About the Podcast
Just Past Midnight came into being almost as an inevitability. Sometimes the universe just sets things up so perfectly that all you have to do is tip the first domino.More than twenty years in the making, this podcast is the culmination of hard work, happenstance, and the Hand of Fate. Not necessarily in that order.
The Short Version:Lifelong interest in the paranormal + access to numerous firsthand accounts + background in multimedia production = Just Past Midnight.The Long Version:I’ve been fascinated by ghosts, monsters, and all things paranormal since I was a kid. Over the years, I discovered that many of the people I met shared the same interest—and a surprising number had stories of their own encounters with the supernatural.Around the turn of the 21st century, I decided to start collecting these stories. Back then, it was a hodgepodge of videotapes, audio recordings, emails, and (gasp) handwritten accounts. Soon, a pattern began to emerge—nearly everyone I spoke to knew of someone else I "really should talk to" about ghostly happenings or general weirdness. Things just sort of snowballed from there.Meanwhile, I'd been working as a freelance creative professional, providing visual design, copywriting, and audio/video production for corporate entities, as well as visual effects (CG), ideation, and scriptwriting for film and television. In short, storytelling has always been in my DNA.Now, more than twenty years later, I have a formidable archive of stories to draw from. For the podcast, I’ve reconnected with many of those voices from the past, revisiting and recapturing their accounts with updated technology—each one as close to studio-quality as possible, for that feeling of uncanny closeness, as if the tale is unfolding in the room with you.But this is only the beginning. My plan is to begin weaving listener content into the mix so that, eventually, the show will be composed primarily of listener-based stories—there are so many just waiting to be told. Will yours be one of them?

A word about our contributors...
Just Past Midnight is all about stories. Experiences. The telling of the tale. The sharing of a moment in time. Our contributors, therefore, are the heart and soul of this podcast. We fully recognize and embrace this truth. And we strive to accommodate each contributor in whatever capacity they might request in order to ensure they are comfortable sharing their story with us. The majority of contributors wish to remain anonymous; we understand and respect this desire completely. It is a courtesy we extend to all contributors, past, present and future.Storytelling is an art form as old as humankind itself, and one that defines us as a species. From the very first recollections and retellings in firelit caves, tens of thousands of years ago, to the interactive, virtual reality and AI-driven experiences of today, storytelling has remained central to human culture.It's a certainty that, among the very first stories ever told were descriptions of things that surprised, shocked, confounded, or terrified the storyteller. No doubt these were favorites among ancient listeners. I can't think of a better example of how some things never change.Now, perhaps in some ways more than ever, we are fascinated, thrilled, and drawn in by tales of the unknown. For, in spite of the incredible advancements in science and technology, there yet remains a shadowy realm, beyond the reach of scientific or technological scrutiny. It is into those shadows that Just Past Midnight invites you to venture.
Midnight Musings
Ah! You've found the secret section. Well, semi-secret, anyway. This is where I shall post my late-night musings as they come upon me. Spooky thoughts? Quite possibly. Nuggets of wisdom? Maybe. The ramblings of a madman? Most assuredly.
