Happy Audio Drama Sunday! I hope everyone is keeping safe from the various storms this weekend - up here we're getting up to 10cm of freezing rain, so I'll be keeping indoors. And now a short ADS from me this week.

@thefringespod S3: This season dealt a lot with the guilt that Silver was feeling over Min's actions. All those emotions were especially amplified by how Min was specifically targeting those closest to Sil. I'm so glad he was able to visit the plane of magic, to see their mom, then meet Melinoe, Leanne, CL... It was both heartbreaking and heart warming. And then Mari's Xander?! Definite tears that episode. I was very worried for Sil when he went with Min, especially with how merciless Min was being when manipulating his memories. Thankfully for them, their family and Whim were there to bring him home. ✨

@forgedbondspod Mini Series - Episode 1: I am very curious to hear where this mini series goes! I know the general Arachne and Athena myth, but this series takes us beyond that time. I'm 100% on board with Arachne's suspicion of Athena, and love that she's not afraid to speak her mind! 🕷️

This week my brain wanted to listen to some more familiar things, so I also spent time listening to episodes of @pasitheapowder (particularly those relevant to the Pasithea Pandemonium bracket tournament), @tellnotalespod, and @midnightburgr. I re-listened to the entire Welcome to the Horizon mini series, I love those characters and the town of Hood's Pocket so much! 🏔️

[xilo-core]

[skyfullofpods]

It’s Pride Month! How about a podcast with queer people, ghosts, and queer ghosts? @tellnotalespod has quickly become one of my favourite podcasts, after I discovered it a few months ago.

Don't mind me just going insane over @tellnotalespod again. I swear the GRIP this podcast has on me rn is so strong lol. I just love myself some gay ghosts y'know

[salmoon-blog]

A few sleepless nights in a row (it's too damn hot), so l've re-listened @tellnotalespod again & this horrid thing has been created

My art skills are nonexistent (I much more prefer writing) but I just had to try drawing Frank, thanks to Asher being brilliant

[magnetarmadda]

@tellnotalespod closing: “and remember, the dead don’t bite”

me after every episode: but i do

[pod-bird]

A GHOST THAT LISTENS TO PODCASTS I LOVE THEM

[probsnothawkeye]

Okay let's talk about the new episode of @tellnotalespod because AHHHHHHHHH

This show truly doesn't miss

Some spoilers below! You have been warned!!

Yes I know Leo did this to themself by signing this deal and cutting Riley and Julia out of this to protect the two of them but also LEO MY POOR BABY!!!! I love Leo a normal amount and I am both shaking them for their stupidity and squeezing them to chase away the loneliness

I'm obsessed with Frank. He's like if Elias Bouchard actually cared. He's smarmy and terrible and in contact with the supernatural but also he just wants Leo to take care of themself and didn't want them to isolate themself from the jump. Will he betray me? Almost certainly. But for now I'm obsessed.

Aaliyah was such a lovely ghost and also made me so sad 😭 I too would haunt an area that would let me travel to all of my support systems were I a ghost (catch me haunting O'Hare International Airport when I die) Michelle Kelly always does a wonderful job at pulling at my heartstrings and this performance was no different. Same with Leanne Egan, they always know how to voice things in just the right way to make me cry at my desk

Tell No Tales is an absolutely lovely show that answers the question "what if the ghostbusters had a sense of ethics". I adore it and can't wait to see what comes from the rest of the season since it's already off to such a wonderful start

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! I wasn't able to put together a post last week so this week you're getting a double dose.

@tellnotalespod S2 E14 - Fixing Things: I'm with Leo and being concerned about Riley. I'm glad they ended up talking things out, in the way that only friends of 20 years can do: incredibly bluntly. The talk with Mickey was what Leo needed, but now I'm also concerned about her and all the other ghosts we've met! They really need to figure out this deteriorating spirit plane thing...

Tell No Tales S2 E15 - Crafting Universes: If S2 E2 was a love letter to audio drama, this episode felt like a love letter to D&D.

"...with the right people, you and your friends are making entire worlds unfold at the table. . . five of the people you love most in the world are sat at the table with you, telling stories of their own, with goals and motivations of their own. . . if everyone there has that trust in each other, then the table fades away entirely, and by the end you’ve crafted a universe together."

Also, I've been saying all season that Julia would be such a great asset to their research, and I'm glad to be proven right!

@proserpinapark S2 & S3: It was so fun hearing Alina, Drew, and Jun learn more about the park and the creatures within, as well as listen to Dog struggle to keep them safe. I'd heard of some of the creatures and myths, but I learned about so many more! It was also great to hear more from Mirai and what's going on with her and her trek to find her other brother. I have so many questions about the park, how they're going to save it, what happened to the other Jun, where has Mirai gone off to...I can't wait for the next season to start up!

@monkeymanproductions's Moonbase Theta, Out - Phases: The MTO world continues to live on through short stories on Patreon. July's story gave us some insight into the origins of an absolutely beloved character, Moddy Sarah. Deej proves once again that they belong in feelings jail as this story made me cry. If you're like me and you want to live with the MTO characters a little longer, their Patreon with these short stories is the place to be.

@midnightburgr's Welcome to the Horizon Part 4: The Recluse: I go into every Horizon episode wondering what weird stuff we're getting this time, and this episode did not disappoint. The fungi! I like how June is thinking outside the box and getting Verge's (and Eldin's) help. I am concerned about Frank running in with no mask, even though Eldin said he thought he would be fine. I also like seeing the other town members starting to come together over these weird things, like Flat Doug comforting Trinkett at the end. This mini-series contributes to be hilarious and intriguing.

@vestaclinicpod: I needed something comforting to listen to at the end of this week, so I did a re-listen of The Vesta Clinic. There are so many things I love about this show: how compassionate it is, the rapport between the docs (yes, Sec counts here), the absolute creativity in the world building and patient cases... I can't wait for S2, hearing more from the other docs and clinic team members, finding out more about what was up with the prof and what Sec asked Faye to help him with, and all of the captivating new patients.

7. Stephen Pritchard

[tellnotalespod]

I continue to be deeply sorry for the extended hiatus and incredibly grateful for everyone’s patience.

I know this isn’t exactly the most promising of updates from an outside perspective but last night I opened Reaper and stared at it like a wild animal being hunted for sport. And today I’m actually excited to open it again. So that’s something.

[skyfullofpods]

I also wrote about the brilliant @tellnotalespod this week! The story follows Leo, as they invent a device which records the voice of spirits the ghost removal company they work for has been asked to remove.
