Who am I?
Micah is Co-Director/Creator/Producer and voice of Micah on How it Ends. Micah is a writer, TTRPG game master, and Co-Director of How it Ends. Most days, Micah can be found in their studio, hanging out with cats and planning how to TPK her players during an upcoming D&D session. Once, someone told Micah they were the personification of an arrow. Micah’s Sagittarius moon loved that; their Virgo sun said, so you’re saying I’m direct? I love spooky stories, mysteries, and anything that sends a chill down my spine. The best horror is clever horror and/or stories with an underlying message.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
How it Ends is a biweekly mystery audio drama that intertwines grief, dreams, secrets, memory, and mystery. -- Micah Jones starts a podcast to put her nightmares to rest but accidentally uncovers something much darker. Something she was never meant to find. On an ordinary evening in November 1993, Micah’s entire world collapsed when her father, Nolan, died in a car accident. Time passed, and Micah suffered from terrifying night terrors and a mysterious recurring dream that left her exhausted and on edge. How it Ends was meant to free her from her nightmares and help her deal with her loss… but Micah's world changes once again when she receives new information about her father’s accident from an unexpected source… And she discovers that sometimes dreams aren’t dreams at all—they’re memories.
What is my podcast playlist about?
The playlist comprises episodes from mystery and horror podcasts I think everyone should listen to. Some are anthologies, some are serial. Either way, I think they're excellent.
1. NIGHTLIGHT: A Horror Fiction Podcast
Why this podcast?
NIGHTLIGHT features horror stories from Black writers and performed by Black actors. BIPOC writers are underrepresented in an incredibly popular genre, and Tonia Ransom is a boss who is ready to tackle that head-on. The stories are excellent, and the performances are great. I'm not sure what more convincing you'd need?

4. Parkdale Haunt
Why this podcast?
Horror fiction written by women hits different. For me, it just does. Do not miss this show. The angle that the show is told from, the sound design, a "semi-disappearance" at the center of the story-I say semi, because well... you'll have to listen. There is so much to like about this show. Don't miss it.

Ever since Judith’s lifelong best friend, Claire Sterback, inherited a house from a biological family she never knew, things have begun to change. Claire has begun to change. It isn’t just that the house is full of cryptic notebooks, ominous scribblings on the wall, and has a basement that is colder than it should be. It isn’t just that Claire abruptly up and left her live-in boyfriend and is now being stalked by a psychopathic realtor. Claire is... off. As she gets closer to a secret at the heart of the old house in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, she is also getting closer to losing herself. After Claire goes missing - with the help of co-worker-turned-friend-Owen - Judith vies to track her down, even if it means diving into a history that may have been better left untouched.

5. Hello From The Hallowoods
Why this podcast?
For similar reasons to NIGHTLIGHT and Parkdale Haunt, and the fact that it's a high-quality show, queer rep in Horror is also important to me. Hello from the Hallowoods is excellent. I am particularly partial to the music in this show as well.
