Some Season 4 stats now it’s all out! For context - it took us over 2 years to first reach 300k downloads, and we passed that number in the 9 weeks since we released ‘The Brigadoon’. We’re so grateful to everyone who’s stuck with the show whether you found us yesterday or in the mists of 2020 ❤️

Do you listen to podcasts? If so, do you prefer that they have a video component? Is it different for fiction vs. nonfiction shows?

I ask because all of the podcasting industry news is so heavily insisting audio-only shows pivot to include video.

Thank you for the kind review, apple podcasts user, it's actually shocking that we have yet to be embraced by the mainstream when our word-of-mouth buzz is as good as this

@hinaypod has been shadowbanned for unknown reasons - either bad actors, or an auto flag, or because we post links as part of our podcast promotion. Or perhaps the Palestine posts, who knows.

Either way, while we wait for Tumblr to respond to our ticket, it's the perfect time to tell everyone to follow the @ above if you want to follow a Magnus Archives inspired, Rusty Quill Network official podcast about a Filipina immigrant dealing with supernatural threats in Toronto caused by cursed objects and immortal rich occultists from the 1920s who fuel their magic off violent death.

It's about how supernatural horror will never trump the horrors of real life fascism, and about how love, especially queer love, can change the very fabric of reality.

The protagonist is a 5 foot tall cheerful, warm and sunny Filipina woman with magic powers and personal trauma that's ten times worse than your average grumpy podcast man. The main villain is a faceless, nameless, powerful immortal threat in a fine suit, only known as The Benefactor.

It's got that delicious, TMA inspired analog sound (from phone calls and tape recordings) and spooky standalone stories mixed with an overarching plot that a lot of our listeners have made murder boards and spreadsheets for 👀 Theory crafting is popular in this fandom. Some episodes are so scary that people can't listen to them in the dark, but others have described it as their comfort podcast. We have more sound effects and music than base TMA; it adds to the horror, but we also like to include old jazz and classical music depending on the moment and character.

It's female led with a BIPOC majority main cast, and it's so overwhelmingly queer that we have a token cishet couple (an immortal Instagram influencer and her drippy bloody monster husband who crawls on the walls).

The protagonists are queer, the villains are queer, and we've got love stories both wholesome and toxic, happy and tragic. Old men in love, young men in love, young and old men and women in love, women in love in the 1920s, women in love in the 1940s, men who love women then men, women who love women than men, gay betrayals, lesbian tragedies, trans seductions of 150 year old former villains, NB romances in-between taking over the world.... Romantic surgeries and beheadings...

And milk tea 🧋

We're not the kind of podcast that'll ever get as huge as The Magnus Archives, but that's not really what we're aiming for. We're just aiming to reach people who would resonate with our message and love Hi Nay as much as we do!

So give us a follow and a listen! You can find us on Rusty Quill (they approached us, not the other way around 😉✨) and on almost all the major socials, and of course, wherever you listen to podcasts.

After crabs the second most talked about animal in the silt verses is birds: Carpenter and Faulkner traveling under the disguise of birdwachers, the name of their river, Mason's childhood story, Faulkner thinking of his followers as birds, even just Faulkner's name, etc. In a naturalist way, it makes sense, rivers provide homes to many bird species, birds are very important to the biosphere of a river. And in a textual way, seens they are associated with the Wacher in the Wings birds could represent symbolically the narrative, the story that the characters are performing, that they have crafted and locked themselfs in or that other have crafted and caged them in, and that will seize them and slow them whole, just like birds will with their prey. I wonder if, giving that a faulkner is the job title of someone who keeps and trains falcons, Faulkner's name is meant to represent that fact that he is the character who is most preoccupied with trying to tame his narrative, to make the story take the shape he wants.

MORNINGSTAR࣪ ִֶָ☾.

Listening to podcasts is a really interesting experience because to the average person I look like I'm listening to some funky music. But no. I am listening to a British twink and his boyfriend get tortured by beings outside our imagination

Absolutely No Adventures Casting Call!

We're casting again!

This is for a spin-off miniseries in the ANA universe that will be on the main feed but feature all new characters! Here's some copy!

ANA Presents: Necessary Evil

This four-episode miniseries takes place in the Absolutely No Adventures universe but follows evil queen Sibella in her downtime between magic battles and running her seized kingdom.

It's going to have all the same genre humor and slice of life stories as regular ANA episodes but from the POV of a charming villain rather than an extremely annoyed baker.

We have six new roles to cast--2 M, 4 F. All paid! If you're interested, check out our casting call!

This is a long article, but if you're an artist, creator, or simply someone who loves art, it's a great and necessary read.
