The NoSleep Podcast

A childhood radio game takes a terrifying turn with screams; the power of audio horror and therapy is explored; a local legend called Pigfoot adds excitement to a new location; a devastating barn fire and a father-son confrontation fill the chapters; a preview of an upcoming series on the Mooncrawler cryptid is teased.

John Beardify, writer of 'Welcome to the Bar', and Phoebe Smith Stokes, writer of 'To Be Loved, and Made Twice', talk about eerie encounters in a haunting bar, strange conversations, a growing sense of fear, and discussions about death in this creepy episode.

This podcast features two stories from Season Pass 19 episodes. The first story takes place in a zoo with horrifying scenes in different animal enclosures. The second story follows a couple's encounter with a strange hitchhiker dressed as a clown, leading to unexpected events. The podcast also promotes the benefits of therapy and shares Season Pass information.
