Step inside The Pod Barrens, the live podcast experience at The Jersey Devil Fable Festival.

For one full day, the festival transforms into a working studio space where podcasts record live in front of an audience. You don’t just listen later — you watch the conversations unfold in real time. Sit in on episodes about folklore, horror, film, strange history, regional legends, and cultural storytelling. Ask questions. Meet the hosts. Discover new shows before your friends do.

Between recordings, explore the podcast tables, talk directly with creators, browse merchandise, take photos, and become part of the conversation. The Pod Barrens is intimate, unscripted, and interactive — a rare chance to see how your favorite shows are made and to connect with the voices behind them.

If you love podcasts, storytelling, and the weird corners of culture, this is where you’ll want to spend your time at the festival.
