I listen to a lot of horror and true crime podcasts that offer a diverse range of topics, from real life hauntings and serial killers, to weird fictional corners of our world and ghost stories. Because it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of podcasts out there, and because some of them are available on one service but not another, I thought I'd put together a list of podcasts you might like to try - along with links to their websites.
