A phantom stalks the halls of pseudopod towers. A phantom made of terror, disconcertingness,

and really scary things. That phantom is pseudopod. That phantom is here. Now.

Soudopod episode 150 for February 6th, 2026.

What Haunts the New Build by Megan Cain, narrated by Danny Daly, hosted by Allie James, audio by Graham Dunlop.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing okay.

I'm Allie, narrator and producer of When the Night comes out, a horror anthology podcast with stories by author Brian W. Alaska, your guest host for this

week. And I'm excited to tell you that for this week, we have What Haunts the New Build by

Megan Kane. This story is a pseudopod

original. Your author this week, Megan Kane, writes science fiction out of love and horror out of

burning necessity. She lives in a 110-year-old house in Minneapolis with her wife who refuses

to believe in ghosts. You can find her writing in

cursed morsel zines, her games and interactive fiction at mcane.itch.io, and her online presence on

blue sky at Spock'sbrain.bysky.combe. Your narrator this week, Danny Daly, is a jack of many trades master of none, but seeing as

she loves the rogue life, that's okay with her. You can hear stories she's narrated on the

first four escape artist podcasts, Starship Sofa, Glittership, and Azzanov Science Fiction podcast. Visit her on

Blue Sky under her alias Dan Uli.

And now we have a story for you, and we promise you it's true.
