Introducing: Thirteen
Apr 700:52:32Tap to summarizeThirteen is a fiction podcast that delivers atmospheric, spooky stories released on the 13th of every month. Think of it as a movies-for-your-ears experience: long-form, character-driven stories brought to life with immersive sound design and an original score. If you’re into haunted houses, haunted forests, and strange figures in the night, there’s a very good chance you’ll love Thirteen. It’s less Friday the 13th and more The Haunting of Hill House—yes, there are scares, but there’s so much more too. You’ll be unsettled, sure, but you might also laugh, cry, and maybe even fall a little bit in love. If you want to hear more, you can find it on the Thirteen feed.
