I love a good story! These are the podcasts I often recommend to friends and family and that have either great storytelling, a creative premise or impressing sound design.

With great sound design and voice actors, great pacing and chilling suspense, this is one of my favorite podcasts (and the one that got me hooked on podcasts) If you like mysteries, the idea of something ancient and frightening lurking in a cor | ||||||||||
A great anthology podcast with some recurring stories or themes (though less than stated in the intro). This podcast is the best of both worlds, with innovative stories by Indie writers and superb sound design by the BBC. Great if you are looki | ||||||||||
This is one of the best Indiepodcasts I know, with truly unique world building and characters that feel real (and so do the cultures which stories they tell). The format took some getting used to, but it actually works really well. The sound de | ||||||||||
Tanis has exceptional music and sounds that really amplify the story. If you love a good mysterie, like taking walks in a rainy or foggy forrest and are into Lovecraftian horror this is the podcast for you! And if you fall in love with this pod | ||||||||||
This podcast takes place in the same universe as Tanis, but has more of a gothic novel feel to it. Recommended if you like a ghost story, want to listen to a classic format mysterie podcast or enjoy a lovecraftian undertone. Be warned though, t | ||||||||||
Not all my recommendations are horror podcasts thankfully! This series has really cool characters and a nice story about strange and unusual people dealing with their **** and each other. | ||||||||||
Unwell is tragic, endearing, funny and spooky all at the same time! Suitable for fans of family drama series but also a nice mysterie with characters you'll fall in love with. | ||||||||||
If you like Unwell but are looking for a non-fiction podcast, I recommend giving Family Ghosts a try. Each episode features a different story, experienced by real people. From a deep dive into a cult to looking for the mishing ashes of a family | ||||||||||
Out of Place really doesn't get the attention it deserves! Recommended if you're a fan of alternate histories, like shows about weird archives or if you're looking for a calm but interesting listen give it a try! | ||||||||||
The Magnus Archives is a great podcast for the more advanced or commited listener. It comes across as an anthology podcast at first, but it's actually a very elegantly and patiently built stories that deserves a full listen (and please don't li | ||||||||||
ars Paradoxica is a strange but very enjoyable combination of cold war army conspiracy and time travel paradoxes. It has a nice strong female lead. | ||||||||||
The ambiance in this podcast is marvellous and the characters are endearing and easy to relate to (even if they live in a light house that inexplicably travels around the world). The show is currently (in 2021) on hiatus but I'm really hoping t | ||||||||||
I don't normally listen to comedy podcasts but this one is GREAT! The Amelia Podcast is full of somewhat morbid and absurd humor, funny characters and hot cocoa. As the seasons progress, it shifts from a "client of the week" story to some seaso | ||||||||||
If you are interested in ARPG's this story from the makers of Tanis and The Black Tapes is up your alley. I would describe this as a thriller, recommended if you like police procedurals with a science fiction twist. | ||||||||||
I'm not really sure how to define this podcast, other than it being a tragic but exciting story that wraps up nicely in one season (which is great if you don't want to commit to a multiple seasons story). Be sure to look up the trigger warnings | ||||||||||
Go and listen to this podcast! It has a strong female lead and a truly original story. The vibe and atmosphere in Alice Isn't Dead is awesome and transported me to a strange and spooky world of high way mysteries and the gnawing feeling of bein | ||||||||||
I was a bit apprehensive about this show at first but it's actually really cool. Different kinds of monsters and legends are brought into this narrative but unlike most monster mysteries, they aren't the subject of the story. Jar of Rebuke is | ||||||||||
I wasn't planning on including this one because the story never got a good ending, but I just read that The Tower is returning for a second season (Yeay!). Without being too scary, this podcast really pulled me in with it's unusual Scottish tak | ||||||||||
Not the greatest sound design or story wrap up, but the premise and world building of The Left Right Game is very unique and interesting. Imagine getting in your car and turning left, than right, than left, and so on untill slowly reality start | ||||||||||
The White Vault is a bit of a slow burner with a nice hint of multilingualism (don't worry, the parts that aren't in English get translated) and an international cast. The story starts out in Svalbard but moves to a different part of the world | ||||||||||
LifeAfter and The Message are two different stories by the same makers, which makes these podcasts perfect if you want a story that spans just one season. The Message is my favorite of the two, with a nice linguistic angle. If you enjoy Black M LifeAfter and The Message are two different stories by the same makers, which makes these podcasts perfect if you want a story that spans just one season.

If you are looking for a solid mystery podcast with characters that feel like you know them in real life, look no further. The vibe of this podcast is great and I'm very curious to see where the story goes. | ||||||||||
Another non-fiction podcast (or is it, creator Danny Robins doesn't really seem to know either) that's a real must-listen. I wish I could believe in the supernatural but I'm a real sceptic and this podcast caters to that. A good mix of mystery, | ||||||||||
I started listening to this podcast with the idea that it was an ok story to entertain me while waiting for my other podcasts to come out with new episodes but boy was I wrong. The Sheridan Tapes quickly became one of my favorite stories, the s | ||||||||||
Very charming fairytale for cynical adults, it keeps surprising me with original ideas and great world building. A true gem that is very engaging yet a nice break from the gut wrenching horror I usually listen to. | ||||||||||
If you even look forward to the intro of a podcast you know you've found a great one! Great story telling, world building and a very cool vibe. The podcast starts out as a really good single narrator audio drama but progresses to a multi cast w | ||||||||||
