It has come to my attention that people have been using my mspaint doodle as a reaction image- and I'm flattered however I realized I didn't sign it so I made a signed version. Use this one instead please and thank you!!

Drawn while listening to Malevolent, but can apply to a wide variety of horror podcasts or listening experiences. I'll tag a few for safe measure

The way I would sell my soul just to have one person who would be willing to lie on the floor with me and listen to my favorite podcasts. Am I asking for too much? I know you'd like Limetown, I know you'd like TMA, I know you'd like Archive 81. Why won't anyone just lie on the floor with me, goddammit…

another rec list for those of you seeking more audio drama for your ears!! this one is made up of audio dramas that made me want to make audio dramas, and which i reference in the show I make.

The White Vault still holds the title for the only show to ever make me yelp in terror. I fell asleep in the middle of an episode and woke up at the worst possible moment. This show has spectacular writing and performance and is definitely one for those people who find the vast expanse of nothingness at the poles of our planet equally fascinating and terrifying. This show has some queer rep but it's very quiet; everyone is too busy shitting their pants to talk much about their personal lives most of the time. There are five seasons, each with something unique to offer, and it reached it's spectacular conclusion earlier this year. It's available across platforms.

Limetown begins as a sort of fake true-crime documentary about the titular Limetown. If you like your horror with a side of conspiracy, this is the show for you. It's short at just two seasons, and fun fact: I accidentally listened to season two before I listened to season one and had a very wild time. I have since listened to it beginning to end and yes it did make more sense in order. I cannot recall whether it had any queer rep. It also had a facebook visual adaptation, but I have never watched it so I cannot comment on its quality. This show has been around for some time, but it's still a gem, and you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts.

Welcome to Night Vale, a true titan of the audio fiction space, Night Vale has had an influence on so many newer shows that you can feel its echoes everywhere. Queer at heart, and offering a soft, mundane sort of horror, for me what makes Night Vale special is the way that it highlights one of the most terrifying traits of the human race; our capacity to get used to pretty much anything and accept it as ordinary. After ten years, the show is still going, and has over two hundred episodes. You can listen beginning to where the story has reached so far, or take a more eclectic approach and dip in and out as you please. Both listening methods have something to offer. I've listened to Night Vale on and off since about six months after it originally started airing, and it's available in all the places you might expect to find it.

The Magnus Archives, another giant of the audio fiction space, much beloved by many listeners and inspiration for countless fanworks still despite the fact the show has now finished. The show begins as an anthology of horror stories told as reports of sinister happenings to the Magnus Institute, but quickly it becomes much more. The show is a shining example of what can be done with the framing device of a character sitting down and recording himself in semi-private. By the end of its run, the show accumulates a fair amount of queer representation, and all five seasons of the show are available across platforms, ending at the spectacular MAG 200.

I Am In Eskew. I love a story about a world just out of sight. This show has an abundance of subtle weird horror done right, shot through with more straight-forward horrors. It moves slowly, the horrors at hand growing and changing as you listen. There's a quiet calm to the delivery throughout this show which really emphasises the strangeness of the story. The folks who made this show went on to create the Silt Verses, which is another absolutely spectacular ride. It's a fun, unsettling time, and a complete story you can find wherever you listen to podcasts.

The ways these shows influenced the way I made @spiritboxradio are massive. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I loved about each of them and learning what I could about how each of them is put together. There are references to them all scattered through the show, but most frequently I end up making references to the Magnus Archives, mostly because I had severe TMA brainrot at the time of the show's conception in August 2020. It cannot be helped. If you end up tuning into the show, I shall answer you in advance: yes the Tim thing is deliberate, and so are the other the ones. Have fun reference spotting!!

Hey #audiodrama team !

I have been writing a masters thesis for the last few months about the arrival of bigger companies (QCODE, Gimlet, & co) in audio drama, monetisation of AD, and its potential consequences on independent producers.

I have recently realised that an important part of this subject is about the audience -what they listen to, what their role is... Therefore I come to you with a favour and a link: could you please reply to this form?

Thank you so much !

the television adaptation of Archive 81 is probably the most poorly executed attempt to bring an audio fiction podcast to the screen, and yes, i'm including the Facebook TV version of Limetown. at least Limetown had Stanley Tucci!

#archive 81 should be adapted by a cronenberg type #if not the man himself #it is lovecraftian in the body horror sense #in the loosely defined rules of the cosmology sense #not in the elder god worship sense #i mean that does happen but those people are canonically seen as morons #also the main character is a lesbian! #why did they straight wash her? #archive 81 #limetown

made a flowchart for some of the most underrated podcasts in my favorites list (you want to listen to all of these you want to listen to all of them sooo bad)

#i am. so unwell in the mind about so many of these (ringing endorsement) #hope the id isnt too bad i did a depth first approach figuring that would be the easiest to follow #also im thinking about marking this up to indicate more characteristics of each like length etc #itll just be some basic color coding but if anyone desires it ill make and put up that version as well #now to tag >:) #fothos #fall of the house of sunshine #kane and feels #kf #death by dying pod #mistholme #the mistholme museum of mystery morbidity and mortality #limetown #red valley #out of place pod #the bunker #and just for good measure... #tma #tpp #hfth

I’m starting to listen to fiction podcasts again after a long hiatus of feeling inexplicably unable to put one on, and god! I think Limetown is genuinely the best podcast ever made. I’m so impressed by the guts they had to leave the ending ever so slightly unfinished. Almost every single episode permanently implanted a vivid, horrible image in my head. The varying perspectives on an event ten years old, which each contradict and compliment each other in intricate ways. The dedication to kayfabe! God. Go listen to Limetown.

Do you like Archive 81? Do you like Limetown? Do you like Homecoming? Most importantly: do you have any critiques of their film adaptations?

If yes to any of these, then it would help greatly if you filled out my survey for my AP Research project. For the project, I’m writing a research paper with the question of “What are the main fan criticisms of fiction horror podcast film adaptations?”

Another signed version of my mspaint stickman enjoying its very relaxing horror audio drama series. This is a still life based on a real event when I was listening to Malevolent episode 37 in a public cafe (I don't have a phone so was listening on my laptop) However can apply to many audio dramas I've listened to in public spaces

Let me know your own public space audio drama experiences, I'm curious

Every New Adaptation of Limetown Failed Lia Haddock (or: how FaceBook Watch broke Skelle)

I love podcasts. I love fiction podcasts that tell investigative stories especially.

One of these podcasts was Limetown. I fell in love with this series so fast and waited with genuine excitement for the next season... and it was ok. It wasn't great, but it was ok. But I noticed... there were a lot of contradictions in season 2 that were not matching up with season 1. This was because the book had come out to tie in with season 2 and, much to my recent dismay, contradicts the story line of season 1 in MULTIPLE ways. But this post is not about the book, not specifically.

It is about the FaceBook Watch TV adaptation of Limetown and how it, somehow, decided to do complete character assassination on the main character Lia Haddock.

Now, listen. I know adaptations are not going to be 1:1, and they shouldn't be! But even by episode 5 of this 10 episode series I grew to absolutely DESPISE what they did to her and her within the show itself.

Lia Haddock in Limetown season 1 is not a perfect investigative reporter. But she is understanding, she is passionate, she is determined, and she was above all else someone I could genuinely see people trusting and liking. She communicates with her coworkers and listens to people intently and reaches out to them to comfort them while they tell their stories. I like podcast Lia.

Lia Haddock in the TV show is a sneaky, stalkerish, blackmailing, uncaring asshole of a person. The book prequel describes her as "high on empathy but has no sympathy and doesn't care about others even though she understands what they feel" (not kidding, this is exactly how they describe her, and it comes off as them wanting to imply she is a sociopath without actually saying it) and... yeah. This is exactly how she comes off in this show. This is shown to us by her doing things like recording people in their sleep for no reason, recording her and her girlfriend making out without her girlfriend's knowledge, bringing up traumatic events to her interview subjects intentionally to elicit a trauma response (in one instance revealing to an amnesiac woman she had a daughter and telling her that she is a bad mother for getting amnesia and forgetting her), threatening to blackmail her radio station editor if she doesn't get to do her story the way she wants, and assuming EVERYONE is as big of an asshole as she is (such as assuming her assistant, who is worried for her safety after she was nearly assaulted, is just being sexist).

She is also... a terrible reporter. She brings a story to her editor, take 5 months to meet a 4 month deadline, has to be reprimanded by her editor to finally finish it, and gets assigned an assistant to keep her on track (and her first words to him, this man she is meeting for the first time who starts out being completely polite to her, is "Fuck you, Mark"). She follows a false lead AGAINST her assistant's research and judgement, doesn't follow a lead HE wants to follow, and it turns out her assistant was right on the money the entire time. And she still insults him and his intelligence afterward, with the show implying she took all the credit.

This is also. Completely show original. None of this was in the podcast, doesn't actually further the plot, and if this was taken out nothing of actual consequence would be lost story wise. Ultimately this adds NOTHING of actual value to her character or the greater story of Limetown itself except telling us that our main character has actually been a colossal asshole this entire time.

If you want to make your main character an asshole, fine. I like asshole main characters! Hell, one of my other favorite podcasts (Wooden Overcoats) has an asshole main character who I adore. My favorite character in Digimon is famously described as a "jerkass ice queen" by the fandom and I also adore her.

But Lia Haddock in FaceBook Watch Limetown is just... not an enjoyable jerkass protagonist to watch. She's just unpleasant. Would I still have issues with her character if this was an original show? Maybe. But I wouldn't have been as frustrated.

Just... if you want to have an asshole protagonist... make them one from the start. Make them at least either competent or fun. A decently likeable main character being retconned into a boring incompetent asshole is not fun to experience.

It's just sad.
