The X-Files Podcast

Sometimes a podcast's name tells you everything you need to know. Dean and Josh kept it simple: The X-Files Podcast. And their approach matched that directness — two enthusiastic hosts working through the show with humor, personal observations, and a clear love for the material. The 4.5 rating from 191 reviewers made this one of the more popular X-Files podcasts during its run, and 116 episodes covered the first four seasons before Dean announced the show's end in 2022. Part of the LSG Media network, the production quality was consistently solid, and Dean and Josh had a natural rapport that made the discussions feel easygoing and accessible. They were good at bringing in personal anecdotes and connecting episodes to broader pop culture moments without losing sight of the show itself. The community aspect was strong too — Dean encouraged listeners interested in continuing X-Files coverage to reach out, which speaks to the collaborative spirit the show fostered. While four seasons might seem like an incomplete run, the episodes they did cover are done well, and their take on the early, arguably strongest stretch of the series makes the archive particularly worthwhile for fans revisiting Seasons 1 through 4.
