Whilst cleaning the house today I was entertained by a series of podcasts entitled The Black Tapes. It takes the superb Serial as it’s template and tells the story of a number of paranormal happenings – which seem to be connected. It’s listed as a docudrama – but is quite convincingly carried by most of the leads, Serial meets Blair Witch with a tiny amount of True Detective. The tropes are familiar – exorcism, insane asylums, mysterious ‘Sumerian’ daubings on walls but the format gives it a certain freshness. Sadly, I have heard all the shows so far and still have work to do. Can anyone recommend any podcasts that tell fictional stories to keep me entertained?
