Heart Starts Pounding is all about following your dark curiosity; that unquenchable thirst to get to the bottom of a mystery, to stay up all night in a rabbit hole, to venture into a haunted house even when none of your friends will join you. I’ve put together a list of 9 podcasts that really feed my dark curiosity, and I hope they will for you, too.
Heart Starts Pounding
Heart Starts Pounding is a podcast of Horrors, Hauntings and Mysteries written and hosted by me, Kaelyn Moore. Want to know the true story behind your favorite urban legend? Curious about the dark history of Harvard’s body stealing business? Maybe you want to know about Japan’s scariest unsolved mystery. Heart Starts Pounding has it all for you.
Clues with Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore
Clues is a new true crime podcast brought to you by Pave Studios and hosted by me and Morgan Absher. Join us each week as we take you through the clues that helped crack open some of the most infamous cases.
Your Own Backyard
Chris Lambert made one of my favorite podcasts of all time. This show tells the story of the disappearance of Kristen Smart by introducing the only suspect in her case. A remarkable show that ultimately leads to a conviction.
Root of Evil
Old Hollywood, Hidden History, A Dark Family Secret, and a very mysterious unsolved murder. Root Of Evil tells the story of the Black Dahlia. But the twist is that the hosts believe they’re descendants of her killer who was never brought to justice.
Search Engine
Lighter listening for those with a dark curiosity. Host PJ Vogt takes a listener question about something innocuous and obsessively researches it until he can find an answer. Funny, insightful, and I always learn something random.
You Must Remember This
I’m obsessed with Old Hollywood, and no one tells a story like Karina Longworth. The research is fantastic, and she crafts these amazing, and often tragic, biographies of people. For fans of dark history.
Scamanda
This is for people looking for a lower stakes true crime show to binge (low stakes in that no one is murdered). A woman’s grift is pretending to have cancer, and it just gets weirder from there.
Lore
Lore is such an OG show for those of us with dark curiosities and is probably the reason that Heart Starts Pounding exists at all! It’s a trip through history’s darkest stories, the legends, the myths, and the truth behind them. Vampires! Ghosts! Murderous Queens! Say no more.
Unwell, a Midwestern Gothic Mystery
Ok, I had to include at least one fiction show on this list! Unwell tells the story of a woman who goes back to her very quirky and strange small town to deal with her moms illness. But is her mom losing her mind, or is her house really haunted?
