20 Best X-Files Podcasts to Listen to (2026)

Seriously Obsessed is the evolution of X-Files Diaries. Annie & Jenn have spent years going deeper into The X-Files than anyone reasonably should, and all of those X-Files Diaries episodes live right here. Now, your favorite hosts are expanding their territory: each run, they pick one series that's got them hooked and go all in with analysis, hot takes, and the occasional spiral. First up: Severance - a deep rewatch of Seasons 1 and 2 leading up to the start of Season 3 (fingers crossed). Next? Whatever show grabs them by the brain and won't let go (and they'll still return to The X-Files when the moment calls for it). New name. Same hosts. Same deep-dive energy. Just more to obsess over. more

Dean and Josh love the X-Files almost as much as they love (and simultaneously hate, it's complicated) themselves. Be it their observations, jokes, or wild scenarios - one thing is clear - they will make themselves laugh a lot, but don't worry dear listener - they will have you convinced that it's all about you. The greatest crime and irony of this show is that tons of women show up to the live shows on Mixlr, and lots of the reviews suggest that they hate women (likely written by weird men). Subscribe and you'll love it -- or you'll hate it, but it's something that will stick with you no matter how much you wash. more
