Welcome to Hypnogoria, the show about all things weird and wonderful, and Britain's longest running horror podcast!

Here we explore the wide and weird world of the macabre! From looking at new releases to unearthing the legends and history behind our favourite monsters. We also delve into folklore and legend, investigating witchcraft, ghosts and weird creatures, from macabre oddities like the Hand of Glory to infamous hauntings such as the Berkeley Square Horror.

Plus we regularly gather round the fireside to hear classic weird tales from old masters such as MR James, EF Benson, HP Lovecraft, and William Hope Hodgson
