It’s coming up to Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re planning the perfect date night with your SO, or planning a relaxed evening solo, it’s the
If you’ve listened to one too many horror podcasts recently, here’s a list of 13 audio dramas that are a bit more relaxed. You might have heard of some of these (Me and AU, Life With Leo(h), New Year’s Day), but some of these sweet, funny, uplifting stories are seriously underrated.
✒️ When their staged ghost hunter investigations lead them to the mysterious Van Buren Manor, the so-called “Spirit Sleuths” must confront their first real haunting. Trapped inside, their only hope of survival is to unravel a long-buried mystery and stop the manor’s vengeful Matriarch from carrying out a dark plot a century in the making— one that may cut closer to home than they ever imagined.
📅 Premieres Wednesday, October 8th with TWO episodes at launch— then new episodes every Wednesday morning (8 total)!
🎧 Listen WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS (Apple, Spotify, Amazon, etc).
🎥 Trailer dropping this Wed, Oct 1st! So stay tuned right here and follow @AugustYearRoundProd for all the haunting updates on our latest fiction podcast and more.
This show is a labor of love from an incredible cast and team. We can’t wait for you to step inside the manor with us… if you dare. 🖤
with my memory being in category of “it is what it is” and being unable to stick to any king of schedule, maybe I should try to do daily wrap up but with pods I’ve listened that day
hm let’s try with today(april 12th)
- Broken Hearted Monsters ep5 (Neon Inkwell): finally finished. Meeting Carmilla was very fun but also The Pure Toxicity of Frankenstein’s family? wow, just wow. Those guys would benefit from one(1) kindergarten level book about listening to others. They inventing new levels of being bad at family
- The Gospel of Haven ep2-3: ooh different POVs of same events, my beloved. I wonder how and why this community decided to live inside of their god’s body. How is it outside of Leviathan? Also seeing some parallels with Tales from The Low City. similar but also very different way of people living there deal with a whole👀thing👀
- Fresh Meat ep1-2: got random shout out from previous one and decided not check it. It did not disappoint. Classic Creature Feature found footage where you probably know how it will end but the road there is also very interesting. Even wet meat noises🤢 didn’t stop me
- Sected s2ep6: THOSE GUYS. No words, no notes, i actually laughed at Handa’s new shop name. Not spoiling that one it deserves to be heard in the wild. All I can say is main characters decided to run two(2) businesses from a garage to get a rent money. It went the way you can expect from those lunatics
- Travelling Light ep42: main character need some RnR in the middle of RnR, poor thing. I enjoyed fashion show and also that random astronomers outlook on life. Felt very relaxing
- Project Gnosis ep5: aka kinkshame interrogations episode😂😂. I uuh, can’t describe. Just listen
- Moonburn ep9: the gang trying to recover after of them had to move out back home. I love love love Sadie, she’s the worst and also best. I would watch reality show just about her life, what an indescribable creature
- Mercy ep 1-2: I knew I would love “a queer eldrich western” and wouldn’t you know it, I do, a lot. it does need its own post though
- A Bird For a Heart 1-6: similarly, I need to finish two more episodes and formulate my thoughts about it. Good fantasy show though
Alex had seen the guy around campus, sure. He was hard to miss, but Alex never said out loud why. For everyone else, being the son of the famous James Bond actor made him a celebrity enough.
But for Alex, Henry Fox just…stood out.
[non-royal au. University au. Cool guy x nerd trope.]
All Over Again (finished)
Alex and Henry's first kiss goes a little differently.
[one shot. Canon-divergence. New Year's kiss.]
Salt Follows the Moon (unfinished)
Vampires exist, and it's no secret.
What is a secret, is that Henry Hanover-Stuart Windsor needs a blood donor.
Alex Claremont-Diaz just can't leave well enough alone.
[vampire!Henry x blood donor!Alex. Canon-divergence.]
Moonburn (unfinished)
Alex Claremont-Diaz is everything a wolf should be. Tall, long-limbed, strong, and most of all: charismatic. Community and pack oriented. Some would also say he’s loud, overeager, and has his head up the moon’s ass.
Again: werewolf. It’s like blaming water for being wet.
As for Henry Hanover-Stuart Windsor Fox…his mother is a wolf. She comes from a long and prestigious line—many lines—of wolves. She fell in love with a human. Despite the initial shock and disdain for marrying outside of tradition, having two children born as healthy, strong wolves calmed several of the loudest, bigoted voices.
And then Henry came along. The youngest. The favorite. The human. But nobody else knows that last part.
[werewolf!Alex x human!Henry. Canon-divergence.]
Satellites (unfinished)
Alex is in England for a year studying abroad. To his both relieved and annoyed surprise, the whole school is in a tizzy over something other than the American president’s son enrolling…except it’s Henry.
Prince Henry. He’s enrolled too.
[university au. Ceramicist!Henry x dancer!Alex. Still royal and FSOTUS.]
Alexander Hamilton Hall (unfinished)
It started with a group project.
Well, Alex supposed it started when Henry Fox moved to town, or perhaps when Alex’s parents succeeded enough in their political careers that he and June were transferred to the most prestigious high school in Texas.
Alexander Hamilton Hall.
[high school au. Non-royal au. Arthur lives au.]
Burning (unfinished)
Henry did manage to tell Alex to leave that night in Kensington.
Now it’s two years later, and Alex is over it. He has a girlfriend. His mother has been reelected. He’s going to the Swanky Soiree of Something Important in Paris, because he’s over it. Henry can be there and it’s fine.
Henry is there. And it’s most definitely not fine.
[canon-divergence. Whump and angst. Getting back together fic.]
Codename: Rapunzel (unfinished)
Acquiring the Prince of Wales’ name in his Burn Book, so to speak, had not been a surprise in Alex’s line of work. What had been a surprise, was that someone wanted the fourth in line for the throne dead.
[assassin/hitman!Alex x Prince Henry.]
Defy the Odds (unfinished)
Henry is a prince of the Olympians. He has had everything bestowed upon him since his birth. And yet, none of it mattered when the light of his father's soul went out.
Alexander is the First Shade of the Underworld. Prince of the dark realm and...the perfect person to help Henry along his many - many - journeys into the Underworld to find his father.
That is, if they can stand each other long enough to cooperate.
[an inverse Hades Game!AU where Henry is trying to find his father in the Underworld. Basically Zagreus Henry and Thanatos Alex.]
just finished season 2 of the podcast Moonburn and I really enjoyed it however the ending felt a little disappointing to me?? Queerbaited is DEFINITELY not the right word (obviously) but dude I was literally waiting for Zach to be trans for like a solid 6 hours and I think that might have been a stronger plotline? It feels like it would have hit more cohesively but whatever
