Hypnogoria
Welcome to Hypnogoria, the show about all things weird and wonderful, and Britain's longest running horror podcast! Here we explore the world of the macabre, looking at new releases, uncovering horror history, and even delving into folklore, discovering the legend behind our favourite monsters and investigating the likes of witchcraft murders and oddities such as the Hand of Glory or 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
