The So Called X Files Podcast

Vanessa and Peter take a slightly different structural approach than most X-Files podcasts. Instead of covering every single episode, they focus on the mythology arc and their favorite monster-of-the-week episodes within each season. This editorial choice means their discussions go deeper on fewer episodes rather than spreading thin across the full run. With 44 episodes released on a biweekly-to-monthly schedule, they are currently working through Season 4's mythology as of early 2026, which means the show is actively progressing and finding its stride. The curated format is refreshing if you have already listened to podcasts that cover every episode — Vanessa and Peter are making choices about what matters most, and explaining why. Their conversations feel relaxed and unforced, two fans sitting down to talk through what they love (and occasionally what they do not) about a show that clearly means a lot to both of them. The podcast is still relatively new and growing its audience, so there are no Apple Podcasts ratings yet, but the consistency of releases and the thoughtful episode selection suggest this is a show that takes its craft seriously even at a smaller scale.
