Tell No Tales

Wasting Company Time Productionstellnotalespod.com
Leo Quinn works for Better Place, the world leader in ghost removal, but they’re having some doubts about the ethics of their work. They’re building a device that should let them capture the voices of ghosts, to prove once and for all that Better Place needs to start treating spirits with the humanity they deserve – and to unravel some mysteries in the process. Tell No Tales is a serialised fiction podcast — to hear the story unfold, we recommend starting from S1 E1. Distributed by Twin Strangers Productions

And when I say every plot relevant detail, it seems I really do mean it. For obvious reasons, spoiler warning for literally the entirety of season one.
