This long-running podcast sprung up in 2011 when members of the r/nosleep subreddit decided to start turning some of its creepy stories into audio recordings. Over the years, it’s grown into a bigger and more ambitious anthology series, and also moved forward with a novel subscription model that lets the podcast generate revenue while still offering pared-down versions of its multi-story episodes for free. With 11 seasons under its belt, The No Sleep Podcast has a lot of content to listen to, and there’s no doubt something there to creep out and disturb everyone.
Starting in 2016, this anthology podcast follows Jonathan Sims, who purports to be an archivist for The Magnus Institute. The group catalogs accounts of the disturbing and the supernatural, and over the course of the podcast Sims, and other cast members, read the accounts found in the Institute’s archives as a sort of audio permanent record. Sims’ crisp voice, and the largely minimalist production, lend the stories an eerie, creeping dread that speaks to just how powerful a well-acted tale can truly be.
