I think horror podcasts should make cassette tapes of their shows.

Just the thought of pretending to put some "random" cassette into a seemingly old cassette player and listening to the horrors unfold is something I crave.

Anyway, Trevor Henderson (of Slimeyswampghost fame) is currently producing a fiction podcast called Mayfair Watchers Society based on his horror artwork. And so far I like it a lot- it’s scratching two major itches for me;

It’s got a significantly more grounded approach to living in a Fucked Up Little Town (TM) where Things Just Happen Sometimes than Welcome to Night Vale; Characters in the town take a measured and reasonable approach to the fact they live in a town where Stuff (TM) happens sometimes and talk openly about it when it’s becoming relevant to the situation at hand, without becoming complete cartoons about it. A very “Ah, fuck, not this again- okay, does anyone remember how they handled this last time?” approach to it, which is very much how you’d translate the overall Vibe of Henderson’s works into a non-visual format. One of my favorite episodes so far is a Town Hall Meeting in which complaints about poachers slowly segue into the reveal that there’s some kind of bone-monster roaming about in the woods harvesting shed antlers to amalgamate into itself, and the initial theory that it’s some kind of scooby-doo style hoax by human poachers gets openly shouted and argued down as the unsubstantiated crank position that doesn’t pass Occam's razor despite the slight circumstantial evidence in it’s favor. And I was nodding along!

There’s a significantly greater spread of spookum intent. One thing that started to grate on my about The Magnus Archives, even before season 5, is that the universally hostile nature of the setting’s supernatural phenomena mildly damaged the sense of stakes; you already know what the freak of the week wants before you even know what the freak in question actually is, and then it’s just a waiting game to see how this one tries to kill everybody. So far Mayfair has had a decent spread between creatures that are actively malevolent, creatures that are primarily benign but inconvenient, and creatures that are, say, genuinely trying to help with a bullying problem but with no understanding of proportionality. Which is, again, basically the thematic throughline of Henderson’s art; a lot of his creatures are fundamentally of ambiguous intent. Sometimes a weird guy in an abandoned warehouse is just chilling, or exploring itself, and you’re the belligerent. Other times it’s an ambush predator with human mimicry. No way to tell!

Brainbleeds fiction podcast recommendations

Im only going to be including the ones I've listened to or am currently listening to, I am going to be missing out TMA and things like that mostly because I don't particularly like it personally? Idk why but yeah

*UPDATE I am going to be putting TMA on this list because W O W trust me it's worth it, it is a bit of a slog at first but honestly it gets really interesting both from the individual statments and from the overarching plot

Anyway

Wolf 359 (broke me)

The Magnus Archives - ITS WORTH IT

Alice isn't dead

Nowhere, on air

Listening to horror podcasts is fun because sometimes The Princess from Slay the Princess is just trying to get home but there’s this weird fucking lady on the bus she shouldn’t have looked at.

I did some sketches of

Birdwatchers- by @trevorhenderson

Finally had time to start listening to the Mayfair watcher society podcast of his and the birdwatchers was the first one I got to listen to so….doodle. Things like this and the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast are my cup of tea, though the detail I decided to do on the first one killed me a bit. Oh well,all the creep yessssss
