In just nine months, Steve and Dan have gone from “two mates poking ghosts with sticks” to one of the fastest‑growing paranormal‑comedy podcasts in the UK. With 61 episodes released and over 5,000 downloads, the show has officially crossed from “passion project” into “proper community phenomenon”.

What started as a simple idea, two curious weirdos exploring folklore, hauntings, and the wonderfully unexplainable, has become a weekly ritual for listeners who crave a mix of mystery, humour, and Boo‑Foons‑brand chaos.

A Nine‑Month Sprint of Curiosity, Chaos, and Community

Most podcasts never make it past episode 10. The Boo‑Foons hit 61.

Most indie shows take years to find an audience. The Boo‑Foons hit 5,000 downloads in less than a year.

That growth didn’t happen by accident. It came from:

• Consistent weekly episodes that blend storytelling, humour, and genuine curiosity
• A growing roster of fascinating guests, from paranormal investigators to sound engineers to folklore experts
• A unique tone that makes the supernatural feel accessible, fun, and occasionally ridiculous
• A loyal listener base who tune in for the ghosts and giggles

We think we have have carved out a space where folklore meets friendship, and where the unexplained becomes an adventure rather than a lecture.

Highlights From the First 60 Episodes

Across the first nine months, the Boo‑Foons have:

• Investigated folklore from the UK, Japan, Europe, and beyond
• Debated cryptids with the seriousness of a UN summit
• Interviewed experts who brought new depth to paranormal topics
• Explored ghost hunts, changelings, UFO lore, and the stranger corners of human psychology
• Delivered the kind of off‑the‑rails tangents that listeners now expect and adore

Every episode has added another layer to the Boo‑Foons universe, a world where curiosity is king, humour is mandatory, and the supernatural is always up for discussion.

What’s Next for the Boo‑Foons?

If the first ten months were the warm‑up, the next year is the main event.

Coming up:

• Bigger guests
• Deeper dives into folklore and paranormal history
• More collabriations
• More ‘Off The Case’ nonsense
• And, inevitably… more chaos

The Boo‑Foons aren’t just making a podcast. they’re building a universe of curiosity, humour, and supernatural storytelling.

A Message to the Listeners

To everyone who downloaded, shared, reviewed, or shouted “LISTEN TO THIS” at a friend, thank you. You’re the reason the Boo‑Foons have hit this milestone so quickly.

Here’s to the next 60 episodes. Here’s to the next 5,000 downloads. And here’s to keeping the weird, the wonderful, and the unexplained alive.

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.

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 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.
