    Announcing: Unlicensed Season 2
    Sep 9 2024

    From the creators of Welcome to Night Vale, Alice Isn’t Dead, and Within The Wires comes the return of Unlicensed, their critically acclaimed Audible Original.

    Save it to your Audible library today: https://www.audible.com/pd/Unlicensed...


    Out in the far reaches of Los Angeles County, where the glamor of Hollywood fades into the long empty of the desert, two unlicensed private detectives are about to face a case that is larger and more complicated then any they’ve faced before.

    A ghost-hunting influencer disappears in the middle of a live stream. A beekeeper is murdered after telling his friends that he has come across a dangerous secret.

    It is up to unlicensed PIs Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch to put together the pieces, as the powerful elite of California try to stop them. Even if they solve the case, can they come out the other side unscathed?

    From the dusty citrus groves of Redlands to the wealthy enclaves of Monterey, season two of Unlicensed is the kind of grand California noir they just don’t make anymore.

    Written by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor with Glen David Gold, Brie Williams, and Aliee Chan

    Starring: Lusia Strus, Molly Quinn, TL Thompson

    Featuring guest appearances by Brennan Lee Mulligan, Demi Adejuyigbe, Janet Varney, and more.

Night Vale

This is maybe the best thing that not nearly enough people are listening to.
Quirky, original, well-produced, and in some cases damned disturbing.
Highest recommendation.

Weird

If you like it weird, creepy, and cultish, this is your podcast. I'm still trying to catch up, many hours of content, but not a minute waisted so far.

More Nightvale please!

I love Night Vale, but I don’t enjoy all the interruptions of podcasts. So I really love the book. Welcome to Night Vale and It Devours, read them both at least twice.
Please write another sequel from some of the storylines in the podcast!

Perfectly creepy

A great podcast for those who love the strange and unusual. A small creepy town that will welcome you with open arms... or tentacles. Just avoid the Dog Park

You keep me sane

If I do not get the news, I go insane. Thank you for preventing the total catastrophic end of the world we would have if I couldn't get me news.
