I've been working my way through the Haunted Albion podcast over the last couple of months - it's been running since 2021 and there are over a hundred episodes now, covering British paranormal and folklore cases almost exclusively. The hosts are a woman called Diane who approaches everything from a believer's perspective and a bloke called Marcus who plays the skeptic, though as the series progresses I'd say his position has softened considerably. You can find it on all the usual platforms, it's free, and the production quality is genuinely good - far better than a lot of indie paranormal podcasts which often sound like they were recorded in a biscuit tin.
The coverage is impressively varied. They do the classics - there's a two-parter on Borley Rectory that I thought was excellent, much more nuanced than the usual "most haunted house in England" narrative, and they spend a lot of time with the actual primary source material rather than just repeating the Harry Price version of events. There's also a brilliant episode on Spring-heeled Jack that traces the sightings from London into the Midlands and questions seriously whether there was a coordinated hoax or something stranger going on. They're not afraid to sit with ambiguity, which I appreciate.
My main criticism is that the interview episodes are a bit uneven. When they get a good interviewee - there was a retired police officer who had investigated a missing persons case on Bodmin Moor that had some very strange elements, I won't spoil it - it's compelling stuff. But some of the guest episodes feel like they haven't properly vetted who they're talking to and you get half an hour of someone essentially selling their self-published book. Minor gripe overall though. I'd give it a solid 8/10 and recommend it to anyone on here who commutes or does a lot of driving.
