Mushishi (anime) and The Cryptonaturalist (fiction podcast) clearly belong to some same niche subgenre and appeal to me in many of the same ways but I'm still not sure I can recommend them to fans of the other respective media.
Has anyone else enjoyed both? Are any fans of one willing to give the other a go and get back to me about it? It's for science. By which I mean my personal curiousity.

🗺️- podcast world you’d most like to live in - for the game? Thank you!
Hm this is actually really tough. I’d love to work in the absolutely no adventures bakery or run with the and195 podcast. In the end though it’s probably a draw between the wonderful world of the Vesta clinic (SPACE, COOL ALIENS) and the Far Meridian because that would be a wonderful slightly weird world to live in. Maybe the world of the Cryptonaturalist as well.
(I’m aware this doesn’t actually answer the ask very well😭😭)
Thank you for the ask!!

Poem by Jarod K. Anderson
from Love Notes from the Hollow Tree
Clergy
Vultures are holy creatures.
Tending the dead.
Bowing low.
Bared head.
Whispers to cold flesh,
“Your old name is not your king.
I rename you ‘Everything.’“

Username podcast rec? I have a lot of shows already on my list but I'm curious
What better podcast for rocks and prose than:
The Cryptonaturalist
Supernatural
The Cryptonaturalist travels the world in his best friend and Winnebago, exploring, observing, and recounting his adventures in cryptozoology, cryptobotany, cryptogeology, and all other manner of cryptonaturalist science. With fantastical organisms invented for the show, a strong affection and respect for the natural world, an upbeat attitude and a delightfully curated poetry and prose segment, it makes for a solid listen.

The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance.

37, my favorite number
A splendid number and a splendid show. Surely you've listened to The Cryptonaturalist! His tweets tend to circulate, and I assure you the whole show is like that, a strange, beautiful, warm hug of a show exploring cryptids in every corner of the world, from parking lots and waiting rooms to sequoia forests and swamps. The universe is full of the unknown and the Cryptonaturalist will be your guide to explore.
Send me a number between 1 and 224 and I'll recommend you and Audio Drama!
