Theme Music by Paul Terry


Annie and Jenn, the hosts behind X-Files Diaries, have been deep in the fandom trenches for years. Their shared passion for the iconic series goes far beyond casual viewing, evolving into the kind of detailed, heartfelt discussions that naturally had to become a podcast. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in the middle of a long-running conversation between two dedicated friends. They dive into the show’s labyrinthine mythology, celebrate its unforgettable monsters of the week, and unpack the complex character dynamics that have kept fans debating for decades. True to their roots as X-Philes, they bring a specific and unapologetic shipper’s perspective, often focusing on the intricate relationship between Mulder and Scully-the heart of the series for so many. You’ll hear them obsess over subtle details, rant about plot holes with affection, and swoon over the moments that defined this groundbreaking show. Produced by A&J Media, this podcast is more than a recap; it’s a thoughtful and often hilarious exploration of why The X-Files continues to captivate, analyzed through the lens of two viewers who truly get it. The whole experience is tied together with distinctive theme music created by Paul Terry. Whether you’re a lifelong devotee or a newcomer to the truth that’s out there, these diaries offer a fresh and engaging point of entry.
