United Kingdoma month ago - Great Podcast
I don’t normally write reviews. Uncanny is a great podcast. On my second listen through and for anyone thinking of starting it, do. You won’t be disappointed.
Apple Podcasts5Joeburgh1430United Kingdoma month ago - If you’re looking for spooky, look no further!
I’ve been following Uncanny since The Battersea Poltergeist. As a School of Parapsychology alumni I love how the well-researched cases are dissected & discussed. Anyone into ghosts & other weird encounters will quickly find themselves hooked!

This podcast is brilliant. A balanced analysis of very interesting cases, really thought-provoking. Highly recommend.
Apple Podcasts5RUBY SLIPPERSUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Back catalogue is great
Uncanny used to be amazing - and so well produced so kudos to the producer. I feel like the latest season contained a lot of offcuts and didn’t feel immersive in the same way. I understand how busy Danny is now with various offshoots - but it does come though in the quality. The Magnet was a good ep though, as was The Priest Hole. I return to old favourites a lot - and there is a real difference. Love Evelyn and Kieran of course as well!!
