Tenderfoot TV to launch first semi-scripted podcast

“Radio Rental” Features Real Life Stories of Horror, Paranormal and the Unexplained Set in a Fictional World

Podcast to Premiere October 31st From Tenderfoot TV in Partnership with Cadence13

Podcasting powerhouse Tenderfoot TV, with 450 million downloads and five consecutive chart-topping true crime hits, will launch their first semi-scripted podcast “Radio Rental” on Halloween. “Radio Rental” will chronicle real life stories set against the backdrop of a fictional, enigmatic world. The podcast will also feature a soon-to-be announced well-known actor as a video store clerk who holds a secret VHS collection of tales of horror and the unexplained.

Tenderfoot TV co-founder and host Payne Lindsey will helm the series, which will include detailed stories of terror, spanning from eerie experiences with the dead, to close shave encounters with killers, to unexplained phenomena that haunts the storytellers still today, like reappearing objects, glitches in the space-time continuum and a childhood friendship with a girl who seemingly never existed. Over the course of each episode, Lindsey interviews the people who’ve lived to tell their terrifying tales. The podcast will debut the first two episodes on Thursday, October 31, with subsequent episodes premiering every Tuesday.

“This podcast is something new,” said Payne Lindsey, Co-founder of Tenderfoot TV and host of “Radio Rental.” “As our first semi-scripted project, it’s a bit of a departure from our other work. I really wanted to create a fun, new world for these stories to live -- a place where the listener can feel truly immersed in the horror without being weighed down by it. The world of ‘Radio Rental’ is fictional, but the stories are real stories from real people.”

At the core of all Tenderfoot TV’s podcasts is a story that has been otherwise forgotten or ignored. The team created hit true crime podcast franchises “Up and Vanished”, “Monster”, “Sworn,” “To Live and Die in LA” and its latest “Culpable.” The latter of which recently announced that Tenderfoot TV will be funding a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest or conviction in the tragic death of Christian Andreacchio. The launch of “Radio Rental” marks the company’s next wave of storytelling.
