LGBT+ Audio Drama Recs for Pride (and all year long)

Neighbourly

The Dead Letter Office of Somewhere, Ohio

The Heart of Ether

WOE.BEGONE

Aurora Everlasting

Where the Stars Fell

The Silt Verses

The Pasithea Powder

The Virdian Wild

Station Arcadia

Hello from the Hallowoods

The Night Post

Neighbourly - A narrative anthology about the residents of Little Street, where strange and sinister things happen behind closed doors. Lovely writing and narration, often heartwarming and chilling at the same time. The stories frequently feature lgbt characters.

The Dead Letter Office of Somewhere, Ohio - Conway of the DLO archives weird letters and investigates supernatural items. A narrative anthology with an ongoing metaplot, scary and hilarious by turns. Great music, too!

The Heart of Ether - Irene is trying to move past the disappearance of her girlfriend, but there's something odd going on in the small town she's moved to. A full-cast serial of mystery and wlw longing, with lots of loveable and intriguing side characters.

WOE.BEGONE - Mike Walters plays a brutal game of self-mutilation and murder, seeking to acquire the game's reality-altering technology for himself. Clever and darkly humorous. A serial narrative with mlm protagonist and lots of original music.

Spirit Box Radio - Though he has no magical aptitude himself, Sam Enfield takes over his favorite mystical radio show. This broadcast-style serial is full of mystery and intrigue, as Sam seeks to uncover the secret of his birthright.

Aurora Everlasting - After their centuries-long colonization mission has gone horribly awry, the crew must unravel a time-travel plot to escape the mysterious entity pursuing them. Features nb and wlw main characters.

Where the Stars Fell - One was a cryptozoologist. One was a fantasy writer and skeptic. Can I make it any more obvious? In this full-cast serial, two women with seemingly irreconcilable differences must share a house and a small town full of odd happenings.

The Silt Verses - In a world where brutal gods are created by the government and corporations, followers of an outlawed river god search for revelations. A full-cast serial with a heavy emphasis on body and existential horror, following an aspec protagonist.

The Pasithea Powder - A military pilot and a scientist, once friends, must deal with the fallout of their actions during an interplanetary war. A narrative serial told through voicemails, in which the women slowly rekindle old feelings.

The Viridian Wild - Go on safari with Sebastian, your enthusiastic guide to the world of fae. In each episode, the mlm protagonist describes and interacts with a variety of magical creatures in the wild. A relaxing and immersive experience.

Station Arcadia - A combination of scenes and narrative passages examine four different societies in a world on the brink of collapse. Still, there's always hope. Arcpod includes lgbt protagonists and side characters of all kinds.

Monstrous Agonies - A write-in advice show for creatures of the night. The narrator gives empathetic, practical suggestions for any problem that magical and monstrous people might encounter. A soothing listen for your queer little heart.

Hello from the Hallowoods - An nb eldritch narrator delivers tales from the dark woods directly to your dreams. This narrative anthology features several stories per episode, with some recurring characters, most of whom are lgbt.

The Night Post - A full-cast serial with some narrative segments, following the conscripted couriers of a supernatural frontier. As they search for Milo's missing husband, the couriers uncover secrets far bigger than the shadowy organization that chose them. Features wlw, mlm, and trans protagonists. (I help make this one.)

So I’ve been busy with bad podcast cover requests over on twitter too

Here’s a few of my favorites from this weekend

[abagofwormss]

hi, ive just remade a tumblr so looking for new friends and recommendations. does anyone have any sci fi or futuristic audio drama recommendations with subtly queer or trans characters? i don't really want the story to be about their quietness and it doesn't have to have romance, but i do want at least a few queer/trans characters.

putting this in the tags of some shows i like!

If You Support Indie Podcasts

Know that every post, scrap of fanart, and mention to a friend means a LOT.  When you join the fandom for a big show, you’re adding to a sea of existing content, but when you show love for a brand-new one, you might literally be the first fan artist, cosplayer, fan fiction writer.    That matters so much to small creators, and knowing that someone is out there listening gives us the encouragement we need to keep crafting these stories.  You are, quite literally, the reason why the show goes on. You should know that we appreciate you, and that it DOES make a difference. 🖤
