Yeah the Black Tapes isn't as bad as the Message but it has severe severe problems. Specifically I can't tell if the main character is purposely being condescending to every interviewee or if the writers/actors don't get that she's clearly broadcasting that she thinks these people are crazy no matter how mild their religious beliefs are. Then of course when not interviewing anyone she falls over herself to believe in an invasion of evil shadow people.

Alice isn't Dead is pretty good. Unfortunately all the other shows listed in the thread OP are pretty bad.

It still becomes a lot more comedy and longer story arc focused. Some of the original charm is lost forever once the weird stuff of the first few episodes become established setting elements.

Even in season 1 it was fairly obvious that all of the monsters of the week were the same sort of shadow people.

It has this weird problem with the sound wildly varying between episodes with some being very quiet and some being normal audio. It's not like say the History of Byzantium which is just really quiet all the time.

I listened to the first four episodes of the Box and boy howdy is it garbage. Do not listen unless you're really that desperate for modern anthology horror and have finished every other such podcast ever recommended in this thread.

My favorite are the people out the gate on day 1 with no previous content going "hey give us money on Pateron for special content and mini episodes"
You mean like the Box did? I'm still bitter about how terrible that was.

I don't remember it ever getting louder, but I didn't notice because I also listen to the History of Byzantium podcast which is even quieter.
