Podcasts by Sick Sad World
Sick Sad World is a bi-weekly podcast on the dark and macabre.

New episodes every other Friday! (Content warnings included before each story)
If you’d like to share a spooky story, suggest a theme or case, or just want to let us know how lovely we are, send us an e-mail at sicksadworldpod@gmail.com.
Mari is a nonbinary and disabled writer, model, and activist. They write about race, gender, sexuality and ability when they aren’t checking their closet for monsters.
Jasmine is a digital artist, lazy gamer, and natural-hair enthusiast. She is also a low-key, self-proclaimed fashion admirer, and someone who has an interest in human rights and politics.
