Whether you have fifteen minutes to kill, or longer, you've found your new favourite podcast for digestible distractions that delve deep into the Dark Earth.

Welcome to 15Minutes2Kill: Dark Travel Journals, True Crime, and Creatures of Shadow.

From Berlin to Beverly Hills, 120 countries, forty-five US states, and counting . . . an industry CEO told me I was too old and ugly for podcasting, but here we are. I'm horror author D. J. Swales, your new tour guide around this Dark Earth. Tour Guide of the Damned, some might say . . . and this is your one-way ticket into the void.

So pack your bags and grab a scone or two – we've got places to go. First class or cattle class, it's wonderful to meet you, but don't forget your travel insurance for this whirlwind of dark journeys and investigations. I'm the sole writer, producer, and host of this show. An unholy trinity of tasks allowing me to explore the macabre and the mysterious of life. The footprints of dark history, and the wretched things that lurk in plain sight, or watch us from the shadows.

Join me as I continue to chase the ghost of my Irish sea-dog grandfather around this Dark Earth, from Manila to Melbourne, from Jakarta to Jacksonville. A Dark Earth my sailor grandfather circled for years, until the fateful day he was knocked down the hold of a ship in Hamburg. But I've sensed his spirit in harbours around the world, from Hamburg to Hong Kong.
