Who am I?
I am a math tutor, a comedy fiction podcaster, and the kind of guy who sits around staring at a wall and wondering what he's doing with his life. I love comedy, particularly when it's frequently off-putting. A number of these podcasts were what gave me the inspiration to go into podcasting to begin with, and so I think that they're particularly worth mentioning.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
My podcast, Liminal Criminals, is a comedy fiction podcast that has the conceit of being a true crime podcast from another world. While it generally leans towards the absurd and comedic, some episodes introduce a somewhat horrific element that certain nerds may classify as "eldritch."
What is my podcast playlist about?
My podcast playlist is all about the three F's: Funny, Fictional and Freaky. If you want to laugh, be fascinated, and occasionally scared by the you podcast, these are some of my all-time favorites in that regard.
1. Beef And Dairy Network
Why this podcast?

Less is Morgue is an award-winning comedy fiction podcast about Riley, a paranoid ghoul, and Evelyn, a cheerful ghost who died at a Nickelback concert in 2004. Together, they host a basement talk show where paranormal chaos is par for the course. Set in an alternate Tallahassee, Florida, where monsters are mundane and the supernatural is typical, you can expect a whirlwind of absurdist horror-comedy, more eccentric characters than you can possibly imagine, and a strangely touching story about friendship, found family, and personal growth. Start with Episode 101. Season 2 is here!
