YT and it's available on all podcatchers. If it's not done to try and promote it this way, I'll delete this comment, no worries. It's just so difficult to get the word out about it and find listeners.
For me nothing comes close to We're Alive so far, except Lockdown. Right now I'm listening to Tracks and it's good so far, but I don't know how it ends. It's always the ending that ruins a seemingly good drama podcast, and that's one of the things that made We're Alive and Lockdown so good. Homecoming was pretty good. I can recommend that one for sure.
I love nightvale, tanis and black tapes. But they only post every once in a while. So I've been looking for some new ones I found Criminal, Unsolved Murders: True Crimes, No Sleep. Granted I had to stop listening to No sleep cause I just couldn't sleep too creepy but the story telling was excellent. Unsolved Murders reminds me of old school radio dramas or radio plays where they actually act out the murders rather then just tell you about them.
No Sleep is great but it's name is accurate. I can't sleep listening to it either. True Murder is a good one too, though the audio quality takes some getting used to.
another one i can recommend is Archive 81. It's about found recordings, made by a missing archivist, documenting recordings made by his predecessor regarding strange occurrences at a public high rise apartment. it's weird in a good way! haha
Why don’t you make a podcast. I would totally listen to your voice. It is so calming
00:47 Welcome to night vale
02:33 Lore
03:45 The Moth
04:50 The Truth
06:28 The Black Tapes
My suggestions
Rabbits
Dust (season 3 chrysalis)
You have to listen to the two princes 😩 it’s so GOOOOOD
Update: season 2 came out a week ago!!
Sooooooo good
I 100% agree! Its sooo good!!

The Magnus Archives
I just finished Night Vale and the Two Princes yesterday and just started listening to The Magnus Archives
Check out "we're alive" it's a about the zombie outbreak and it tells the pov of this army Sargent
Thanks for the recommendation
Tex Teutsch i finished it already :-(
DAVID GUTIERREZ Have you listened to Lockdown?
is it on spotify ?
We're Alive is the best and LockDown was excellent!
For sure Tanis. If you're interested in the black tapes then you'd love Tanis. It's from the same producers Pacific North West Stories. And Alex from the BTP is included. And her sidekick Nic Silver is the main character of the docudrama.
+Fawaz AlH I have to admit I'm yet to investigate Tanis. I promise I will in future!
Fawaz AlHathal i find rabbits also made by the same people much much more enjoyable! It is like a Beautiful weird mash up of Mr Robot, Lost and the black tapes.
I have recently found audio drama podcasts ....i sand floors for a living - its a extremely loud! so i put ear muffs on and ...you can imagine thats pretty boring after a few hours of listening too this giant machine.....so a friend told me about podcasts.... i put my ear buds in under the ear muffs and of i go into another world....its been an absolute life saver... here are my top picks so far.
It has to be said that im onto apocalyptic / sifi / paranormal kinda stuff.
1 - The white vault - my number 1 ... research centre in norway goes dark - a team is sent out too investigate .... amazing ..no need to say more.
2 - The black tapes - after days of listening too this and working on my own ..to be honest - i started looking over my shoulder... its scary as shit....amazing.
3 - The Walk - English one ...originaly made to get people exercising - really great cast and sound effects and some great twists and turns.
4 - TANIS - same makers as the black tapes - this will keep you busy for weeks - a bit slow some times but still awesome.
5 - Immunities - slightly less proffesional on the sound effects ...but alien invasion ...body snatchers typos stuff ..what more could you want.
6 - LimeTown - really interesting.. 200 some thing people disopear at a research centre -.... right up my ally.
7 - steal the stars ....about a team investigating an alien called moss ..not gonna say any more - unfortunately quite short.
Just downloaded We're Alive so ..ill give you an update on that soon.
Also here is one i REALLY didnt get and didnt like - welcome to nightvale ....honestly dont know wtf thats about - not sure what kind of people enjoy it - what ever floats ya boat i guess.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Update. Just finished We're Alive... Absolutely smashed it in about a month... It's been running since 2010 and it's absolutely awesome! Amazing actors...great sound quality and really nicely written! This comes at number 3 for me now!
You'd love borasca and the left right game
Podcast recommendation: Limetown, The Amelia Project, The Bright Sessions, Homecoming, and Potterless
OH MY GOD NOBODY LISTENS TO THE AMELIA PROJECT I NEVER FIND OTHERS WHO LIKE IT!

It's such a great podcast, such a comfort one for me.
Wolf 359, a good relaxing sci-fi podcast, basically, I recommend listening to it in bed at night.
Here's my list...
Borasca ( it's a masterpiece) [ scary ]
The left right game [ scary ]
The edge of sleep [ scary ]
R slash [ Reddit stories ]
How I died [ scary ]
Thank you sooo much I tried how I died and I'm so into it right now really thankful if you have more recommendations please give me!?

I’ve been looking for stories as good as borasca and the left right game for YEARS but I just can’t.

I have a few recommendations that you may be interested in if you have not already heard of them. I will try not to list any that others have commented.
The Magnus Archives. A fun horror podcast. Even though each episode is its own story, they all slowly start to form a bigger picture.
Limetown. An investigation into what happened to 300 people that suddenly disappeared from a small town in Tennessee.
Rover Red. A girl living in a post-apocalyptic compound has her world suddenly turned upside-down. The compound has been destroyed, and her brother is missing. She now has to traverse a world that is foreign to her to find out why someone destroyed her home, and took her brother.
Oh my gosh I loved Limetown, thank you for the other two recommendations too!

You are my hero. I could never ever manage creepy stories on a night shift. I hope you enjoy these.
+Portal in the Pages I try my best, I do end up getting a bit creeped out sometimes, then I just run into the lunchroom and wig out for a few minutes, not the bravest reaction! 😅
That is still far braver than I would ever be. Have you ever watched the night worker creepy youtube video: th-cam.com/video/4jOU3m_tHtQ/w-d-xo.html
I just watched it right now, really glad I waited until I got home to do that! ^^;
It's creepy, but the ending is a bit weird.
Ooh, I’m new to story podcasts and am excited to check these out!
I'm currently listening to the Moth and love it!
Three other podcats she didn't mention but I think are amazing are The two princes, the bright sessions, and Wolf 359
"The two princes" is about, well, two princes and their journey through romance and adventure. Not going to lie, imo it's a bit cringy but it's still really good. 8/10

"Wolf 359" is about a spaceship, the Hepahstis, and its crew as they learn new secrets and mysteries about why they were sent up to space and everything like that. This one is also really good, the first few episodes might be a bit uneventful but once you get to a certain point it becomes really good, it's the most action-packed out of this list. 10/10
Thank you so much for recommending The Truth. I started listening (oldest to newest) on pocket casts. It's absolutely incredible. I've laughed out loud multiple times in the last few hours while listening. "Total Transparency" is hilarious. I haven't gotten any of the creepy vibes you talked about. The first episode "Moon Graffiti" was kinda creepy I guess, but I got more of a hopeful desperation type of vibe from it. Everything else has been simply funny
My introduction to podcasts was Bitesized Audio Classics. Now I’m hooked and thirsty for more so thank you for you recommendations.
I know this is old, but I really like the podcast "Small Town Horror."
It's a very well-produced Podcast about a man who returns to his hometown to get some closure about a supernatural event that drove him out of the town in the first place. It's a continuing mystery spread over 3 seasons and it was surprisingly gripping. I downloaded four episodes for a camping trip and burned through them before I reached the campsite. The wait to get internet back and download more was unbearable! Lol. It's been a long time since I listen to it (as it was the first podcast I ever listened to), but the fact I can still remember it is a huge testament to how well made it is!
These are great! Thanks so much and please do another one of these videos :)
+Peta Peggs Thank you! I may well do one next month. I have so many to recommend!
I love podcasts and am always looking for more The Truth is one I haven't heard of from your list and I can't wait to check it out, thanks!
Brilliant, I hope you enjoy it. :)
I just discovered podcasts as well as you! I'm so glad I did, because I've sadly gotten too busy to sit down and read, but podcasts give me the satisfaction of a story!
+Shelby Watkins Podcasts are really really great things. I'm sorry you don't have the time to read anymore but glad that you still get some stories. Maybe audiobooks would work too?
I've never really been able to listen them long enough. The podcast is more like I'm being told the story, rather than just listening to an audiobook. It's kinda odd but it's just me
No that's cool. If you're into horror there are some damn good short stories in podcast form too.
I started listening to The Black Tapes last night!! I'm not sure if that qualifies as horror, but it's damn near creepy, regardless!
That counts. :P
The Black Tapes is my favorite. Just love it. I went through all available episode three times. :D
Haha, it's really damn good.
Just listened to Lore and I freaking love it! Thanks for the recommendation!
Great news! Lore is amazing! I could listen to him all day.
Portal in the Pages It's the nicest voice to listen to for stories about murder and weird things. haha
100% agree.
Hello From The Magic Tavern is a brilliant one to listen to!
Thanks!
Another surprisingly great storytelling podcast is The Adventure Zone. It's a D&D podcast but after the first arc the storytelling gets better and better until the sixth arc which will blow you away! It's also very diverse and the characters get a lot of depth the longer you listen. It's my absolute favourite podcast ever and if you're into comedy/drama it's perfect for you.
The Adventure zone
finally found
a good recommendation channel thank you !
Awesome, thank you!
Great video. I would be interested in an updated list from you as this one was made 6 years ago. Also I would like to recommend “mirrors” if you haven’t listened to it.
Edit: Thank you so much for introducing me to, “the truth.” I’m loving it right now
I’ve just finished episode 70B of night vale and find it beautifully uncanny, I’ll definitely be checking out Lore, the truth and at least a few episodes of the black tapes I’m not good with horror but have basically sold my soul to night vale so I’ll see how I get along with the others. Thanks for the recommendations :)
Thank you Sophie this video helped a lot ❤️
love your video! I just really got into wtnv and thought about searching recommendations about podcasts but most of them are interview/vlog based...
So thank you (and the lovely comment section) a lot for these :3
So many great recommendations in the comments! Limetown is one I adored.
The Truth! Love that podcast so much. The Voyager 1 probe landing in an alien's back yard, the Songonauts (so happy and fun), even a trip to hell. Good list!

Welcome to Nightvale is a comfort podcast dog me 😊
Thank you, The Moth is my favorite, trying The Truth on your recommendation! Thank you again!
You need to listen to six minutes each episode is around 6 minutes and it follows the story of a family who has a “child” who is very “special” once you listen to it you will understand why I put the quotes there
I loved that one
Here’s my list:
Mission Rejected
We fix space junk
The Amelia project
bro you need to check out the podcast andromeda, it's a sci-fi story podcast about lesbian space pirates like dude it's so good we need a review on it I'm OBSESSED
this looks awesome but there are a ton of podcasts called andromeda and i can't seem to find the good one, could you tell me where i can find it, pretty please ?
I love listening to podcast more than listening to music. Awesome content!
Thank you ever so much. :)
If you like Night Vale and well-produced fiction podcasts, you should absolutly check out "Our Fair City". It's a bit confusing in the beginning, but really bizarre and funny at some points.
Ooo, thank you. I am getting so many great recommendations from you guys in these comments.
I met Jonathan Mitchell from The Truth podcast at a convention way back in 2012. He was very unassuming and pleasant to talk to. If you like fantasy, you might enjoy ours. It's called The Audio Epics Podcast (and we're also on TH-cam as you can see).
Does anyone know any podcast similar to the two princes?? I’ve been looking for romance podcast but can’t seem to find any
These sound so interesting! I tend to listen to scienc-y podcasts so this'll let me branch out a bit!
recommend me some plsss :((
I liked *MISFITS* podcast
Thank you very much this will keep me busy at work for awhile :)
+jordan tate My pleasure!
Hi Sophie,
Normally I'm very SM shy and would never sign in or let the Googlesphere know what I'm looking at but I had to make an exception with you to comment on your recommendations (and to subscribe). Thank you sooo much, I'm going to check them out on Spotify and I've passed them on to my son as he's an avid horror fan (the last two). Good luck with your videos and may you have many more x
Oh fantastic, I hope you enjoy these recommendations!
Ik I’m a little late to this vid but thanks for the great recommendations Moth and The Truth are great, nice break from the audiobooks
if you like welcome to night vale i highly highly recommend alice isn't dead, very very good
Old Lady Josie, and all the Erikas (who are most definitely NOT angels) agree that Welcome To Nightvale is one of the most awesome podcasts in this, or any other dimension. ^*_*^ :)
I bloody love Old Lady Josie.
Me too! :)
I love these recommendations, I am subscribe to a few of these going to check the other ones out but if you like "the truth" which is one of my favorite podcast you should check out "earbud theatre" and "we're alive" and the new installment "were alive lockdown" enjoy please make more of these!! :)
+I love scary shizit I'm glad you enjoyed them! I will be sure to check out those recommendations too as I love The Truth. 😊
Great video. The only one I had listened to was Welcome to Night Vale, so I'm glad I can add more podcasts to my list.
Great! I'm also hearing good things about S-Town recently. :)
Just looked it up. It sounds cool.
hi, came across this cause i recently got into Lore i wanted to see if there where more podcast like it out. i would highly recommend the "Myths and Legends" podcast its all about folklore and its brilliant!
Great! Thank you for the recommendation
Drum Run is a fun/dark story about 7 Third Estaters on a 7 day suicide mission. Sooo good...
You should also mention Unmentionable Podcast, it's pretty amazing and hilarious.
I'm more into docudrama podcasts than anything. Check out Rabbits (same people as black tapes), Tanis, Ars Paradoxica, and The Far Meridian. The Far Meridian takes probably about 5 episodes to get going though.
The unexplainable disappearance of Mars Cartel iis really
good.
Im guessing you mean Patel, and it’s really good!
would you recommend podcasts similar to the two princes?
If you like The Black Tapes ... You gotta check out Tanis! It's the same crew behind The Black Tapes, except it's a little more 'head-y' I guess?
It gives that same 'WTF?' is happening feeling that the show Lost used to give.
+Brett Merritt I now listen to Tanis too! It's great.
Thanks... I been listening to podcast for a long time but only comedy and educational, last week I came across The Message. I never listened to story podcast before and I admit I was hooked within the first few minutes. Any way thank you for these always looking for good podcast for my daily long walk with my dog....I'll start with Night Vale.
+erickg162 My pleasure! I absolutely love podcasts too. I've not yet gotten into The Message, it's a si-fi one isn't it? And hell yes. I adore Night Vale.
+Portal in the Pages its is scifi, it was fun to listen to but I didn't like the ending.
+erickg162 Oh no! Now I am totally torn. :(
+Portal in the Pages give it a shot...i didn't like the ending but i still liked the story and how it was told:)
+erickg162 Deal. :)
Would you please tell me the name of the podcast/ serial web fiction about a young man who inherited his grandmother’s house. Discovers “rose” the familiar that was basically from his grandmother. Has demonology and he…
Please tell me you know, I could swear I found out about it from you, but no matter what I search I cannot find it.
The adventure zone is a great one too, it’s a dnd podcast but develops into a really great story, by the McElroy brothers
Thank you for this video! I'm new to podcasts, but they intrigue me a lot.=)
I found a book based on Night Vale podcast. Will check a podcast too! Story behind it sounds amazing.
+Anna Shuk (ChicagoJFox) Nightvale is amazing. As is Alice Is Not Dead, the new series by the same creators. Apologies in advance for all the time you'll lose to podcasts. :)
Portal in the Pages haha... Oh dear. I can feel the storm coming.:D
The Video Palace 👌👌
when the black tapes says '101' it means season 1 episode 1 not that there was 100 podcasts
That makes sense. I had assumed it was to show that the show exists beyond this one item of news, to give it some sense of immersion. Seems odd not to use the standard S1E1 however.
Can someone please recommend a podcast that helps with gcse English like has alot of descriptions and language techniques…. ? Thx
Best podcast are immunities and we're alive. Please listen to these
Pleas answer, which app do u use to listen thoese podcasts?
I know this is an older video. But, would it be rude to recommend my own podcast? It's an audio book in podcast form. I've just uploaded it on YT and it's available on all podcatchers. If it's not done to try and promote it this way, I'll delete this comment, no worries. It's just so difficult to get the word out about it and find listeners.
Yikes! 4 years ago. Would have an updated list by chance?
my recommendation:the penumbra! An absulote must-have lisent to podcast
Thank you! I shall check it out. :)
The Black Tapes is awesome!!!!! Best Podcast out there!!!
+phillybigdoh It is great fun. I'm starting to be all caught up now though!
imagined life is great
Tales of the boatman is a fantasy series with lots of world music and nature sounds .
Thanks for the recommendation :)
“WE’RE ALIVE” IS SOOOOOOO GOOD !!!! Very much recommend it ! Does anyone know of any other good theater acting podcast ?
For me nothing comes close to We're Alive so far, except Lockdown. Right now I'm listening to Tracks and it's good so far, but I don't know how it ends. It's always the ending that ruins a seemingly good drama podcast, and that's one of the things that made We're Alive and Lockdown so good. Homecoming was pretty good. I can recommend that one for sure.
I love nightvale, tanis and black tapes. But they only post every once in a while. So I've been looking for some new ones I found Criminal, Unsolved Murders: True Crimes, No Sleep. Granted I had to stop listening to No sleep cause I just couldn't sleep too creepy but the story telling was excellent. Unsolved Murders reminds me of old school radio dramas or radio plays where they actually act out the murders rather then just tell you about them.
No Sleep is great but it's name is accurate. I can't sleep listening to it either. True Murder is a good one too, though the audio quality takes some getting used to.
can someone recommend podcasts similar to the two princes or anything fantasy + adventure... i love those!
I think you may like CARAVAN It's my favorite after the two princes
Limetown! similar to The Black Tapes. Story about a town in Tennessee where all the residents disappear overnight.
+Gerald Cho Ooo. Thank you that sounds great.
another one i can recommend is Archive 81. It's about found recordings, made by a missing archivist, documenting recordings made by his predecessor regarding strange occurrences at a public high rise apartment. it's weird in a good way! haha
Again, sounds stellar. Thank you. :)
The white vault (scary)
Wooden overcoats (funny)
That's all you need
Try REM Waking World podcast. A story of a man in isolation who sleeps too much dreams to much and gets further isolated in a dream world.
Thank you so much. You seem very sweet.
Thanks, this podcast was useful to me
Glad to hear it!
Hi! I’m just starting out in this world of podcast story telling. Thank you for these recommendations. I’d love to get feed back too if you have time.
Thanks for the recommendations great video👍
thanks, that was very helpful!
