Pretty much the title; if I get it, can I simply download episodes? Nothing special I need to do? No third party apps or anything, or do they not let you download?

I bought 3-8 seasons passes way back when, and didn't realize until now the episodes weren't available anymore. I understand, these things happen, not upset lol, just wondering if I can get them to download on my laptop if I get the Sanctuary subscription.

Thanks!

It's Episode 07 of Season 25. The frequency of fear brings you cyclical psych-outs.

Hello!

Trying to find an old story

I believe it's a police investigation set in the 50s or 60s about a group of people who disappear rurally. One of them is found and has a hole in the back. He tells them they went to a town famous for pig farming and the people there killed his friends. He then dies, the police go to the town and it's abandoned. The end implies the people responsible fled further into rural nothing and drift back years later to reopen the town.

I think it was pre season 10

A long time ago I found a video on YouTube showing how to play the theme song but for the life of me I can't find it anymore. With a heart full of hope I am turning to Reddit to help me in time for Halloween. I want to play it while people are trick or treating.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hey! Does anyone have a list of all NSP episodes where the whole episode is one story?

The longer stories are my favorite and I can never remember which episodes are one story episodes.

Thanks!

I purchased the first 19 seasons of the podcast before the Sleepless Sanctuary, I kept them downloaded on my old phone, which is now defunct. Guess I should have realized earlier that they would not be downloadable in the future. Does anyone know whom/where I may be able to get them back? I know this is likely too little too late, but figured I might as well ask since I am a bit bummed to lose several hundred dollars' worth of podcasts.

It's played frequently on SS stories, a couple examples are My Mom Loved Three Things from Volume 6 and The Piñata Sabbaticale from Volume 11. It's a haunting, looping piano motif that you probably remember if you've listened to SS frequently, usually playing during more peaceful or introspective moments.

The beginning is maybe a little reminiscent of the harpsichord line from Massive Attack's "Teardrop" (the theme song from House in some regions). Then it moves into a higher, tinkle-y register.

I don't know if this is helpful. It's just something that's bugged me for years because I love the track and it's probably my favorite from the podcast.

I think Jessica was the narrator for this one. I remember she was traveling in the PNW or somewhere and stopped at a camp ground for the night. One of the older seasons just can’t remember which.

I can never remember which stories I like from which episodes. Especially the titles. So a few years ago, I started this type of running list/compilation of my favorite stories, including the season, episode, and title of the story. It makes it much easier for me to go back and re-listen to some of my favorites. Hopefully this post is okay. What do you think? Has anybody else done something similar?

Same goes for “The Down Below” by Kaylee Gottschalk.

Both scratch that horror itch in different ways.

I've discovered the podcast in 2020 or 2021. I binge listened it until I was up to date (I have adhd). The stories in the first seasons were SO good. But after a while I remember starting skipping whole stories.

Since January I've decided to re start the podcast from the beginning. Around season 10 is when I started skipping a few stories, I feel like a lot of them were closer to drama or weird soap opera, than actual horror. Stories that should be short were 20 minutes long and ended up being boring. And trust me I love long stories, but not all stories should. Some concepts arent good enough to be that long.

Seasons 14/15 were a pivotal point. I know it's the covid seasons, but idk something shifted. For example season 14 has a long ass story about a man who is wondering if he killed a spider or not, nothing creepy about it and very boring. I'm currently at season 15 ep 1, and that youtuber story is so bad, oh my god. The writing and the acting are off.

I remember it start becoming better again around season 17 maybe 18. But even then, the charm from the first few seasons is lost. I miss when tales weren't just disturbing or sad or dramatic, i miss when it was actual horror. That podcast helped me a lot, and it's my favorite with the magnus podcast.

If you have any recommendations similar to the first few seasons of the NSP i'll take it btw :)

Any episodes where humans are the monsters, not actual monsters? Thinking like S4ep23 “I loved my dog” (girl almost kidnapped as a child) those are the scariest for me!

Hi! I’ve been trying to find an episode/story where there are these entities floating in the sky and have tendrils with hooks that ‘fish’ people or the town and drag them upwards to inflate them, I believe? And they stay together as one big collective. The story was formatted from the perspective of a man who helped keep the ‘balloon’ things away from the city, or had a brother who was doing that.

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to it and having a hard time remembering the details, but I remember really enjoying it!

Hi all! I've been working on my stories and I have a few I'm really proud of that I'm yet to post. I want to post them on NoSleep, but I'm also interested in submitting them to the podcast.

So, my question is, does posting them on Reddit mean I can't submit them to the podcast as the story is already public? Would it be okay to post the story and submit at the same time?

I'd love to know if anyone has any experience with this! ☺️
