Hello, and welcome to the Department of Variance. Allow us to introduce ourselves. Again. Please familiarize yourself with your new coworkers and superiors.

This new character art is thanks to the lovely @nerdvolutionkurisu and was made possible by our wonderful patrons!

[thenightpost]

A list of excellent fiction podcasts that have no network (to my knowledge) and could use your support, all made by queer creators and featuring queer characters:

Care & Feeding of Werewolves (@careandfeedingofwerewolves) - the medical notes and adventures of a doctor for the paranormal community

Small Victories (@wgc-productions) - a slice of life dramedy about addition, recovery, and relationships

The Department of Variance of Somewhere, Ohio (@somewhereohio) - surreal/weird fiction following agents trapped in the building of their shady government bureau

Hello from the Hallowoods (@hellofromthehallowoods) - vignettes of a huge cast of characters interweave in a long-form narrative of queer survivors

Dragon Shanty (@dragonshantypod) - in the form of bedtime stories, two lighthouse keepers tell their history of magic and dragons

The Aberrant Report (@theaberrantreport) - a tape recorder-style murder investigation that delves into the supernatural

InCo (@itmeblog) - sci-fi micro-fiction following an information courier in the far future

Starfall (@starfallpod) - the fantasy adventures of a theater troupe that uses magic to create their performances

Neighbourly (@neighbourlypod) - weird/surreal fiction anthology about the secrets behind closed doors on a very strange street

The Night Post (that's us!) - a mystery/horror about queer survival and the realities of living with the natural and supernatural

I’ve had a podcast idea for like a year or two now and was gonna try make it some time but like last week I decided I wanted to make something more simple and I’ve now roped my girlfriend into writing a horror audio drama with me so y’know, it is how it is, will be posting updates

[hellofromthehallowoods]

Just listened to the Somewhere Ohio series, in absolute tears over your performance great job 👍🏻

Green Plot and Sterling Proof occupy a special place in my heart. Rat Grimes did a wonderful job with those two

[pocketfullofarchivists]

I know how I mostly reblog popular audio drama stuff. Because I love and adore it, yeah

but also? my brain is full of smallest stories being amazing.

While my own post is. less. in the sea of Everything I love about that medium…

I do appreciate and give all the stars to every podcast that make my soul sing.

This space is very divergent and yet I don’t feel like an outsider anywhere

All the warm and fuzzy feeling but horrific monstrous stories being directly told in my ears

(yup I can’t add more tags but I do give my heart to more indie podcasts to live there)

[mall-fountain-daydream]

listening to Department of Variance by @somewhereohio again and? I'm so obsessed?

"you're not bored anymore"

"that was rash. against protocol. downright dangerous. personally insulting. and the right fucking thing to do. you kind, kind fool."

only finishing up episode 3 and very emotional feeling so normal

[aropodcastfuck]

Finally got around to listening to department of variance of somewhere Ohio (sequel to dead letter office of somewhere Ohio) and ITS SO GOOD PLEASE GO LISTEN TO IT I NEED PEOPLE I CAN TALK TO ABOUT I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS

[gimcrack-and-gamboling]

You know it's going to be a better day when you see this.

[lesbian-jack-barnabas]

pick my next podcast listen for me except it is glaringly obvious that i am a raging lesbian

[epictamis]

Green and Sterling is toxic yaoi and you can't change my mind

[somewhereohio]

I want to study the incredible brain on the person who (presumably) listened to all of season 1 and half of season 2 and somehow missed...all of the show apparently until now.

"Now I can stomach the communists, the anti-american sentiment, the lesbians, and even the multiple nonbinary human characters. But a cat?"

Either that or they STARTED with episode 6 of season 2 of a show they've never listened to.

[hellofromthehallowoods]

I have never seen fan art for Green Plot and Sterling Proof in @somewhereohio but I am hoping Season 2 will change that 👀

[pocketfullofarchivists]

so…the department of dead letters probably was one podcast this year I didn’t fully get(yes, I first listened to DOV and then tried to retroactively fit more metaphorical elements into reality)

but you know what also didn’t help? Inability to feel serious when “Boss” transformation happened…thanks to drawfee bit of Nathan as a “big boss man”
