Scared All The Time

Scared All The Time, Mystery, History, Horror

What are you afraid of? Scared All The Time is a hilariously terrifying podcast about the fears, mysteries, and strange phenomena that keep the world up at night. From alien abductions and haunted places to serial killers, urban legends, bizarre science, and real-life horror stories, no fear is off-limits — and no one is safe. Hosted by Ed Voccola (Rick and Morty, Bless The Harts) and Chris Cullari (Blumhouse, The Aviary), SATT digs deep into the scary, the strange, and the unexplained with humor, heart, and an unhealthy amount of research.
