A good Hindi horror podcast needs very little: one voice, a dark room and a story that makes you check the door. Rajasthan has plenty of all three. Feedspot refreshed its Indian horror podcast list within the last week, and when we checked in October 2026 it included hosts from Jaipur and Kota. Below we map who they are, where you can listen, and how a horror show is made to sound cinematic. If you want to start your own, that part is for you.
Key takeaways
- Feedspot’s list shows Jaipur hosts Karnik Khare and Deepak Medatwal, and Prince Singh from Kota.
- Rajasthan folklore (Kuldhara, haunted havelis, Agra Road stories) gives local creators a natural edge.
- Spotify, JioSaavn, Apple Podcasts and YouTube all carry Hindi horror shows.
- Sound decides whether horror works: a treated room, a close mic and careful silence matter more than a big budget.
Which Hindi horror podcasts are hosted from Jaipur and Rajasthan?
Feedspot’s Indian horror list includes three Rajasthan hosts we could verify: Karnik Khare’s The Horror Show by Karnik and Deepak Medatwal’s Vo Kahaaniyan from Jaipur, and Prince Singh – The Horror Podcast from Kota. Feedspot does not explain its ranking method, so treat this as a map of shows, not a leaderboard.
| Show | Host and base | What the listing shows |
|---|---|---|
| The Horror Show by Karnik | Karnik Khare, Jaipur | About 20 min per episode, 170 episodes, 7 Apple reviews |
| Vo Kahaaniyan (Mystery & Horror Stories) | Deepak Medatwal, Jaipur | 103 episodes, 12 Apple reviews |
| Prince Singh – The Horror Podcast | Prince Singh, Kota | Long-form, about 45 min per episode, 27 Apple reviews |
All figures come from Feedspot’s Indian horror podcast page as we saw it in October 2026, and they will change as shows publish.
Short and punchy: The Horror Show by Karnik
Karnik’s episodes are short, around 20 minutes, which suits a commute or a late-night scroll. His Apple Podcasts page carries an episode about a taxi ride on Jaipur’s Agra Road, and its keywords mention Rajasthan ghost stories and haunted flats in Jaipur. That is the local flavour we mean.
Mystery and horror mix: Vo Kahaaniyan
Deepak Medatwal’s show sits in the mystery and horror space and has 103 episodes on the Feedspot host table. Keeping a show going that long is the hardest part of any podcast.
Long-form from Kota
Prince Singh’s show runs closer to 45 minutes per episode, so it suits listeners who want slow-building stories. Feedspot also keeps a separate list of 34 Hindi horror podcasts where Prince Singh appears in the top five.
One honest note: several popular horror shows on these lists have no verified location in what we found, so we have not placed them in Jaipur or Kota. For wider Rajasthan names beyond horror, search by city on your podcast app.
What makes a Rajasthan horror podcast different?
A Rajasthan horror podcast can draw on local folklore, forts, havelis and desert settings. Listeners from the state recognise the roads and place names, and that familiarity makes a story feel closer and scarier.
Prince Singh’s episode on Kuldhara, the cursed village runs 30 minutes and was published on 1 March 2025. A Khooni Freaky Friday episode covers Kota’s Brij Raj Bhawan as a haunted place. We could not confirm where that show is based. Treat such places as folklore, not proven fact; good hosts say so themselves.
Local stories also sound different on the page. A taxi ride on Agra Road or a haveli after midnight can be told in a few lines, and the sound around those lines does the rest. We cover that craft further below.
Where can you listen to a Hindi horror podcast on Spotify and other apps?
You can find Hindi horror podcasts on Spotify, JioSaavn, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Search by your language and a theme, such as “hindi horror stories podcast” or “haunted places in Rajasthan podcast”, then sort by episode length to match your mood and time.
Two numbers show the appetite. In a Parikshit Khanna article (updated 7 October 2026), a completed 2025 Spotify chart has The Horror Show by Khooni Monday at #2 and Horror Time – Scary Stories in Hindi at #7. On JioSaavn, Horror Podcast Hindi by RJ M Praveen shows 5,480 fans and 353 episodes.
How to pick your first show:
- Choose your length: 20 minutes for a quick scare, 45 minutes for a slow burn.
- Listen to the first five minutes with headphones in a dark room; if the narration and sound hold you, stay.
- Check the show description to see whether the stories are fiction, listener experiences or folklore.
- Follow the show on two apps, so you never miss a new episode.
For sound, Spookcast describes each episode as a cinematic audio experience with eerie soundscapes. It is a useful example of the style we explain below. We should also say that our own show, YTMahendra Podcast (host Mahendra Kumar, recorded at Oskillo Studio), is not a horror show; it is just the show we know best.
Why is Hindi podcast listening growing in tier-2 cities?
Hindi audio is growing in tier-2 cities because more people there have smartphone access and they prefer content in their own language. Horror suits audio well: a story in Hindi, heard at night through earphones, needs no big screen.
The Founder’s Dream says India’s internet growth is being driven by Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where audiences prefer native-language content, and that video-first podcasts with multi-camera setups are rising. That piece is about Hindi business podcasts, not horror, so use it as a trend signal only.
What mic and room make a horror podcast sound cinematic?
A close dynamic mic in a quiet, acoustically treated room makes a horror podcast sound cinematic. The mic gives a warm, intimate voice, and the treated room removes echo, so any atmosphere you add later feels chosen, not accidental.
For narration, a dynamic mic such as the Shure SM7B works well because it picks up your voice and very little of the room. Keep your mouth about a hand’s width from the mic and speak across it, not straight into it. A boom mic stand keeps it steady, so you can read for an hour without hunching.
The room matters even more than the mic. Rajasthan creators usually fight three things:
- Traffic and street noise: close windows and record late, when the road is quieter.
- Summer coolers and AC: switch them off during takes. The hum sits in the low end and is hard to remove later.
- Echo in bare rooms: a small room with hard walls makes a voice sound thin. Soft furnishing, curtains and bookshelves help.
Record 30 seconds of silence at the end of every session. This “room tone” is useful later for filling gaps without the audio suddenly going dead.
How do you edit sound effects and silence into a horror episode?
You edit a horror episode by cleaning the voice first, then adding a quiet ambience bed, placing sound effects with careful timing and leaving real silence before the scare. Silence is your strongest effect, so protect it.
Here is the order we suggest:
- Clean the narration: remove mouth clicks, loud breaths and stumbles, but keep a few natural pauses.
- Shape the voice with gentle EQ. A little low-end warmth makes it feel close; too much sounds muddy.
- Lay a low ambience bed underneath, such as wind, a distant fan or room tone, so the silence never feels empty in a fake way.
- Place each sound effect just before or just after the line it belongs to. A door creak that lands a beat late feels more frightening than one that lands on the word.
- Use light reverb only on effects or on a “ghost” voice, not on the whole narration.
- Master the loudness so whispers stay audible on earphones and the jump scare does not hurt the ear.
Take the taxi ride on Agra Road. Cut the engine hum down a few seconds before the twist, hold a breath of silence, then bring in one small sound. The listener does the rest.
How do you start a Hindi horror podcast from Jaipur?
To start a Hindi horror podcast from Jaipur, pick one story style, write a script you can read aloud comfortably, record in a quiet treated room, edit with care and publish to Spotify, JioSaavn and YouTube on a fixed day each week.
- Choose your lane: fiction, listener experiences or local folklore. Say which one it is at the start of each episode.
- Write for the ear: short sentences, simple Hindi and one clear scare per episode. Time a test read aloud to see how many words fit your 20 minutes.
- Rehearse the pace: slow down before the reveal. Most new narrators rush.
- Record in a treated room instead of a bedroom with a fan running.
- Be consistent: Karnik’s 170 episodes and Deepak’s 103 on Feedspot show what regular publishing builds.
If you plan to publish video clips too, a reel teaser of your scariest line is a good hook, since audio alone is hard to share.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Hindi horror podcast?
There is no single best, because taste differs. Feedspot lists Indian Noir Horror Podcast, Bhay Originals, Scary Horror Stories Hindi and The Horror Show by Karnik among its top five Indian horror shows, but it does not state its ranking method. Try a few first episodes and keep what grips you.
Which horror podcasts are from Jaipur or Rajasthan?
Feedspot lists The Horror Show by Karnik (host Karnik Khare) and Vo Kahaaniyan (host Deepak Medatwal) from Jaipur, and Prince Singh – The Horror Podcast from Kota. Many other popular shows have no verified location, so we have not placed them in Rajasthan.
Are there any Hindi horror podcasts on Spotify?
Yes. A completed 2025 Spotify chart, cited in a Parikshit Khanna article, includes Horror Time – Scary Stories in Hindi at #7 and The Horror Show by Khooni Monday at #2. Many other Hindi horror shows are also on JioSaavn and Apple Podcasts.
Are Hindi horror podcast stories real or fiction?
It depends on the show. Some mix fiction, listener experiences and local folklore. Places like Kuldhara or Brij Raj Bhawan are told as legends, not proven hauntings. Read the show description, and treat any ‘true story’ claim as storytelling unless the host shows evidence.
What mic is best for horror storytelling?
A dynamic mic used close to the mouth gives the warm, intimate tone horror needs and ignores room noise. At Oskillo, Business Class uses a Shure SM7B with a RODECaster Pro II, and Economy Class uses a Shure MV7+ with a Zoom PodTrak P8.
Can I record a horror podcast in a studio in Jaipur?
Yes. Oskillo Studio in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur has soundproof, acoustically treated rooms and themed sets. Rates start at Rs 2,000 per hour for Economy Basic and go up to Rs 8,000 per hour for Business Class Advance. We are open 10 AM to 8 PM every day.
Horror podcast kaise shuru karein?
Pehle ek kahani aur ek clear format chuniye, jaise 20 minute ki short story. Phir ek achha mic aur shaant room lijiye, 3-4 episodes script karke record kijiye, edit karke Spotify, JioSaavn aur YouTube par upload kijiye. Beginners ko hum studio mein guide karte hain.
