SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring the anomalous, the luminous, and the numinous. We’re a community for creators and fans vibrating around common curiosities, shared interests and persistent passions. spectrevisionradio.com linktr.ee/spectrevision

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I truly enjoy listening to Tim and Alison (she is always super witty!) These two bring a new perspective to each topic with their incredible research and passion. This is an intriguing show and my favorite when I need to relax… I fall asleep to their old shows… like old friends! Riddle me this… listen and you’ll get the reference 😂

Paul in Pensacola · Jan 2022

I can’t remember if I had written a review for SF before, I know I wanted to, so just in case I never got around to doing it or in case I wasn’t clear enough on just how much I love this podcast, here goes another (or maybe the first) review. Tim and Allison are amazing together, Their voices are nice and soothing and remind me of warm cozy winter days (which I love), all the episodes are so different and I truly enjoy how Tim asks the questions I would , the on-site episodes (cicadas or not) are awesome. I am always in awe of how much Tim and Allison do, what with answering emails, and social media, managing the Etsy shop, curating photographs, making music, all the art work and putting out at least a show per week, Just wow! Have been listening for a few years and plan to do so always. Love your content, love your music, love you both. Suscribe people!!!!

larushka · Oct 2021

I listen to a lot of different paranormal/Bigfoot podcasts, the more mainstream as well. I stumbled on this one from Sasquatch Chronicles, so glad I did! I love that it’s a diff format each episode or every other…keeps it fresh. Love the on sight episodes. The music also grew on me, it took a little minute just because it’s not a genre I would listen to otherwise. But I love how committed Tim is to the podcast and the extra Patreon episodes are fantastic. I love Tim’s voice it’s so soothing, and Allison adds the kind of humor and wit I enjoy. They’re just great, so multi-talented…I could listen to them talk about anything all day to be honest lol. I’m constantly on their Etsy store, I just can’t get enough. It really is unlike the rest, it keeps me sane.

Ventradrea · Oct 2021

I started listening to paranormal shows (coast) for the same reason people go to the zoo, to be entertained by the odd and unfamiliar. I still don’t believe most of this stuff but man, I really enjoy this podcast. It is a laidback session of late night talk that’s reminiscent of telling ghost stories in my middleschool years. Tim and Alison have great chemistry and I must say, Tim’s a talented dude. His artwork, writing, and music are all stellar. Keep at it Strange Familiar
