About This Episode
Creepypodden i P3, produced by Sweden's public broadcaster Sveriges Radio, has carved out a distinctive niche in the Scandinavian podcast landscape as a dedicated home for horror storytelling. Marketed as "Sveriges kusligaste podd"—Sweden's creepiest podcast—the show has accumulated over 300 episodes by focusing exclusively on internet horror stories, listener submissions, and urban legends known in Swedish as *vandringssägner*.
The podcast operates as a culture program within Sveriges Radio's offerings, accessible through the Sveriges Radio Play app to Swedish audiences. Its premise is straightforward but effective: curate the most disturbing and unsettling stories from the internet and listeners, then present them in a format designed to unsettle and captivate an audience seeking genuine scares rather than fictional dramatization.
Creepypodden i P3 is helmed by a small but dedicated production team. Caroline Pouron serves as the responsible editor (*ansvarig utgivare*), while Ludvig Josephson handles production duties and also creates the music that accompanies each episode—a crucial element in establishing the show's atmosphere. Historical records indicate that Jack Werner has hosted the program in the past, though current hosting arrangements are not detailed in available sources.
The show actively encourages listener participation, inviting submissions via email to creepypodden@sverigesradio.se. This crowdsourced approach has become integral to the podcast's identity, transforming it into a community platform where Swedish speakers can share their own frightening experiences and contribute to the growing archive of creepy tales.
