[hangingslothcentral]

looking for a new audio drama?

If you like weird philosophical sci-fi and cyborgs, and hate AI and capitalism, check out Clockwork Bird!! it's the first show I ever made so it's a bit rough around the edges but it's an exploration about the rights of the dead, the limits of science, and the nature of personhood. it's all told through scattered 'found footage' recordings as listened to by Shelly Croft as she looks for her missing journalist girlfriend, Alice, who disappeared whilst she was investigating the welfare of Robin Jaeger, the posterchild for advanced synthetic limbs who may be more, and less, than he seems.

Clockwork Bird as 30 episodes, each 10-25 minutes long.

If you like spooky stories with a lot of heart, long series with lots of moving parts and character arcs, check out Spirit Box Radio! This show has a ton of original music and an accordian cast which grows as the show goes on, topping out at about 27 VAs. Sam Enfield is the happy-go-lucky host of Spirit Box Radio's Enlightenment Segment in the absence of its previous host, but something fishy is going on, and Sam's actually at the centre of a plot with apocalyptic stakes. SBR is a show about grief, storytelling, and what happens when a people pleaser has potentially unlimited magical powers. Find it @spiritboxradio.

Spirit Box Radio has 93 episodes, each 15-30 minutes long, with season finales that are up to 50 minutes long.

Do you like vampires? Gay vampires? Gay vampires that suck (blood. and other, uh, things)? Not Quite Dead may be the show for you. Join Alfie, a former A&E nurse who's knee deep in horrors because of his boyfriend, Casper, who is a vampire. Cas is missing with no indication of when he will return, but without his blood, Alfie is going to die. As time runs out, Alfie records everything he can remember about the months leading up to this moment. This show is gory and horny. Season Two has a tiny blonde guy who sounds French but who is older than the concept of France. This love story bites, viciously, multiple times, for fun and profit. Find it at @notquitedeadpod.

Not Quite Dead has 40 episodes, each 20-40 minutes long. The final season will be out in 2025.

Are you into mysteries and characters who eat hot chip and lie? Do you enjoy listening to shows as they air? Are you a person who likes to have conspiracy-board-level theories about the media you engage with? My new show, Remnants, might be just up your alley. Remnants follows the Apprentice as he learns how to read the objects that come to the First and Last Place. He's watched over by Sir, but Sir isn't much help. Thier purpose is strange and confusing, and the more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more he wonders at what the meaning of it all is, and if there might be some connection he's been missing... Find it at @remnantspod.

Remnants S1 will have 30 episodes of about 30 minutes. S1 started airing in July, and will finish in March 2025.

A couple of days ago I finished listening to Not Quite Dead and it's fucking amazing, I'm so obsessed and I feel like there are more important things for me to be preoccupied with about it but I cannot stop thinking about CASPER. Like, I had believed he was dead ever since they found him, and was even like damn Alfie this denial is extreme, but I just don't KNOW anymore. Like the fact that they never got around to properly burning or burying Casper before he was fuckin body snatched is SO suspicious to me, like sure maybe Bonham etc wanted to do more tests on him or whatever, but didn't we establish that they left everything in the lab, including Casper, there on purpose for Alfie and Neige to find??? And WHAT is the significance of the tie between Casper and Alfie breaking and that being very clearly stated at the start of the latest episode??? Especially since I thought Alfie was under the impression that it'd take years for that to fade. IDK MANNNN I'm not saying Casper is alive. But perhaps he's still a little bit not quite dead.

I started listening to Not Quite Dead! I’m eight episodes in and running around in circles in my room (It’s very good)

Something that I think about is the sympathetic quality of the half mades. Obviously it’s a bad thing to turn into they aren’t a desire but there’s a kind of sympathy and understanding that comes along with them. They’re always referred to as nuzzling, searching to be fed,cared for. Searching for a mother, a carer and someone they can trust. We know they don’t suffer and that’s obviously best for them but even so it has to be a horrible existence. How unglamorous their not-lives are. Breaking themselves in so many ways for the opportunity to feed, being consigned to a gruesome death and floating in a river. I just can’t get over them :/

Neige and Alfie are orbiting each other like a physical art piece and sometimes they crash into each other and I have a fever and it's making me go insane.

[hangingslothcentral]

i love the absolutely bonkers levels of pseudoscience about vampires i do over on @notquitedeadpod and yes it is entirely borne out of a frustration with vampire stories going just a little of the way towards providing a scientific theory of vampires but i also just fucking love the energy of being like *shrug*

'but how do the werewolves---'

*shrug*

'but if the fire magic is---'

*shrug*

'how can the selkies even---'

*eats popcorn*

'have you even thought this through?'

*making focaccia*

Additionally I think there is some sick parallel to be made about stigma and ostracisation. Being too broken to even become a normal vampire, something that itself is seen as a failure to some. To have something intrinsically wrong with you that you can’t even break right is so poetically disgusting and amazing. I spend so much time thinking about the concept of half mades and they make me so sad.

There’s a lot in this podcast about not being enough or not being right but they just bring it to a whole another level. There’s something to be said for which is worse, turning fully or becoming half made. At first it seems simple but the thing about half mades is that they don’t suffer. While yes to suffer is to live I think it reaches a different point when you are literally living off other people life force. To carry around the guilt and self hatred and everything that comes with living as a vampire honestly can be a worse fate if you aren’t strong willed. While it’s a horrible fate to be half made at least you don’t suffer, not on a level you can feel.

Something that I think about is the sympathetic quality of the half mades. Obviously it’s a bad thing to turn into they aren’t a desire but there’s a kind of sympathy and understanding that comes along with them. They’re always referred to as nuzzling, searching to be fed,cared for. Searching for a mother, a carer and someone they can trust.
