Behind the Spooky #01 — Henrique Couto on Creating Weekly Spooky

Weekly Spooky creator and host Henrique Couto opens the production room for a personal look at how the horror podcast began and how each episode comes together.

In the first installment of Behind the Spooky, Henrique introduces himself, reflects on his long relationship with podcasting, and explains why he created an audio-first home for horror stories. The conversation connects the show’s origin to the practical work behind its weekly release schedule, offering listeners context for the voice, editorial choices, and creative purpose that shape the series.

This behind-the-scenes episode is a useful starting point for anyone curious about the making of Weekly Spooky, independent horror podcast production, or the thinking that turns a written story into a finished listening experience. Rather than a fictional tale, it is a creator-focused companion to the main feed and the opening chapter of the Behind the Spooky interview series.
