Who am I?
I'm the creator and writer of the Ostium Podcast and the Circe Podcast. I've been gobbling up podcasts since 2016 and if there's a new gripping audiodrama coming, chances are I'll be listening. For me info about me and my shows, be sure to check out ostiumnetwork.com. I've been listening to audiodramas for over seven years, and as a huge horror I've listened to a lot of good ones. Now it's time for you to enjoy them.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
Ostium is a story about a hidden town that gets discovered where there are no people, but many doors that lead to different places in the past, the future, and sometimes into our main character, Jake Fisher's, troubled history. At times Ostium gets dark and scary, so I'm plenty familiar with giving a listener a thrill.
What is my podcast playlist about?
It's Halloween season, which means people want to be scared. I actually think it's plenty fun to be scared all year, but people especially like to be in October. And here are my recommendations for the scariest audiodramas out there!

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.
