The Gig Work Episode

Ever taken a side job and realized halfway through that the money wasn’t worth whatever you’d just walked into?On this episode, we’re making a tier list out of everything from DoorDash and Uber to Facebook Marketplace, Airbnb, and the odd editing job. But the rankings are only half the conversation. We’re also getting into gig work horror stories, the strange encounters that come with working for strangers, and whatever rabbit holes those stories send us down.If you’ve ever had a delivery, a pickup, or a freelance job go sideways, we want to hear about it.Especially if you still think about it on the drive home.Check Out WDRK HereGot a story of your own?

An ordinary Marketplace listing leads to a conversation with a stranger and plans to meet.Nothing unusual at first.A price, an address, someone saying they'll be home after work.These stories follow what happens when people show up and realize the person they've been messaging has left a few things out.Check Out WDRK HereGot a story of your own?

Volume five.Six stories sent in by you, and this time Haley and Tim are doing the reading. An 8-year-old in Texas gets up early on a Saturday and finds a tall figure standing in the living room. He says it ran down the hall toward the garage and was "darker than dark." A small town in the '90s starts getting late-night phone calls from someone reading off long strings of numbers, and then one day it just stops. A 16-year-old in Wisconsin tells us about a dream he had at six that he still can't shake, and what it left behind. Then it gets heavier.An anonymous listener's house has been escalating for a while: tarot cards in the basement, a figure in the bathroom that looked like them, a hidden crawlspace locked with four deadbolts, and opera singing coming out of the woods.A former paranormal investigator from the Point Pleasant area takes us back to 2013, when a kid in Gallipolis, Ohio started talking to something called Cristoff, and a holy water test that was supposed to catch a faker didn't go the way anyone planned. We close with a story from the late Terry Aitken: a diamond bracelet that vanished from the bottom of the stairs, turned up months later in a stack of towels, and what he and his wife saw in the corner of the room that night. This one's dedicated to Terry, and to Whitney and Carter.Check Out WDRK HereGot a story of your own? Something unexplained?

In 2023 An anonymous poster on a dying imageboard claims to have managed a research team at a facility that studies craft nobody's supposed to have. No galactic federation, no channeled messages  just a guy describing what sounds like a job. UFOs are mostly unmanned drones. They're built in a mobile construction facility that sits in the ocean and disappears every time we get close. The people flying them aren't hostile, they're just not very interested in us, and the poster compares the arrangement to zookeepers who don't hate the animals but aren't there to talk to them either.Check Out WDRK HereGot a story of your own?

This week I sat down with JD Lauriat, the creator of Haunted House Flippers a comedy/horror audio drama about a couple who inherit an old Victorian in Uncanoonuc, New Hampshire and set out to fix it up and sell it. Janet wants to learn some new skills. Tom is convinced he's found the Holy Grail of haunted houses. The whole thing is told through the handheld recorder Tom refuses to put down. We talked about the show, how it came together, and what goes into building an entire haunted universe out of nothing but sound.

Summer 1988, Bishopville, South Carolina. A seventeen-year-old changes a flat tire at 2 a.m. on the edge of Scape Ore Swamp and reports that something seven feet tall came out of the field after him. Within weeks: plaster footprint casts, chewed-up cars, a million dollar reward for a live capture, monster hunters in the woods, and merchandise.Got a story of your own? Something unexplained?
