  • Excellent podcast-within-a-podcast British folk horror

    I very much enjoyed The Wyrd Side! The well-written friendship between the two quite different lead characters is what makes it, together with atmospheric stories. While it is doing something quite different to The Lovecraft Investigations, it has a similar sort of vibe in the interaction between Aidan and Katherine.
