If I love uncanny…

[FurForksSake]

What should I listen to next? I’ve listened to the witch farm and all of uncanny, and I’m tempted just to start series 1 of uncanny again. But, are there are any similar podcasts I could enjoy?

other things I listen to, the gift (dna, on bbc sounds), infinite monkey cage, more or less, you’re dead to me. To give an idea of what sort of other stuff I listen to. But I really want more ghost stories / tales of the unexplained.

many thanks!!

I really enjoyed The White Vault. It’s fictional so not quite the same, but great plot lines and supernatural in tone. Listened to this straight after Uncanny. I also loved The Lovecraft Investigations, similar vibe.

There’s also Haunted, which was also by Danny Robins, and The Battersea Poltergeist.

I’ve listed to Battersea poltergeist but not haunted. I’ll look that up!

I’ll check out the other two recommendations too.

great start! Thank you

Some of my favourites are unexplained by Richard McLean Smith and Haunted UK. Yvette Fielding also does podcasts some of those are good and an American one called Morbid although not exclusively paranormal some true crime as well.
I listened to a very good multi episode one called ghost story by Tristan Redman a really fascinating story about a ghost he used to see when he was a child and the murder of his future wife's grandmother who it turned out had lived in the house next door... It's a great story.

Second the lovecraft investigations on bbc sounds but they’ve recently taken the second series down which is annoying (1st, 3rd and 4th still up though).

I am constantly searching for podcasts like Uncanny. Most I have found are American. I like:
And that's why we drink (one true crime/one paranormal story per Episode)
Otherworld (fans tell their paranormal stories- my current favourite)
Scary

If you have Audible then I enjoyed Spooky Shit with Jamali Maddix

Honestly, I haven't found anything I like as much but these are my best replacements whilst waiting for a new series to start!

The Magnus Archives!! It's a slow burn but so worth sticking with it.

Bad people is also good if you like crime flavoured weird shit

The Parapod - comedy - skeptic vs. believer.

Yeti is good.

Weird In The Wade is quite good. Available on BBC Sounds. https://weirdinthewade.blog/

This one is quite interesting - on Apple Podcasts/spotify.

Jim Harold's Campfire is a phone in with a charming American oh-shucks-gee-whiz host.

Did you listen to ‘The Battersea Poltergeist’ too, also by Danny Robins?

Another good one is ‘Bad People’ on BBC Sounds and ‘The Missing’

Into the Fog with Peter Laws, I normally watch on YouTube but I think it's also available as a podcast. It's the only one I like as much as uncanny.

Any and all things by Julian Simpson (he of The Lovecraft Investigations).

I've just listened to Haunted (on Spotify) and it was good, but not as good as Uncanny IMO.

I use BBC almost exclusively for Podcasts. On my Subscribed List at the moment are:
The entire collection from Tortoise Investigates
Stalked (ongoing)
The Curious History of Your Home
Uncharted with Hannah Fry
Intrigue
Bad Women (AMAZING)
The Forgotten Dead
Lady Killers/Lady Swindlers
The Con
Limelight

I listen to a lot of podcasts!

How do you tolerate the narrator on Unexplained? I just had a listen and oh my that awful, bored two-tone of voice he uses is painful. It sounds like he’s reading a shopping list.

You’d probably like ‘The Missing’ & ‘Bad People’

It's not spooky/supernatural, but I got properly engrossed by Death In Ice Valley. Fascinating and strange. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p060ms2h

Yep and the witch farm. I feel like a Danny robins super fan!!

I was just about to recommend this. It's fantastic.

For another mystery, the second series of Guilt by Ryan Wolf is endlessly puzzling.

I love After Dark - it’s not paranormal, more gruesome history.

I can’t post anything useful (apart from also recommending Lady Killers) but I just want you to know that I have exactly the same taste in podcasts…

😆

I am currently enjoying Danny Robins book on Audible

I have nothing to add. Just shamelessly bookmarking having finished the last Danny Robins podcast in my list. I’ve listened to them all and loved them!

Oops, the post I was replying to was recommending Death in Ice Valley. Somehow managed to delete the quote.

Oh hello, My People!

I would second (third, fourth) anything Julian Simpson has written but some of it just isn't available any more. Lots is on Youtube though. His cast is a bit like a theatre's company - the same actors keep coming back again and again but often cast in different roles. Some of his cast are absolutely fantastic, and I nurture a massive crush on whichever character Nicola Walker is playing.

I'm a huge Uncanny Danny fan (so is DS now and we're seeing the roadshow again this year) and must have listened to Battersea Poltergeist and Witch Farm several times over, not to mention the series. I found Haunted almost a bit ... amateur, but clearly it's his Early Work.

Anyway, I love listening to this silly spooky stuff while in my workroom making stuff, and I find that some of the series made by Limelight hit the same sort of spot. There was a good one recently about a condition where life expectancy was doubled - that was thought-provoking. Another Limelight series I listened to a fair bit of was Hareland. I lost interest in the end but it's spooky and unsettling.

Something genuinely spooky that I love and have listened to several times is The Hotel, a series of short stories, each narrated by a different woman (and great actor) about the same place, a sinister hotel in the Fens. They're interlinked. I can't say how much I love this series and really hope Daisy Johnson does more like it.
