The second Escape Artists podcast, PseudoPod is dedicated to bringing its listeners the best short horror fiction on the planet. Celebrating its twentieth anniversary in 2026, PseudoPod is the oldest short-fiction horror podcast \u2013 a true veteran of the industry with dozens of major award nominations and wins under its belt.<\/p>\n
Edited by Alex Hofelich and Kat Day, PseudoPod is a show that continually engages with two issues; the belief that horror as a genre is commonly out of touch and the desire to entertain but not traumatize an audience. With that in mind, the show constantly \u2018tunes\u2019 its approach to content warnings and listens closely to its community of listeners to continue to perfect the process.<\/p>\n
That engagement with audience is coupled with the show\u2019s infectious love for its genre. Alex and Kat are both uniquely well-read and well-connected in the field, and a PseudoPod episode is as likely to feature a lost gem from a long dead author as it is a new nightmare from an upcoming star. Horror \u2013 all of it \u2013 is PseudoPod\u2019s remit, and regular host Alasdair Stuart is always ready with another story. One, as always, he promises you is true. Assistant Editors Scott Campbell and Joshua Tuttle round out the team.<\/p>\n
