The Black Tapes is a mystery-horror pseudo-documentary podcast created by Paul Bae and Terry Miles.

Reagan narrates a serialized story exploring the life and work of paranormal investigator Dr. Richard Strand (voiced by Christian Sloan), an "evangelical skeptic" on a mission to debunk all claims of the supernatural, and his collection of unsolved cases, the eponymous "Black Tapes".

Then on March 20 2018 it was announced on the official Twitter account for The Black Tapes that the show would return for another season.

This season was re-released on 13 January 2020 with changes to the description of episode 6 "Into the Black" to describe it as the "mid-season finale".

Melissa Locker in The Guardian described the podcast as taking place in "a world where math, musical theory, obscure points of history, and science become either clues of a possible demonic invasion – or just random events linked only by an active imagination.
