Radio Rental, hosted by Tenderfoot cofounder Payne Lindsey, is a semi-scripted series that features real people sharing their personal horror stories; the tales range from close brushes with serial killers to ghost stories that have unbelievable real-world twists. If it sounds like a scary-story subreddit come to life, that’s kind of because it is. Lindsey spent the last year sourcing interesting stories on Reddit and various online forums, reaching out to people to see if they would be willing to share their stories on the podcast (and also hoping that they’d be good at telling their stories into a mic). “They are stories that are like real-life Twilight Zone moments, where sometimes they’re explained, sometimes they’re not,” he explained of the podcast’s ethos. The show takes its name from cockney rhyming slang for “mental,” as in going crazy. The show is themed around a fictional video-store clerk named Terry Carnation, voiced by Rainn Wilson, who has a secret VHS collection of spooky tales, which turn out to be the stories Lindsey and his team recorded.
