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.

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.

[thehistoryone]

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

A GHOST THAT LISTENS TO PODCASTS I LOVE THEM

[danielpowell]

"I can’t imagine anything worse than slowly losing your grip on the universe."

I have an affinity for ghosts in fiction and Dimple from MP100 actually knows exactly how this feels and I'm curious if the spirits in this podcast can potentially bounce back from it like he has

[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

[bekabloodhound]

For my final zine, a @tellnotalespod tribute!

[tellnotalespod]

Happy trans day of visibility! This day is actually quite a big deal bc it means all trans ghosts become visible for the day. Inter-planar physicians and paranormal theologists alike are stumped by it. Be sure to keep an eye out if you’ve been getting strange chills recently!

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! I listened to a few things this week (gushing and spoilers ahead):

@woodenovercoats S4: You know it's going to be a good season when it's already got me tearing up in the third episode! Madeline and her family!! 😭 Madeline and Rudyard besties! 🥰 I absolutely loved seeing Antigone continue to grow this season. She just wanted to be seen, to know she was strong enough to be seen, and she was!! We also got to hear Rudyard give more time to his life outside the funeral home, particularly his special interest in history! We finally got Chapman's backstory! Heartbreaking though. 💔 Holy shit that sound design when Chapman and Rudyard go over the falls was *chef's kiss*. My first thought re: the Funns running Chapman's was "Oh lord, how is Rudyard going to F this up?" It was really nice to hear them actually properly put on a funeral like we knew they could. Throughout the season, we heard Eric and Antigone grow closer and some feelings start to develop there. Then hearing Eric calling out for Antigone in his dream was...whew. "Sorry about the chloroform." 😂 Georgie's cycle of grief is so real. It hits you at the most unexpected moments. They're a town!!!! And of course he came back, he's home!!!!! This ending is so perfect, so absolutely satisfying. This show was incredible ♥️

@midstpodcast S1: I've been seeing so much about this show in my feed lately as its third and final season released, so I just had to jump into it. And wow am I hooked! The way the narrators share the story and the character voices between them is fascinating. The world building is absolutely incredible - the visual they painted of the fold sweeping through is just chilling. Combine that with the actual visual elements created by the podcast, seen in the YouTube videos...so so cool. Side note - I hate the Trust; the way that its systems ensure that those at the bottom are kept down, rewarding those already at the top...kudos to another podcast where one of the villains is capitalism. In any case, I was so absorbed in the stories of each of the three protagonists, trying to see ahead to how their lives would intersect, I almost forgot about the very first scene! The moon falls out of the sky!! Absolutely wild!! I'm very much looking forward to learning more about the consequences of this and the impact on Midst.

@midnightburgr Welcome to the Horizon Part 3 - The Wayfaring Stranger: God I love this town and these people. I laughed out loud so many times this episode! Frank and June's reactions to Verge's background are hilarious. I'm so glad we have Verge in this mini-series. It's also so fun to hear them flirting with Deirdre, especially after hearing their VAs as not so friendly in Moonbase Theta, Out (love you Cat and Tina). The news that we get from Trinkett about the comet is verrry interesting and concerning, so looking forward to seeing where that goes.

@tellnotalespod S1 & S2 (to date) re-listen: TNT is currently on their mid season break, so I re-listened to everything that's been released so far. I said earlier this season that it was going to be tough listening to all the S2 episodes in a row since many of them made me cry individually...and I was right! 😭 I am so looking forward to the rest of S2, and I really hope Leo, Riley and Julia all get the hugs they need, preferably from each other.

@storiesfromylelmore Winter Solstice crowdfunding episode: I love hearing the kids out and up to their shenanigans! It was also really sweet to get a glimpse of the parents doing their thing, but also loving all the kids (even though Elas can sometimes be puce). I also loved hearing more about their world's Winter Solstice story! The worldbuilding is so fantastic.

@hinaypod Episode 41 - Danny Boy (Pride Episode 2024): I'm glad I listened to this one during the day because I definitely would have gotten creeped out by some of the curse's descriptions if I'd listened at 2AM, as I sometimes do. We got quite lore dump on our favourite horrible old man, but I still have so many questions!!

[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.
