The number one podcast on Spotify lately has been The Telepathy Tapes by Ky Dickens. I heard about this by accident and thought it was odd that some kind of fantasy podcast was beating Joe Rogan.

I listened to the first two episodes last night and while I won’t say I’m a believer, the carefully produced and very well-written show certainly makes you wonder.
The first two episodes introduce several characters who are key to the story. There’s Ky Dickens the person narrating all of this….
