AUDIO DRAMA Metropolis! New Episode! Ep 12: For Those Who See The End Is Coming

Post image
47 Upvotes

Episode 12 of the 13-episode full-cast, full-production science fiction audio drama.  A murder mystery in neon utopia.

WHERE WE LEFT OFF

Nan and company now know the secret within the heart of Metropolis.  But one cold question remains: will they remain alive long enough to do anything about it?  

WHERE TO LISTEN

* APPLE MUSIC
* SPOTIFY
* POCKET CASTS
* RSS
* WEBSITE

———

Our penultimate episode! This episode obviously took a very, *very* long time to release.  I'm incredibly proud of it, but even moreso, I'm incredibly thankful of how patient everyone has been across the yawning chasm between Episode 11 and this one. You all are just wonderful, and I apologize for long I've left everyone in suspense in the meantime. 😂

The end really is coming.  I'm already editing together the finale (which was recorded an eternity ago), so the wait for the conclusion will not be nearly as long as the wait for this has been.

The amazing thing about editing these episodes together is that each time, I get to revisit Metropolis and all of these incredible people and places.  I get to do it one more time.  I am really, really going to miss it when I'm done.

SUGGESTIONS High fantasy recommendations?

9 Upvotes

Hey there! Im not a super heavy listener of audio dramas, midnight burger got me into the medium back when it started and I have been listening to it every few months when the urge hits. I’ve also listened to a bit of tower 4 and Alice isn’t dead. I recently binged the last 4 seasons of midnight burger and it’s side series when I started my new job, but it’s only been a month and now I’m without an audio drama.

I feel like I want to switch it up and try a high fantasy style audio drama, like Tolkien or the forgotten realms type of story. Preferably something not dark fantasy though, not really my vibe. Thank you in advance!

RPG [The Danger Zoo] Campaign 3 Episode 5: Headless Horseman Halloween Special Part 2(Sleepy Hollow)

0 Upvotes

[COMEDY/TTRPG]

Amazon//Apple//Audible//Spotify//YouTube//

The Danger Zoo C3 E5 (Actual Play VTTRPG)
Case File 6576-A2

In the second episode of our Halloween special, Haze has disappeared after his terrifying encounter with the Headless Horseman, leaving Grandpa and Baby Bird to navigate the maze on their own.

After finally finding each other, the two barely have time to regroup before a massive boulder comes crashing down the corridor behind them. Very "Temple of Doom" ish. They escape by the skin of their teeth, but the collapse leaves a huge section of the maze completely blocked off.

Things somehow get worse when Baby Bird carefully tries to cross one of the maze’s deadly goo traps and is suddenly kicked straight into it by... Haze!?!?

Except something is very wrong.

Haze’s head has been replaced by a horrifying jack-O-lantern, and he appears to be under the control of the Headless Horseman.

Can Grandpa and Baby Bird escape from whatever Haze has become, or can they somehow save him? Only one way to find out.

If there's a cryptid, monster, or haunted location you'd like to see the team investigate in a future case, let us know in the comments. Your suggestion might become the next mission for the D.A.N.G.E.R.Z.O.O.

We dropped episode 3 last week and would love if you checked it out!

Each episode of Secret Tapes follows a different sort of neurotic fool and Havin' a Think is no different. In this story, we follow William as he seeks solitude to ponder some recent life-altering events. Instead what he finds is the chance for community, if he would only let himself be accepted.

I know, YouTube isn't the best place for audio dramas, and I should just use Spotify but I hate dealing with the ads, I pay for premium and still have to listen to 5 ads per episode. However due to relistening to the Magnus archives on YouTube, I've learned that it isn't an issue on YouTube, at least not with that series at least. So I just want to know if there are any others out there

SUGGESTIONS Most interesting queer representations in audio dramas that show the singularity of the medium

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted to ask you guys which audio dramas you would consider to be the most diversive and distinct from other mediums in their treatment of queerness. We all know that the presence of queer characters in audio dramas are basically the norm of the medium (?) and almost expected even if it isn't a central theme. I was wondering about the ways in which the medium offers new and different ways for this to exist in ways that wouldn't be possible or preferable in film, tv series, books, comics etc. Thanks in advance and looking forward to discussion on this!

AUDIO DRAMA Xolo Maridueña & Graham McTavish star in The Strange Thing About the Tavern — out now

3 Upvotes
"The Strange Thing About the Tavern" featuring Xolo Maridueña, Graham McTavish, Eubha Akilade, and Conor McKenna

I’m the creator of The Strange Thing About…, an independent horror audio anthology from Bang Zoom! Studios. Our newest episode, The Tavern, is out and I wanted to share it here.

Lost in a freezing fog along the rugged western coast of Ireland, American college student Michael (Xolo Maridueña) stumbles upon a lonely old tavern glowing in the darkness. Inside, the fire is warm, the ale is extraordinary, and the locals are... a little strange.

Michael strikes up a conversation with Callum (Graham McTavish), a grizzled Scottish cabbie who offers to tell him a true story about a mysterious young woman he picked up outside a hospital many years ago. But as Callum’s haunting tale unfolds, an old bell keeps tolling, the crowd begins to thin, and Michael starts to wonder exactly what kind of place he’s wandered into.

From the Emmy Award-winning team at Bang Zoom! Studios, THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THE TAVERN is a supernatural audio drama about lost souls, unfinished journeys, and a final drink at the end of the road.

Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai, Blue Beetle, One Piece), Graham McTavish (The Hobbit, Outlander, House of the Dragon), rising Scottish actress Eubha Akilade, and Conor McKenna of acclaimed Irish comedy trio Foil Arms and Hog.

If you enjoy The Twilight Zone or old EC horror comics, that’s the spirit behind this series. Full cast, original score, custom foley, and 3D binaural sound. Headphones recommended.

It’s a 24-minute standalone story, so you can start here without hearing the earlier episodes. You can find it pretty much anywhere you listen to podcasts.

SUGGESTIONS Help a heavy listener out?

12 Upvotes

I'm a "neurospicy" vet student with a massive course load. I play podcasts while I study, it helps me focus. I've listened to hundreds at this point. However, they have to fit a certain "metric" to work for me:

  1. They can't be "audiobooks". As in, they can't be one person reading a story. No "George turned to Virgina and said..." kind of stuff. Occasional narration in a predominantly non-narrated story is totally fine.

  2. There can't be ad breaks in the content. It breaks my focus. At the start and end I can live with. HOWEVER, my province has recently allowed gambling advertisements (which I strongly disagree with) and they are absolutely EVERYWHERE right now, so shows with 2-3 ads will be all gambling ads and I just can't take that right now. I've been back benching shows with ads for now

  3. I prefer larger casts to one or two actors. That said, some of my favourites are done with single actors, I think it's more important that there are "environmental" sounds that bring the scenes to life than there's a larger cast. And I love an accent.

  4. Shows that have really short episodes won't work for me, unless they don't have intros/outros so can just play uninterrupted. I need 20-30 minute stretches at least.

  5. I like a wide range of subjects: horror, supernatural, fantasy, mystery, comedy, musicals, and more. I'm pickier about the sounds, narration, and ads than subject matter. I like "unusual" though: characters that don't fit a box, scenarios that turn a bit left, unusual relationships, queer romance, utopian ideals, problematic dynamics, sideways humour, so on and so forth. If you'd hesitate to recommend it to someone you know because it's "a bit weird", or you feel like you'd have to explain it a bit first, chances are I'll love it.

  6. I really prefer serials with larger plots that build over "short stories" where each episode is a new set of character and events, but I'm not opposed to well done compilations of "short stories". I loved Ten Apocalypses, for example.

I listen on both Pocket Casts and Spotify (if it matters).

I could give you a massive list of shows I liked, but I'm really hoping for some "out of left field" recommendations. I will say though, I've likely listened to all the more commonly recommended shows (Midnight Burger, The Silt Verses, The Heresies of Radulf Burntwine, Malevolent, etc.), and then some. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've listened to hundreds of shows.

Send me your oddest, "diamond in the rough" shows. Ones you've never seen recommended, or that you listened to every episode and then thought "what the hell was that?", but in a surprisingly good way. Shows that occasionally pop in the back of your mind like some kind of fever dream that you barely remember. I'd really appreciate it and it'd really help me get through my course work!

AUDIO DRAMA How i Died's new season is a one-shot creepy town horror story, and it premiered TODAY

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

With her eyesight slowly failing, Grace Lewis moves her husband Marshall and daughter to the idyllic town of Springfield, where holistic doctors promise that a natural, technology-free way of life will help restore her vision and heal the ailments of all of the other ill residents.

But Springfield has its secrets, and as Grace's symptoms get worse and she begins hearing a monstrous voice that shouldn't exist, she uncovers a secret that puts her family's life, and the rest of the town, in danger.

How i Died: The Carrington Event is a completely independent story following new characters (with some familiar voices) set INSIDE of a Springfield experimental town. Meaning, you don't need to listen to the other seasons to enjoy this new one. It's the perfect entry point, just in time for spooky season. But, for existing fans, there are plenty of easter eggs and fun connections to the main story. Check out the embedded trailer above.

This season will run for 7 episodes, released every other week. Listen on:

Apple Podcasts

Spotify

RSS

Or any other app!

Director's Note: Personally, I absolutely love horror and have been so excited about making this season for a long time now. How i Died's main arc has some spooky moments, but this new story arc blends mystery and horror to the perfect degree, I think. And, fun fact, I originally planned this story before Jon even existed! If you check it out, I'd love to talk with you about it.
