My Podcast stats !! @willis-and-the-lost-whimsy
(Colours are just what I’ve associated with them)
The Magnus Archives — I think this one took me half a year? Probably more? I remember I got my ex into it in 2024 and I was just wrapping up season 5 around that time.
Welcome to Night Vale — This one took slightly longer. I think eight or so months. I remember it getting me through some Life Times ™️.
Scp: Find Us Alive — A friend recommended me this one !! This one took me about 2 weeks. If you like SCPs, this one is really good. It’s currently ongoing and Anna Maguire has done such a good job with the writing. Don’t get too attached to Harley’s original VA, he gets a new one a little after the start.
Malevolent — Everyone’s favourite toxic codependency podcast !! Three weeks? Maybe? I listened in summer 2024, right before school started. I remember since I got one of my friends at school into it.
The Deca Tapes — A single day. When I first started it, it was only 8 episodes (which bugged me since Deca is TEN. But I digress). It got a second season which just ended a little while ago !!
Stellar Firma — My first comedy one !! It was very silly hearing Elias’ VA be the voice of reason. I couldn’t tell it was him at first tbh. This one was about a month and a half.
Sherlock & Co. — I actually got an anon ask about this one. If I ever say “I’m so Sherlock Holmes”, I’m talking about this version. It’s Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century !! Also ongoing, took two weeks? Possible? The Sign of Four had just started when I caught up.
The Grotto — CAVE NECROMANCYYYYYY !! It took about a month? Maybe a little less? My brother told me about this one. This is why my nickname is Matt. Love love loveeee this podcast, I need to relisten again.
Red Valley — I need to give Warren a hug. This one took two months. I absolutely hate/love Clive Shill. I also absolutely love how Red Valley humanises their characters without diminishing how shitty they are
The Bright Sessions — I loved the original 4 seasons, bonus episodes and AM Archives. 75/25 on College Tapes. I think three months? I remember crying over Damien. He is such a bastard.
Camp Here & There — I actually started this because of Will Wood. Finished in like 3 days? About to relisten to it along with season 2. I cried over Sydney.
The Silt Verses — Love love loveeeeeeeee. This one was 2-3 months? Carpenter, ml, my absolute everything, I love her. Faulkner is very me, I love him as well !! I love everything and everyone, actually. I got really into Faulkner and Carpenter’s dynamic, doomed found siblings hold my heart so so much </3
The Penumbra Podcast — My brother can attest to how much I loved the ending. Both Juno Steel and Second Citadel will hold dear to me, forever. I listened to this one sorta side by side with Silt Verses so it took around the same time !! I’m currently listening to THIRST as it comes out and I like it so far !!
Hymns for the Road — Anna Maguire strikes again. I listened to this one as it came out but during relistens it’s usually 1-2 days. Glass hurts to think about (they’re me).
The Edge of Sleep — A week? The same friend that recommended me FUA recommended me this one. As someone who has trouble sleeping, I felt seen.
The Misthlehome Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality — Uhhh 2 weeks. I think. I remember listening to it during Winter Break last year. I loved it very much. I thought it was very much like tma until s2 starts and then it’s like. woah. yk?
Yokai Detective Agency — Ink recommended this one and I’m gonna be 100%… I didn’t think I’d actually like it. I believe there’s texts of me telling my brother “It hasn’t rlly hooked me yet…” but i’m glad I stuck around. Took me two days !!
Dead West — Both Ink and my brother recommend me this one !! Paranormal cowboys that took me all of a day. Episode release is sporadic but I do very much like it.
Soul Operator — Thanks to my brother for recommending me this !! It took me 11 days exactly. I highly recommend this and loved the format for it !! It’s inspired by a single player ttrpg, if I remember correctly.
Tower 4 — This one took me two weeks. I listened during some Life Times so I don’t remember much, apart from the fact I enjoyed it !!
WitherBurn After School News — A week. So much happens in such a short span of time. I finished in school and had to stare at my paper for like. 20 minutes. The Reporter makes me happy, I wanna be their friend.
Archive 81 — The friend I got into Malevolent? She got me into this one !! This one took about a month? I really like how each season is technically its own thing. Season 3 was my favourite by far, I really liked the bond between Chris and Nicholas.
The Cellar Letters — Another rec by my brother. This one took five days !! I highly recommend it. I’m Steve but younger. I love it. I’m bouncing off the walls for it. I just finished it. I need answers.
