Stories with Sapphire: Diverse Voices in the Paranormal

Raise your hand if you’re a horror fan. Is it too obvious that I am one? I’ll make sure my next podcast recommendation is in a different genre.

"Stories with Sapphire" is a podcast hosted by Sapphire Sandalo, a queer Filipino (Cebuano/Ilonggo) American occultist known for her work on "Ghost Town Terror," "Something Scary," and "Paranormal Caught On Camera."

The podcast aims to introduce more empathy and diversity into the paranormal, supernatural, and horror communities by sharing and discussing true stories from the Philippines and around the world.

Why This Matters: The podcast brings much-needed diversity to the paranormal and supernatural genres, which are often dominated by Western narratives.

By highlighting stories from different cultures, particularly those from the Philippines, "Stories with Sapphire" enriches the genre with varied experiences and viewpoints.

This approach fosters a more inclusive community and allows for a broader understanding of supernatural phenomena.

Our Take: "Stories with Sapphire" is a refreshing addition to the paranormal podcast landscape. Sapphire Sandalo's background and perspective as a queer Filipino American occultist bring a unique and necessary voice to the genre.

The podcast not only entertains with compelling true stories but also promotes empathy and inclusivity within the paranormal community.

It's a must-listen for fans of supernatural tales looking for diverse and thoughtful content.
