Forbidden Cassettes: Consummation is an analog horror podcast created by Kevin Scott Joiner & Adrian Vanderbosch. Dov Kandel has spent the better part of two decades exposing vast government conspiracies and exploring unsettling paranormal phenomena on his popular, late-night talk radio program, KANDEL AGAINST THE DARK. After interviewing thousands of callers and guests, he’s certain he’s heard it all. His next guest will prove him wrong. Author and investigator Orson Libretti has joined Dov for an unprecedented two-night discussion to promote his new novel, CONSUMMATION. It is an apocalyptic tale of cosmic horror. But for Orson, this is no ordinary book tour. Defying his publisher’s demands that the book be marketed as fiction, he insists that it is based on actual events — a cataclysmic chain reaction that annihilated a parallel universe. A questionable claim, to be sure, if he didn’t have the tapes to prove it. Content Warning: This series includes content that may be disturbing to some listeners, including discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation, sexual trauma, and animal harm and death. Listener discretion is advised. Visit the official site for more information: www.forbiddenpod.com

I have no idea how the writers and VAs were able to convey the creeping sense of dread so well, but they nailed it. I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite so creeped out from listening to a podcast before, and I mean that in the best, horror-fan sense of creeped out. Great writing, great acting, and great horror.
This is a really good horror podcast that is kind of like a “found audio” style. The story on the cassettes mingling in with the story of those listening to it. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Assuming the last two episodes don’t complete it lol. For a small cast they are really creating a wonderful character driven story. Definitely seems to be a bit of a cosmic horror building up more and more. Can’t wait to find out all the answers they share.
Creative, well-written, layered storytelling that builds in tension as the tale unfolds, keeping you on the edge of your seat! The voice acting is top notch, compelling, and fully believable. Dare I say, it is better than a movie because it uses the power of your imagination to create the imagery. Thank you, Kevin Scott Joiner and Adrian Vanderbosch!
No spoilers, but this is an excellent premise to tell this story through an Art Bell type of radio interview. Outstanding voice acting, production, and a haunting story that at times is a real gut punch. Everything I look for in a good story; it hits at an emotional level.
The “content warning” listed for this show is completely inadequate. And you don’t even know they exist unless you go looking. Apparently “sexual trauma” is intended to cover literally anything related to sex, including infertility. Highly advise CW be done individually for each episode, and at least verbally state that they exist, if you don’t want to read them every time. I turned it on for something new to listen to in the car. Never again.
