Hello Readers,
I know the audiobook argument is still raging strong. I have fallen out of love with audiobooks and I have gone to the dark side I love podcasts! I haven't been asked by any of the podcast to mention them, all feeling are my own and I wanted to share the love. Confession time I have had an interest in true crime and serial killers for a while, I also have a love of myths and legends and I love being spooked out. I have honestly lost track the number of times that I’ve been that immersed listening to ‘And That’s Why We Drink’, ‘Haunted Places’ or ‘Serial Killers’ that I’ve heard a noise and I’ve had to turn the lights on or shut the door you know real stuff that’s going to save me.
Myths and Legends by Jason Weiser

I have listened to most of the episodes and I just love everything about this podcast! The presentation is straightforward, complex stories are broken down which means the narratives are made to be relatable despite how old the stories are and are entertaining. the original stories behind King Arthur and his legendary knights, Robin Hood, or Aladdin. Jason’s show brings you folklore that has shaped our world. Some are incredibly popular stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories that might be new to you but are definitely worth a listen. Jason also relighted my love of Baba Yaga! I have listened to some episodes over again and enjoy them just as much as I did the first time. These are stories of magic, kings, Vikings, dragons, knights, princesses, and wizards from a time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous, wonderful, and terrifying place.

You’ve heard of haunted houses, haunted cemeteries, haunted islands but do you know how a normal place can become paranormal minefield? Every haunted place on earth has a frightening, real backstory. Greg (Co-Host of Serial Killers) takes you on an audio tour of a new haunted place, and its haunted history, every episode. I find Greg's voice soothing at times and I love getting a new perspective on places that ghost shows have gone! I enjoy the style of Greg’s storytelling and the visual created with these stories There is brief history and then a story in the first person, to get you visualizing the scares personally. I’ve had to turn the lights on while listening to this or stopped the episode until its daylight.

This is a little more scripted than ATWWD and there is a more formal feel about the information that is been given out.
