Tales From The Web is a daily storytelling podcast hosted by Avery Reed, pulling fascinating, funny, unsettling, and surprisingly human stories from across the internet.
Each episode takes one standout Reddit story or thread and turns it into a polished, host-led conversation: part narration, part commentary, part “wait, what would I do in that situation?” From Malicious Compliance Mondays to No Sleep Saturdays, Avery walks through the setup, the turning points, the fallout, and the bigger lesson hiding inside the thread.
New episodes publish daily, featuring themed dives into malicious compliance, off-my-chest confessions, AITA dilemmas, AskReddit discussions, NoSleep horror, shower thoughts, and wildcard internet stories.
Tales From The Web is not affiliated with Reddit or any subreddit. Stories are credited and linked where available, and episodes use a commentary-first format with selective excerpts and summaries.
