What themes of horror are explored in 'The Stream'?
Water. It gives us life. We are drawn to it. Yet it holds immense power over us. It can bring unspeakable horror to the most familiar places. Your morning shower, a tranquil riverbank, or the endless ocean. it's time to dive deep into the abyss. From the dark waters of the Cape Fear River, immerse yourself in horror as you brace yourself for the No Sleep Podcast.
Welcome to the No Sleep Podcast. I'm your host, for now, Jessica McAvoy. Now, if you're newer to the show, you may not recognize my voice, but once upon a time, voice acting was my main gig. I found out you could buy a microphone, plug it into your computer, and just do it. The second thing I ever recorded was actually my audition, more of a let's make sure you don't sound like you're recording in a tin can confirmation, for No Sleep. And they were the first to ever pay me for my acting. i started way back in season three back in 2014 oh boy so uh over a decade ago okay that hurts i was a fetus Since then, I've faded into the background, working more on the editorial side of things. I promise, I am trying to get back in front of the mic.
But there are just so many stories to read. Which, you know, can't really complain about getting to read scary stories all day for a living. In fact, send me more. My absolute favorite submissions usually come from listeners of the show. I think it's really cool to be in a position where we can have people who enjoy and love what we do contribute and be part of it. So if you've written a story you'd like to share with us, send it on over to submissions at thenosleeppodcast.com. If you'd like to know the specific details of what we're looking for, head over to thenosleeppodcast.com slash submissions for a full list of our guidelines. It will take us some time to get to you, I'm sorry. We just have a lot of submissions.
But we're doing our best to reduce our wait times. Now, because I read so many scary stories for no sleep, I don't actually consume that much horror media once I clock out of work. You spend all day reading about the worst things that can happen to a human being. You kind of just want to unwind after all that. I do make the sacrifice for the Hear It in Horror podcast, which I do with some friends, a couple of which you might recognize from the No Sleep Sphere, where we listen to and discuss other horror audio dramas and try to get more ears on these indie creators. So, if you've enjoyed the dulcet tones of me yapping, or you're looking for new horror audio to indulge in, you can find Hear It in Horror wherever you choose to listen to your podcasts.
But yeah, outside of that, I keep my media pretty cozy.
How does 'Channel 14' challenge perceptions of reality?
Excluding the death metal, but that's wholesome in its own way. Unlike the folks in our next couple of stories.
Hey folks, just wanted to take a second to let you know this episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. And it's May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month. A reminder that whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone. Personally, I've been struggling a lot lately. More downs than ups. But I keep reminding myself that life is a journey. Some days feel good and others feel overwhelming. Whatever's keeping you up at night, besides our scary stories, it's easy to feel like you have to figure it all out on your own. But the truth is, no one has all the answers and no journey should be alone. Having someone with you to listen, to understand, and to support you can make all the difference.
