Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

The next series of Danny Robins’ Uncanny will feature stories from further afield than before.

The supernatural investigative series takes listeners on a chilling journey – from Texas to California via the Alaskan wilderness – with first-hand experiences and expert analysis, as well as questions and theories from listeners. Across the upcoming series, Danny meets a young man in South Georgia who survived a terrifying night of poltergeist activity seemingly sparked by his Aunt’s ouija board, talks to a woman who believes her father, a former Spy, is contacting her from beyond the grave, and explores a host of other intriguing encounters, sometimes frightening, sometimes moving, that take him on road trip across the States, from the voodoo shops of New Orleans to the celebrity hotspot of Montecito, California.

Also in the series, a chilling case of a potential UFO encounter and sinister cover-ups in the American South, and a journey to uncover one of America’s most enduring mysteries: the legend of Bigfoot.

Danny Robins says, “It’s been thrilling watching how Uncanny has grown and connected with so many people over the last couple of years, with listeners around the world sharing their strange experiences with us. I can’t wait to get exploring the stories we have been sent from America, uncovering fresh mysteries and welcoming even more US listeners to our Uncanny family – whether they’re Team Believer or Team Sceptic!”

Rhian Roberts, Commissioning Editor Podcasts, Formats & Digital, BBC Radio 4 says: “We’re expecting some seriously weird and wonderful encounters from the Uncanny team as they go on their paranormal American road trip. Along with the Uncanny community, we want to know if they do spookiness differently across the pond.”

Discussing the new series, Robins told SFB, “It’s been a crazy but brilliant last year for Uncanny, I’ve explored some amazing stories for the podcast, the TV series, my book and live tour, but the ones we have uncovered in the States for this new series are definitely amongst the most intriguing and chilling I’ve come across. Can’t wait to share them with the #UncannyCommunity. Brace yourselves to be scared, moved and have everything you believe about the world called into question!”
