Forbidden Cassettes: Consummation is an analog horror podcast created by Kevin Scott Joiner & Adrian Vanderbosch. Dov Kandel has spent the better part of two decades exposing vast government conspiracies and exploring unsettling paranormal phenomena on his popular, late-night talk radio program, KANDEL AGAINST THE DARK. After interviewing thousands of callers and guests, he’s certain he’s heard it all. His next guest will prove him wrong. Author and investigator Orson Libretti has joined Dov for an unprecedented two-night discussion to promote his new novel, CONSUMMATION. It is an apocalyptic tale of cosmic horror. But for Orson, this is no ordinary book tour. Defying his publisher’s demands that the book be marketed as fiction, he insists that it is based on actual events — a cataclysmic chain reaction that annihilated a parallel universe. A questionable claim, to be sure, if he didn’t have the tapes to prove it. Content Warning: This series includes content that may be disturbing to some listeners, including discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation, sexual trauma, and animal harm and death.

Greetings, brave souls. I am Professor Adontes Finch, your guide through the shadowy realms of fear and the unknown. Step into The Nightmare Trials, where fact and fiction blur, and the most chilling tales come to life.

These aren’t mere stories of fantasy or wild imagination—each tale is steeped in terrifying truth. Passed down to me for analysis and experimentation, these accounts of horror have been meticulously dissected with the help of my loyal lab assistants and cutting-edge technology. Our mission? To unravel the deepest, darkest mysteries that lurk in the shadows and the sinister unknown.

Here in the lab, we dive into realms haunted by unspeakable creatures, eerie coincidences, and supernatural forces. Every episode pushes the boundaries of your understanding of the macabre. But beware—these stories aren't for the faint-hearted.

Prepare yourself for a journey through dread, fear, and the supernatural. Together, we will confront the horrors that defy reason, and with your help, we will unlock the unspeakable secrets that most dare not face.

So, strap in tight... the trials are about to begin.

An epic science-fiction sitcom for your ears about an unlikely human/alien friendship in the unluckiest place in Human space. It is the mid-26th Century. John B, a humble repairman and ”former human” (having lost his legal status as such), has left the Earth for mysterious reasons. He is perhaps the unluckiest being in Human space. He has wound up at the Human Exchange Concourse, or the ”HEC,” once the site of Humanity’s First Galactic Fair. It was the biggest flop in Human history. ”The Fairgrounds” is perhaps the unluckiest place in Human space. You don’t go there, you end up there. John’s luck seems to have changed when he gets a good apartment at an amazingly reasonable price only to find his roommate is Althaar, an Iltorian, who is determined to befriend a Human. (Iltorians are the kindest, nicest species in all known space, and natural diplomats, beloved by almost all, but their slightest presence causes Humans to instinctively respond with panic, fear, disgust, nausea, and loss of bodily functions). Can a Human and Iltorian live together without one of them driving the other crazy?

Hidden beneath layers of secrecy and isolation, Bunker 8 plunges you into one of the most classified military outposts on Earth. Jack, a hardened Australian ex-soldier, is sent to the desolate Antarctic facility for a six-month assignment. His mission? To oversee "assets" locked away in impenetrable cells, follow strict protocols, and, above all, never ask questions.


But as Jack descends into the depths of Bunker 8, he realizes there's far more to this facility than anyone let on. With unsettling isolation, strange anomalies, and a growing sense of unease, Jack must navigate an environment that tests his mental and physical limits. What are the "assets" he's tasked with monitoring? And why is everyone so afraid to even speak about what lies within?


If you're a fan of intense psychological thrillers, dark mysteries, and stories that leave you questioning reality, Bunker 8 will hook you from the first episode and leave you hungry for answers.
