About The Midnight Window

The Midnight Window is your companion in the quiet hours, a late-night podcast that blends eerie tales, forgotten music, and thoughtful musings under a canopy of jazz and the unknown. Hosted by Jake Besten, each episode invites you into a hushed space between sleep and stillness, where vintage ghost stories, personal reflections, and strange history drift through the night like whispers on the wind. Whether you're chasing meaning, calming your mind, or simply keeping the night company, The Midnight Window is here to light a candle in the dark.

Episode 02: Endless Doors and Quiet Pills

Tonight on The Midnight Window, we step through the impossible corridors of No End House, a story where reality folds inward and memory becomes the ultimate trap. Then, we descend into the coded shadows of Lake City Quiet Pills, an internet legend buried beneath obituaries, secret messages, and the uneasy hum of a digital afterlife. As the night fades, host Jake Besten guides you through both the imagined and the inexplicable—where stories don’t end, they… change shape. ---MUSIC CREDITS---  “Walking Along”, “Just As Soon”, "Relaxing Piano Music", and “Night on the Docks – Trumpet” by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Episode 01: Borrowed Words and Broken Signals

Tonight on The Midnight Window, we open on a startling confession: a renowned author whoclaims he’s never written a single word of his bestsellers. In a tale that blurs the line between identity and illusion, we hear the unnerving truth of a man who lived behind the words of others and the strange force that may have helped him do it. Then, host Jake Besten turns the dial back to 1987 Chicago, where a masked figure hijacked two television signals in one of the most surreal, unsolved media intrusions in history. Was it a protest, a performance, or something more disturbing? To closethe night, two vintage recordings from the early 20th century invite you to drift softly into sleep, as always, beneath the quiet gaze of The Midnight Window. ---MUSIC CREDITS---  “Walking Along”, “Just As Soon”, "Relaxing Piano Music", and “Night on the Docks – Trumpet” by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
