Mel audiodrama rec list!

I'm gay sad and picky, read into that how you may - in no real order - heed each show's TWs

RED VALLEY!! LOVE THIS SHOW TO DEATH. Great beginner audiodrama, such excellent audio and writing and chemistry and woayfhhtm. Cried a lot. A good amount of existential dread. Ough

Woe.begone: lots of wbg brainrot as of late. Genuinely the most scary podcast ever to me - but only if you think about it. Don't get too attached to the ARG format of the first season. Its long, a mind fuck, and not for everyone. It took me 2 tries over a year and a half to lock in properly. Best consumed in a binge as to keep the plot threads fresh in mind. Great discord server <3 cried a lot too

The Grotto: Wbg has great music but Grottos hits different. It makes me want to teeth. I adore the writing personally, but be OK with your pov character sort of being a toxic person. He's trying he really is. This show portrays nuances of grief and mental health issues so well imo. Also great discord server <3

The Kingmaker Histories: Very very charming writing and world building. The world building is alternate history in a way that the fantastical elements occur to you naturalistically as you listen. Lovely lovely cast. Self aware about its tropes and excellently uses em to their advantage. Acknowledges a lot of the darker facets of history in an almost satirical manner to its absolute benefit

The Bright Sessions: Was actually my first full audiodrama! Was obsessed with it for a while. A good comfort listen imo, it's character chemistry is definitely a strong suit; a very human look at fantastical people

Fawx & Stallion: Narm-y but so genuinely charming. I absolutely love the casting choices, I think they're all so perfect for the characters. I'd almost call it a satire played straight, where the main characters behave in nearly caricature levels of eccentricity, but their consequences are shockingly grounded. It's pleasant! Can't wait for the next season

Ethics Town: I'm a philosophy sociology student, legally cannot not recommend. It subverted my expectations for what the format of the story would be tbh! In a neutral way, it just took me by surprise the first time. The world building is very fun and relatively unique, it gets you attached in a way that can really make your stomach drop

The Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality: SO GOOD AND SO SLEPT ON!! I loved this show so much, its one of those that leave you craving for something to hit you the same way it did. One of my favourite anthology shows, mainly because of how interlinked the over all plot is to all of it, all while keeping the stories so fresh and invigorating. Listen to it!!!

SCP: Find Us Alive: The characters and cast are excellent; and I like how strained and tense the relationships between them get! It's not necessarily comfortable to listen to, but it's investing and leaves you on edge just like the characters would be. I like their personal lives breaching the strict professionalism of their work gradually. No prior knowledge of SCP really necessary

Jar of Rebuke: Really poignant in the alienation it portrays. I love the way Jared experiences the world and himself; his understanding of his own gender, the way that his innate abilities don't correlate to those of others, the way that he never feels quite like he's saying the right thing, it's all such mfmfjdndmdm good show. Unfortunately audio does sometimes tick off my sensory issues

Neighborly: I LOVE GOTHIC HORROR SO MUCH OH MY GOD. I love the narrative structure and the domestic horror of this show. The ambiance and the dreamy story telling all excellent. The one issue I have is that listening to it with headphones REALLY fuck with my sensory issues :((

Blake Skye Private Eye: Really slept on imo! The exaggerated noir setting and pacing are great, unfortunately the audio leveling does mess with my sensory issues :( is someone willing to lend me a better auditory system

Shelterwood: As aforementioned I LOVE GOTHIC HORROR SO MUCH. THE SUBLIME. THE DOMESTIC SUSPENCE. LOVE THAT SHIT. I really love the sound design here. Characters are so so real. Love them. Can't wait for more

Keep it Steady: Fuck fuck fuck man. I cried most of the way through heart brockoken this is so good I love it cant wait for more.

Speed round for podcasts I like to throw on for light hearted (to me) quick, queer fluff

- Love and Luck

- Kaleidotrope

- The Two Princes

- The Lavender Tavern

- Tales from the Low City

- Monstrous Agonies

[audiodramatised]

shoutout to shelterwood for having a character in its gothic story who is a professor of gothic literature and whose knowledge of the genre does not save her . so fucking awesome

Happy audio drama Sunday, friends! This week's new podcast episodes brought the return of @souloperatorpod, a nightmarish series of events in @midstpodcast's UNEND, and some exciting revelations in Windfall!

[chemicallywrit]

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! I emerge from the mines (moving and unpacking) to do a short post about two shows that premiered this week that absolutely rule.

🪼Mercy: A Queer Eldritch Western caught my attention because i frikkin love a fantastical western pastiche. And it did not disappoint. Mercy and the surrounding towns are under seige by eldritch laughing jellyfish, and the only people who are trying to help are a mysterious cowboy and a doctor of the arcane who talks WAY too much. The sound design is SWEET, the writing is incredible, i’m in love with these characters already, please check it out.

🏘️ It’s no secret that I’ve been excited for Shelterwood, being one of the producers, and I did have the opportunity to listen to the first two episodes before this week, but I waited so i could savor it with y’all. And folks….This show is terrifying in a way that creeps into my bones. I’m sure it’s because I’m a suburban kid myself, but holy heck. Now I know what happens next, and you are not gonna want to miss it.

That’s all for me! Someone hit up the Sandman for me, i need to sleep today.

[ilikethisnow]

I love Shelterwood but man I might just love suburban horror in general. It really plays with this concept of safety. The world is safe...until it decides that you are a threat. Just something about you. Something you may even pride yourself on. Your uniqueness. If it's at odds with the Community? Gone.

Also, there's something to be said about suburbs themselves. Rows of houses, neighborhoods each with some flavor but contorted into "character"- dutifully enforced by an HOA. And to come back to Shelterwood, the main character being kind of an architecture nerd (or at least knowledgeable) really brings attention to it. The buildings are the idea of Home.

Also there's really cool monsters in Shelterwood. Which is also just very suburban (also that they're just kind of there)

[statictwoo]

Shelterwood is OUTTTTTT and sounding so good already!! I recommend this to all the horror podcast fans following me!!

[yetwesleep]

me watching nick deroso immediately confront william in the next episode teaser

[field-cryptobotanist]

So far Shelterwood is giving me over the garden wall meets I am in Eskew meets Alice in wonderland meets true crime documentary meets schmigadoon

It's very charming, especially the second episode!

Love the creepy poetry

Happy #AudioDramaSunday everyone! I've got a LOT to talk about this week so strap in!!

In terms of long-term listens, just finished my TMA season 1 relisten and am now focusing my main listen energy on Hello From the Hallowoods (I'll finish my TMA relisten later). Outside of that though there was SO MUCH good stuff this week:

@re-dracula has finally entered the logs for the Demeter and Alasdair Stuart is once again absolutely killing it as a captain of a spooky boat

This week we were also introduced to the magical world that is @levianpod which comes out of the gate swinging and has fully enraptured me with ep 1. I want to know EVERYTHING about this world! The folks behind Levian are crowdfunding, please help them out

Also this week for me were episodes 1 and 2 of @doyoucopypod which has joined the ranks of shows that have made me cry in the office (this is a compliment I swear). I'm loving the premise behind Do You Copy and each performance so far has made me a little feral. Go listen go go go!

@tellnotalespod has also taken over my life this week. I am still very early on in the show but my gods its beautiful and so so good. I love Leo with my whole heart and the premise is just so fascinating. Please help them make season 2 happen!

And of course we have to talk about @ethicstownpod. Episode 4 absolutely wrecked me (also at work I gotta stop listening at work [I will not stop]) Rhys Lawton and Liz Dokukina are absolute masters of punching me in the heart, their performances are INCREDIBLE

A friendly reminder that @ShelterwoodPod is still crowdfunding! They're in their last 10 days and can use any support yall can give

On the subject of crowdfunding, we here at the Fringes just finished! I've already been overly sappy (see thread below) but thank you thank you thank you again to everyone. Season 2 is going to be a LOT of fun and I can't wait to share it with yall

Week ahead is promising more Hallowoods and more Tell No Tales and probably more crying at my desk in office because if they want me to go in they need to deal with the fact that I will cry to audiodramas
