anyone got any good horror (ish, esque, or like) podcasts? like i love looveeee some good horror stories, not picky on topics- except for needles or too in-depth medical sickness or hunger/starving
i just cant do sudden yelling (or much yelling at all) nor can i do more than tops three characters talking at a time, really prefer it to just be one character mainly or two (which is why tma was great! until the first season end where Jon yelled and i couldn't listen to it again)
To make it easier hopefully- triggers I can't take:
Needles, medical trauma or in-depth medical anything, hunger/ starvation or humours around it, eye trauma (quick mention is okay), yelling/screaming (very faint and far away is fine), zombies, sound effects like eating, drinking or anything gooey

Podcast recommendation for friends and co
Podcasts I’m subscribed to and love with my whole heart (alphabetically):
Alice Isn’t dead: Story about a lady driving a truck and looking for her wife, it already starts out by being a little bit into the horror genre and it’s really great. It has 10 episodes so far and there should be season two. Night Vale Presents podcast. http://www.nightvalepresents.com/aliceisntdead/
Ars Paradoxica: A physicist from 20xx travels back in time to the year 1943 with her own time machine. She gets stuck there and records herself  and her journey. It has beautiful opening theme which I wholeheartedly love. I get a little bit lost in all different timelines later on and probably need to re-listen, but it’s brilliant and really cool podcast. Definitely recommend, even though it’s a bit harder to catch sometimes. https://arsparadoxica.com
The Bright Sessions: I saw somewhere description “like x-men getting therapy” and I really like that, all the characters (more or less) are lovable and amazing, it’s both really sweet and kickass. Totally one of my favourites. It also has a lot of like plus things such as playlists for some of the characters. It’s great. http://www.thebrightsessions.com
The Guardian’s Token: As the title says it’s one of the Guardian podcasts in which the amazing hosts (which changed like half way through, but the newer ones, Leah Green and Fred McConnell, are the best hosts ever and the reason why I subscribed) talk about topics like race, gender and similar topics (thus the name Token). It’s really interesting but also often quite funny. https://www.theguardian.com/society/series/token
The Once and Future Nerd: Alright this is ABSOLUTELY one of my favourites. It’s a story about three children/teens that get stuck in a fantasy world (like D&D kind of fantasy? I love that part of distinguishing people are their accents which are kind of all over the place, that’s loads of fun) + some plotting which these characters get sucked into. The characters are amazingly build, both the children and characters that are from the fantasy world. It’s fun but also dramatic, a lot of stuff happening, amazing story. And the talky Q&A episodes are also a lot of fun. One of those podcasts I want to re-listen right after finishing (I WILL DO THAT, I just have too many podcasts on my list). The start was a little bit slow? but then it gets really great. http://onceandfuturenerd.com
The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air): It makes me cry, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry because it’s just so cute and because oh my dear Julian (main character). Story about a silly little dreamy janitor that wants to be featured on radio show (that broadcasts from the top of the Eiffel Tower). It’s silly, it breaks my heart and I love it from the bottom of my heart and core of my bones. Seriously, please listen to this one, it’s so pure. Also Night Vale Presents podcast. http://orbitinghumancircus.com
The Penumbra Podcast: Goooood shit, it’s a podcast about stories from a hotel called “The Penumbra”. Main story is about a private eye in Hyperion City (biggest city on Mars) called Juno Steel and his cases. It got me hooked right away. The other stories, which go from a horror story to a love uncommon western love story, are also brilliant and totally deserve more listeners. I do not know how many people listen to this podcast but I am sure that there should be more. http://thepenumbrapodcast.com
Welcome To Night Vale: For me it seems like a podcasting classic, it’s the first thing I subscribed to, it’s the one that got me into the world of podcasts. Story about a strange town called “Night Vale” told by Cecil Gershwin Palmer, Night Vale’s radio host. It’s a lot of fun and the voice of Night Vale (Cecil Baldwin) is amazing. The stories from Night Vale are mysterious, hilarious and sometimes a little bit silly (often.. and a lot). Recently it hit its 100 episode. Obviously the first Night Vale presents podcast. http://www.welcometonightvale.com
Within The Wires: Relaxing Cassettes that makes you feel a little bit trippy. Like they tell you, you’re a fly. But then it gets like super fucked up and amazing. Another one of Night Vale presents podcasts. Like Alice isn’t Dead it has 10 episodes and I think there should be season two. http://www.nightvalepresents.com/withinthewires
Witch, Please: Hilarious and brilliant Harry Potter podcast that I can’t shut up about, hosted by two amazing and clever women. Discusses all the HP books and movies (spoiler alert, there is a guy with a film degree) into really funny details (such as the everlasting question: do the characters wear pants under their robes?). A lot of feminism, jew watch and discussions about how JK Rowling is not a good HP reader. http://ohwitchplease.ca
Wolf 359: Another one of my all time favourites, story about communication officer Doug Eiffel, orbiting around a rad dwarf star (I think) Wolf 359. It’s hilarious and when it gets sad there still is our favourite character, Stabby the Space Roomba. You won’t hear about him in the show at all but HE IS REAL, BELIEVE ME. In all seriousness, the show is amazingly, soundtrack is really beautiful and the whole cast is made of amazing and amazingly sounding people. It’s a really great podcast that I do recommend to anyone. http://www.wolf359.fm
And that’s all from my subscribed podcasts! I do love other as well, from nonfiction a lot of science podcasts, some BBC podcasts are really great, Guardian also has awesome podcasts, from fiction I am starting Rude Alchemy which is hilarious, MarsCorp sounds great (I started because I loved the soundtrack), Jim Robbie and the wanderers is REALLY amazing (I do recommend that), EOS10 is fun, Hello from the Magic tavern makes me laugh in public transport a lot, it’s so hilarious. And there a LOT more amazing podcast that I didn’t finish or even start yet. But those are my favourites!
