Daniel Grothe's 'Piledrivers in the Crypt'
Daniel Grothe spent years doing live paranormal radio from a kitchen in Germany. Three hours. Open lines. No edits. No safety net. Nobody asked him to. He did it anyway. This is what happens next. Piledrivers in the Crypt is true crime, paranormal, UFOs, cults, cryptids, and the conspiracy culture that existed before you needed an influencer to explain it to you. Delivered with the seriousness the material deserves and the irritation the audience earns just by existing. No comfort. No conclusions. No episode where he learns something and grows as a person. Just the stuff everyone skips — covered by someone who probably shouldn't know this much about it. You can find it at Daniel's Website. Or wherever you get your podcasts. Or you can keep scrolling. Honestly, your call. Also wrestling. The Kayfabe Zone. Near Fall Network. Go find it yourself, you're an adult.

It’s Christmas… but the joy isn’t landing. In this special holiday episode of Piledrivers in the Crypt... demonic Elf on the Shelf incidents, a drunk chain-smoking Santa with a naked Grey alien “helper”... Then we get serious. From Reagan and E.T. to Close Encounters and Taken, Spielberg’s long UFO history becomes the springboard into something darker: what if disclosure never happens because the invasion already did—through AI, di...
So yeah — the Christmas Special with the Mikes didn’t happen. Shocking, I know.But fear not, my festive little ghouls… predictions were made, holiday feelings were felt (against my will), and the halls are officially decked with bones and existential dread.
Listen on all the apps, on my website, and — and I swear on my Art Bell shrine — artbell.us actually works.No irony. No punchline. Reality is w...
And look, I know… that was a mistake. I admit it. My bad. I’ll say sorry on behalf of both timelines. But listen anyway! It’s painful, it’s emotional, it’s ridiculous—so basically perfect.
Do me a favor and crawl over to ...
- Thanksgiving (barely)
- Black Friday (he still has bruises from that old lady with the shopping cart)
- Survivor Series (don’t even ask)
- Cyber Monday (his bank account is now a haunted house)
- Stranger Things (long story…)
- …and his first Perchtenlauf, where he learned that Austrian demons run faster than American ones.

This week on Piledrivers in the Crypt, we’re crawling into the vault of cinema — the realhorrors. The reels that were burned, buried, locked away, or politely swept under the studio rug because apparently “society can’t handle that.”
Meanwhile, the Mikes from Mikes on Mics are mysteriously abs...
So the Mikes and I did the only thing that made sense in this flaming madhouse of a year:We came together to give you the special you actually deserve.
Please… have a safe and happy Halloween—because we sure as hell won’t.And for the l...
Nothing says “Halloween spirit” like trying to make sense of Vince Russo’s booking logic while surrounded by demons.
And if that’s not horrifying enough, we’ve got five brand-new listener horror stories straight from you — the brave souls who keep proving t...
Just when you thought it was safe to defrost Grandma’s leftovers… I drag you screaming into Part Two of the Halloween Story Special — five new tales straight from The Wormhole that will ruin your appetite, your sanity, and possibly your relationship with CM Punk.
Because here in the Crypt, we don’t just tell ghost stories—we deep fry them and serve them with a side of trauma.
Please c...
The Mikes aren’t here (thank God), which means it’s just me, the darkness, and whatever’s breathing behind you right now.
Happy Halloween, you weirdos.

Also, the Mikes on Mics give their predictions for Wrestlepalooza. Which is like asking two drunk raccoons to predict the stock market.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
