♥ it’s time to spread your podcast palette ♥
With a whole summer to spend collecting seashells and collecting new sounds from the likes of ambitious independent artists, we finally get a chance to cuddle up like a stray fly in a cobweb in the early weeks of October.
Grab your ham radio, dawn your best mask, and get infinite before Halloween comes because today PodCake has more than the average horror story to keep you cool and creepy.
Looking for something fresh to please that sudden thirst for audio storytelling? Look no further as PodCake has six more podcasts you’ll certainly love.
A sci-fi mystery/horror about a science project with dark secrets, a biochemist with melancholic tendencies, and the mysterious notes of a lost scientist, set on research cruise several hundred miles away from land. Also featuring: corporate espionage, loss, morality, and close encounters of the eldritch kind.
In what seems to be an ongoing trend of aquatic themed mystery shows, alongside the likes of The Bridge and Passage, comes Station to Station that has been lovingly provided by the Procyon Podcast Network who are pulling out all the stops in this surprisingly rich and psychological romp that isn’t afraid to kick start things in an impressive first episode.
Fans of methodically intelligent shows such Ars Paradoxica are bound to get wrapped up in Station to Station’s smart writing and unashamedly scientific approach to things. Wear your floaties for this one because it will hit you with a big splash.
A sci-fi audio drama delivered as a first hand account from the eyes of Joseph Crane, Humanity’s ‘last historian’, as he attempts to chronicle their survival in rolling cities known as The Collective, fleeing from a malicious entity only found in the darkside of the planet.
Here we are with a sci-fi story that has been massively overlooked, even by yours truly. In The Earth Collective, we focus on a self described “Mankind’s Last Historian” who is collecting recordings on what few Ancestor Satellites remain. But a returning threat might just bring the planet of Oasus to disaster.
Richly unique with a keen focus on survival, rebuilding society, and, above all, a certain looming eldritch threat as an antagonist that gives this show a certain Lovecraftian edge,The Earth Collective is a show well worth getting invested in.
A psychedelic noir audio drama podcast set in 1940s Los Angeles. Recently radio broadcasts in the city have been reduced to static, leaving a popular radio serial as the only remaining show on the air. Even then the show finds itself continuously interrupted by a mysterious broadcast. A lone distorted voice reaching out for help. Follow Walter “Troubles” Mix and his partner Whitney as they search for a missing writer and navigate through a city quickly falling into madness. Could the mysterious voice be the culprit? Will anyone be able to stop the madness from spreading? And… What’s The Frequency?
A new show making the rounds and piquing the intrigue of quite a few audio drama fans is the noir series What’s The Frequency? which focuses on a duo of detectives seeking out the lost voice behind the last source of radio entertainment in an alternative Los Angeles. Insanity ensues.
What’s The Frequency? is the trippy mystery show we’ve all been waiting for. It’s Juno Steel on ecstasy, it’s fun and freaky, and the kind of experimentation and bold story that will likely be making the rounds for sometime.
4. The Blood Crow Stories
The Blood Crow Stories is an anthology series of horror stories. Our first season highlights the story of the S.S. Utopia, a cruise ship in the early 1900’s. Modern-day college student, Max, begins to do his thesis on the audio diaries of the passengers on the ship. What he didn’t know were the horrors that were waiting for him among the tapes, and why the ship sank so mysteriously almost 100 years ago.
Tighten your best corset and slip on your plague doctor mask because we’re gonna take a voyage to the past with The Blood Crow Stories, one of the newest contenders in horror anthology audio drama.
Something bloody and beautiful awaits for those seeking out something a little more…vintage to keep their October nights exciting. So pour yourself a cocktail and tune into this one by candlelight because The Blood Crow Stories is something for those looking for something both delectably classy and creepy.
5. The After Disaster Broadcast
Jo Prendergast broadcasts on ham radio after only surviving the Yellowstone volcano erruption with luck. Her post-apocalyptic transmissions follow her as she finds survivors and a reason to go on.
In this new apocalypse story for the average survivalist, Jo Prendergast acts as our narrator in a devastated landscape short on survivors and sense. Bad pizza and crippling loneliness await for those looking for something early in episode numbers and ripe in potential for a promising first season.
With a nice blend of horror and comedy and heart, The After Disaster Broadcast paves the way for a series that will hang around for you even in the fading moments of a well deserved existential crisis.
A limited series fiction podcast revolving around an astronaut traveling through deep space.
One man alone in space, searching…Here we have The Infinite, a short but impressive sci-fi show consisting of only five episodes to date. Sometimes less and more and The Infinite provides an eerie and emotional ride for curious drifters.
It’s a pleasant combination of the Wolf 359 framework with a SAYER psychological horror edge for flavor. The Infinite is simple yet sinister and easy to breeze through with its tense but entertaining storytelling. I assure you’ll feel right at home.
