PSA: Dracula: The Danse Macabre creator Gabriel Urbina is teaching a set of online classes in the new year! 👨‍🏫

First, he's doing a new round of his classic online workshop Writing Stories For Sound! It's the three-hour interactive crash course through how he thinks about stories that are told entirely through audio - what their unique strengths and weaknesses are, what makes for a great audio experience, how to tell stories that make audiences lean forward. 🎙️

He's teaching the workshop two times - those are on February 2nd at 2:00 PM Eastern and on February 4th at 7:00 PM Eastern!

But wait, there's more! Because Gabriel is also offering his first ever Masterclass Edition of his online writing workshop, and it's a doozy! 📚

Gabriel is going to write the script for the pilot for a new audio fiction series in just six weeks, and he wants you to come along and write a script of your own! In this six week class, he will break down everything he knows about going from idea to full script, and he'll give you a series of writing assignments that turn the mountain of writing a script into a manageable climb! Best of all, he'll do everything he asks his students to do, so you'll get the inside look at how an Urbina story takes shape and comes together! 🛠️

The Masterclass is a six-week course, with sessions on Wednesday nights at 8:00 PM, starting on February 5th!

If you've been struggling to get your audio fiction ideas down on paper - or if you need a great gift for the audio fiction lover in your life for the holidays - don't miss out on the chance to go on a writing adventure with Gabriel! ✍️

In seven days...

The dance comes to an end.

Dracula: The Danse Macabre

Episode 4: The Bride of Dracula

Out December 25th, 2024

[draculathedansemacabre]

We are eight days away from THE BRIDE OF DRACULA, our finale.

Anyone got any predictions for what’s coming our way with Episode 4? 👀

[draculathedansemacabre]

Heh, we'll confirm things are going in a different direction than this, if only because this info is already out in the world:

So no, we're not going to vampire Jonathan. The journal entry that we heard in Episode 3 was the end of his involvement.

Where we're going in DTDM 4 is somewhere much stranger, and much darker...

look, if Mina chases Dracula back to his castle and Johnathan died there and became a vampire and she has to deal with that i'm billing LSS Productions for my therapy

[draculathedansemacabre]

"If it weren’t for Mina’s endurance, this story could’ve become a tragedy, but she manages to overcome everything he throws at her. She’s an incredibly strong character, who comes out of every trial even more resilient and determined."

Well, if that doesn't just beautifully capture everything we were trying to do with Episode 3 of DTDM. Thank you for this lovely write-up of Experimental Purposes, @skyfullofpods. It means the world to us. 🥲❤️

Happy Audio Drama Sunday, friends! This week brought us a new season of Windfall, the return of @storiesfromylelmore after a brief hiatus, and the third episode of the phenomenal @draculathedansemacabre!

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!

[draculathedansemacabre]

I don't think we give Jonathan Harker nearly enough credit for his absolutely unhinged choices. In 1897, that pathetic wet cat of a man was written with enough grit, willpower, and raw human stupidity to rival any of our modern horror podcast protagonists. When faced with a centuries-old vampire, in a coffin, drenched in fresh blood, he really thought the best thing to do was to hit it in the face WITH A SHOVEL. The audacity. The misplaced confidence. The sheer desperation. No plan. No hesitation. Running on fear and spite alone. And i fucking love him for it. Truly the character of all time.
