Audio Dramas I Listen To and Something I Like About Them
Currently In My Listen Roster (They might be on hiatus or finished as a series, but I'm not caught up yet.)
Hi Nay: It'll give you one piece of information and then later another piece of information, and then you'll have a moment where you make a connection and realize that such and such character is the character you heard about in the other episode.
World Gone Wrong: Captures the experience of going through a crisis and still having to worry about the mundane aspects of life.
Under the Electric Stars: Quality cyberpunk.
Heinous Investigations: Quality hijinks.
Witchpunk: Also quality cyberpunk.
Mabel: Very avant-garde.
Hymns for the Road: The supernatural threats aren't scary because they're supernatural; they're scary because they're abusive shitheads.
Wolf 359: Season Two has been mining the Season One finale for every bit of Consequences, and I love it.
Hannahpocalypse: It's doing it's own thing, and I will always respect that in a piece of art.
InCo: Come, micro-dose on a haughty prince getting bullied each episode by someone he thinks himself better than.
Red Valley: Every episode has me wanting to immediately listen to the next one to find out what's going on!
The Harbingers: The intrigue! The mystery! The unreliable narrators! This one deserves a massive fan base, and everyone should go listen to it right now.
Eeler's Choice: It has giant eels and B. Narr.
The Kingmaker Histories: Excellent shenanigans. Just loads of fun.
Back Again, Back Again: It's a deconstruction of Magical Teenager Chosen One fantasy.
Tales From the Singing Porch: A nice little unsettling tale each episode.
Project Gnosis: It's like an anime you can solely listen to!
Old Gods of Appalachia: It's an exploration of the awful underbelly of U.S. history.
The Strange Case of Starship Iris: The crew is being covertly recorded, and upon learning this, they began to act differently and say different things.
Two Thousand and Late: Very snappy back and forth dialogue.
Where the Stars Fell: I love the dynamic between the two leads.
Malevolent: Threshold: This is a great follow up to a great series.
Welcome to Night Vale: There are not many shows that can run for as many seasons as WtNV and still get a laugh out of the audience.
The Black Chest: The episodic stories are engaging.
Station 404: Great humor. Bingeing this one cheered me up on a day when I was feeling absolutely awful.
Star Files: This one just started, but I think it's neat.
Welcome to Isaiah: This one just started, but I like that it was inspired by AI psychosis.
Dominus: This one just started, but I'm here for the priest yaoi.
The Lion and the Adder: This one just started, but the lead is delightful.
The Mechadova Engine: This one just started, but the lead's enthusiasm is infectious.
The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne: This one just started, but the reveal at the end of the pilot has me hooked.
Dustwalker: The characters are conspiring to overthrow the shitty government without the story bending over backwards to try to convince me that they're paragons of saintliness.
Twigs and Hearts: The Fey through the lens of 1950s sitcoms.
On Hiatus/Between Seasons
The Magnus Protocol: A really great follow up to one of the greatest audio dramas out there.
The Gospel of Haven: Gorgeous opening music, a solid story, and fascinating worldbuilding.
Camp Here and There: Toxic yaoi in Ohio!
Killjam XXX: Brilliant satire and action.
Camlann: Really interesting worldbuilding.
Project: Daydream: What if, instead of a character who was a trans woman dying, she was revealed to have superpowers instead?
Ones I Finished That Shouldn't Be Forgotten
The Pasithea Powder: Please listen to this one. It's amazing. Just wonderful intrigue and plot arcs.
The Magnus Archives: If you're somehow reading a post about audio dramas and are unfamiliar with The Magnus Archives, yeah, this is another one of the greats. Please go listen to all 200 episodes. Highlight is the worldbuilding.
Unwell: Just absolutely wonderful. This is another standout audio drama. The character work is the highlight.
Mirrors: It does both it's horror and scifi aspects really well.
The Silt Verses: Wonderfully done satire. Absolutely heartbreaking. This is another one of the greats.
Sheeple Chase: A delightful addition to the Magnus storyverse.
Malevolent: This is another top pick. The voice work is the highlight.
witchpunk is apparently a new audio drama, not a clue what it is about yet but that is the coolest name I've ever heard
so definitely giving it a listen
Just Got the first in the wild recap of a witchpunk game and it sounds like e knew the assignment!!!!!! e based it on eir experience with a homophobic preacher at then trenton punk rock flea market and it sounds insane in the best way!!! em and eir coplayer used some time travel shenanagins to play a bitchin show and protect the community!!!!! iMm so excited!!!!!!!!!
I listened to the pilot episode of Witchpunk by @citeogs and it's really good. Some specific things I liked:
The concept of the truth checker playing behind the news was really interesting, super neat way to convey the dystopia of the setting.
The action sequence in the first episode was enthralling. Action is one of the hardest things to do well in an audio medium, and this show nailed it. It’s immersive, intense, and introduces the worldbuilding in a really natural way.
Speaking of the worldbuilding, Witchpunk's worldbuilding is so cool. I can't wait to learn more about this setting!
I also particularly like the sci-fi/fantasy trope of a fight happening simultaneously in the physical world and a digital/mental/psychic world (the Murderbot books do this very well for example), and Witchpunk nails that.
Highly recommend checking out this show. The Firefly vibes are also right up my alley, and the first episode totally sold me.
WTCH - One Whole Year
Happy One Year Anniversary! I can't believe it's been 52 weeks since I started this silly thing. It's been so much fun to make, and I'm so happy I get to show you my children and the silly things they get up to. Thank you for reading, thank you to everyone who's reblogged and commented, it means the world to me.
Let's do it all again this year.

Started Witchpunk yesterday by @citeogs and its really good... definitely check it out if you're looking for post-appoclyptic shenanigans in the far future with advanced magic-like tech. I'm really enjoying it so far.
I'll probably do a proper review after i finish with my exams but for now I'm saying everyone go listen because its really good
