It is hosted by Alex Reagan ( voiced by Lori Henry ), released as a spin - off of the fictional radio program Pacific Northwest Stories. The series is produced by Nic Silver ( voiced by Terry Miles ). Reagan narrates a nonfiction - styled fictional story over multiple episodes, using a format that has been compared to Serial. The story begins as a biography of paranormal investigator Dr. Richard Strand ( voiced by Christian Sloan ), an `` evangelical skeptic '' on a mission to debunk all claims of the supernatural. Reagan becomes interested in his collection of unsolved cases, which she begins calling his `` Black Tapes, '' and the podcast evolves into an exploration of these cases, paranormal culture, and the mysterious life of Dr. Strand. Episodes vary in length, from thirty - five to fifty minutes. New episodes were originally available weekly, but partway through the first season the schedule was revised to every other week. The podcast has received generally favorable reviews for its writing, production, and intricacy. 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. '' The original run of the Black Tapes was from May 21 2015 to September 7 2017. The show ended on a cliff hanger and the creators stated that was the end. Then on March 20 2018 on the official Twitter account for the Black Tapes it was announced that the show would return for another season.
