Podcasts for the Season of the Witch 🐈‍⬛

A curated list of Halloween-themed podcasts you won't want to miss

Greetings from the Amtrak train transporting many attendees from RESONATE Podcast Festival in Richmond, Virginia back to various points along the northeast corridor. Missed the event? Here’s an excellent recap from Wil Williams of Tink Media. And here’s a playlist I put together featuring all of the podcasts mentioned onstage during the festival. Happy listening!

Why this theme?

👉🏽 It’s October, which means it’s finally socially acceptable to be spooky about all things! I’m taking this opportunity to share my curation of terrifying podcasts. Remember to check under your bed and inside your closet before pressing play.

Podcast Picks

The White Vault podcast cover art

Arctic tundras, white wastelands spanning across Svalbard, and a mystery under the ice. Need I say more? The White Vault: Goshawk returns for its second season, just in time to chill your spine for Halloween.

That Scares Me Too podcast cover art

A combination of cultural nuance and scary myths, That Scares Me Too is perfect for this month. Hosts Dr. Sophie Yang and K.A. Statz discuss myths and tales of horror from Taiwan and Asia. This is nonfiction but I wished it was fiction.

Afflicted podcast cover art

No spooky podcast list is complete without a shade of Lovecraftian horror — and Afflicted scratches just that itch. Small town and demonic disasters. Only remedy? Hoodoo itself. Enjoy the complete first season.

Re:Dracula podcast cover art

You think you’ve seen/heard it all when it comes to the famed monster, but Re: Dracula is here to challenge that. Based on the Bram Stoker novel, the first season takes the famous horror tale, breaks it up chronologically, and sends the story directly to your podcatcher as it happens, in a real-time, diary entry format!

Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest podcast cover art

We can’t leave the kids out of this, can we? Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest is a fantastic podcast that features retellings of classic fairy tale myths for the curious kids out there. Each episode is also marked on a scale of grim to grimmest so parents can decide if they want to skip a particular one.
