ATTENTION ALL FICTION PODCAST FANATICS

I recently got into podcasts cuz of my friend and I need some new ones aaaa. Fiction and Humor are a must and if they have great characters, that's even better. So far I've listend to: - Wolf 359 - The Bright Sessions - The AM Archives - The College Tapes - ars PARADOXICA - Zero Hours - 36 Questions And I currently have these on my list: - Forgive me! - ARDEN - Think Fast Bonus points if they have any of the w359 cast in them cuz I go crazy when I hear their voices in random places :)

Another advance review from one of our beloved friends and colleagues!

The brilliant Emma Sherr-Ziarko already heard today's episode, and she had this to say...

[strongintherealgay]

whoo is in ur banner they look so familiar to me but can't figure out why

Oh wow that's been my banner since 2016 or 2017 and I always forget about it's existence

This is a still from the Wolf 359 live show they did in December 2015 and uploaded a few months later in 2016. From left to right that's Emma Sherr-Ziarko (voice of Renee Minkowski), Zach Valenti (voice of Doug Eiffel), and Cecilia Lynn-Jacobs (voice of Isabel Lovelace). I thought the still was really funny so I made it my header and have never changed it

I was super into the podcast at the time and it's still one of my favorite fiction podcasts to this day. In fact it's a huge inspiration for a fiction podcast I'm writing that has an AI character.

Everyone give a warm welcome to the phenomenal @thegreatdilemmmma (she/her), who's playing Mellie. Emma has over 25 years' experience, but you might recognise her from @wolf359 , 20 to Midnight, or @pairingpodcast . You can find more of her work at emmasherrziarko.com!

CHARACTER FILES:MOMBI (THE WICKED WITCH OF THE NORTH)

First Appearance: The Marvelous Land of Oz Portrayed by: Emma Sherr-Ziarko In her youth, Mombi was a talentless Yookoohoo whose lone gift of transformation caught the eye of the Wicked Witch of the South. Mombi was given the title (very briefly) of Wicked Witch of the North and in her tenure, she hid away the baby Ozma and transformed her into a boy. Ozma reclaimed her birthright and stripped Mombi of her power, though she did promise to care for the woman in her old age.

Shortly after Ozma vanished, Mombi was petrified into a marble statue. Whatever secrets she was hiding are now lost to the world.

my friend asked me if i think minkowski likes hallmark movies and i feel like it swung something in my brain wide open. oh my god she totally does.

[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

propaganda submission for Minkovsky: everyone voting Hera in this round is doing it strictly because she is an AI (and admittedly cool as hell) but there is absolutely nothing hotter in this podcast than commander minkowsky and we all know it. have you heard her voice?? I'm sorry but I respect one (1) figure of authority and its her. she could shoot me with her harpoon and I'd thank her. she's the most (and quite possibly only) competent person in the Hephaestus station and I want her to step on me. she could stab Hilbert and I'd cheer her on and you'd see cartoon hearts floating above my head. she could stab me and I'd react the same way.

My dream fancast for The Martian would star Zach Valenti as Watney, Cecelia Lynn Jacobs as Lewis, and Zach Valenti as all the other characters (with the aid of various wigs and voices)

[mykelneedssleep]

The natural end to my W359 relisten is and always will be the reunion episode they did on Emma Sherr-Ziarko (Minkowski)'s podcast Pairing and it is a joy as always but for those who have not listened to it one of the questions that she asks the entire cast and crew is what they think their character's drink of choice would be and I completely forgot that Michelle Agresti's answer for Maxwell was just straight vodka or a martini but with nothing in it other than gin and that conversation devolves into the fact that Maxwell was canonically a horse girl and that shit had me cracking the fuck up

[hephaestuscrew]

I do think there's something special about the way that audio drama creators seem to love including cameos of voice actors from other popular audio dramas. Obviously, part of the reason why actors from one show might pop up in another is because the audio drama creator community is relatively small and interconnected, and also because those actors are very talented.

But there's also often such a sense that creators are having fun with these cameos. Like Greater Boston casting audio drama heavyweights Briggon Snow, Zach Valenti, and Felix Trench as famous film actors Matt Daemon, Ben Affleck, and Mark Wahlberg respectively. Or Faux and Stallion having Tom Crowley (who plays a Victorian detective in Victoriocity) pop up as Dr Watson. Or Unseen casting Beth Eyre and Felix Trench as characters who are twins. Or Arden getting Emma Sherr-Ziarko to play an actor impersonating a character played by her former Wolf 359 costar Michelle Agresti (with Michaela Swee also appearing as an actor impersonating the other main Arden lead).

In these cases, it's not just that there's a cameo, but that the cameo is given particular (often comedic) significance to those who are aware of the featured actor's other work. The vast majority of people wouldn't recognise any of these voices. But by doing these very intentional cameos, these creators show confidence that a fair chunk of their audience will know these actors and enjoy the link. There's an awareness that listeners of one audio drama are fairly likely to listen to (or at least be aware of) other fiction podcasts, even when the shows in question aren't of particularly similar genres. Recognising these cameos feels like being in on a secret. It feels like these shows are giving a little nod to listeners to say that we're part of the same club.

[emp-t-man]

so like we’re aware of dracula TDM at this point right

and how a major selling point is that it’s made by gabriel “from the creator of wolf 359” urbina yeah

so like. that leads me to believe there’ll be at least a LITTLE bit of familiarity

and all i’m saying is.

Having listened to the Graphic Audio full-cast audobook for All Systems Red, it was fun but I have some thoughts about the voice acting and direction. So now I’m just daydreaming about “if I had Billionaire Money I would buy the audio rights to TMBD and direct and produce another full cast audio version with voice actors handpicked and paid lavishly by Me.”

The cast being:

All Systems Red:

Murderbot: Kevin R. Free is the voice of Murderbot to a lot of people. I would think very hard about this but it would be a foundational return to form. However I feel like I want to reach out and find a non-binary VA because it's a niche that's been tragically underrepresented in Murderbot VAs. I joked before about Vico Ortiz playing live-action Murderbot but do they want to try their hand at voice acting?

Mensah: Cecilia Lynn-Jacobs. Voices Captain Lovelace on Wolf 359. Has incredible talent and range and does the Intrepid Galactic Explorer so well.

Pin-Lee: Emily Woo Zeller. An audiobook narrator I've consistently liked.

Ratthi: Stephen Dookie. He plays the part of Polites in Epic: The Musical and he's excellent in a very sweet, upbeat, friendly way.

Gurathin: Sungwon "ProZD" Cho. I'm picturing somewhere in the range of his Miles Edgeworth voice for this.

Arada: Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey. She's a singer not a VA but her voice sounds so nice.

Overse: Tanja Milojevic. Her range is incredible.

Bharadwaj: Rukhmani Desai (Captain Tripathi, The Strange Case of Starship Iris. She has that calm, reasonable, rational, desperately kind character voice she plays well in Starship Iris that I think would go well for Bharadwaj)

Volescu: Zach Valenti. The vibes are right.

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti. Yes all of them.

Artificial Condition:

ART: Janelle Monáe and I mean it

Tapan: ItMe of InCo Podcast

The ComfortUnit: also ItMe because an important part of listening to faer acting is realizing in awe how fae voices so many characters at once and make them all sound distinct.

Tlacey: kinda thinking Ariela Rotenberg. she does smugly confidently evil very well. However we cannot discount casting ItMe for this role also

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.

Rogue Protocol:

Don Abene: Emma Sherr-Ziarko. She also deserves to be an intrepid space leader again.

Miki: ItMe again in InCo Season 2 Updated SAWA mode

Wilken: me. I want a part. I could totally be a badass evil space assassin

Gerth: does Gerth even have any lines.

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.

Exit Strategy:

Serrat: Zach Libresco. this casting + Janelle Monáe as ART were what drove me to make this post in the first place.

The Combat SecUnit: Ellen McLain in GLaDOS mode. All 2 lines it has.

Network Effect:

Amena: Ishani Kanetkar (The Strange Case of Starship Iris, The Godshead Incidental, excellent VA for a proud and curious but scared young person)

Iris: Jordan Cobb (Janus Descending, Primordial Deep, excellent VA for a gritted-teeth calm scientist in a strange and dangerous place)

Seth: Avery Brooks (I know it is not the 90s anymore. but. Captain Sisko. I can imagine <3 )

Martyn: Alexander Siddig / Siddig El-Fadil (Dr. Bashir). They're TV actors but! I want them as the Ship Captain Husbands

The rest of ART's crew: other podcast VAs I love who I haven't come up with a role for yet. Kristen DiMercurio, Beth Eyre, James Oliva.

Supervisor Leonide: Claudia Christian (Commander Ivanova on Babylon 5 <333 )

Eletra: Michaela Swee who is very busy working at An Actual Hospital but I have a billion dollars in this dream scenario so I can pay her to take a day and record like 4 lines

Ras: Zach Valenti. This is very important.

Three: Jackie Andrews who plays R. J. McCabe on Starship Iris and Elinor Lopez on The Pasithea Powder has the right Vibes For This

Zach Valenti as the Additional Voice of every goon and target who gets the shit scared out of them and/or dies.

Fugitive Telemetry:

Indah: Molly Olguin maybe. she could Be Indah. Absolutely means we need Jackie Hedeman to have a role in FT too.

Tifany: Michelle Agresti (Wolf 359, Arden)

Aylen: Tracey Sayed (also Arden)

Jollybaby, Tellus, Balin: I would open the floor to the delightful Murderbot fandom. Who wants to voice a Preservation bot

Additional voices by--well you know the drill.
