I'm back with a slightly-rebranded Audio Drama Sunday!

This week saw the return of @redvalleypod, a heartwarming episode of @mouseknightstudios's Ghost InSpectors, and shenanigans courtesy of Gabriel Urbina's writing stint on @worldgonewrongpod!

I found a new hobby in the form of making keychains/phone charms of podcasts I really like

the first one I ever made. It's based on Ep. 34: Anatomy Class of The Magnus Archives. The only one that has a prototype (only because I was waiting on material to arrive and really wanted to see if it would look good)

another based on the Magnus archives. The four tapes are for Jon, Martin, Sasha, and Tim and the eye is for Elias/Jonah

my first keychain (because I either didn't really look at the sizes or misread something and the tarot cards arrived bigger than expected). It's inspired by Englewood After Dark and the cards are for Finn (the fool) and Eve (the tower). The "blood drops" are for Jessica, Angela, and Laura. The three victims of Professor Schmidt.

I plan to add other characters if I have the fitting charms.

Really love this one.

the only non-fiction podcast here. I actually never planned on making a This Paranormal Life phone charm but I found the bigfoot charm while browsing and decided that this has to be a sign.

It's the OG logo of the podcast with an added rocket as a reference to the Galactic 12.

A little bit obsessed with Englewood after dark right now

That s1 finale cliffhanger was perfect

FEED SWAP!

Whilst we continue our Kickstarter Campaign, we would love to highlight trailers from likeminded shows!

Englewood After Dark ( @englewoodafterdark ) is a horror audio drama. College students Finn Nightingale and Eve Pemberly run a true crime conspiracy podcast from their university’s drama department. Their town, Englewood, is a hotbed of unsolved gruesome crimes and urban legends just ripe for the discussing. Their most recent case, diving into the legend surrounding The Murder Farm, pushes them to investigate the past of a long-dead serial killer professor at their university. But as they dig up more clues, they soon discover the roots of a conspiracy that stretches through history to the founding of Englewood. Some secrets are best kept hidden, and when they attract the attention of the powers that be on their campus, they are forced to rely on their wits to survive. Englewood After Dark is released Tuesdays at 3 pm (CT) every week.

Created by Hannah Brown, Dennis Ortman and A. Rose.

May 15: Schrödinger's Pledge

Why should you listen to Schrödinger's Pledge?

You're a sucker for childhood best-friend turned enemy. You specialize in holding your breath and fighting your demons at the same time. And, most importantly, you can keep a secret. All the way to your grave.

Schrödinger's Pledge is a stand-alone that takes place in the wider Englewood After Dark universe and the Cypress Phone booth, featured in this one shot, will guest-star in a later season. The Kappa Phi sorority name has an in-universe significance, and is taken from a Greek phrase meaning 'circle of babblers'.

Schrödinger's Pledge: "The Cypress Phone Booth. Everyone knows that lifting the receiver from the hook and paying the price connects you to the afterlife. It's Kappa Phi tradition that new pledges spend seven minutes inside the booth. For pledge Helen, those might be the last minutes of her life."

This poster was made by the Schrödinger's Pledge team.

We're counting down to episode release by highlighting one podcast a day. Check out this show on May 25th!

Audiodrama Sunday - Bit of a vampire theme today

Dracula: The Danse Macabre - This Dracula-AU has the sort of pristine sound design I expect from Jeffrey Nils Gardner and engaging storytelling I expect from Gabriel Urbina. Fans of the original will enjoy the little references and hopefully spot the nice little twist at the end, and those not familiar with the Dracula canon will get to enjoy a great horror story. Mina/Lucy shippers will find lots of fodder for your AO3 fics, and people who hate the way Mina's agency is removed by some interpretations should really enjoy this one. Score was great too.

My one small niggle is a side character (Father Sheridan) with a bit of an "Oirish" accent, which made my Salford-Irish catholic side twitch - I suspect this is because the show is a two-hander with the main VAs playing all the parts, so I can forgive this because of the constraint - not everyone can be an accent chameleon. For a full cast show though, with so many great Irish voice actors out there, it shouldn't be necessary to do this any more, especially if you can pay your VAs. If you want to know more about the diversity of Irish accents, me and my friend Niall have made this handy resource:

Not Quite Dead - More amazing work from Eira. I loved Spirit Box Radio and Not Quite Dead is equally intense and poignant. As in previous work, NQD has sensitive and gentle portrayals of queerness, anxiety and mental illness interspersed with emotive horror. I don't often see immunology references in audiodramas, nice… The Occurrence in River Oaks - A classic tale of "otherworldly presence invades small town America and the capitalist military industrial complex decides to try and profit from it with predictable results". The main characters are all cops, but at least they're the mostly decent local kind who have a close relationship with their community. Excellent monster sound design, very unsettling, nicely bingeable length to keep me going during my day.

Englewood After Dark - Love to see the podcast within a podcast encountering the local creeping horrors done well. The two leads playing Finn and Eve have a really good chemistry with each other too, which can make or break this sort of thing. Looking forward to the next series.

Happy audio drama Sunday, friends! I'm back! Here's a roundup of 16 fiction podcasts I listened to while my blog was on hiatus! My regular Sunday posts will resume next week!

[matchestopetrol]

Old gods of Appalachia is also incredible, poetic and horrific.

my podcasts

everyone who follows me is aware that I'm really into The Magnus Archives/Protocol but I never really talk about my other favourits.

So I decided to make a list of all the podcasts I currently listen to.

The Magnus Archives/The Magnus Protocol

this one does not need any introductions. I love the statements. I love the characters. I love everything about it 10/10

woe.begone ( @woebegonepod )

In a search for an interesting ARG, Mike Walters accidentally stumbles into a brutal real life game, known online as WOE.BEGONE. What begins as an exploration of the game turns into a search for the powerful technology that makes the game possible.

I started it this week and I'm in love with it. As someone who was really into ARGs a few years ago, this podcast really scratches a specific itch I didn't know I had. Also, the music is so good! Absolutely in love with it!

The Holmwood Foundation ( @theholmwoodfoundation )

A modern day sequel to the gothic novel Dracula, we follow Maddie Townsend (Rebecca Root) and Jeremy Larkin (Seán Carlsen), two co-workers at the Holmwood Foundation: a secret organisation that has been maintaining and studying the remains of Count Dracula over the last 130 years, as they are possessed by the ghosts of Jonathan and Mina Harker, and embark on a road trip across the country in an effort to achieve their ghost's wishes: stop Dracula once and for all. This is a story about identity and self discovery, family loyalty and devotion, all wrapped around a nightmare of a road trip with a rejuvenating severed head, incredibly sincere Victorian ghosts and an analogue recorder.

Only the pilot is currently out and the Kickstarter just started but I'm already in love with the characters thanks to the very active tumblr page. The pilot only deepened my love for them.

Malevolent

Arkham Private Investigator Arthur Lester wakes up with no memory of who he is or what has happened, only a nameless, eerie voice guiding him through the darkness. Blind, terrified, and confused, his journey will lead him towards a series of mysteries in the hopes of understanding the truth of what has transpired. As cosmic horrors seep into the world around, Arthur must ask himself whether this entity truly seeks to help him, or are its intentions more…

Harlan Guthrie is just amazing. His performances as literally every character is amazing. I really need to catch up.

The Gentleman from Hell

An entire town… gone. Without a trace. No signs, no warnings. Just silence. This is the story of Cold Sparrow. Twenty-four years ago, the peaceful town of Cold Sparrow became the center of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern history. Every resident vanished. Among them, the enigmatic billionaire Benjamin Veers, whose strange ways made him an icon of intrigue. The town, once forgotten, now infamous. The questions? Endless. The answers? Nonexistent. For over two decades, investigators have been left baffled—cults, kidnappings, disappearances—none have led them closer to the truth. But now, three celebrated private investigators—famous for bringing down one of the most dangerous cults in history—have been called upon to tackle this mystery. Known for taking on the cases no one else could solve, they’re determined to uncover what really happened in Cold Sparrow. Yet, the deeper they dig, the darker the whispers become. Rumours swirl of something far more sinister than anyone ever imagined. Could the mystery of Cold Sparrow be tied to forces that reach far beyond our world? Could it be linked to something… infernal? Some mysteries, once uncovered, may be better left untouched. Cold Sparrow: A town that disappeared… but something still lingers in the shadows. The investigation begins… now.

Only a handful of episodes are out and they are all between 20 and 30 minutes long. The sound design is amazing. Love the characters so far and the story is really intriguing. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

Englewood After Dark ( @englewoodafterdark )

Englewood After Dark is a horror/drama podcast following the adventures of Finn Nightingale and Eve Pemberly as they uncover the many secrets lurking on the haunted campus of Englewood University.

As of right now only two episodes are out and I can't really say much about the plot but I like the characters enough to tune in every week. There are some hints about how the story might progress and I can't wait to be front-row witness of it's evolution.

This Paranormal Life

Every Tuesday, comedians Rory Powers and Kit Grier investigate a different paranormal case and find the truth inside the mystery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

currently the only non-fiction podcast I listen to. I'm still trying to catch up (currently on episode 250 of almost 400) while also listening to every new episode on spotify and everything currently on patreon. Also, my favorite show to fall asleep to.

Podcasts I'm currently not actively listening too but still want to mention:

The Edge of Sleep

When a night watchman finishes his shift at work, he is terrified to discover that everyone in the world who went to sleep the previous night has died.

The podcast that made me fall in love with audio dramas. It's not perfect but I still like and can't wait for season 2 to finally come out (if it ever comes out). Also Mark has such nice voice it's almost criminal.

Welcome to Night Vale

WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE is a twice-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the small desert town of Night Vale, featuring local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff's Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events. Turn on your radio and hide.

It's just an ongoing on-off relationship between me and this podcast. I love it don't get me wrong but sometimes I just need a break from it. Also I still need to read the novels that have been collecting dust since last year

(the list might get longer over time since I have a shit tone of podcasts I still have to try and some others I might give another try. I will reblog it once I add something new)

[englewoodafterdark]

Psst. Hey you, yes, you. Englewood is opening a casting call for some ensemble roles in Season 2.

A man suspected of killing his girlfriend and her unborn child and then hiding their bodies in a Wisconsin farmhouse was arrested in a Missouri traffic stop after three years on the lam, according to the Gladstone Police Department. 

Jose Eduardo Dominguez Garcia, 26, was pulled over shortly after midnight on Nov. 23 when an automated license plate reader indicated that the red Ford Fusion he was driving northeast of Kansas City, Missouri, was stolen, the department wrote in a press release. 

The driver reportedly had a number of fake ID cards on his person and gave officers several different names around 12:34 a.m. on NE Englewood Drive in Gladstone, police said.

Ultimately, police identified him as Jose Eduardo Dominguez-Garcia, 26, who was wanted on first-degree murder, murder of an unborn child and hiding a corpse charges in Missouri's Chippewa County, per the release.

Dominguez-Garcia was issued those charges on Dec. 12, 2021, after a dark-haired, pregnant corpse recovered a year earlier in an abandoned farmhouse in Wheaton was positively identified as Rosaly "Cindy" Chavarria Rodriguez, 24.

An informant reportedly told officers about the body's location during a drug investigation, per the Leader Telegram.

The corpse, found hidden in a purple suitcase on the abandoned property on Oct. 14, 2020, was found wearing a shirt that read "Sprecher's Restaurant and Pub," per NBC 15. 

Staff at the restaurant told police that Chavarria Rodriguez had worked there as a pantry cook for two weeks and was last seen there on July 2 before she stopped showing up for work and, ultimately, the corpse was found, per the Leader Telegram.

Dominguez-Garcia also worked at the restaurant, according to KMBC. He reportedly picked her last paycheck up for her on July 23, according to the Leader Telegram.

In an interview with the Reedsburg Police Department on July 23 that year, Dominguez-Garcia told detectives that he had broken up with Chavarria Rodriguez on July 4 after he learned she had been cheating on him, per the Leader Telegram. He said he knew the woman was pregnant, and that she had told him the unborn child's father was a different man. 

Investigators found Dominguez-Garcia's abandoned 2003 Volkswagen Jetta in the Wisconsin Dells area on Aug. 26, 2020, per the Leader Telegram. In the trunk, they noted fluids that indicated a decaying body may have been stored there at one point, per the outlet. 

Surveillance footage captured the same car along 2655 Highway T, in the area where the woman's body was uncovered, on July 23. 

Chavarria Rodriguez's ex-husband had reported the Peruvian national missing on July 21. 

Dominguez-Garcia is currently behind bars at Clay County Detention Center in Liberty, Missouri, jail staff confirmed to Fox News Digital. It is unclear when he will be extradited to Wisconsin to face the charges against him. 

Former Chippewa County Sheriff Jim Kowalczyk said Chavarra Rodriguez's was the only unresolved murder investigation he left before his retirement, and that he was glad to see an arrest made. 

"This has been a very long and intense investigation," Kowalczyk told the Leader Telegram on Friday. "A lot of time and effort was put into this investigation by many agencies, and as a result, he will be brought to justice." 

The former sheriff said he was surprised Dominguez-Garcia was arrested in the United States, as "all indications… led us to believe he went back to his country of origin."

Fox News Digital could not reach the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office, the Chippewa County Prosecutor's Office or the Gladstone Police Department at press time.
