Definitely my favorite podcast to listen to when I’m winding down from the day. You can really listen and hear how much effort is put into this podcast and I just love that they put so much love into it. 5 stars for sure
Excellent

High production value and variety of themed stories. Favorite horror podcast for short fiction stories. Suddenly shocking for micro-fiction. Sleepless decompositions scratches the itch for gore and body horror.
Too many gays and stories about gays.

Used to be the best - now every other story has a queer protagonist or homo storyline. Frequently skip those episodes, which is at least one a week.

The NoSleep Podcast is a multi-award winning anthology series of original horror stories, with rich atmospheric music to enhance the frightening tales.
