Highly surprising there's been no mention of the Mysteries and Monsters podcast. Paul Bestall is a great, knowledgeable but unobtrusive host and he has a tremendous cast of notable guests, with plenty of time to delve and discuss each week. Well worth it.

Just took a look. They have some truly interesting guests on their podcasts. Thanks for the recommendation, I'm now following them.
 
Interesting episode.

Ancient artifacts on the beaches of Northern Europe, and how we remember music
By Joel Goldberg, Meagan Cantwell, Andrew CurryMar. 19, 2020 , 2:00 PM

Science Podcast

On this week’s show, host Joel Goldberg talks with science journalist Andrew Curry about archaeological finds from thousands of years ago along the shores of Northern Europe. Curry outlines the rich history of the region that scientists, citizen scientists, and energy companies have helped dredge up.

Also this week, from a recording made at this year’s AAAS annual meeting in Seattle, host Meagan Cantwell speaks with Elizabeth Margulis, a professor at Princeton University, about musical memory. Margulis explains what research tells us about how our brains process music, and dives into her own study on how Western and non-Western audiences interpret the same song differently.
This week’s episode was edited by Podigy.

Radio rental - no not the shop. Very eerie stories submitted by listeners. Not quite like anything else.

Scarg - Right up your alley.

Naughty, if you like hearing listener stories, try "The Ghost Story Guys". The two podcasters have a very good and quite humerous rapport. They request stories from listeners and write and narrate them on their podcast. Their podcast is every two weeks. I found them on Spotify.

I've been listening to them since they started out :)
 
A philosophical podcast about "ghosts in the machine" with ideas of Marc Fisher. It's good if this style of postmodernism is your thing.
Also about two cases of people meeting deceased relatives through technology.

Ok, I will reply to my own post as I'm surprised no one else has had their funny bone tweaked. lol
This is what my brain does to me in the early morning hours - "Oh yeah, you forgot..." - when I can do nothing about it.
 
I've just started listening to podcasts produced from Into The Fray Radio

https://intothefrayradio.com/

Well produced and with a broad range of Fortean topics covering ghosts, Sasquatch and other crypto creatures, mysterious areas of the U.S (think Bridgewater Triangle & the Hockomock Swamp, UFOs, local legends and a whole lot more.
Highly recommended, I'm enjoying this a lot. So much so I've just ordered their Bigfoot book.
 
Anyone interested in religious cults would do well to check out 'end of days' from BBC radio 5 live, which follows the British branch davidians (there were quite a lot of them) at Waco and their families.
I just noticed this post. I also recommend this one. Despite the British angle, as an American I found it quite interesting. It was also where I first heard of the chip butty, so I have a special place in my heart - and stomach - for it.

Might I also recommend sir considers the fish finger sandwich with tomato sauce (the only culinary situation where that garnish is deemed acceptable in polite society). And should sir be feeling out of sorts, a pie roll - which is a pie (my personal recommendation being steak and kidney) in a roll, and will aid in the alleviation of even the most severe of hangovers - and possibly even death itself.

The British guy gets on my nerves though.

That sounds great, thanks for the heads up.
 
FT's very own Stu Neville in a fascinating interview on Paul Bestal's great Mysteries & Monsters podcast. https://mysteriesandmonsters.podbean.com/e/mysteries-and-monsters-episode-62-stu-neville/

Since you've recommended Paul's superb podcast on these pages, I've been listening to one almost daily (including your first one with him). I like his style, knowledgeable, informative, a great range of interesting topics, not over opinionated and sounds like one of the Hairy Bikers. What's not to like?

Paul has done some great interviews and hes got a bunch more coming up. Always a treat.

Definitely - they're all worth a listen. Paul's a great interviewer, really brings out the best in everyone, and has some of the biggest and most respected names in the field as guests (or if none of them are available and he's really desperate, me.)

So when can we expect your rendition of "Imagine" then?

Any coincidence that you happened to be a guest on there? :) Yeah, I just discovered his podcast when looking for stuff about the "Credible Witness" books and I've listened to a few of his episodes since like the phantom hitchhiker and Dyatlov Pass ones. He's a good host. Although he does say, "you know" rather a lot.
Recently I've got into unsolved crimes and The Trail Went Cold is great, as is Trace Evidence. There's one called The Great Unsolved I don't know if I mentioned before which is also good, and she does one that focuses on Missing 411 cases called Gone In An Instant.
 
I’ve unsubscribed from most of the paranormal, fortean podcasts. Most centre wholly on interviews with people who have the most outrageous stories to tell and have a book to promote. The Weird Tales Radio Show is the latest; the previous enjoyable format has changed to centre mostly on the type of interviews mentioned above.
I don’t know if podcasts like these are pressured into conforming with the requirements of their host or maybe have run out of interesting material to present. Weird Tales Radio Show is a weekly podcast but I would rather have it back in the old format once or twice a month than subscribe to the new format on a weekly basis.

I agree with you. Mysterious Universe is like that, it's nearly always some crazy, outlandish story from someone selling a book. Even Astonishing Legends I've found boring in recent months. That's why I switched to the true crime podcasts.

Yep AL has certainly dipped a lot. Blurry Photo's too, David Flora had a real chance to grill skeptic Debroah Hyde recently but just ended up agreeing with everything she said. I wanted him to talk about the armchair nature of modern skeptics who write off the paranormal without doing any actual direct investigation, it's a weather balloon, swamp gas, owls, etc, pontificating that really gets up my nose.

I never liked MU, the hosts are irritating as hell.

Mine are down to:

Expanded Perspectives - I like the hosts.
Blurry - I'm hanging in there
Astonishing - see above
Ghost Story Guys
Anything Ghost
Monsters Among Us
Knock Once For Yes - (please never do an interview with those bybbuk box people again - ridiculous)
Hysteria 51 - if the subject is interesting.
Stuff they don't want you to know.
