Audiodrama Sunday 5/12/24

Lots of "holy shit" moments in new episodes of shows this week, and I started Mockery Manor s3.

I'm not really a horror person, but I'm enjoying @re-dracula. I didn't expect Dracula to be so likeable. Like he's just a guy who thinks England is really cool. I'm sure that he's totally legit and there's a normal explanation for all this, right?

I listened to @longcatmedia's Mockery Manor miniseries The Bette Tapes, and started the third season. The Bette tapes were fun, at first I thought that Bette was taking advantage of Margot, but she's just going into debt which is much funnier. So far I like that the third season is going towards a more traditional murder-mystery plot. By the end of the first episode I realized exactly what was going to happen, and who it was going to happen to.

Season finale of @camlannpod! There was some really good character work in this episode. Gwaine is such a layered character, Gwen is great, and I loved the story of how Dai and Perry met. Also a great season ending, I love hopeful post-apocalypses. I desperately hope this show gets another season.

@worldgonewrongpod this week was wonderful. How much of that stuff about sewer gators and tunnel networks below Chicago is true? I was totally unable to tell when the real history ended and the fiction began.

We also got episode 2 of @wanderersjournalpod. I like the epistolary format. Also, the forest civilization Marigold is from is interesting, I'm excited to learn more about it.

I listened to some more @breakerwhiskey, but not totally caught up. Fox implied that killing Junior will fix the world, I wonder why. It looks like Whiskey is finally close to being reunited with Harry.

@midstpodcast this week blew my mind, then I looked at my phone and there were still 25 minutes left in the episode. Hieronymus holy shit! And then Imogen! This show loves to reveal details that totally recontextualize characters.

@worldsbeyondpod was fucking incredible. Poor Nief (I doubt that's how you spell it). DC25 for the overworked child to accept help! Then the rest of the coven of elders showed up and it blew my mind. Brennan Lee Mulligan's descriptions are one of the best parts of this show, and the sound design to go along with it was amazing.

That's all for this week, next week is a new Midnight Burger and I think Mission Rejected too, I'm excited.

We’ve been a little quiet through the summer, but October is going to be a big month! All four of our active shows will have new episodes, with a new one each week. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🦇🎃💀👻

Season 3: Episode Ten (Mockery Manor)

audio drama by @longcatmedia

my stomach dropped when this happened :)

[saiimonellaboy]

It's INSANE to me that mockery manor has only 400-ish listeners. like literally what else could you WANT from a murder mystery??

[yourheartinyourmouth]

me listening to Mockery Manor for the 100th time: oh ho ho not quite Bette

[re-dracula]

they're all audio dramas? all couple hundred?

133

All of em! My podcast count including nonfiction ones is 323.

133 is one I just recently started, Mockery Manor! This show is so good, it's part mystery, part late eighties slasher, completely fantastic. Follow twins Betty and JJ on their summer job at Mockery Manor, a totally normal theme park in England that definitely isn't the site of multiple murders, it's fiiiiiine.

Send me a number between 1-244 and I'll recommend an audio drama!

So much stuff this week! I think this is going to be my longest writeup yet!

@camlannpod what the fuck? Trying to avoid spoilers, but the ending of that episode was wild. The sound design for the last scene was so good. Also “You're good with an axe, right?” was brutal, I audibly said "oof". Only 1 more episode in the season, hopefully they get funding for a second one.

The first episode of @wanderersjournalpod came out this week. This was a promising start to a new show, I'm excited to see where it goes from here. The setting feels very mystical, I can't wait to learn more about the world.

@worldsbeyondpod was so tense. Suvi and Ame had the most awkward conversation in existence. This story has so much nuance, neither of them are clearly in the right, though I feel inclined to take Ame's side due to the "Geas + Alter Memory" double espionage scheme. Meanwhile Ursulon discovers that Orima of the Reaching Green is a short queen and gets a cool horse.

I'm now up to date with @lostterminal. Season 15 was great. I love Nia, and Daphne and Raffi were really interesting new characters. Also, the dragon was terrifying. This show doesn't usually have very much action, so the confrontation with it really stood out. The description of the automatic turret going "click, click" as it locked on to Maddie was so intimidating.

@worldgonewrongpod I loved this episode. The storytelling felt so natural and real, like someone telling me a story about a weird road trip they went on. I think I said this about the last episode too, but this was my favorite episode yet. It also sets up the backstory which was never really explained as to why Jamie and Malik are separated at all.

In @midstpodcast we finally had a nicer episode. No horrible fucked up Weep/Trust stuff happening, just Lark reunited with Zeila and Sherman. However, there's so much tension between these characters. I was surprised that Lark forgave Sherman for selling her out. Something to remember is that Lark and Sherman had been hooking up before everything went to shit, which was mentioned once and I think really changes their relationship.

New @keepitsteadypod! This is the first new episode of this show since I started doing these. This was a really cute episode. For how popular fake dating is as a trope in fandom spaces, you don't see a lot of it in audiodramas.

Fun episode of Mission Rejected this week. It was cool to see Bowden go from "vain actor" to "badass spy" when the stakes ramped up. We don't get to see him take charge very often, it was neat for him to be a competent leader. I wonder if the gang lying to Zelda(who definitely saw through it) and Chet(who probably didn't) is foreshadowing for more of a conflict with the new Secretary of Defense later in the season. Also I loved the squabbling gay couple running an illegal mining operation as the villains of the week.

@breakerwhiskey episode 200 wow. A letter from Harry! We learned that Harry has been listening to most of Whiskey's broadcasts, which recontextualizes a lot of the previous episodes. Also, the end was heartbreaking.

I started season 2 of @longcatmedia's Mockery Manor! I'm 2 episodes in and really like it so far. JJ and Bettie are employed in different parks, JJ is on the run from an organized crime ring, and Bettie became a monk? Also, it's clear that neither Hilda nor Jenkins stole the shipment, neither of them have motive. But I don't know who else would have motive either. Lots of mysteries this season.

Spout Lore had a great planning episode. I'm excited for the "saving Highspear" arc, the Highspear is so cool as a concept. A reverse Tower of Babel, that lets the whole world talk with each other. A literal monument to wizard hubris, which feels destined to fall. However I doubt it will, because, as the players mentioned, it would be really annoying from a storytelling perspective if everyone suddenly spoke different languages. This has actually made me realize I really want a story set shortly after some sort of "fall of the Tower of Babel", where communication is a struggle, but that's just because I think linguistics is cool. Anyways, the buffet talk had me rolling.

What a great week! However, it did not help my queue, which continues to grow instead of get smaller. I'll reach the end of it one day.

Decided to redraw my first Mockery Manor illustration, so here’s both the new one and the original! (Plus a bunch of other art)

[longcatmedia]

Merry festive season! Out today on the Mockery Manor feed is all three episodes of…

THE MATTY TAPES

We made this Mockery miniseries in 2023, but until now, it’s only been available for our Ko-fi patrons or as a one-off purchase. But now, we’re bringing it to everyone!

The three episodes are set in 1990, 1991 and 1996, so they cover quite a chunk of the Mockery timeline. This story has been running concurrently with the main episodes, lurking in the background.

As always, spoilers abound - we suggest you have listened to the three main seasons before listening to this.

Listen now wherever you get your pods!

I really have to give the @longcatmedia creators props for this because it sounds so true to what this kind of theme park attraction sounds like - it’s giving Disneyland - and I have this very vivid mental image of a couple of people in cat suits waving and doing the little dances and stuff…

…And then the realisation hits you that this park has two mascots. Which presumably means only two costumes - it’s even mentioned how crap it is to have to get into one of them because of all the bad breath buildup. This “parade” consists of exactly two (2) people in cat suits, accompanied by “the staff”. Two cat suits and what I can only imagine to be like, a bunch of bored teens who sell hotdogs trundling along behind them. If the murder attempt hadn’t happened the whole thing would’ve been over by the end of the song anyway. Most mediocre display ever. I can’t entirely explain why but the mental image cracks me the fuck up.
