Podcast Recommendation: A Scottish Podcast

“A Lovecraftian Trainspotting.”

A Scottish Podcast is a serialized modern audio drama that chronicles the story of Lee, a washed-up former radio DJ who launches a paranormal investigation podcast.

Lee wants to see his show, The Terror Files, mentioned up there alongside podcasts like The Black Tapes, Limetown, and The Message. And he’ll stop at nothing to achieve it. Aided by his jaded musician pal Dougie, the pair travel the length and breadth of the country in search of Medieval Demon Kings and Lovecraftian Gods of the Sea.

Join them on a unique tour of the ancient and mystical lands of Scotland. You’ll walk through the long-forgotten catacombs under Edinburgh, sail out to the lonely and abandoned island of St. Caillic, and visit dingy pubs, run-down industrial estates, and obscure non-league football grounds.

Note: The show contains strong language, adult situations, and isn’t for the easily offended.
