Glasgow Ghost Stories Podcast

[boombox-fuckboy]

I must confess that I've never voted in audience-driven podcast awards, partly because I want to vote for every podcast I've ever heard.

In light of this, I'm inventing a new one I'm calling the Very Nice Podcast Award (VNPA). How it works is that if I listen to a podcast and enjoy it, or suggest it to someone else who does, it wins a VNPA. I understand this is a lot of authority to bestow upon myself but this way every podcast I like gets to win so I think it's okay.

It's an honor just to be nominated.

[boombox-fuckboy]

Why, you have long been a winner.

[boombox-fuckboy]

If you (reading this) are also a fiction podcast creator and wish to inquire about being a 2023 recipient of a totally 100% legit and prestigious Very Nice Podcast Award, simply mention your nomination (you are nominated by having an existing podcast)(this itself is a genuinely remarkable achievement) and you will be notified by our team (me) of the outcome in short order.

[boombox-fuckboy]

We are now presenting 2024 Very Nice Podcast Awards. The process for this 100% legit and prestigious award is the same as last year: simply mention your nomination (you are pre-nominated by having an existing podcast) and you will be notified of the outcome in short order.

The 16ft-tall hyper-realistic bird by artist Iván Argote will perch atop the Tenth Avenue plinth on the city’s famed High Line come October.

finally some good fucking news

If I had a nickel for every audio fiction podcast that started as an anthology before slowly weaving in an overarching narrative with heartfelt character growth, interactions, and maybe a little bit of gay as a treat… I’m not sure how many nickels I’d have but it’d be more than two.

[birdandmoon]

Because folks liked my latest pigeon comic so much, here's another pigeon piece!

I made this a couple years ago for a sadly now defunct publication called Pipe Wrench. I hope this piece helps spread more pigeon love.

[lalalalalemon]

Oh wow, I had no idea you had a Tumblr. I loved Glasgow Ghost Stories so much. Is there anything else besides it and Tracks you’re working on?

Thank you!

I'm working on a new show called Odd Seas right now. Hopefully I'll have some updates about it soon!

[boombox-fuckboy]

I really like the "what does your podcast taste like?" but it has me thinking...

Podcast creators: what's the optimal way to listen to your podcast? Out for a walk on a warm morning? Tucked up in bed with a hot chocolate on a rainy day? Maybe on surround-sound speakers with a bowl of fresh buttered popcorn? Halfway up an old tree?

Something else entirely?

[monstrousproductions]

Tucked up on the sofa with a blanket on your knees, a little cat purring beside you, and some knitting to keep you company. It's probably raining outside.

Walking around the city at all the locations in the podcast

Get your anthology podcasts! We got all sorts of genres for your ears!

[coldbrewmediareview]

Fellow podcast enjoyers don’t forget to leave star ratings for shows on whichever streaming service you use !

I just noticed today the Magnus archives has 5.0 stars on Spotify. I didn’t even know it was possible to get a rating that high in general.

We can promise that, and a lot of gay! (If we can get the time)

Audio drama ask meme: Creator edition

The last one was extremely fun, but I want this one to help people help promo their wonderful shows!

1. What stage of production is the most fun for you?

2. What’s a role in a different show you’ve heard one of your cast members in and just been absolutely blown away by?

3. Show us an excerpt of script you’re extremely proud of.

4. Is there a specific episode that was especially fun to work on?

5. Be honest, which is your favourite character to write lines for?

6. You have to turn your podcast into a different type of media: what do you go for?

7. Tag a show you think would make a great crossover with your own (and maybe make it happen, who knows 👀)

8. Pick a character from your show and put together an outfit you think they’d wear.

9. If your show was a different genre what genre would it be and how would the plot change?

10. Recommend a couple of other shows for people who like your own!

11. Share a fun bts fact people might not know.

12. Share something about a future episode that will mean nothing right now but will one day.

13. What’s your favourite portion of sound design from the show?

14. Share a show meme.

15. Are you working on anything else outside of this show?

16. Briefly outline your process for making a season happen.

17. What’s something that inspired your show?

18. What’s something you’d like the audience to take away from your show?

19. Do you have any playlists/music you listen to while working on production?

20. What’s a moment from the show that just absolutely took your breath away when you heard it come together for the first time?

As always, please reblog, share, and enjoy! No need to send asks!

I've been listening to Glasgow Ghost Stories and it's so sweet and also clever and good <3

I was hooked by the actually-unnerving horror/ghost writing in the first few episodes, and how short the episodes were. And then I found myself getting genuinely attached to the ghosts and the story itself. Highly recommend~

[glasgowghoststories]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, I hope you like Tracks too!

[iamthepulta]

I just finished Tracks! The writing was absolutely stellar! I loved the buildup from the first episode going into the wilderness all the way to the descriptions of the Creature. I got chills (I think it was the 4th episode...?) when the soldier dies and the protagonist comforts him (and honestly that whole episode from start to finish.)

Your pacing, descriptions of events/people/creepy occurrences, and sense of character hooked me all the way to the end. I actually wrote a little Spotify review for the Tracks episode that hit me the hardest. Keep up the awesome writing!

[glasgowghoststories]

Thank you! This has made my day omg 😭

Found footage/horror/liminal space photo series but they're all just photos of the inside of your house (you didn't take them and don't know who did, trying to track the source of the images leads to a cancelled account and no further leads). The house looks how it does every day. All the comments are saying shit like "soooo creepy" and "this is the most desolate building I've ever seen" and "is this some kind of military base? Did you break in?" and "haunted ass asylum". In one photo, people are freaking out especially hard. "Left corner. LEFT CORNER." "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT THING???" "DUDE GET OUT OF THERE NOW." The 'thing' is you at the edge of the frame, sitting on the couch using your phone. You don't remember anyone taking this photo.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#derin how do you even come up with these ideas?

There's something wrong with me. Hope this helps.
