Between the Worlds Podcast

Amanda Yates Garcia—author and practicing witch—hosts Between the Worlds alongside producer and composer Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs. The show blends tarot, psychology, mythology, pop culture, witchcraft, magic, art, and history into conversations that feel genuinely nourishing. With 139 episodes and a stunning 4.9-star rating from over 1,800 reviewers, this is one of the highest-rated occult podcasts on Apple Podcasts, period. Each episode uses a tarot card as its framing device. Recent episodes include the King of Wands on uplifting the erotic and the Knight of Wands exploring themes of strangeness and encounter with Sophie Strand. The format gives each conversation a poetic structure without feeling forced. Garcia is warm, intellectually curious, and brings a feminist perspective to occult traditions that feels natural rather than imposed. Episodes typically run about an hour to 90 minutes. The show updates less frequently than some others on this list, but every episode feels carefully crafted. If you appreciate witchcraft and magic discussed with literary intelligence and emotional depth, Between the Worlds is exceptional.
