Update 05/20

Hello From The Hallowoods- Finished the available episodes and started a re-listen when I found out that new episodes came out a couple of months back. Haven't finished it because it's been a busy year but oh my God, I don't know if I said it before but I love this show. The creator is amazing, they do so many cool voices and I try to emulate Diggory Graves when my boyfriend asks me to read the OG Sandman comics out loud to him. Diggery gives me Sandman vibes and no one can take that from me. The ending of the arc I listened to, where Percy gets the recognition he'd been waiting for, when they finally defeat the Instrumentalist...I wish I could get that. It was beautiful. Poignant. Almost made up for Walt. Almost.

Old Gods Of Appalachia - New episodes have come this way too and it was so fun to re-listen to the stories and get back into the lore of this show. I remember the surprise and drama of finishing the available episodes last time and this time, new details that I've picked up and focused on have made the show strike me in an entirely new way. Particularly the Good Mother Ministries plot line and Cowboy Abshire's. Can't wait to start new episodes and foam at the mouth about it.

Juno Steel (S4) - I love me some Peter Nureyev backstory. We have been waiting ages for this. Juno trying to cope with his whole existence and his feelings is very well-handled and God help me I love Puck Falco for treating people like people. They fucking rock, okay? I'm just glad they got Rita.

Second Citadel (S3?) - I'm sorry, but the Petrichrous ritual was supposed to be sexy, in my mind. I thought they were gonna, ya know, do some lizard kissing on the altar and create life. Sure it wasn't really how that ritual was supposed to go but a girl can dream, can't she? But noooo, Sir Tristan the Cold had to swoop in and drag my fave away from my other faves and now they're just, monster hunting, I guess? I loved the Plane of Mirrors! Quanyii trying her best to be strong for everyone by taking a magic edible was just absolutely hilarious, and the fact that the place brought out everyone's fears was really a very cool way to get perspective on their characters. I'm excited for the rest of the season for sure.

Kisses In The Dark- Am I here because I liked Izzy Hands a bit too much in Our Flag Means Death and have been devouring media with Con O'Niell's voice in it in an unhealthy way ever since I finished watching the show, twice? Absolutely. I don't know if he's Death or a vampire with like, acid-venom? Regardless the imagery is lovely, his monologues and soliloquies are just breathtaking and I am in love. I consumed this media as fast as he consumes his prey. It's a problem. I have a problem and that's okay. Everyone should listen to this. It's got TMA vibes, it's got Broadchurch vibes. Just, murder and romance and secrets and monsters. It's just fucking lovely. The only drawback is bc it's remote audio it can sound a bit weird when shifting characters.

Wolf 359 (again) (yes, again again) - yearly relisten. I am officially shifting my favorite character line to include more people. For one, Warren Kepler. The man is a fucking mad hen, with a great poker face. He played both sides until it came down the line and he picked humanity. I also just, love Hilbert and how committed he is to his work. They stopped him and his first thought was, "Let's blow them up." That's my kind of man, apparently.

Peacemaker Pod is- Great follow-up to the show. I loved getting to hear the creator and the actors commentate and give their thoughts, even if it was a bit cheesy. I certainly gained more perspective on the show and the way the actors played their parts. I'm just glad they've only killed one of my favorite characters so far in Peacemaker. If they get a second season and kill my faves I will probably just die. Same with Our Flag Means Death. If they kill my fave before his redemption arc I will just walk into the ocean. Long story short, great podcast, and a great show. Watch it. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

My Running Favorite Podcasts List:

The Penumbra Podcast - Juno Steel mysteries. I've dipped my toes into Second Citadel, not sure if I want to sacrifice my soul for it just yet. As for Juno's stuff, I would die for every member of the Carte Blanche and the first episode still gives me chills, even on the fourth relisten.

Welcome To Night Vale - my first podcast. My favorite baby. I listened to this thing walking the mile to and from campus and the mile across the highway to work for a year. I based my marching band tech assignments in Night Vale 's school district. Go Scorpions! (The web address is floating around somewhere out there if you're interested in the Big Rico's Sell-A-Slice fundraiser for new marching band uniforms!)

Good Morning Night Vale - Great recaps of episodes and the cast are just...abolsute goblins. Very feel-good. Good for my soul, good for yours, good for the All Mighty Glow Cloud's - all hail ❤

The Two Princes - Absolutely lovely. Short, dynamic, and absolutely charming. I listened to this one a while back and don't remember much except a totally relateable main character, a cursed forest -- also lots of gayness and a flying ship. Beauty and grace.

The Orbiting Human Circus - Strange. Very Pan's Labyrinth in the realm of, "reality?" I love the music and the old-timey feel. Still picking my way through the Naughty Till New Year's collection, but I'm a sucker for the stories they bring to the table.

The Magnus Archives - I cried a bunch. Made art. It's beautiful. The only smart man in this podcast is Joshua Gillespie. Amen to my man with all the braincells who said, "Put the key in a bowl of water and freeze it." I, of course, picked all of the stupid people as my favorites and all of them are dead. Except one.

Marsfall - Just started this one. Chaos. Amazing imagery. Also ANDI - I'd die for that sweet boy. And for some reason it just makes me think of Starkid's Starship? Bc like, it's detrimental AND campy. Excellent.
