Podcasts: Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Etc.

As most of you know, I'm a stay at home mom.  I also homeschool 2 of our 4 children right now and am keeper of 2 grandbabies.  My husband works a lot of hours and has his own hobbies that take him away from home, so I am alone, or alone with children most of each day. 

I'm an introvert, so really the alone doesn't bother me.  The steady diet of PBS, shopkins and XBox does. 

I needed more, but as most moms know, its hard to find time to sit down and consume entertainment.  I am a knitter, so if I'm sitting, I'm knitting.  I listen to TV but don't actually watch it.

I love to read so I discovered audiobooks a few years ago.  I can listen while I'm doing almost everything except school with the kids.  There are times however, when I want smaller doses of entertainment.  That's when I discovered podcasts.  Most episodes are 30-90 minutes long.  That's perfect for when I don't have the time to organize an intricate plot line or historical timeline in my head. 

Over the course of the next few blog posts I am going to share the podcasts that I listen to.  I've tried to break them down into relevant categories.  I listen on Apple Podcasts (I'm an apple girl), but I'm told there are other listening options.  The exception to this is knitting vlogs and they are all found on YouTube.

Today's category is Sci-Fi, Paranormal and other hard to categorize podcasts.

Astonishing Legends  - This is one of my favorites.  The episodes are 1-2 hours long, although there may be more than 1 part to a topic.  I just finished listening to the 3 parts of the Yeti episode.  I love how Scott and Forrest give you all the angles on a topic.  I feel like they make it relevent for the skeptic as well as the believer.  Each episode is well researched and you can feel the enthusiasm they have for their topic.

Stuff They Don't Want You to Know  -  This podcast delves into conspiracy theory topics.  Again, good for skeptics and believers.  These guys also have a show about the Georgia Guidestones on Amazon Prime that is good.

Lore  -  Short, creepy stories or legends.  There is also a Lore show on Amazon Prime that is good

Unexplained  -  Also short, creepy stories. 

I'll be back later this week with my choices for crime podcasts.  Have a good week.
