Podcasts about Otherworld

Hey - Geoffrey here. I'd like to let you in on something super exciting coming up on Night Falls. On October 19th, we'll be launching a brand-new Romantasy series, adapted and designed for sleep. It's a slow-burn love story of two fae, two rival courts, broken bonds and forbidden love. Each chapter will take you further across the veil, deeper into a world caught in eternal twilight, where the Seelie and Unseelie courts sit side by side. We begin our journey at an equinox banquet, where Leanen Sidhe, lady of the Seelie court, is surprised by an uninvited guest. It's her childhood friend, Finn, now tall, dark, and, she hates to admit - incredibly handsome.  The last she saw him, it was ten years ago, and Finn was defecting into the night, heading to the Unseelie court, without even saying goodbye. Now, he's here to seek her help. And perhaps, her forgiveness, too… But Fae don't take broken bonds lightly. This is going to be an exclusive, subscriber-only series, which you can unlock by joining Night Falls Premium. Becoming a subscriber not only unlocks this new romantasy saga, but also gives you full access to hundreds of exclusive sleep stories, completely ad-free. So if you'd like to step into the Otherworld with me, and go on this deep, romantic journey — then now is the time to subscribe.

Read transcriptGather around power-level enthusiasts and tournament fighters, because this week on Play Comics we're charging up our ki and diving headfirst into the legendary slugfest that is Dragon Ball Z: Budokai for PS2 and GameCube. That's right, we're looking at the 2002 fighting game that asked the burning question “What if we took the first three arcs of Dragon Ball Z and squeezed them into a button-mashing experience that makes even the most patient Z-Fighter want to go Super Saiyan with frustration?” Developed by Dimps and published by Infogrames (back when they still existed and weren't just a nostalgic memory floating in gaming's hyperbolic time chamber), this cel-shaded beatdown promised to let players experience everything from Raditz's surprise family reunion to Cell's perfectionist power trip. What it delivered was a fighting system so basic that even Yamcha could probably figure it out, paired with enough beam struggles to make your thumbs file for workers' compensation. Joining us for this Saiyan-sized discussion is the one and only Doc Issues from Capes on the Couch, because when you need someone to analyze the psychological implications of repeatedly punching people until they explode into light particles you call a professional. Together we'll explore how this game managed to compress roughly 100 episodes of screaming, power-ups, and “next time on Dragon Ball Z” frustrating end caps into a tournament format that somehow made sense. So grab your orange gi, practice your best Kamehameha stance, and prepare for an episode that's over 9000 times more entertaining than waiting five episodes for Goku to finish charging his spirit bomb. Will this manga-to-game adaptation achieve its final form? Or will it get sent to Other World faster than you can say “Kakarot”? Time to find out if this Z-Fighter deserves a senzu bean or a one-way ticket to Snake Way! Learn such things as: What happens when you try to balance Goku's overwhelming power level against characters who can barely survive a Saibaman encounter? Is there a psychological explanation for why watching grown men scream for five minutes while powering up never gets old? What's the secret to making players care about story mode when everyone already knows Goku's going to win everything anyway? And so much more!

In a rare surfacing in the contemporary world, JF and Phil discuss a film that has just been released. Bryn Chainey's Rabbit Trap is psychological horror in the tradition of Repulsion, Jacob's Ladder, and Angel Heart. But it is more: a metaphysical film exploring the mystery of sound and the Otherworld of Faerie—an excursion into that weird country, so deftly explored by Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood, where wonder and terror perform their eldritch duets.

I spoke to Bryn Chainey, Director of 'Rabbit Trap', Bryn's first feature film. The story centres around a couple in (no later than) 1976 who have moved into the Welsh countryside on a creative retreat. Daphne (Rosy McEwen) an avant garde vocalist and her husband Darcy (Dev Patel) an experimental sound recordist, use the new found space to explore their art and their relationship. In doing so, they stumble across unusual sounds, enter the depths of nature and experience something Otherworldly...at which point a stranger enters their lives.It was great to chat with Bryn and learn what had inspired him. Turns out that, like many of us, he's been familiar with these worlds since childhood. And, (as these magical kinds of projects tend to do) against all odds, the film found it's way into the insightful hands of SpectreVision - yet another nudge that there's definitely something driving this opening of hearts and minds towards the Otherworld, into the mainstream. It's a brilliant film, sensitive to these themes, incredible cinematography due to the fact that it's all shot on 35mm, giving a soothing sense of spaciousness to the natural world backdrop that runs throughout the story. The soundscape is masterful and an experience all by itself. I loved it!! Go and see it if you can. The film releases Friday 12th September in cinemas all across the US. We are hoping it will come to Europe too. In the meantime, check out Bryn's previous short film Moritz and the Woodwose (2013) - I think the portrayal of the being is really inspired.

In this episode I'm joined by Daniel Yates— artist, writer, photographer, witch, and the mind behind the excellent Occult Library project.Daniel's soon-to-be-released book To Glimpse a Hollow Hill is a deep and beautifully crafted exploration of Robert Kirk's The Secret Commonwealth, a 17th-century manuscript at the heart of Scottish fairy belief and second sight traditions.We talk about the enormous task of transcribing and modernising Kirk's original text, the folklore around seers, fairies, and fetch spirits, and the complex cultural landscape Kirk was writing from — one caught between Christianity, folk practice, and older ways of seeing the world.One of the most fascinating elements of the conversation is Kirk's description of the Sith — not as the tiny winged fairies of Victorian fantasy, but as a people with their own culture, hierarchy, and even religious practices. These are beings who live alongside humans but by their own strange rules and logic — sometimes helpful, sometimes dangerous, always other.Daniel goes into more detail about Robert Kirk himself — not just as a minister and folklorist, but potentially as a seer working within a Christian framework. We discuss the ways in which Kirk subtly inserts himself into the text, the folklore surrounding his mysterious death on Doon Hill, and his possible motivations for writing The Secret Commonwealth — not merely as an academic exercise, but perhaps as a defence of the second sight and those who possessed it.In the Plus show, we go deeper into the more esoteric layers of Kirk's Secret Commonwealth and the nature of the Sith.We explore the idea of dual-spirit traditions — the concept of co-walkers or fetch spirits that accompany a person or indeed a spirit, harvesting or feeding in some mysterious symbiotic way. Daniel draws intriguing parallels between this belief and spirit traditions found in cultures beyond Scotland.We discuss Kirk's accounts of fairy lovers and the complicated, sometimes perilous relationships between humans and the Sith — not framed in terms of simple good or evil, but as entanglements with otherworldly beings operating by their own strange morality.There's a beautiful reflection here on the porous boundary between worlds, and the price of crossing it — where gifts from the Otherworld might come with subtle costs, and where seership itself might not be a blessing freely given.We also talk about Daniel's work on the Occult Library project — an ambitious and beautifully curated online resource cataloguing the wild and often ephemeral world of occult publishing.Daniel explains how the project came about as a response to the fragmentation of esoteric literature — especially from smaller or long-defunct presses — and his desire to create a browsable, searchable space where people could discover books that might otherwise disappear into obscurity.We discuss the challenges of gathering data on out-of-print and rare texts, the use of volunteers to help expand the library, and Daniel's thoughtful approach to curation.He also shares future plans for the project, including an interactive map of occult locations, possible community features, and ways to sustain the site as it grows — all while preserving that sense of wonder and discovery that comes from stumbling across something rare, strange, or long-forgotten.Show notes:Buy 'To glimpse a hollow hill' https://www.atramentouspress.com/new-products/to-glimpse-a-hollow-hillDaniel's website https://www.photophrenic.comOccult Library https://www.occultlibrary.orgKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmasonMusic by Obliqka https://soundcloud.com/obliqka

What happened to the fairies?In this episode of Angela's Symposium, we uncover the history of fairy beings—from terrifying, liminal spirits associated with death, illness, and esoteric knowledge to the benign, whimsical figures of children's books and garden ornaments. Drawing on peer-reviewed scholarship and folkloric sources, I trace how fairies were feared as soul-stealing entities, morally ambiguous tricksters, and powerful beings of the Otherworld in Celtic and Germanic traditions. These entities weren't cute—they were cautionary, chthonic, and occasionally divine.But during the Victorian era, spiritualism, Theosophy, and literary romanticism reshaped fairy imagery into something innocent and controllable. This domestication served ideological purposes: reinforcing ideals of childhood, whiteness, femininity, and empire.With insights from Robert Kirk, W.Y. Evans-Wentz, Katharine Briggs, and contemporary scholars such as Sabina Magliocco, Morgan Daimler, and Richard Sugg, this video explores how fairies reflect changing cultural values—and why reclaiming their wilder past matters.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Exciting News! This is TMFSP's first published episode with SpectreVision Radio. I have joined the Podcast family featuring other great shows like, Greg and Dana Newkirk's The Haunted Objects Podcast and Mitch Horowitz's Extraordinary Evidence T H E S H O W It was so great to finally meet with R O D W I L L I A M S O N from Lodge Tales Podcast - one of my favourite shows. Rod speaks to fellow members of his Native American community about their strange experiences. The conversations are absolutely wonderful and give a great insight into what we have largely lost in our material-paradigm-focused, modern Western society. https://lodge-tales.podcastpage.io/ We talk about what it was like for Rod to grow up in the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, - one of the largest reservations in the US - with parents that understand about Otherworld...and others in the wider community who no longer remember their connections with these worlds. It was an honour to hear about Rod's experiences including talking owls, a shapeshifting cricket, Little People, the backward speak of Otherworld, a talking eagle speaking Blackfeet. He tells the terrifying story of the time he went down to the creek with his first cousin and her legs were pulled by an unknown force back beneath the waters. We discuss shapeshifting in general, how we might relate to Spirits and how we feel about the West reawakening to these ways of seeing the world.

During a three-month trip across Mexico, a Scottish student named Simon and his friend were returning from a beach party when they accidentally ran over something with their car. They got out and realized it was some kind of large black creature. But as they walked closer and it began to stand up, they realized this creature was unlike anything they had ever seen before.The night only got stranger as they got back in the car and tried to drive back to the hotel along the long dirt road that was supposed to be a shortcut.This story contains explicit language, please take care while listening. This story comes to us from the Otherworld podcast, hosted by Jack Wagner! Otherworld features stories covering a wide range of topics including apparitions, near death experiences, missing time, UFOs, cryptids, clairvoyance and even some things that don't quite have a name yet.

If roleplaying games are really about roleplay then how come so much of our time at the table is spent doing all sorts of other things that aren't roleplay?Is there a way in which we can craft our play experience to put the roleplay back into the roleplaying game while still remaining a collaborative game?There comes a time when many a roleplaying gamer realises that they are unsatisfied with the way in which the game is being played. I've been in this place for longer than I can remember, and I have attempted to resolve this in many unsatisfactory ways. No one else's game rules have ever quite worked for me – although there are a couple of sets that get close – but more fundamentally it turns out that the problem has been methodological. As I start the fifteenth season of Roleplay Rescue, I want to focus on how to get more of what I want: roleplay with friends in an imaginative Otherworld.Big thanks to Spencer and Barry for taking the time to record their messages!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:roleplayrescue@pm.meBlogroleplayrescue.com Bluesky Social:https://bsky.app/profile/ubiquitousrat.bsky.socialMeWe:https://mewe.com/p/roleplayrescueLogo and artwork by MJ Hiblen:https://www.patreon.com/MJHiblenART/ Hosted on Acast.

Deep Research is a mini-series collaboration with Otherworld. In the final episode, Josh speaks to the researcher "JC Dentun" about the vast cosmology and beliefs of Robert Monroe and the circle of people around him that we learned about in Part 1. Jack writes: A big thank you to Joshua Citarella for going above and beyond with this series. He started exploring this many months ago, and quite frankly, I had no idea what he was working on. I was amazed when he came back with an entirely new perspective on the Gateway saga and Monroe's connection to the military. Although it's just a theory, I personally love the idea of these guys convincing the government to fund their own spiritual research. That's exactly how I want my tax dollars spent!

This is the second week of our four-week holiday break. Today we're featuring another one of Carter's favorite shows: Otherworld.  In this episode of Otherworld, host Jack Wagner interviews Annalise about an unusual camping trip she took with her boyfriend, at a spot that had been in her family for decades. The location was very isolated, off the grid, and required a six-mile hike through dense forest to reach. As they trekked through the wilderness, they couldn't shake the eerie feeling of being watched. Despite the unease, they pressed on, dismissing it as paranoia. Once at the campsite, they encountered other strange occurrences, and a mysterious sound that left them shaken to their core and grasping for answers. Otherworld is available on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts. New episodes of Conspiracy Theories will resume December 25th. Learn more about your ad choices.
