Weird Darkness: Stories of the Paranormal, Supernatural, Legends, Lore, Mysterious, Macabre, Unsolved - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I started out listening to this because the host, Darren Marlar, sounds like Dan Aykroyd, who also likes topics of high strangeness. This show is unlike any other. It’s not just someone reading about the same topic for 2 hours. Each show delivers multiple topics read almost like a radio news show.

This podcast is very high quality and packed full of content. The host is a professional voice actor. The content is well researched. It’s obvious that a team of people work on creating these shows. Episodes are release everyday, sometimes more than that. The show’s community is very cool. There are fun events like watch parties for classic movies from over 50 years ago and much more.

Premium members get some really unique perks and extra content.
The host is a really good person. He has a couple of other shows too.
Don’t miss this podcast. Definitely worth supporting too.

Darren Marlar. Great vocal tone and inflection in his talented narration delivery style. Not just a voice. This host is down to earth, genuine, and has a very real and warm heart for his listeners. Never met him in person, yet count him a good friend. Darren, the effort you put into everything, not just the podcast, and your open honest dialogue with your fans sets you far apart from most other hosts. Truly appreciate you.

I’ve been listening to your podcast for years and absolutely love it. However, you’ve recently started combining the old time radio shows with the “true” stories. I find myself marking those as already listed to, and searching for the next “true stories” only content. Again, Weird Darkness is one of my go-to podcasts, but the mixing of the content is rather frustrating. Other than that, thank you for the hours and hours of great true stories!

Darren Marlar is a phenomenal voice. He tells stories both fictional and nonfictional regarding the paranormal, strange and of course weird. He covers every topic in this genre. Very very entertaining and at time informative.

Stop the replays of old episodes, please!

Started on old episodes(2018), now on May 2023. Favorite episodes are Fireside Frights! Least favorite are the narrated short stories. I can not stand Darren’s accents…British, stoner dudes, hillbillies, women. YUK!!! Just can’t listen to these! My suggestion to Darren is to read them in his normal voice, which is nice! The only other negative is the frequency of reposts of old episodes. I’ve heard so many over and over again. I prefer new content! Overall, I do enjoy the podcast and would recommend to others.
11/29/23 Update: I’m becoming disenchanted with the podcast. I hear so many repeats of old episodes it feels like dejavu on over-drive. I’m listening to mid-October 2023 now. I’ll catch up to current and if this doesn’t stop, I’m onto something else. Sorry, Darren! I’m trying to find a reason to keep going with Weird Darkness.
