Audio Drama Sunday

Happy Sunday! I had the delight of attending an outdoor movie screening with my mutual yesterday, so I’m happy today : )

🪨 G.O.B.L.I.N.S — episode 8 - Romance, Railways, Explosive Decompression: firstly, that rap battle was so bad. Secondly, Elisar’s insult to the blue nudist and his steampunk fish was actually pretty iconic. Thirdly, Elizabeth saved the day again, with some provable character development and quick thinking! Also, the fact that she’s stopped having a crush on Elisar is kind of giving Chaptigone vibes.

🪕 The Reality Shaper — the Worst Ways to Die: The Top Ten Worst Ways to Die had me bopping along for like, two days. It’s just so catchy and terrifying! On the other hand, poor CB must spend a lot of time contemplating things that could kill them. Boris’s dad actually intimidated me this episode — which makes me feel validated for assuming he’d be evil.

🏛️ The Antique Shop — Episode 1 - The Meeting - Episode 4 - The Hounds: what a gently spooky series! I listened to most of this while making crane origami, and I really liked the mystical characters and magical stories. Big, evil dogs aren’t exactly soothing, but hearing the protagonist describe them is still a relaxing experience.

Audio Dramas to Play Before Sleeping

A bit of calming audio can be the best thing to send you to sleep at night. If you live in a loud area, if you have tinnitus or if you want

For all the people who like to listen to audio dramas as they wind down, these five are great. Objectively, in terms of actual sound effects and plot, number two is the most useful… but the other ones are pretty chilled out and soothing. I’m talking:

⭐️ slow narrators who could make the phone book sound interesting

⭐️ not many voices to remember

⭐️ characters who’re almost always calm, even if events get spooky, and

⭐️ quiet music and low-key sound effects

Got really into fiction podcasts this year thanks to a certain friend (thanks dude!) and I've gotta say, the modern horror podcast scene is bloody incredible. It's one thing to read a character's fear, another to hear it in their voice -- their screams.

Favourites so far:

Malevolent. Might genuinely be my favourite horror show. Like. Ever. Every season is fresh. Six seasons held my attention with ease. I cried during each of the final five episodes. PEAK.

You are the Ghost in This House. The yearning this show instils. The subtle build up to the psychological madness at the heart of Aspenwood Manor. It's a seesaw of queer joy and unflinching annihilation.

The Silt Verses. I'm only five episodes in and it's already a masterpiece of horror worldbuilding. The body horror is worthy of a Bosch painting. I could listen to Carpenter monologue about evil gods (and why they're great, actually) for hours.

I have a list of similar shows to start once I've consumed Silt Verses. Feel free to chuck more at me.
