MORBID

Morbid is an iconic American anthology podcast hosted by Alaina Urquhart-White and Ash Kelley. The podcast, which premiered in May 2018, has been a mainstay on the Top 20 US Overall podcast charts for years, having released hundreds of episodes that have collectively been downloaded more than 1.2 billion times. The duo was inspired to create the podcast to share their love of all things dark and macabre. They lovingly refer to their listeners as “weirdos” and open each episode with a message of “Hey Weirdos.” The weirdos are the heart of Morbid — a found family that thrives on dark humor, spooky stories, and unapologetic weirdness. Each episode of Morbid typically covers a different case, though bigger cases may be two, three, or even four parts. Morbid episodes are known for being well-researched and told with humor, sarcasm, and swearing (though never at the victims’ expense).

In 2020, Alaina and Ash launched the Morbid Network, which features everything from horror movie review shows like “Eye Of The Duck,” “Scream!,” and “Mostly Horror,” as well as “That’s Spooky,” “Cult Liter,” and “Obitchuary,” which focus on strange history, true crime and scathing obituaries. Alaina and Ash have produced and hosted multiple original audio projects, including “The Rewatcher,” “Scream!,” and “Crime Countdown.” Alaina has also authored two crime fiction novels with Zando Publishing, which debuted at #2 and #1 on the NY Times’ Bestsellers List, respectively. In 2025, Morbid joins SiriusXM for exclusive distribution worldwide.
