The Hidden Archives PodcastAuthor: Hidden Archives
Described as feeling like a mix of The Twilight Zone and Tales From The Crypt, The Hidden Archives Podcast is a biweekly horror anthology series. Though all types of horror and science fiction stories are featured - from classic thriller, space, ghost stories, time travel, and monsters of all sorts - many stories have a general feeling that can only be described as cerebral. These are the stories that get you thinking - that trap you inside your own mind and make you ask what if? Come sit down with your regular hosts, the Curators - Nicole and Phillip, as we share with you the tales that can only be found upon the shelves of The Hidden Archives.

Drumhead Trial & My Time With Mary - Part 2
Episode 7
Sunday, 31 August, 2025
In our first story, we introduce you to a man in a seemingly hopeless situation: seemingly at the end - in more ways than one. Feeling like justice has turned her back on him, he has to wrestle with the consequences of circumstances outside of his control. What would you do in a similar situation? How do you cope when it seems like the end is imminent? How does one accept the verdict of a Drumhead Trial? TW: PTSD, suicidal ideation, extreme bodily harm And in our previous exploration of the Archives, we ran across an account of a man who was struggling with a stalker of sorts. A chance encounter devolved into a most unfortunate set of circumstances that prompted the character to post in an online forum asking for help. Though we know the totality of his situation up to the point of his initial post, we never found out if there was a resolution. So let’s return to Joe to see if there have been any updates as he tells us a little bit more about My Time With Mary. TW: PTSD, suicidal ideation, self harm, stalking, harassment These stories were written by Phillip Clark. They were directed, engineered, and edited by Phillip Clark. The Hidden Archives is created by Phillip Clark, and is produced by Phillip Clark and Nicole Clark of the Rhodes Collaborative Experience LLC. Executive Producer: Phillip Clark Co-Executive Producer: Nicole Clark The “Curator” was voiced by Nicole Clark, and both stories were read by Phillip Clark. This, and every story, presented by the Hidden Archives is completely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. But, when it happens, it is somewhat disturbing, pretty cool, and kind of the point (sometimes). Music: Theme is “Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 – 22 Variatio 21 Canone alla Settima” by J.S. Bach, and the story music is: “Violin Concerto in F minor, RV 297 'Winter' - Complete Concerto" by Antonio Vivaldi for "Drumhead Trial," and "Nocturne in C sharp minor 'Lento con gran espressione', B. 49 (Op. posth.)" by Frederic Chopin as the story music for "My Time With Mary" Please remember to follow us on Facebook and Instagram (for now) at hiddenarchivespodcast, and on Bluesky at @hiddenarchives.bsky.social As always, feel free to message us on any or all of our social media platforms listed.
