In the dark shadows of the Rue Morgue, to the rhythm of the stolen telltale heart, as the black cat swings on the pendulum, and the cast offers its sherry deep and dry.

As you knock at our chamber door, we open and assure you in.

Our sleepless tales for you in store, and the terror shall be lifted. Never more.

Raise yourself for the no-sleep podcast.

Welcome to the no-sleep podcast. I'm your host, David Cummings.

This past week on June 13th, we have a new episode of the Rue Morgue.

We'll be back with a new episode of the Rue Morgue.

Welcome to the no-sleep podcast. I'm your host, David Cummings.

This past week on June 13th, to be precise, the no-sleep podcast celebrated its 12th anniversary, a dozen years of audio horror storytelling.

It's a time to look back on all that's happened over the years while at the same time looking forward to future possibilities.

Allow me to take a moment to reflect and reveal as we march forward into our 13th year.

I'll begin by expressing my undying gratitude for all the people who have shared their talent with us these past 12 years.

This is not a production I do alone. Never has been. I'm incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to collaborate with passionate, dedicated people.

I hope you'll recognize them as much as anybody for what this show has grown into.

There have been so many highlights over the years, just seeing the audience grow has been something beyond my wildest dreams.

To know that what we do is touched so many people, it's humbling.

And I'm thrilled that people have discovered the power of audio horror storytelling.

I experienced it from the radio as a kid. Now I'm sharing it with others around the world.

My never-new fate would give me such an enchanting opportunity.

The live shows, big season finales, the chance to meet and perform with people who have achieved so much in their own careers.

It's all been a whirlwind of wonders.

It's been 12 years which have not been without challenges.
