Me gritting my teeth every time one of my brilliant, creative friends introduces a mysterious character known only as The Curator before I have a chance to introduce MY mysterious character known only as The Curator a couple seasons from now.

We're officially waaaay past the two nickels threshold, the podcasters yearn for morally ambiguous museum staff it seems.

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

i keep using 'blorbo' to refer to my own OCs to the point i forget its supposed to be a fandom term. yeah i know blorbo from my shows. and those shows? only airing inside my own brain and the dms of a few lucky friends, baby.

[faultstitchpod]

Nearly all blorbos are characters, but not all characters are blorbo, you understand?

Blorbos are by some definition, characters you A) care about B) want to see put in situations™️

The fact that I made these blorbos at home, and that I am the one putting them in situations™️ does not factor into their status as blorbos

Their blorboness

Their blorbossity

.....you understand

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."

--Adam Savage

Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World by Virginia Postrel go into excellent detail on the technological wonders inherent in, and developed by and for, such "women's arts" as spinning, weaving, dyeing, knitting, and sewing, and just how much of the underpinnings of modern society, industry, science, and economy exist because of them.

⚠️ Warning: if you are a SMALL audio drama with TINY MINISCULE FANDOM you are NOT SAFE because we WILL MAKE FANART...

[luvnotpercival]

looking at the tags i love that ive already found some small podcasts

[faultstitchpod]

Ngl, one of the main reasons we started this project was the dream that oneday there'd be fanart of stuff that previously only existed in our heads. Now that it's happening, it's kinda surreal.

[krystal-prisms]

A lot of the time I forget that people make and listen to podcasts about normal things. Like just talking. And not a middle aged man experiencing The Horrors. Or gay people experiencing The Horrors. They just listen to people Talking about Stuff. Wild.

Over the years I've seen a lot of people lament that they'd like to try podcast voice acting but they have a speech impediment or the "wrong" accent for it or sound too "noticably trans" or suchlike and this is a shame because these are very often my favourite voices to hear.

[boombox-fuckboy]

"I want to but nobody would want to hear me because I [haven't done voice training/have flat affect/stutter/have a strong accent/damaged my voice/haven't started T/have tourettes/don't think I sound very cool/etc.]" Are all sentiments I've heard before. But not only are unique voices so much easier to pick out of a cast, you sound like real people I care about. It makes me happy.

[boombox-fuckboy]

"This but not me because [...]

If this doesn't end with "I don't want to", you are incorrect. This, including you.

[faultstitchpod]

Shocking, people who are into a primarily audio medium have a deep appreciation for the human voice in all its infinite varieties, who knew?

Fault & Stitchery is a gaslamp fantasy about memory, regret, and the choices you don't want to make. Follow Festus, a tailor of thoughts as well as threads, as they unravel a conspiracy that threatens to destroy their home - a city where the buildings walk, the party never stops, and the edges of reality are beginning to crack. If you're a fan of magic, mystery, and mutual pining, this audio drama is for you. You'll want to explore every inch of its vivid world as Festus and their unseen guide lead you from one tangled thread to the next. Listen now wherever stories are told.

In my ongoing obsession with an aesthetic I'm convinced is totally real and definitely exists as a serious concept, I'm compiling shows that fit under the AudioMeat umbrella - early examples were shows like Spines and Mirrors, which gleefully played with body horror and sound design to get more gruesome than you might be able to on a limited budget in the visual mediums of film and TV. @thegospelofhaven is one that I've labeled as such and will not back down under any circumstances, as is @freshmeatcast. I think the qualities of an AudioMeat production are:

1. A use of body horror not as disgusting but as awe inspiring; an alignment with the weird over the frightening

2. Use of "squishy" or "gross" sounds to complement anatomical imagery

3. A matter-of-fact presentation of extreme imagery which serves to alienate the listener from ideas of a "clean" and "separate" body

Bonus points for tongue-in-cheek mentions of meat or flesh within the writing itself

[macabremezzo]

Every day I find a new audiomeat post and I love every single one of them. Hashtag Too Beef Blessed to Be Stressed

[podkeeper]

I just noticed I can definitely make a map of recommendations out of it. So many meat podcasts: The Silt Verses, I am in Eskew, Out of Place (the entire second season), Thirst, Neighbourly def had its moments.

I could go on

[podkeeper]

So I indeed could be going on and here is my result

thanks for @shelterwoodpod for planting the idea on my head

[thegospelofhaven]

The audiomeat family tree is growing... with fleshy, pulsing branches and heavy veiny fruit

[faultstitchpod]

Does living clay count as meat? 🤔 If so we've got it in spades, specifically:

Buildings that grow wild and hungry after a few generations that need to be staked in place

A city's water supply pumped by an network of wagon sized hearts

Formless horrors dredged from the depths of the river

Symbiotic clay limbs

Fortresses that crawl along like snails

And a half feral mug that lets drinks go cold SPECIFICALLY to spite our main character

(And that's BEFORE we get into any of the other body warping magics we've got going on)
