Happy Audio Drama Sunday! What an absolutely delightful week in audio drama. Here are my personal standouts:
🐉 One of my favorite shows in the entire world is @noadventurespod, and I am so happy it has made its triumphant return. Bea is doing great at wizard college, Happy has his hat back, Sig continues to encourage folks to become better and make their own choices by telling them to leave him the frick alone—who could ask for anything more? Please don’t sleep on Absolutely No Adventures.
🧛🏻♂️ I have been excited for @theholmwoodfoundation since they started talking about their premise, and this pilot episode did not disappoint. Holy heck. Rebecca Root especially is a whole genius, with both the leads playing two characters and doing justice to both. I love it when found footage has a purpose, and I love Dracula, and hey, can we 🅱️LEASE make this show happen? I’ll never recover if we don’t.
🐦 @greaterblogston never misses, but this last Halloween episode—a horror story from a flock of pigeons about a real life predatory gull—was genuinely chilling. Especially because I just listened to an episode of Endless Thread about gulls, how the reasons they’re pushed inland is the loss of habitat on the coast, which the episode even acknowledges. It’s a creeping tragedy, a symptom of climate change, and that makes the serial killer gull even scarier.
🚀 @breathingxspace ended this week! I’m having a hard time describing what this show means to me—as someone who’s constantly struggling with finances and debt, the theme song alone is enough to bolster my spirits. I’m not alone. And in a way, that’s the point of the finale too. The hardship doesn’t last; someday we take over the trillionaire’s mansion and throw a fair. You’re not alone.
Hey! Do you like how I write and make podcasts? Consider buying me a ko-fi so’s my debts don’t drag me back, as it were.
See you later!
