International Podcast Day!

I'm a little late, but today was busy with work and writing. So for podcast day here's my list of podcast recommendations (along with tumblr links if they have them so you can follow):

@slowly-unspooling:

(I am not above promoing my own show)

Description:

Slowly Unspooling is a serial fiction podcast that follows Kai and their journey to discover the secrets of some tapes that showed up one day. Tapes with their voice on them.

Kai will have to battle with themself and their family to unspool the mystery that has decided to involve them.

length: 10 episodes so far season 2 starting next week

Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality

(follow the creator for this and next @dom-guilfoyle

Description:

Hello, and welcome to the Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality. The Audio Tour Guide will be your window into the history of the museum and its exhibits today.

Please note, that if you notice your version of the Audio Tour Guide behaving oddly, kindly ensure that you dispose of your Audio Device in the nearest incinerator at the earliest convenience.

Personal Review: This story about finding your place in a world, is one of the best I have ever listened to or read. The narratives are weaved perfectly together and I will protect Guide with my life. Stay safe out there.

Length: 79 episodes, completed

Tales of the Low City

Description:

Deep beneath the soil of a dead world, there is life.

Tales From The Low City is a collection of tales from a strange, bleak, and beautiful world where all creatures great and small, ambitious and content, bipedal and tripedal and quadrupedal must come together and make something like "civilisation".

Personal Review: I just started this one after being on the patreon for a while, and I love it. The stories are so well written and as I wrote in an episode review: Dom's main talent has always laid in their ability to tell a story that everyone can relate to, but is more than a simple "i can relate" to some. This episode does just that.

Length: 10, incomplete

The Magnus Archives

Description: “Make your statement, face your fear.” A weekly horror fiction podcast examining what lurks in the archives of the Magnus Institute, an organisation dedicated to researching the esoteric and the weird. Join Jonathan Sims as he explores the archive, but be warned, as he looks into its depths something starts to look back…

Personal Review: Honestly, i don't think I ever sat down to review this one, its so good. Jonathan Sims is one of my favorite authors and while each episode may not be your cup of tea, the whole show has something for everything.

Length: 200 episodes, complete

Liminal Apocalypse

Description: It's the end of the world... Or is it? Five people retreat into an underground doomsday bunker fearing nuclear fallout, and when they get there they start receiving radio transmissions from the outside. But the information they're receiving, just doesn't quite add up.

Personal Review: Short and heart wrenching, Liminal Apocalypse delivers a tale of hope and love defying odds no matter the outcome.

Length: 3 episodes, complete

@wanderersjournalpod

Description: Wanderer’s Journal is a fantasy fiction podcast about Marigold and Pluto, two people from different backgrounds, and their unlikely friendship formed through a magical journal that links them. Each of them finds a journal, learns that their voice is recorded into it, and can be both read and played back to the other. Unbeknownst to them, they become a part of an ancient mystery, and see the world from new angles.

Personal Review: Marigold and Pluto do not fail to entertain, the two of them, unlikely friends in different but similar situations is everything.

Length: 10 episodes, crowdfunding for s2 right now, find a link on their tumblr

Old Gods of Appalachia

Description: In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without bringing forth blood and darkness? Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.

Personal Review: The storylines weave together wonderfully and manage to, in a story about creatures and those more than human, touch on the human story.

Length: 70 episodes, New season 10/31/2024

The Sheridan Tapes

Description: In 2018, famed horror writer Anna Sheridan disappeared, leaving behind only a box of mysterious cassette tapes. Detective Sam Bailey is tasked with piecing together what happened to Anna Sheridan from the seemingly impossible encounters she recorded, but as the scattered pieces of the puzzle come together, Bailey discovers that the picture is even stranger – and more dangerous – than it seemed.

Personal Review: I haven't completed this one, but so far I love the story. Just when you think you have it figured out, no you don't.

Length: ~100 episodes (not entirely sure my rss feed won't show me), completed

@twigsandhearts

Description: A book that ties many together. Who picks up a copy? What powers do they serve? Between missing people and people missing, who will you trust? Twigs and Hearts Open at your own risk.

Personal Review: Each episode made me fall in love more. I am on team angel forever and always. (I have a problem). The story is told in such an interesting format that pleases my soul.

Length: 8 episodes so far, s2 tba

Hey everyone, just a heads up there may not be an episode this week. I got home from work last night, pumped to finish editing today and turns out I have covid. Over night it got significantly worse and I am not sure I can even sit at my computer to work. I will try my hardest but last time I had Covid I slept for 24 hours straight so we’ll see.

[slowly-unspooling]

Season 2 Episode 1 out now

In this episode of Slowly Unspooling, Kai begins their new life with the hope that they've left the past behind. It’s the first day of a new semester, a fresh start in the wake of haunting memories. But the sense of unease builds as strange emails appear in their inbox, triggering old fears.

[slowly-unspooling]

Hey there, listeners!

Continuing with our cast reintroductions (way late because I forgot how busy June is at my day job), let's shine the spotlight on another key character in Kai's story, their sister and her wife:

Lyssa (she/her):

A dedicated nurse, Lyssa finds immense fulfillment in caring for others. Her love for her job extends to her patients and friends, treating them with kindness and empathy. Her bond with her sibling is particularly strong, and she'd go to great lengths to ensure their well-being.

The past year, where she almost lost her sibling, shook her to the core, nearly causing her to lose everything she held dear. Yet, through it all, Lyssa remains extraordinarily compassionate and protective. Her driving force is to make a positive impact through her work and connections in the community.

She tends to stay cool-headed under pressure, striving to remain rational when emotions would rather see her fall apart.

And her wife Jess (she/her)

Jess (38) is Lyssa's devoted wife, fiercely protective of her loved ones. While she may come off as a hard-ass when it comes to those who hurt or threaten Lyssa, her true passion lies in teaching young minds at the local elementary school. She deeply cares for her students and finds joy in nurturing their growth and learning.

When things began going off the rails with Kai, she considered cutting them off to protect Lyssa, but in the end defered to her wife's opinion on the matter. She enjoys cooking, though she isn't very good at it and she goes with Lyssa to a wide variety of community events. 

Stay tuned for more insights into our characters and upcoming episodes!

[slowly-unspooling]

Editing the next episode with a friend.

Season 2 is officially underway! We've got new lines rolling in, special surprises in store, and a story you won't want to miss.

[slowly-unspooling]

Hi everyone! 

I've been a bit quiet here lately, but guess what? It's Pride Month, and that means I'm back to be a little obnoxious and make it everyone's business!

Our auditions for season 2 just wrapped up, and I'm thrilled to soon reach out to those who made the cut. But before that, let's talk about our podcast—it's all about queer horror vibes.

Nobody's straight in this show. None of our actors are cishet. Everyone involved is some flavor of queer!

Now, for the next few days, let's remeet our season 1 cast, starting with the protagonist:

Kai Stevens (they/them):

When season 2 begins, they are 30 years old.

Kai is acearo nonbinary and is just a person trying to exist in a world that doesn't want them to. Not because they're queer, just because the universe has it out for them. 

They used to be trusting, but recent events have peeled away their protective layers. Now they're struggling with trust, even in themselves.

Kai was a radio host and part-time podcaster until tapes of their voice led to losing both jobs. Now, they're living with their sister and her wife, along with their cat Smokey (voiced and modeled after my own cat).

Excited for what's next in store! Keep an eye out for updates.

[slowly-unspooling]

Happy Pride 2023!

As we get into Pride month, it’s important to celebrate and recognize the unique voices of queer creators, especially in genres that have traditionally been exceptionally lacking in good representation, such as horror.

Aspen Rayne, the creator and writer of Slowly Unspooling, as well as the entire cast and crew, are members of the queer community and are honored to collaborate and bring their individual experiences and perspectives together to create something twisted, surreal, and above all, authentically terrifying.

Slowly Unspooling is an upcoming horror podcast centering around the journey of Kai, a nonbinary acearo radio host and podcaster, as they search for answers regarding strange cassette tapes that have begun showing up filled with alarming recordings– recordings of their voice that they have no memory of making.

Whoever, or whatever, is sending the tapes, only one thing is certain: the person in the recordings is in trouble, and Kai will do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery and make sure that they and the people they love are safe.

Make sure to stick around and meet the rest of the characters as they join Kai in traversing the nightmare unfurling around them, and keep in mind that things are rarely, if ever, as they seem.

[slowly-unspooling]
