Description

James Salsido released episode 1000 of his podcast Salsido Paranormal, the most comprehensive collection of paranormal stories on the internet, on April 5th, 2026 (today). We talked about that interface between fiction and the unexplained and how storytelling can play a role in our interpretation of the unseen realms.

James read from his upcoming novel, called Unveiled, a disclosure story of another kindaltogether.

You’ll want to subscribe toSALSIDO PARANORMAL to be apprised of it’s arrival. James is not scared.

Among James’ literary inspirations is Stephen King. King’s ability to present characters and scenes is as much a draw for James as the subjects and stories. Among the topics we discussed are the observer effect, and how locations and weather affect our perception.

He is the side host with Michael Strange on Troubled Minds Radio. James is also a co-host with Ricky Pike at Beyond the Possible, a weekly paranormal discussion show. His sometimes co-host at Salsido Paranormal is Jen Arcana.

Congratulate James for 1000 episodes of Salsido Paranormal.

Available industry stats show that 9,451 podcasts have 1,000+ episodes out of about 4,337,476 total podcasts, which works out to roughly 0.22% of podcasts reaching that milestone.

What that means

That figure is a rough snapshot, not a perfect lifetime rate, because the dataset is based on tracked podcasts at one point in time rather than every podcast ever made. It does, however, suggest that reaching 1,000 episodes is very rare.

Quick calculation

Using the numbers from Podscan:

* 9,451 ÷ 4,337,476 ≈ 0.00218

* 0.00218 × 100 ≈ 0.22%
