Now I've got even more catching up to do.īut, as David said, giving an audience a great product for free and then asking them to pay for it later doesn't always work well. With all the painting I do, I've caught up on four years worth of 'Nosleep,' so I recently purchased the pass for season five. In order to keep the program ad free, David decided to offer additional content for a cost of $19.99 per season, which averages out to about 40 cents per hour of content. (Mostly, though, it just helps keep me focused because I start getting too scared to look away from the painting.) There's something about creating art in an empty studio after dark while hearing the incredibly well-produced horror fiction of 'Nosleep' that drives my creativity. I love to set up my canvas and paint while listening to this podcast. And it's produced commercial-free, so there aren't any interruptions to take you out of the world of horror. Of course, in addition to David, there are many others involved in the show. So while the idea for the show may not have been his, it was David who breathed life into it and made it into what it is today. David's enthusiasm for the project surpassed the rest of those involved, though. It all started about five years ago when a group of Redditors decided it'd be a good idea to bring the stories to life via podcast. I had the opportunity to speak with David Cummings, the man behind 'The Nosleep Podcast,' about his award-winning show (it grabbed the 2014 Parsec Award for Best Speculative Fiction Magazine or Anthology Podcast). (These people have issues, which is why their stories are so good.)

'Nosleep' is a weekly show that consists of several narrated horror stories culled from the Reddit forum 'Nosleep,' a subreddit full of original content written by Reddit users. We can buy or rent terrifying films, we can read our favorite creepy stories, or we can download podcasts like 'The Nosleep Podcast,' which is what I do. But for those of us who love to be scared, what do we have to fill our lives during the 11 months that aren't October? Even with the sun (sometimes) shining, the flowers blooming and all the other telltale signs of spring and summer, there's still something this season doesn't offer: a good scare.Īs I've written about so many times before, I count 'horror geek' among my many geek monikers.
