Notable Episodes: "The Whistlers"
How heavily does a host, more-than-sometimes voice actor, factor into your enjoyment of a podcast? If you lean toward the host-makes-or-breaks-the-show side, the NoSleep Podcast may not be for you. Then again, if you don't like "horror" -- the broad, not likely to scare you, but totally likely to include lots of ominous music and death type of horror -- this podcast won't be for you, anyway. That said, NSPC can be great. The Whistlers is one of the best short-story episodes available on any podcast. However, inconsistent, try-hard narration and overblown production can often put a damper on your listening experience. If you thought Tanis had oh-my-gosh-I-get-it-someone-just-realized-something-spooooky sound design, wait until you hear this. That said, NSPC is released regularly and is always more-or-less listenable, which is great for desk jockeys looking for something to help them through the work-day monotony. NSPC is in the middle of its sixth season, and all past episodes are available for download for free. If you're real hard-up for something, anything to have playing throughout your overlong commute or weekly-report Fridays, listeners also have the option of paying to unlock double the segments per season. I hope you don't need them. For you.
