    It finally happened - we met in person! This is our 5th Halloween episode and the first episode we have EVER recorded in the same room. Strap in for a momentous occasion as we chat about meeting IRL after almost 20 years of online friendship, then do what we do best: chat folklore!


    This episode continues our Spooktober Urban Legend theme with another iconic lady - The Woman in White. From gothic tragedy to creepy hitchhiker, we track her all around the world before landing in Mexico for her most iconic form: La Llorona. Mexico's Weeping Woman has been terrorising children for generations, but we think there are deeper commentaries on women and motherhood at play.

    Dead Air: A Creators Collective Audio Anthology - Part 2 Oct 28, 2026
    Show notes

    It's heeere! This is the concluding part of our Halloween Anthology, featuring a story by us - DEAD last! It was a great excuse to research into the spooky history of the Hellfire Club and for Niamh to lend her voice to the story. Please be sure to check out the other pods on the list and once again, thanks to the CC for having us!

    👻👻👻👻👻


    Welcome back,

    When we last left off, our hosts were in a perilous position, coming to you from an abandoned radio station with a Halloween broadcast that had gone awry.


    Forced to continue the show (and continue enduring some seriously unsettling tales recorded by their friends in the Collective), the entity on the phone has not only started to make those stories a reality, but It has now begun to learn who they are..


    All hopes of escaping alive are starting to seem lost after Brandon fails to make a break for it...but will a ghostly host, back from the past, be the one to save this group and end this curse once and for all? Or will things only continue to get worse for our five podcasters from here?

    It’s time to keep the broadcast going, are you ready to tune back in?


    Credits:

    We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this episode.

    This episode was a collaborative effort of the Creators Collective.

    A special thanks to hosts,

    Missy, Emily, Valerie, Brandon, Amanda and Niamh and guest hosts Ale and Tom.

    Pine Cones: 🪞 Mirror Folklore | Rowan & Pine Shorts Oct 23, 2026
    Show notes

    Long before they were everyday fixtures, mirrors were viewed not as simple reflective glass, but as windows into the unseen. In medieval Europe, the practice of catoptromancy (divination using reflections) was closely tied to witchcraft and the belief that a mirror reveals the future rather than the present. Ancient traditions said that a mirror reflected a person's very soul: a distorted image signalled a corrupted spirit, while soulless entities like vampires cast no reflection at all...

    Dead Air: A Creators Collective Audio Anthology - Part 1 Oct 21, 2026
    Show notes

    HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON, WITCHES! Niamh got to try out some voice acting for this very special horror anthology with our pals at Creators Collective as one of the Five Doomed Hosts trapped in an abandoned radio station. Our story contribution will show up in Part 2, but you need to get the lore before that. Be sure to check out the pods in the LinkTree below and don't say we never do anything nice for ya!

    👻👻👻👻👻


    Welcome,


    Tonight we come to you from an abandoned radio station for a very special Halloween two-part series to broadcast some of the scariest stories, urban legends and real events live on air.

    Five friends have broken in with the plan to create something spectacularly and unforgettably spooky but their night is about to take a twisted turn when something sinister that was lurking within the confines of the building begins to take the forms of the stories they tell…


    They are only given one rule - Don’t stop the broadcast if you want to get out alive.

    Will they finish their show?


    Will they figure out what’s causing all of this?


    Will they make it through the terrifying stories recorded by their friends in the Collective unscathed? There’s only one way to find out and that is to tune in with them…

    On 7 June 1692, a massive earthquake followed by a devastating tsunami killed two thousand people and submerged the city of Port Royal in Jamaica. Once dubbed the "wickedest city on earth," Port Royal was the infamous haven for the real-life pirates of the Caribbean, and its sudden sinking was widely deemed a swift act of divine retribution...

    Pine Cones: Doomsday Fish [Giant Oarfish] | Rowan & Pine Shorts Sep 18, 2026
    Show notes

    During the Edo period, tales of mysterious yokai prophesying danger began to sweep across Japan. First came the Amabiko, a three-legged monkey-like spirit predicting hard times. Later, off the coast of Higo, stories spread of the Amabie, a strange, glittering creature with three legs, long flowing hair, a bird’s beak, and mermaid scales, surfacing to warn humanity of an impending epidemic.

    Over the centuries, the names and shapes shifted, but the core legend remained: a visitor from the deep foretelling doom. While most of these creatures faded into myth, one legend never truly died...
