Nobody warned me that starting a janky-yet-beloved audiodrama would mean voice actors emailing me pictures of Goku at 4am. If they had I would have made one sooner!

Save the date!

It's time to update this blog's pinned post with the 2025 dates! That's right, Podcast Girls Week will return.

I ran a poll right after last year's event and the majority of respondents favored getting to choose from either the original or the 2024 prompts. (However, you are always welcome to freestyle.)

Wondering what I'm talking about?

Podcast Girls Week is a week long prompt-based event where fans are encouraged to create works celebrating their favorite podcast women. This year, the event will take place on July 7-13.

Need more information? Check out the FAQ.

Wondering what people have already created? Browse the #podcastgirlsweek tag on tumblr or explore the AO3 collections.

Finally, you are always welcome to tag or @ this blog if you’re posting content about podcast ladies, and I will happily reblog it!

They should remake Hamuel Burger but instead of being about killing the president it's about a witch in the alps trying to find her lost cat 🙏

[asbestos4president]

Here's the official website of the podcast!

We are almost up to the Simon and Garfunkel RPF episode but first we have to get through the Game Changer parody episode and I'm still wondering whether to keep in that one throwaway plotline where Ham sells his soul to the devil for a really nice banjo. It's hard being a serious science fiction writer

[asbestos4president]

If you're planning on releasing a new audio drama at any point this year, let me know! I'm putting together a page for my blog highlighting 2025's fiction podcast debuts!

Surely we can get the patty voicemail as a download so we can use it as our own

Surely you wouldn't make me open Audacity on my break 😭 I'm kidding here is the clip because I love you + want you to grow up strong and healthy. Or whatever

Tumblr doesn't let you download audio so here's a dropbox link as well. Also that is Bulk having a genuine real life coughing fit that I just kept in cause I think my friends dying is peak entertainment.

Did I ever tell you about The Incident. In editing Ham I use a declicker plugin to minimise gross mouth noises. However, sometimes it also removes parts of dialogue. Therefore, before applying it I isolate changes so I can listen to the parts it removes and then adjust settings until it only removes what I want. So one day I isolate the changes, listen to it, decide it's good and click apply. The result is a track that's ONLY mouth noises with all dialogue removed because I forgot to click the button that makes it be the opposite of That. Whenever I relate this account people keep telling me to "release the mouth noise cut"..... YOU DON'T WANT! THAT NOBODY WANTS THAT!

Audiodrama Sunday 12/8/2024

Happy AD Sunday! I caught up on a lot of shows this week, after falling behind last week.

NEW SHOW ALERT @goodmorningevildoers - HR broadcasts from a cartoonishly evil organization. This is a really funny show. Starting the show with a joke about LED highlights being the product of pure evil was a very strong start.

@brimstonevalleymall - I can never get over how good this show is at writing heart-to-hearts for a silly comedy. The conversation between Zaphan and Belzagor and then Zaphan talking to Nisroch during the lunch rush in the next episode were both so good. Unrelated, the terrible kissing sfx at the end of the scene where Zaphan asked Azormias for advice was so funny, comedy purely in sfx is so hard to do well.

@worldgonewrongpod- This season is written by Gabriel Urbena! I noticed the empty man reference and checked the credits. Jamie is really losing it in this episode, this has to be the most she's lost it since the apocalypse started. Are we every going to find out what Leonard is? I would guess not.

@asbestos4president - you can tell the writer for this episode was having so much fun with the terrible space opera audiobook writing. I love how everyone in this show is completely insane.

@midstpodcast - And now they descend into the fold. I wonder if they'll find something similar all the way down. Sucking out your soul is some Mothers shit for sure. Its interesting that only Dot remembers clearly, probably because of their Mother training.

Skyjacks: Couriers Call - The “doom of returning” that June experienced felt very personal for me. I totally understand the sense of impending doom about the end of something. It ties in to how the "return to the mundane" step of the Hero's Journey always feels tragic to me. Also, how is it that literally every Luminary they draw is perfect for the story.

@kingmakerpod - This was a great episode, I see why people were talking about it. Holtzmann's plan's are finally coming to pass, and that rich guy totally wants to fuck a horse.

@innbetween - Season 3 finished. I had theorized that Castor was a warlock but now they confirmed it. This show loves its "academics on the run from their dark past" huh?

@lostterminalpod - A very dramatic ending to this episode. Sealed in a room with an old battery on the verge of exploding is very bad. One more episode in the season.

Case Study: IREC-A59 - This episode was really neat, I love a good creation myth, and this is a really cool one. The act of living is to participate in a conversation between Life and Death, and you are obliged to tell Death stories of your life when you meet them, so they can remember their love.

This was a really good week for audiodramas. Tons of great new stuff, though some of it was backlog from last week. Can't wait for Stories from Ylelmore to end its hiatus soon!

SCP-4879 "Art in the Time of Elitism" by Cerastes, read by guest researcher @lumoakes

I think this is the first SCP that's actually kinda scared me

Game: choose a podcast character (or three), and then a second, different podcast to send them into for a while.

It could be to bully them, to give them some relief, or even just to see them interact with the characters that live there.
