  • There’s a factory, long since abandoned, sealed up and left to rot for over twenty years. And yet when young podcaster, May, arrives looking for answers about two missing urban explorers, she only finds more questions. Why can she hear laughter echoing through the empty halls? Why can she hear toy commercials playing on TV’s that nobody is watching? And why are there still toys here, as if waiting for somebody, anybody, to play with them? Mostly, though, why is there a brutally murdered body on the floor? Forced to venture deeper inside, she will have to uncover the mysteries of the toy factory, the magic and ancient horror at its core, and come face-to-face with the toymaker himself.

  • Welcome to the Old Mill Lane... From the team behind the chart-topping horror storytelling podcast The Other Stories comes an ambitious new audio anthology starring the voice of British horror icon Emily Booth, alongside a cast of Hawk & Cleaver regulars. To celebrate Halloween, The Midnight Macabre Podcast – hosted by Laura Lambton (Emily Booth) – presents a week of daily live broadcasts from Old Mill Lane in Bramshire, a location with a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in Britain. Each night, Laura introduces a story reconstructed from the gruesome past of the mill, in an effort to unpick the mysteries of its dark history, culminating in a grand finale as Halloween arrives.

  • The Other Stories Presents: Invincible flesh, broken heart The Bulletproof series was never meant to be, but the audience response and fan reaction kept Joanne Askew writing more adventures, putting Audrey into more scenarios. What started with the author wanting to bring the circus ring to space, turned into a thought experiment, twisted tales of how a girl could take anything thrown at her. What could the girl who couldn't die, do next? For more check out, www.TheOtherStories.Net Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Nathan Alabaster’s life has gone to hell but luckily his childhood dog has just moved in. She’s amazing. She s***s cash, can talk to Nathan with her mind, and once taught the kid down the street how to speak Japanese. Also, she can catch. It’s all going well until two dognappers enter the picture and Nathan has to go back to his family home to find his lost mum and her army of dogs. Sweet like a Pixar movie but riotous and absurd. For fans of The Mighty Boosh, Wes Anderson movies, Adventure Time, and a little bit of Bojack Horseman. For more, head to www.lukekondor.com. Hosted on Acast.
