What I’m Listening to: The NoSleep Podcast

Synopsis: The NoSleep Podcast is an award-winning anthology series of original horror stories. In Episode 20 of Season 19, the podcast ponders “weak and weary with tales about the killing kind.”

My take: Horror stories make perfect audio dramas. Creaking floorboards. Doors that moan open. Whispers in the night. Scratches at the window.

What I love about The NoSleep Podcast is that it’s more than just audio versions of stories. They take time to create soundtracks with eerie music and hair-raising sound effects.

And now that we’re well into spooky season, I’m listening to Season 19, Episode 20, which I recommend to everyone. My favorite story is “Mrs. Degree,” by Memphis Despain. Listen at night, by candlelight, and even better when you’re home alone.
