Have you checked out I Am In Eskew?There just has not been much of interest to me in the genre lately.
Tanis is terrible, Magnus has gotten too meta, and everything else either wrapped up or is not putting out eosiodes.
I might just have to join you on the Creepy patreon train. I haven't listened to much of it but it's definitely scratching that old school NoSleep itch.It really died off in here haha
The ending of Ars Paradoxica throughly satiated me. Couldn't ask for more really. Would love to see a tv show adaption of it. Its ripe for it.
Hopefully Within the Wires actually picks a format that works for season 3. Season 2 proved to be a waste of time and was unengaging because they thought itd be a good idea to describe art to you rather than show it. Might have worked better if it was any other museum sans art.
EOS 10 getting another season is suprising considering it just vanished one day haha. Liked what ive heard so far tho.
Uncanny County continues to be one of my favorite podcasts around. Hope it goes on for awhile
And Creepy's pateron fee continues to be one of the best investments ive done for podcasts. Dude puts in work while no sleep continues to falter. Pseudopod is showing some promise as another horror podcast to bump tho
https://www.patreon.com/KingFallsAMKing falls am is getting good after Tim Jensen returns
Btw, how do people earn money from this podcast? Does spotify also pay them since i almost find most of them on spotify?
If you enjoy the free feed it's def worth the $5 a month. Dude is undercharging himself honestly, 4 stories a week is a lot for what he charges. Latest (bonus) episode was great too, gave me massive Dead Space vibes.I might just have to join you on the Creepy patreon train.

I've given Pseudopod a few tries, I could never get into it.

I was not expecting a five nights at freddys story on the No Sleep episode this week lmao. Was one of the better stories they've had too.
Can't wait for September/October. Lotta shows coming back
B is for BalloraThey had a freddy story? I found this week's episode underwhelming and just had it as background noise.
I am in Eskew is basically novel reading. The second episode is pretty interesting though
The consistent problem with no sleep is it seems to think that 35 min of backstory and 2-3 min of horror is a horror story. That was the exact problem with the plant story, the entire kid part of the story could have been cut out. The worst are the stories which take up the whole episode and feature a whole 5min of horror, like the borascla(?) Story.I think i'm nearing the end of my enjoyments of NoSleep, the stories read more like short stories than creepy urban legend stories. I'm starting to skip stories, something I've rarely done. The production and voice acting is too polished and for me starts to take away from the confusion, mystery and terror lf horror.
Fleshgait on creepy is one of the best stories I've heard. It hits a good cadance of horror and continous tension.
Itms not even the time length, Fleshgait by Creepy was the best story I've heard in a year. It had

Anyway, creepys burgrr entries was damn good. Love when authors try to describe otherworlds
With you on this. Also, like so many of these types of stories, once the creepy stuff became A Thing, it became far less interesting. It's hard to reveal information about an unknowable force without making it... knowable. I love the setting and conceit, but, eh.The ending to Alice isn't dead was kinda disappointing.
Having this grand conspiracy come down to a brawl, between a few people, in the middle of nowhere just deflated the whole thing for me.
It also felt like they should've brought Alice into the story sooner. I never really felt invested in her or her relationships to any of the other characters. The show always felt weaker when they moved the perspective away from Keisha.
Ending was kinda meh I agree. Also agree that Alice's perspective shoulda been brought into the picture during S1, instead of during the finale.The ending to Alice isn't dead was kinda disappointing.

Hell yeah I do!
imo The Magnus Archives only gets better with repeated listening.I'm on episode 45 of MAG, so I guess I'm around the beginning of season 2? I'm a bit unclear on that. Anyway, any good resources to refresh my memory on the overarching story? I feel like listening to creepy horror stories, but it's been quite a while since I've listened to this.
You could screen Uncanny County and Fairy tales for unwanted children. Besides that i got nothing that might be child friendlyCan anyone recommend any god child friendly fictional podcasts? My 6 year old daughter has overheard bits of what I listen to and is interested and I thought it would be nice if there was something we could listen to together but my playlists is either too scary/creepy, has swearing or weird humour I don't think she would get. She would be fine with a bit of mild scariness and mystery, two of her favourite shows are Mystery Incorporated and Gravity Falls.

That's where I'm at. Eskew reminds me of the uneasy cosmic horror weirdness of early Magnus seasons, where things just happened and people were just caught in the midst. The lack of any concrete explanations is what made Magnus scary to me, compared to The Black Tapes which I had been listening to when I discovered Magnus. Magnus stories were often from a limited perspective, so there isn't really an explanation for why things happen or what the happenings are. We weren't trying to solve what was going like in Black Tapes. The people telling the stories weren't figuring what happened through ancient texts or folklore. These eerie things just happened and we were left in the dark just like those people. Because of that, the story in Magnus Archives had such a great sense of creepy unknown.Eskew has replaced Magnus as my favorite horror podcast right now. Magnus is still good but they're so bogged down by the meta and everything being explained or tied together conveniently, it has become much less interesting to me. There's no mystery left to most of it, and it just sort of has become a serialized drama now. Eskew is much creepier and seems to be doubling down on the unexplainable weirdness. I love it!
