I'm raising money for a Palestinian 🍉 family in need! Since I'm a little big on BG3 TikTok for talking about Astarion, I am going to allow anybody who sends me proof that they donated $75 to Nermen and her family to decide the topic of an Astarion analysis video on TikTok

This video has more details! Watch all the way through, like, and share to spread the word!

This is where you can donate:

Donate to Gaza Emergency Appeal- Help my family, organized by Nermen Alnawajha

Dear Sir/Madam, Hope you and your loved ones are doing well in these to… Nermen Alnawajha needs your support for Gaza Emergency Appe

This is the email where you can send me proof: [email protected]

I'm a horror podcast but this is scarier

[theaberrantreport]

Just a check in to say there's no rush or pressure, as life gets crazy.

However, we still are excited for more and invested in this whenever you feel ready again!

I think it's super cool and I hope to once again hear the abberant report!

And I hope everything okay with you personally as well :)

Hey! I just graduated and am working to get out the rest of the first season! Hopefully I'll have everything ready by the end of the summer. Sorry to keep yall waiting!

[theaberrantreport]

Just coming in here to say we stan Blake The Lake in this house. Love that funky lil body of water

Sending this to my Blake voice actor IMMEDIATELY

[theaberrantreport]

Okay sorry if this comes across wrong

I started listening to the abberant report this morning as I got ready. I wasn't really enjoying at first. I have trouble starting new thing sometimes, no matter how cool they seem. Sometimes, it always feels like trusting through molasses.

Half way through the first episode I was hooked. I thougut, hey this is pretty cool! I had to stop to leave half way through the second episode.

Couldn't even wait to get home to finish it, and by the third episode I stated yelling at my friend to go listen to it.

Now, on the 4th episode I can't stop talking to my friend about it, raving about how cool it is. I can't stop. I try, but I can't stop! I only came over here to tell you what a great job you did! Recommending this to people for sure!

This is wonderful to hear! I hope you enjoy the next two episodes!

We are still on hiatus as it is the creator's (me) last semester of college, but we have so many plans for the future!

It genuinely brings me and my voice actors so much joy to hear from fans, and we are so happy you love the story enough to share it with your friends!

(Yes I shared your ask with them before I responded here! They all got really excited!)

On the third day of the #12daysofpodmas the theme is two spooky shows that became fast favourites this year! @theaberrantreport and Echoes (In) Between

[octoberschildrenpodcast]

you always dread your first bad review

but then it turns out its just 3 stars from someone who says your show is "too Gen-Z" and thinks it's cringy that your characters give pronouns during introductions... so yeah COME LISTEN TO OCTOBER'S CHILDREN, THE SHOW THAT IS "TRYING TOO HARD TO BE WOKE" SAYS SOME JERK ON THE INTERNET

[hellofromthehallowoods]

Just caught up with your show again! (I listened to season one then left it for a while.)

And now I have podcasts with eye symbology in 4 colours! I have red, yellow, green, and purple. Any advice on where to complete the rainbow?

Yes! Get writing! There's half a rainbow left to cover and the clock is TICKING

[theaberrantreport]

Finals week tips for the best end of semester possible!:

Drink unholy amounts of caffeine, preferably in the form of coffee

Impulsively dye your hair purple to trick yourself into believing you have some control over your life

Study, I guess

[theaberrantreport]

Do you ever imagine two characters from an audio drama meeting? And the chaos it would be?

Jonathan Sims and Nikignik...

Silas from Syntax and Milo from The Night Post...

Ashley from October's Children and Junie from The Aberrant Report...

Lou from The Moon Crown and Arthur Lester from Malevolent

THE TRAWLER MAN AND THE YELLOW KING

I'm maybe really loosely interpreting "main character" here. But I feel like I can effectively argue this.

[theaberrantreport]

I never said main character! You're all good!

Hallowoods Fanart FAQ

Can I make fanart of your show?  Yes, absolutely! With abandon!  Can I put my fanart on merch and sell it?  That’s fine! Your merch helps spread the word for the show, so it helps both of us out.  Can I put your episode art on merch and sell that?  No, please don’t take my art for resale. That much I can do myself!  Can I print your episode art to have on my wall?  That’s a-okay!  Can I tattoo your episode art/quotes/etc. on my body?  Wow, that’s a big decision! You absolutely can, but make sure it’s a piece you’d love regardless of how Hallowoods turns out. You never know. Maybe we’ll pull a ‘Lost’ in our finale and ruin the story. Would you still like your tattoo even then? If so, it’s a keeper.  Can I write a D&D campaign inspired by the Hallowoods?  That sounds awesome, go for it. And maybe mention this neat podcast you’ve been listening to while you’re at it!  Who does all the art for your show?  That’s me, Mx. Wellman! Same as the rest of the production! Thanks for noticing it!

I was writing episode 8 when I saw...

what did it said

WHAT DID IT SAID!??????

in... in what context does this make ANY sense?

[theaberrantreport]

My favorite part of audio dramas is the fan to creator pipeline. There is a little voice they implant into your brain that says "you could write a little queer horror" and then you DO

[theaberrantreport]

What would happen to your impulsive blorbo with 0 survival skills if the supernatural *WASN'T* out to get them? Would they be happy? Will they ever be happy?

[amongthestackspodcast]

William A. Wellman (they/them) has been creating bespoke nightmares for @hellofromthehallowoods over 100 episodes now, and is currently working on the tie in novel 'One Hundred Eyes in the Dark'. You won't be ready to hear their performance as Sleep.

Strap yourselves in folks!

[hellofromthehallowoods]

Me? Play a dream related entity? What are the odds

[theaberrantreport]

Feel free to claim all of my characters as autistic, or ADHD-ic, or queer, or whatever y'all relate to the most.

Headcanons aren't ruining fandom.

Yes, this is directed at a rando on TikTok I'm mad at. Leave me alone >:(

[hellofromthehallowoods]

Well...I'm caught up...what now?

Now you can grieve and rejoice with the gang every Wednesday! In the meantime, a few ideas!

For more queer rep and a calmer, midwestern spooky story, take a gander at Jar of Rebuke (they're coming out with S2 next year). @jarofrebukepodcast

For more horror, action, and clever sound design, check out Malevolent (a great show to be on the Patreon for, since they get to vote every week on upcoming story events).

For another strangely apocalyptic world, but a lot more frightening gods and religious trauma, visit The Silt Verses. @thesiltverses

For queer cowboys and supernatural action, there's now a full two seasons of Desperado. @hughousepods

And for a ghost story adventure set in the real estate market of Toronto (with a now-complete show run), maybe check out Parkdale Haunt!

[theaberrantreport]

A paranormal mystery where most of the characters are queer and the main character has 0 impulse control? @theaberrantreport !!!

Vignette style audio drama in a weird small town with queer characters and a very clear distain for the police? @octoberschildrenpodcast !!!!

A high fantasy story full of Filipino mythology so dense you get so much more on your second listen, but so beautifully sound designed you lose yourself in the audio? @themooncrownpod

A full cast sci-fi horror where a linguist is forced out of his comfort zone and into the unexplored territories of an unknown world? And also queer? Syntax by @twinstrangersp
