Screw it here's all the descriptions I wrote:

Uquiz Podcast Descriptions

[Unseen - A short urban fantasy show where each episode is a different monologue from someone in the unseen world! Incredible music, writing, and performers. Some of the episodes are really genuine and sad, some are fast paced and comedic. You get something new every time - a college class lecture, a voicemail, a tour, a story. I love this show and I highly recommend it!

Red Valley - A sci-fi mystery with amazing writing and performances - a show about the scientists behind cryogenic technology, and the people that got mixed up in it all accidentally. I'm obsessed with this one and cannot wait for the next season!

Malevolent - A Lovecraftian horror about a detective with the voice of a mysterious entity stuck in his head. You've got to take notes for this one. This show is devastating, emotional, terrifying, and one of the most beautiful pieces of media I've ever enjoyed. You should really give this one a try! The sound design, writing, and voice acting are all insane - especially because it's all done by one creator.

Camp Here and There - For this show, you get the mealtime announcements from the loud speakers at an unusual summer camp in Ohio. Enjoy paranormal happenings, drama among the camp counselors, and a banger soundtrack (yes, by Will Wood. I still have no idea why.)

Death by Dying - Absurdist comedy. A very thorough obituary writer tries to get to the bottom of every mysterious death his column covers. This show has wordplay, nice gothic vibes, and a strange little town with far too many strange little deaths.

Welcome to Nightvale - This show is a classic among audio drama podcasts, having started in 2012 and still going strong. Every episode is a radio broadcast from the bizarre little town of NIghtvale, located somewhere in the desert. Tune in for news, traffic, sports, sponsors, horoscope, and the weather, none of them what you'd expect. You should really listen to some of this one if you haven't yet

Wolf 359 - This might just be my all-time favourite show - a long form scifi about a small crew aboard a spaceship orbiting a distant star. Things start innocently enough, but this show builds in drama and mystery quickly. Incredible soundtrack, writing, and performances! Intrigue! Witty writing! Amazing actors! SPACE!!! This show has everything and I love it very much

The Amelia Project - A comedy about an agency that fakes people’s deaths. This show has fun characters, absurd situations, and a banger of a theme song. Each season feels completely unique, but I always have fun listening to this one

Sherlock and Co - This is the best modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes that I know of. For being set in 2023 - 2024, the stories are insanely book-accurate! This show is done as an in-world true crime podcast, so it's very immersive. The actors are incredible, and the theme song is fantastic

The Magnus Archives - The recordings of a paranormal research institute's archived statements. Things gradually start connecting across stories, and everything starts becoming more complicated for our characters working at the institute. This show is long at 200 episodes (with a developing sequel) and has some amazing writing and performances! It explores all kinds of horror imaginable, while being centrally about the characters and humanity. You'll enjoy this one 100%

The Bright Sessions - Here's the thing. The original show is good, but the sequel is definitely more of my kind of show. Bright Sessions is a long form series about the patients of a psychologist that works with people who have special abilities. It's pretty sweet and mostly about character relationships, but the sequel show AM Archives is a scientific thriller/survival show about ethical dilemmas in medicine and patient care - it also has more in the way of music and sound design. Both shows are really well done, with incredible performers and writing!

Deviser - A short form horror that I can't explain too much of without spoiling the entire thing, but this show is AMAZING! It's the most terrifying thing I've ever heard done in audio, so be prepared for that. It's got it all - insane sound design, performance, writing, and music, all done by one creator. If you want a dark speculative fiction about humanity and our relation to artificial intelligence, with a dog, then give this one a try

Zero Hours - A short series of one-off episodes spanning time in ninety-year increments, all with the theme of the end of the world. I truly love this show - each episode is devastating in a different way. The actors, sound design, and music are all incredible, and the show is produced by my favourite audio fiction team. Please listen to this one, you WILL enjoy it

Time:Bombs - This show is short at only three episodes - the fast paced account of a bomb disposal team on one night - New Year's Eve. There's a surprising amount of character development and heart for such a short story in this one, and you can listen to the whole thing in one setting, take the quiz again, and find another show! I'm kidding of course but I do love this show. The creators made the whole thing in one week, which is insanely impressive

Wooden Overcoats - This show proves that the only difference in tragedy and comedy is your point of view. A sitcom about two rival funeral homes on a tiny island off the coast of France with far more absurd deaths than you might think for such a lovely little community. This is honestly one of my favorite shows of all time, and I know you'll enjoy it too. It's incredibly good - the performers and gothic orchestral soundtrack are amazing, the writing witty and fast paced, and I know my descriptions aren't giving this show any justice. It's that good. Go listen to it.

Alice isn’t Dead - Poetic and terrifying, this show is about a truckdriver searching America for her wife, whom (as the title suggests) she thought was dead. If you're into the idea of the endless and lonely expanse of the American mid-west as horror, then this is the show for you!

Re: Dracula - The novel Dracula by Bram Stoker is conveniently made up of journal entries, letters, and newspaper articles all corresponding to certain dates. With this in mind, the podcast Re: Dracula released each day's events as written in the book in high-quality audio format! Essentially, this is just a really good audio book, with full cast performances, sound effects, and a haunting musical score. For fans of the book already, or anyone who enjoys gothic horror and literature

Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later - You didn't know you wanted an ancient Roman political comedy, did you? Well, you do. And the good news is, this show is perfect for you! It starts just after the unfortunate murder of Julius Caesar, when the financially struggling republic of Rome has turned to its new triumvirate for support. The three of them, however, are having a bit of trouble managing the world-superpower. This show is great, with incredible writing, performances and soundtrack. The story's got it all: intrigue, forbidden love, rivalries, and theatrics. Enjoy!

Trice Forgotten - Listen to this show if you like stories about PIRATES! Or if you're into shows with incredible soundtracks, intrigue, immersive soundscapes, and women sword fighting each other.

The White Vault - Long-form found footage horror about scientists dealing with paranormal happenings while trapped at a research base in the snow. Very technical and linguistic, so if you're into that, then you should give this show a try!

Fawx and Stallion - If you hate the Sherlock Holmes books then this show is for you, because this is about a different mystery solving team in Victorian London. It's a comedy about the neighbors of literature's most famous detective having to solve a major mystery as, essentially, the backup team. This show is very fun, and I look forward to the next season. You should definitely give it a listen!

New Year’s Day - This show releases one episode per year, on New Year's Day. Two magicians agree to meet up and talk every thirteen years since a performance stunt left them both immortal. There's only three episodes of this out at this point, so come back in a couple decades and let me know how it turns out! It's already really good!]

hello. i took your quiz with podcast recommendations and i have two things to say

1. i have never hesitated on a any question as much as on choosing a book in this quiz because not only i read most of them, i read most of them last year and i loved all of them and i think it is insane to know someone read the same books as i did

2. i liked the quiz but i kept getting podcasts i listened to already. do you maybe have a list of them? i'm now curious about the other options

Yessss all of those books were so good !! Really funny you read all the same ones

And I thought it gave a list at the end of the quiz saying what the other options were? That’s too bad hah I put a lot of work into the descriptions

Here’s the shows I put on the quiz - it’s all the ones I’d listened to at that point

(I also have a pdf where I copypasted all the show descriptions- if you want that, I can try to send it):

Oh my god I can’t believe I have to say this but:

DISABLED PEOPLE CAN HAVE GOOD DAYS!!

Just because I had one day when the pain wasn’t there for long enough for me to enjoy it doesn’t mean I am suddenly “cured from my issue” or that I don’t need accommodations anymore.

transcript

[agathas-megacoven]

I actually really like the “you’re my favourite” line in Season 1 because it’s a really subtle nod to the playful side of Mobius’ character. It reminds us he’s more like Loki than everyone would think. The way he whispers it beside Loki’s ear just for him while simultaneously mouthing it at Sylvie - he’s such a rascal (affectionate) about it, a mischievous scamp, even.

Also, I DO think it’s for Loki especially- which leads me into another reason why I love it; Mobius’ compassionate side is once again coming out. He’s not fooling Sylvie and he knows it. Girlie is fully aware this lil moustached mortal timeman is VERY fond of one Loki in particular. She said “Mobius isn’t so bad, he cares about you.” She doesn’t include herself, and while I’m sure Mobius is starting to grow fond of her here and visa versa, she knows this is just the sweet gesture of a genuinely considerate man trying to express gratitude, include her in this goodbye so she knows she’s appreciated. With 3 softly spoken words, we get so much love and mischief and kindness and compromise and appreciation from Mobius, 3 softly spoken words that are said to convey something slightly different to those who hear them. The different interpretations make them no less true.

But yeah, ultimately I see this moment as a guy playing cool about how deeply he cares about someone, doing it with humour, as he simultaneously is conscientious of the feelings of those around him.

AH I just love Mobius so much it literally hurts. Every time I think about him I take damage.

[murmaiderii]

Does he count as a “hear me out” or is he too normal of an F/O for me to have to justify?

Being disabled sucks because some days are "I'm disabled not stupid" kind of days, when I feel like I'm fending off ableists with a stick. And then some days the brain fog sets in hard and I'm just sitting here going "I'm stupid:("

The Health Benefits of Coffee

Coffee is more than just a beloved beverage; it also offers numerous health benefits. Research has shown that regular coffee consumption can boost physical performance and mental alertness, thanks to its high caffeine content. Caffeine acts as a stimulant, enhancing brain function and improving mood, reaction time, and memory. Moreover, coffee is rich in antioxidants, which help combat inflammation and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Studies have also linked coffee consumption to a reduced risk of several chronic diseases. For instance, regular coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The antioxidants and other bioactive compounds in coffee help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Additionally, moderate coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. This protective effect is thought to be due to the antioxidants in coffee and caffeine's ability to block certain neurotransmitters that lead to these conditions. Furthermore, coffee has been shown to support heart health. Drinking coffee in moderation is linked to a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. The anti-inflammatory properties of coffee, combined with its ability to improve blood vessel function, contribute to this protective effect.
