Our Editor's Take

The 30 Morbid Minutes podcast explores all things macabre. Topics on the show range from true crime to horror stories and the paranormal. Hosts Jessica Vasami and Elyse Willems share history's morbid curiosities. Each episode takes listeners on a journey into the most disturbing stories. The show's mission is to provide entertaining and informative episodes under an hour, as the title suggests.

Jessica and Elyse explore everything from urban legends to freak accidents. Listeners will hear about a wide range of spooky topics. Some episodes examine stories of human sacrifices to occult gods. Accounts of Ouija boards and near-death experiences suggest that death is not the end. There are even stories of those buried alive. The show talks about exploding coffin syndrome and coffin birth. Even leisure activities have a morbid side. The podcast reveals the scary side of Disney parks and cruise ships. It talks about cloning and deadly medical malpractice. No matter what topic, listeners can expect to hear strange and even grisly details.

Despite the, well, morbid nature of these topics, Jessica and Elyse have fun discussing them. They take a lighthearted and knowledgeable approach to satisfying morbid curiosity. Their dynamic makes a refreshing contrast to the scary subjects they explore. Jessica is a producer and director at Rooster Teeth, which produces this podcast. Elyse is also a producer and even stars in some of the company's productions. She also published a children's book titled A Night in Halloween House. Together, the hosts have a genuine love of the morbid and macabre that is obvious in every episode.

The hosts of 30 Morbid Minutes add delightful levity and humor to these otherwise horrific topics. Lovers of true crime and scary stories may appreciate this weekly podcast.
