About This Podcast


Daniel Grothe spent years doing live paranormal radio from a kitchen in Germany.
Three hours. Open lines. No edits. No safety net. Nobody asked him to. He did it anyway.
This is what happens next.

Piledrivers in the Crypt is true crime, paranormal, UFOs, cults, cryptids, and the conspiracy culture that existed before you needed an influencer to explain it to you.
Delivered with the seriousness the material deserves and the irritation the audience earns just by existing. 
No comfort. No conclusions. No episode where he learns something and grows as a person.
Just the stuff everyone skips — covered by someone who probably shouldn't know this much about it.

You can find it at Daniel's Website. Or wherever you get your podcasts. Or you can keep scrolling. Honestly, your call.

Also wrestling. The Kayfabe Zone. Near Fall Network. Go find it yourself, you're an adult.

"The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it."
