Audio Drama Sunday - 22nd December ✨

I have been SO ill this week oh my god, I can’t even express how much hands this virus has 🤧 Thank you to all the shows who have kept me company this week!

🌲 @hellofromthehallowoods (178) Olivier!!!! Oh, it is breaking my HEART that his parents essentially pulled him out and dropped him in bloody France with no more power and no way of finding out what happened to the rest of the expedition. He doesn’t even know about Riot 😭 Also, I wish the gang had just been told the truth about that chapel because, my god, if it’s not Marco that goes wandering in there, it’s definitely going to be Hope!! Eek, Cole, man!!! You are not showing that you understand any of the principles that made Clem a good detective!! She had a process and a Shelby and years of practice!! You, sir, are going to fuck this up! We obviously now know for sure that Heather was one of the quartet and I feel like Ignatius is probably one because of the fire. Who knows! The game is still definitely afoot! 

🦋 @remnantspod (20) I was warned that this episode would break my heart but did I heed that warning as I listened on my walk through the city centre? No. Did I pay the socially embarrassing price for that hubris? Maybe!! Pushing down the trauma of that remnant leads to some qs from me (please share if you have thoughts!!). We know that Stephen Grenville was just one of many names that the keystone character was using - do we know if the man in this remnant was the ‘original’ one or a ‘fake’ SG? I’m thinking about what he said about Celine’s paintings and her being unable to stop her own style peeking through, I didn’t catch a flash of the Perry/Stephen/Apprentice in this man. I feel like it would add such an interesting layer if the murderer we know about was stealing identities from nasty people. But maybe that's wishful thinking! Does it make the murdering better if there's a good reason?? Idk! No? I might need to dedicate myself to a relisten sometime soon! 

🎃 Waiting For October by @monkeymanproductions (2.5) Ah, Poe. I love that there are still people fond enough of him to listen to his story no matter how irritating he is generally! I am definitely not well read enough to catch all of the references to other authors and stories but I found his cawing belligerence amusing all the same!! I’m looking forward to what’s next for Karo and Yvonne! 

🎙️WTNV (260 - December Monologues) Such a great time of year. I love hearing from characters we don’t catch up with as much like the Faceless Old Woman. I don’t know what’s about to happen with Steve, but I am buckled in and ready to find out!! 

🍾 @ameliapodcast (39) Amelia and Alvina are just on a prison tour at this point! Sometimes there are quotes that you just need to immediately add to the mental bank and “I piss on your mother's grave and wipe my ass with your birth certificate!” is 100% one of them 😂

🧳 Travelling Light @monstrousproductions (Q+A part 2)  my three take away points from this second part of the Q+A were 1) complete gratitude that Hero and I are on the same page about Scarry (who will most certainly return in late S2 right?). 2) I am soooo intrigued about your vague references to Olí and the Traveller’s relationship in S2 AND 3) Matt, that impression was genuinely horrifying. Thank you. 

🌵 @desertskiespodcast (1-4) I have been putting off listening to Desert Skies for too long because I knew it would make me emotional. Until Leon @tellnotalespod very correctly told me that a few tears are so worth it for the rest of the experience of listening to the show. I’m only a few eps in but I absolutely adore the balance of humour and heartache. I’ve literally had these characters for 2 hours and I would already kill for them!!

Have a lovely week, everyone! The days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter!! 🫶

I'm back with a slightly-rebranded Audio Drama Sunday!

This week saw the return of @redvalleypod, a heartwarming episode of @mouseknightstudios's Ghost InSpectors, and shenanigans courtesy of Gabriel Urbina's writing stint on @worldgonewrongpod!

[espressonist]

Sigh.

I really don't want to do the doom scrolling thing today.

Anyone want to share head canons or ask me any questions about the characters I voice, and I'll reply with absolutely non canonical absolute truths, while we all ignore the impending doom for a day? (Unless it's Wilder or Yvonne, then we can argue it's possibly canon....🤣😅)

There are a few scattered bit parts and cameos here and there, and bonus points for those, but primarily, it's Wilder from Moonbase Theta Out, Yvonne in the upcoming Welcome to October, and Deidre in Midnight Burger/Welcome To The Horizon.

[bekaterrier]

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! This week made me happy because of all the Tina @espressonist content, found in this week's Midnight Burger episode as Deidre AND the premiere of Waiting For October as Yvonne!

@midnightburgr Welcome to the Horizon Part 7 - Double Deidre: Double Deidre is double the fun! I'm glad she had a chance to start talking things out with Verge - I'm really rooting for those kids! It was nice to hear Flat Doug be such a great help to June to try to solve things. Also Frank having a day off is so deserved, that man's stress levels are a mile high.

@monkeymanproductions Waiting For October S1 Prologue - Story Time: The first episode is finally here!!! I've been so excited for WFO to arrive (I've been w-waiting...waiting f-...waiting for October...😆) and it was worth the wait! The Prologue has given us a lovely look at Karo and Yvonne's relationship, and teased us a ton about all of the fantastic creatures and stories to come.

S1 Episode 1 - Pumpkin Patch: We've only met a few monsters so far but can I say, everyone was fantastic! I knew the show had a stacked cast, and man does it show! I NEED to know more about Karo's story (and everyone's, really). My reaction to Grey mentioning where they went to school was exactly the same as Yvonne's!

Residents of @proserpinapark Ep 39 - The Truth Revealed: It's the season 4 finale!! We finally got some answers about Junichi and learned more about the 3 (4?) wise monkeys! Things have been really set up for S5 and I can't wait for the gang to reunite and for Mirai's continued adventures with the Kitsune and Daichi.

@desertskiespodcast Desert Skies FM - Climb That Rock!: Nony's message was so true - it's important to say yes to the little version of you, to climb that rock or make googly faces. You and little you have to work together to rest your weary soul.

@octoberandfish October Jones and Fish With Legs S02E10 - You Only Shlorp Twice (Casamanta pt. 2): A high stakes gambling game! Noble arm (leg?) candy! An intimidating bodyguard! Clever disguises! All the elements you need for a heist attempt!

@starfallpod Act 1, Scene xv: So many things happening this episode! What is UP with these visions Leona is having? PTSD manifesting or is there a more sinister influence ? Hosse knowing all the lines and performing as Mariette the 4th was everything I didn't know I wanted! Also, go off Leona! You show that Keeper! (Sorry Fel, I know you don't agree.)

Happy Halloween everyone! We’ve got another chunky hour-long episode coming out tomorrow, but in the meantime, have a re-listen of our delightful season one Halloween special!

Shade Oyemakinwa, voice of our puppet master Koua, produced the most delightful little Halloween anthology, Hauntingly Humdrum:

And DJ Sylvis, voice of the ever note-seeking Glenn, just released the prologue of their brand new series, Waiting For October, about a whole world of monsters and living stories:

Plus, I’ve got a whole playlist of Halloween special episodes from other shows to keep the fun and scares going - so listen and a ver hallowed ween!

waiting for october, i opened my window today. a warm breeze touched my face. i'm waiting for october to love you more. you're gonna be surprised by the amount of change i'll go through everytime it gets colder and days become shorter. beginning to love you in july gives off a summer-love vibe: passionate yet short and unfaithful, an illicit-affair kind of love. in october, i'm gonna hold you tighter, bake you ginger cookies and get lost in your oversized sweater. in november, i'm gonna watch gilmore girls with you and walk with my hand in your pocket. in december, i'm gonna make you coffee-milk, wear the mittens that you bought me, put up christmas lights, dance around the kitchen with 'cowboy like me' and read you my favorite poems by j. keats and shakespeare.

i'm gonna love you more in october.

Autumn leaves are falling, filling up the streets; golden colors on the lawn, nature’s trick or treat!

Audio Drama Sunday - 10th November ✨

I found time to listen to a variety of shows this week and enjoyed them so much!!

🌲 @hellofromthehallowoods (172) AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! So many character returns this week!!! I don’t want to ruin the wonderful surprise by saying names but !!!! !!! !!!!!!!! We are SO BACK BABY. Also it was so interesting to more of an insight into how The Count’s powers work! … Does the Countess have this too?? 

🧳 Travelling Light @monstrousproductions (40) ohhh this season finale delivered everything I could have wanted 😭 I adored the Traveller / Óli reunion and the fact that they’re now going to travel together as I was so worried this was going to be goodbye and I don’t think my heart could have handled it. As an owner of green cord dungarees, let me tell you, I am feeling so smug in my fashion choices right now hehe. What a lovely farewell to the Tola and S1 - I can’t wait for more ❤️

🎙️WTNV (257) Such a fun episode, I always love hanging out with the men who are neither short nor tall. I also loved the return of the of the Kia Sportage joke - had to explain to my friends in a quiet cinema why I was giggling so much at the pre-film trailers when they were advertised the other week. 

🧋@hinaypod (22-23) Damn, what a story. I didn’t think that the Elders had truly been at war but it certainly seems that way!! Turning everyone you know into a puppet except your girl crush is wild behaviour 😭😂

🥾 @doyoucopypod (205-207) ooooof not the confessions of love right before a cave collapse - yikes. And Blair and Sarah never got to work it out ☹️

🍾 @ameliapodcast (33) Alvina backstory!!!!! I truly love her. I am Amelia, I see an insane woman and I just have to have her on the team. Every scene they’re in together makes me so happy and I kind of love that they’re in a cellar getting drunk while the Interviewer is in the air in a plane full of bugs. 

🌨️ @thewhitevault (12) This show continues to be SO good. I felt something off about the new Iffie immediately. Just thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine. Who/what is she?? 

🎃 Waiting For October by @monkeymanproductions (Prologue + 1) This is such a fun world already! I knew I’d love Charlene and she did not disappoint hehe. So fun to hear so many familiar voices again and I’m so excited to see where this tale leads! 

Have a lovely week, everyone!!

[skyfullofpods]

Happy audio drama Sunday, friends! I'm back! Here's a roundup of 16 fiction podcasts I listened to while my blog was on hiatus! My regular Sunday posts will resume next week!

Y'all.

Y'ALL.

Deej and Joe are making me work SO hard the past couple months. Some of the toughest stuff I've done, both technically and emotionally. And I'm thankful , because it absolutely feels like a level up.

But fuck, y'all.

All I can say is I'm sorry in advance. And it's (probably) gonna be okay.

I'm complicit in all the feelings jail crimes.

Waiting for October, from @monkeymanproductions , will be out soon! In October, actually!

And the new Welcome to the Horizon will be in the public @midnightburgr feed the first. 💕💕

[bekaterrier]

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! We've gotten our first dustings of snow here, but nothing staying permanently yet.

@ameliapodcast Season 2 + Episodes 23 & 24 - Live Shows: It was so interesting to hear the cases with the extra perspective of the MI5 agents. That is such a fun way to expand the story. Also to get more backstory on our Amelia team! The Rejects! The Italians! Cleo!! I'm nervous for them and what MI5/all the other agencies will do!

@midnightburgr Welcome to the Horizon Part 8 - The Green Man: Frank and Trinkett have such a fascinating relationship and I want to know more. This was such a great episode for that - road (hiking) trip time! More about whatever the heck is going on with Frank! We got to meet Tavrock Stormbringer!! Mungo!!!

Case Study IREC-A59 Episode 6 - Greyson and the Lieutenant: That was such a fascinating conversation between Greyson and Nuray! Hearing about the differences in body language and behaviour was very interesting, and I loved Nuray's explanation of his belief. It was also fun to hear how the crew looks to Greyson. I'm getting more and more curious about what happened to these humans.

@starfallpod - Fennel's Food Cart Episode 3 - Dungemmy, Krinos: These letters from Fennel are really adding to my Starfall spreadsheet and my understanding of how Falsten functions (or doesn't). It seems some places aren't working with a very free market...

@monkeymanproductions' Waiting For October S1 Episode 2 - The Woods: Karo and Vonnie end up spending more time in October than they meant to... It's interesting to see how quickly one can get caught up in a story in that world. We also got to meet some new monsters, and hear some of my favourite voices from MTO!
