Secrets in the Dark
46 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 months ago -It gets lonely at 3 AM with nothing to do but stare at the ceilings, with no one to talk to you just fade in and out of your memory. Secrets in the Dark is a podcast about those moments where you feel like you need a friend, when you want someone to tell you a story, their story and soothe you to sleep. Secrets in the Dark is a confession and a friend for all of us loners. Tune in, and find a friend. Maybe you'll stumble onto something you wanted to hear or something you wanted to say. Once every two weeks, at 3 AM when the weekend rolls in and the loneliness does too, I'll tell you a story!
