All the latest news from the Boo-Foons on what is up and coming.

  • Boo‑Foons on the BBC!

    There are moments in this wonderfully chaotic Boo‑Foons journey where we have to stop, look at each other, and say…

    “How on earth did we get here?”

    This is one of those moments.

    The Boo‑Foons Mystery Investigators has been growing faster than we ever expected. Every week, more listeners join the madness, more stories come our way, and more people tell us how much they love the podcast. It’s surreal, humbling, and absolutely brilliant.

    And now we’ve hit a brand‑new milestone.

    We were featured on the BBC!

    That’s right. The BBC thought our paranormal nonsense was good enough to showcase on BBC Upload with Rob Jelly, broadcast across the eastern regions on:

    • BBC Norfolk
    • BBC Essex
    • BBC Suffolk
    • BBC Beds, Herts & Bucks

    Hearing Boo‑Foons on the radio was a pinch‑yourself moment.

    Hearing Rob Jelly call us brilliant?

    Even better.

    You can listen to the feature on BBC Sounds HERE
    We appear at around 9 minutes in.

    We’ve been told the feature will be played again live from 6pm on Saturday across the stations above, so if you want to hear Boo‑Foons echoing across the airwaves once more, tune in and join the fun.

    This project started as two mates chasing mysteries, laughing too loudly, and telling stories we probably shouldn’t. Now it’s reaching places we never imagined, and that’s entirely thanks to everyone who listens, shares, and supports what we do.

    Here’s to more mysteries, more chaos, and more unexpected milestones. Onwards, Boo‑Fooners.

  • Welcome to the Boo-Foons Discord!

    The Boo-Foons Discord is now live.

    We’ve officially launched the Boo-Foons Discord, your new haunt for all things spooky, silly, and spectacular! Whether you’re here for ghostly giggles, folklore deep-dives, or behind-the-scenes Boo-Foonery, this is the place to connect, share, and celebrate with fellow fans. Expect chaotic chats, sneak peeks, and maybe even a few spectral surprises. Come float in and say hi, we’d love to have you!

  • Boo-Foons Launch Off The Case!

    Boo-Foons Off the Case launches as the latest chaotic off‑duty adventure from the Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators, and this new Saturday series sets out to do one thing above all else: let Steve and Dan loose. The debut episode welcomes viewers into a space where the usual paranormal sleuthing is firmly put aside, replaced with a freer, sillier, and far more unfiltered version of the duo.

    A New Saturday Tradition

    The first episode opens with a warm introduction to Boo-Foons Off the Case, positioning it as a weekly breather from the main investigations. Instead of chasing ghosts, analysing EMF spikes, or debating the finer points of supernatural folklore, Steve and Dan simply show up as themselves, two mates riffing, rambling, and embracing the kind of nonsense that never quite fits into a structured investigation.
    This shift gives the Boo-Foons community something fresh: a weekend hangout that feels spontaneous, relaxed, and delightfully stupid in all the right ways.

    What “Off the Case” Really Means

    The premise is simple but effective. When Steve and Dan are “off the case,” they’re not hunting mysteries, they’re stepping away from the investigator personas and leaning into their natural chemistry. Expect:

    • Unscripted banter that spirals into the unexpected
    • Behind-the-scenes energy without the pressure of solving anything
    • New content formats, experiments, and playful segments
    • A looser, more personal vibe that shows the Boo-Foons as people, not just paranormal hosts
    • It’s the kind of show where the stakes are low, the laughs are high, and the only mystery is what they’ll end up talking about next.

    Why This Series Matters for the Boo-Foons Universe

    By carving out a dedicated Saturday slot, the Boo-Foons are expanding their world in a way that strengthens the connection with their audience. Fans get more time with Steve and Dan, more personality-driven content, and more opportunities to join in the fun without needing to follow a case file.

    It also gives the creators room to experiment, new ideas, new formats, and new ways to keep the Boo-Foons brand lively and unpredictable.

    A Weekly Dose of Controlled Chaos

    Boo-Foons Off the Case is, at its heart, a celebration of the duo’s dynamic. It’s relaxed, fun, and proudly stupid, exactly the kind of weekend energy that invites viewers to switch off, laugh along, and enjoy the Boo-Foons in their purest form.
    The first episode sets the tone perfectly: no investigations, no pressure, just Steve and Dan being Steve and Dan. And for fans, that’s more than enough.

  • Boo-Foons meet The Bantering Banshees.

    Boo-Foons Join Bantering Banshees After Dark for a Paranormal Crossover Packed with Chaos, Chills, and Laughter.

    The Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators are celebrating a major moment in their ever-growing paranormal escapades: a guest appearance on the latest episode of Bantering Banshees After Dark. The crossover marks a lively collision of two fan‑favourite teams, bringing together the Boo-Foons’ trademark blend of curiosity, chaos, and good‑natured boo‑foonery with the Banshees’ late‑night storytelling flair.

    A Night of Shared Hauntings and Hysterics

    Listeners are treated to a rare meeting of minds, and mischief as Steve and Dan crash the Banshees’ after-hours recording. The conversation dives straight into real personal paranormal encounters, the kind that linger in the back of your mind long after the lights go out. Both teams swap stories of eerie happenings, unexplained sensations, and the strange little moments that make even seasoned investigators glance over their shoulders.

    Despite the creeping tension, the room never stays serious for long. Every unsettling detail is balanced with laughter, quick-fire banter, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from people who spend far too much time poking at the unknown.

    A Finale That Tests Nerves and Instincts

    As the episode winds into the small hours, the teams take on a game designed to push their instincts, bravery, and composure to the limit. With the unknown poking back at every turn, the challenge becomes a perfect blend of suspense and silliness, exactly the kind of energy both shows thrive on.

    And the Best Part? The Collaboration Isn’t Over

    The Boo-Foons have confirmed that the Banshees will be joining their show very soon, marking the second half of this paranormal double‑feature. Fans of both podcasts can expect even more shared chaos, more stories from the shadows, and more moments where everyone laughs just a little too loudly to hide the nerves.

    The Boo-Foons say they’re “really excited” for what’s ahead, and if this first crossover is anything to go by, listeners have every reason to be as well.

  • 1,000 Downloads Later… The Boo-Foons Are Still Haunting Your Headphones!

    Whether you joined us for haunted pubs, spectral sheep, or just to hear Steve try to pronounce just about anything, we’re beyond grateful for every listen, share, and cheeky comment.

    Steve & Dan

  • Collaboration Announcement: Boo‑Foons x Michael & Jeremy Steal Your Podcast

    A Partnership Nobody Asked For… But We’re Doing It Anyway

    In a move that can only be described as bold, reckless, and legally questionable, the Boo‑Foons Mystery Investigators have teamed up with the unstoppable chaos gremlins behind Michael and Jeremy Steal Your Podcast.

    Yes, you read that correctly.

    They stole our podcast… so we made it official.

    During what was meant to be a routine recording session, Michael and Jeremy executed a flawless distraction manoeuvre by sending us on an “urgent” beer run. With the hosts temporarily exiled to the supermarket, the duo seized the mics, commandeered the studio, and proceeded to interview private investigator Casey about the unsettling legend of The Smiling Man.

    Rather than press charges, we decided to embrace the madness.

    This collaboration brings together the Boo‑Foons’ love of folklore, mystery, and spooky nonsense with Michael & Jeremy’s talent for hijacking, improvising, and causing delightful mayhem and a shared commitment to making podcasting just a little bit weirder.

    Stay tuned for more crossovers, more chaos, and possibly more beer‑related distractions.

  • 20 Episodes In… and Nearly 1,000 Listens! Thank You, Boo‑Fooners!

    As we hit a milestone that still feels a bit surreal, 20 episodes published and almost 1,000 listens, we wanted to take a moment to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s tuned in, shared an episode, sent a message, or simply had a giggle with us along the way.


    What started as two mates chatting nonsense, poking at the paranormal, and seeing how much chaos we could cram into a microphone has grown into something we genuinely look forward to creating every single week. We absolutely love making this podcast, the stories, the silliness, the spooky tangents, the unexpected moments, and the joy of knowing that somewhere out there, someone is laughing along with us.

    Your support means the world, and it’s what keeps us pushing to make each episode better than the last. We’re always trying to improve, experiment, and entertain… and we’re nowhere near done yet.

    We Want to Hear From You

    One of our favourite parts of this whole adventure is hearing from listeners. Your feedback, suggestions, and wild ideas help shape the show more than you know. Whether it’s a topic you want us to explore, a story you want to share, or just a message saying “that episode made me snort tea out my nose”, we’re here for it.

    You can reach us across all our social media channels — drop us a message, tag us, send a carrier pigeon. We love it all.

    What’s Next?

    We’ve got some fun collaborations brewing behind the scenes, and we can’t wait to share them with you. New voices, new stories, new chaos, all coming soon. So keep listening, keep spreading the word, and keep being the brilliant bunch that makes Boo‑Foons what it is.

    Here’s to the next 20 episodes… and the next thousand listens.

    Thank you for being part of the Boo‑Foons family.

  • Boo-Foons Hits 300 Downloads in Just 6 Episodes

    We’re raising our EMF meters and clinking ghost-shaped mugs in celebration, Boo-Foons has officially hit 300 downloads in just six episodes! That’s right, our little paranormal podcast experiment has grown into a full-blown spectral sensation, and it’s all thanks to you, our brilliant listeners.

    From haunted pubs to ghostly teachers, boggarts to mysterious museum encounters, each episode has been a wild ride through folklore, fright, and foolishness. Whether you’ve been with us since Episode 1 or just stumbled into our haunted classroom recently, we’re thrilled to have you along for the chaos.

    300

    This milestone isn’t just about numbers, it’s about community. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with amazing guests like Cliff, Dan, John, Seb, Skor, Paul, and Sanja, and we’ve even captured some mysterious, possibly paranormal activity along the way. Every laugh, gasp, and ghostly whisper has helped shape Boo-Foons into the genre-blending, ghost-chasing, giggle-inducing show we dreamed of.

    So what’s next? More haunted locations, more folklore deep-dives, more chaos, and maybe even a few surprises we haven’t dared to whisper yet.

    To everyone who’s downloaded, shared, rated, or just tuned in for a spooky chuckle: thank you. You’re officially part of the Boo-Foons Mystery Investigators crew.

    Stay spooky, stay silly, and keep your goggles charged. The Boo-Foons are just getting started.

  • Ghunt at the British School Museum: A Night of Unsettling Surprises

    Ghunt at the British School Museum: A Night of Unsettling Surprises

    On Saturday the 6th of September 2025, The Boo-Foons took part in Mr Biffo’s Ghost Hunt (or “Ghunt,” as it’s affectionately known) at the British School Museum in Hitchin, a location steeped in history and whispered hauntings. With its creaking floorboards, vintage classrooms, and a reputation for paranormal activity, the museum set the perfect stage for an evening of spectral sleuthing.

    Steve and Dan joined a brilliant crew of content creators, sharp, sceptical, and ready to debunk. None of them expected anything out of the ordinary. But as the night unfolded, the atmosphere shifted.

    They encountered:

    • Multiple EMP spikes reacting to questions and games, these in areas with no obvious electrical interference
    • Spirit box responses that seemed eerily relevant to the questions
    • Sudden cold spots that defied the room’s ambient temperature

    It was the kind of night that leaves you questioning what you thought you knew. And while we’re not jumping to conclusions, there’s a lot to unpack.

    British School Museum: A Night of Unsettling Surprises

    We’ll be reconvening with the rest of the Ghunt team soon to record a special podcast episode diving into the events, the evidence, and the theories. Expect candid reactions, audio clips, and a few laughs as we try to make sense of it all. Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction.

    Stay tuned, this one’s going to be a Boo-Foons classic.

    👻 What to Expect

    Starting this week, we’ll be releasing a brand-new episode every Wednesday morning. Each one dives into a different mystery, from cursed castles and spectral sightings to folklore oddities and unexplained phenomena.
