I forgot how much David Ault broke my heart in the September 20th entry. His broken sobbing as Arthur is just gut-wrenching.

[thermodynamic-comedian]

listening to tsv as one of my later fiction podcasts is insane because tell me why they hit me with back to back jonny sims AND david ault appearances. hello??? i feel like i'm being haunted by the ghosts of audio dramas past

[ex-libris-craux]

So Re: Dracula ended and has left a horror-themed-audiofiction-shaped hole in your life? Please allow me to recommend Shadows At The Door as your next listen! Some reasons you may be interested:

David Ault (Judge Moneybags, aka Lord Arthur Godalming) is, for the first couple of seasons, almost literally the entire cast. There are jokes about it. So many jokes. I think there are even T-shirts.

Karim Kronfli- you know, that Dracula dude? Is also a recurring VA, including for SatD's PHENOMENAL dramatisation of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Rahul Motherfucking Kohli - also a VA for SatD! Believe me when I say I screamed like a little girl and replayed the episode four times in a day.

Ever listened to The Magnus Archives? Did you like their sound design? Nico does the score for SatD as well and it's BREATHTAKING.

Jamie Flanagan wrote the script for an episode in the current season. Yes, THAT Jamie Flanagan. The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House Of Usher, Jamie Flanagan. You're welcome.

Two podcasts in one! Each episode features not just the horror fiction, but a post-episode discussion that is every bit as entertaining as the stories themselves. Mark Nixon (the showrunner) and David (Ault, yes), occasionally joined by VAs or writers, chat together thoughtfully, irreverently, frequently filthily, always entertainingly, sometimes even about the episode itself, lol (digressions are frequent, and frequently hilarious).

Drunk. Ghost. Stories. Trust me. TRUST ME.

The sound design is exquisite. Mark has a fantastically talented ear for effective and atmospheric foley and a flawless editor's touch.

An engaging blend of classic stories and new authors.

QUEER REP IN QUEER MEDIA MADE BY QUEER PEOPLE!!!!

Genuinely, Shadows at the Door is one of my favourite podcasts, full stop, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's just *so damn good*. Please consider giving it a listen!

By now you may have already heard, at long last, what a man with a voice like honey and chocolate and coffee all at once.

Turns out, it sounds like David Ault!

He started voice acting with Darker Projects in 2005, moving through The Byron Chronicles, Pendant Audio, Colonial Radio Theatre to modern day antics with Fool & Scholar, the NoSleep Podcast team and Shadows at the Door: The Podcast.

Horrorcon UK

Ok, so a little rather late for an Audio Drama Sunday post, but I wanted to share what an epic weekend we had at Horrorcon UK in Sheffield 11-12th May.

Myself, Daivd Ault and James Cleveland (all from The NoSleep Podcast) were there promoting "Horror in Audio Fiction", trying to get more people to discover audio drama and fiction through podcasts, and not assuming all podcasts were two blokes talking about stuff into a mic.

Having worked on over a 100 shows between us, (with a lot of horror), it became a game of "Tell us what kind of horror you like, and we'll recommend a show for you to listen to".

From the big anthology shows like NoSleep, and the very British and queer Shadows at the the Door, we kept finding more shows to talk about and add to an ever-growing flow chart.

Shows we were flag waving for included:

The NoSleep Podcast Shadows at the Door @re-dracula @thekilda @woebegonepod Dark Dice Red Odyssey Audible Visions Drama Creepy Campfire Radio Theatre The Wicked Library Victoria's Lift The Dead @lessismorguepod The Hidden Frequencies

And it wasn't just horror! We gave shoutouts to @camlannpod and the sci-fi series Cyclone as well!

In all, a wonderful weekend introducing people to the incredible world of audio drama and fiction.

[ SOUNDS OF CICADAS. BLUSTER SNORTS. SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS AND THEN A KNOCK. THE DOOR OPENS. ]

TEX: (smiling audibly) Outlaw, you old son of a gun! I was wondering when your sorry ass was gonna show back up. How'd your trip into the trunk go? You find everything you's were looking for? OUTLAW: (stammering) Yeah- I found more schematics for the array, they're- they're using iridium to stabilize the… (he starts to choke up and sniffs) stabil- TEX: Uh, whoa, Outlaw you okay? What's wrong? OUTLAW: Oh Tex- Tex it was awful (he starts sobbing) TEX: It's okay, it's okay c'mere, c'mere. I got ya. I got ya. [ OUTLAW CRIES IN HIS ARMS WHILE HE TALKS ] TEX: It's gonna be okay. Tell me what happened. It's okay. It's okay, Outlaw. OUTLAW: (tearfully) I almost got us all killed. And all the Tys that were helping us got killed. They sacrificed themselves for us, I- I almost got Mikey put back into Storage, I almost ended Base. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Tex. TEX: It's gonna be okay, Outlaw. You kept saying 'almost'. 'Almost' only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. And Sly's still the only one I know who got grenades. And those are safe and sound in his place. C'mon, let's get you inside. You can tell me all about what happened.
