Certainly nothing weird. Why would you even suggest that? Listen close. Don't wander off. It's a long way to get where you're going. Especially out here.

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.

In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world.

Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.

What do you do when your boyfriend goes missing? Engage in a series of strategic hookups to solve the mystery, of course. THE HOOKUP is a risqué mystery-thriller following a college student who thinks he’s funnier than he is, driven by the hunger to locate his missing beau. But-- as our hero will soon learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
**CONTENT WARNING: This podcast contains sexually explicit themes and scenarios. Some content may not be suitable for all ages. Listener discretion advised.**
The women from the tale of Jason and the golden fleece face space monsters, reality TV stars, and the sometimes benevolent, mostly dangerous Olympus Corp as they take on the quest to return the Fleece to Colchis.
It’s got pirates, it’s got sentient spaceships, and it’s All About The Ladies! It’s also very queer.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
At the Penumbra, you might follow Juno Steel, a brooding, sharp-witted private eye on Mars, as he tangles with an elusive homme fatale, tracks dangerous artifacts of an ancient alien civilization, and faces his three greatest fears: heights, blood, and relationships.
Or you might enter the world of the Second Citadel, where the merciless Sir Caroline must corral a team of emotionally distraught all-male knights to defend their city against mind-manipulating monsters...even the ones they’ve fallen in love with.
These audio dramas and more await you in the Penumbra, dear traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Start with "1.01: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask" or "1.09: Second Citadel - The Head of the Janus Beast.")

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.
