Hanson Oak's - The Recalling (An Immersive Horror Podcast)
The Recalling is a patchwork of untrustworthy memories. The story of my life is not linear. Instead, it comes to me in a series of horrific flashes and cherished moments and if I'm to tell my story honestly, I will have to share both. The stories feature creatures that may be recognizable but most you've never seen or heard of. The tales unravel in places that may seem familiar and locations that can be found on no map and suffer no names. Some memories will be disturbing, others may be wondrous, yet all will be dark as light is not a place I've spent much time in. Before we begin, I must ask you to be careful. My memories may become your nightmares and my experiences may prove your cautionary tales - but that will only serve to bring us closer together as parts of this podcast are quite interactive. If you enjoy the podcast, please rate, subscribe, and leave a review to help others find it. Presented in immersive 3D audio - Headphones and discretion are advised.

Episodes
The podcast has come full circle.
Almost a year ago, I began it by telling a story called "Coffins for Christmas" that has since become the most popular and shared episode of the season. That, along with all those that followed, have been downloaded thousands of times in over a dozen countries. To say I'm surprised at this success would be an understatement as the moment I put that holiday episode out into ...
One thing ends and another begins – but this is the space in between.
During the intermission between seasons I've been focused on answering listener requests in the form of bite sized episodes - though I couldn't help but stretch some even further.
In this full length (and then some) tale, I recall my one and only encounter with a strange creature called a Rivinia.
It is a story I barely live...

Before the new season of The Recalling begins, these bite sized episodes will live in the void, but they are much more. They are an index of creatures that surround us, monsters with no names, angels with no wings, the folklore that folklore forgot. Each short episode will introduce you to the things under your bed and in your closet.

There are few things in our lives that don't have a story to tell. Common sayings, holidays, the names of our months and days, all evolved into what we know from something most of us have forgotten.
Luckily, through the efforts of historians and the miracle of the written record, we can look back over our collective existence to piece together the modern experience.
To celebrate the Halloween holiday, I want ...
While this space between the last season of The Recalling and the next has been set aside for short episodes, I couldn't resist telling you of something that just happened to me. So, I sat down, covered in dirt, blood, and fluids I'd rather not speak of, to bring you the events of last night.
When my work comes local, almost to my doorstep, there is a great sense of urgency to it. It feels as if I'm pushing ...

It seems my demise is still a bit off - though probably still over the next hill.
In the episode of The Recalling, I return to the studio with the Grivvals to put an ending to the mystery that left the last episode hanging from the cliff and answer listener questions to wrap up the first season of the podcast.
Those questions chosen will be entered into an upcoming contest where the winner(s) will receive free cop...
In this episode of The Recalling, the Grivvals have been tasked with answering a very troubling question - why the last episode was not posted.
Each day I wake I realize it may be the last time I do so. My work is such that each minute I find myself still alive is a reason for celebration. During my most recent travels I found myself in a situation there seemed to be no way out from.
When I can avoid it, I will no...
My work takes me to remote corners of the world, those named and inhabited by mankind, and some where man has yet to walk. Most find it surprising to know that maps and satellites have yet to document many places around the globe.
However, there is no need to visit these strange and exotic locales to experience dangerous, nightmarish creatures.
They are always close.
Sometimes they are too close.<...
The theory of the multiverse has become quite popular lately, not just in the realm of pop culture but in exacting fields of science as well. The more we learn about the universe and ourselves, the stranger and more likely it is that this existence is just one of many – but we already knew that deep inside, didn’t we?
The worlds we see in our dreams may not just be our minds painting pictures as we rest. They may very well be window...
The gates at the entrance to my home serve as a physical divide between my private life and the world at large, it by no means keeps nightmares at bay.
In fact, some days, those creatures of teeth and shadows are welcomed inside – by my wife.
She cannot be blamed entirely, as she does not do it intentionally, but that does not change the fact that death can follow her whispers like birds tracking a trail of seed.

It is a common misconception that what I do is my job, as in it is a means of income and sustaining myself and my family.
In truth, this couldn't be further from the truth.
Those who seek me do so at moments of desperation or joy, to share life’s many terrible or uplifting moments (which are sometimes blended as one) .
In either case, I would not take any offering even if it were to be offered.
I am...
Common ailments don't always have common causes. Many times, symptoms overlap and nailing down a diagnosis becomes complicated - even when it seems simple.
This can be because we've forgotten truths we once knew and are worse off because of it.
As an example, consider migraines. It is a common, terrible affliction suffered by countless people. While our understanding of the causes and advancements in treatments should b...
