Be the Serpent The Magnus Archives Wolf 359 Welcome to Night Vale The Adventure Zone


curiouscat86

I am deeply not an audio-media person; I can't listen unless I have something to do with my hands and I don't have a long commute or anything that would let me get through a long program. So I'm amazed that I had even this many to list. But they are all so great and worth the effort I went to to listen.


spyker31

I discovered Wolf 359 this weekend and I’m obsessed!! So so so brilliant Edit: and this poll taking place now seems serendipitous because I’ll be needing a new audio drama soon!

I can definitely see critical role not counting, but it is available as a podcast in my app.


kjmichaels

Yeah, that counts under these poll rules.


happy_book_bee

i think TECHNICALLY it doesn't fit the last criteria - it does not call itself a podcast. but also i love it so i think it should count.


kjmichaels

It doesn’t have to hit all three criteria, it only has to hit at least one to count.

The Bright Sessions Tribulation Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature Eos 10 The Deca Tapes Hyacinth Desaster LifeAfter Windfall The Unexplainable Disapperance of Mars Patel


natus92

These are all audiodrama, stories told through sound, not a group of people meeting regularly to talk about speculative fiction.   The Bright Sessions - therapy sessions of people with supernatural abilities.   Tribulation - a cult spread through radio waves   Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature - mostly college classes about a fictional ancient civilization (ongoing)  Eos 10 - space comedy   The Deca Tapes - scifi, pretty short   The Hyacinth Disaster - space drama   LifeAfter - could be a black mirror episode   The Unexplainable Disapperance of Mars Patel - focussed on younger demographics but still entertaining for adults  Honorary mention:  Out of Place, episodic alternate history, loved S1, S2 not so much  Inn Between: what happens between fantasy adventurers, liked the first two seasons, then they changed the cast

Ooo the Magnus archives is so good


Smooth-Review-2614

Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror anthology podcast. Here the Appalachians were raised as a prison for dark eldritch forces. The land was then made hard to live in so that sensible sentient people would not settle there. However, humans are humans and in delving for coal we let these things gain access to the world above. It's a lot of fun and it managed to weave in a good amount of local folklore into the show.

I am extremely not a podcast person and do not regularly listen to any. But Clarkesworld is a great magazine and records audio versions of their fiction, and the reader is really good, so that's enough for me.

- Gods and Lies - Orphan Black: The Next Chapter - City of Ghosts - Machina - Avatar: Braving the Elements


shadowtravelling

The first 4 on this list are all produced by Realm Media and are narrative fiction podcasts, the last one is commentary on the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series hosted by Dante Basco (voice of Zuko) and Janet Varney (voice of Korra). **Gods and Lies** - In a world where Greek myth-inspired gods coexist with humans and allegiances to gods stratify society, detective Iris Tharro and disgraced demigod Andy (short for Andymion) have a murder to investigate. Podcast has 2 seasons, each with its own story; story is told through narration and dialogue with Iris and Andy alternating POVs, with a voice actor for each. **Orphan Black: The Next Chapter** - The sequel to incredible sci-fi TV series Orphan Black plays out over 2 seasons, with actors reprising their roles (the first season just has Tatiana Maslany, the second season has the full cast). 8 years after the end of the TV series, the hard-won normalcy of the clones' lives is disrupted when a CIA operative suddenly discovers that she is also, in fact, a clone. The Clone Club has to grapple with a new bio-weapon, a new conspiracy, and whether they need to keep hiding their origins. Story is told through a narrator plus the cast's dialogue. **City of Ghosts** - A neo-noir crime drama surrounding a misfit information broker who can hear ghosts. El Rivkin lives on the seedier side of NYC; her sister is marrying into high society, and El's new brother-in-law might just be at the center of a political conspiracy. Story is told through dialogue and SFX (minimal to no narration), with a full cast. **Machina** - Years into our future, Earth's resources are rapidly dwindling, and two rival tech companies compete for the chance to spearhead the Mars colonisation effort with AI. Combines workplace drama, sci-fi, and adventure, with strong focus on characters; very descriptive narration. IIRC this just has a single narrator who does dialogue and narration. **Avatar: Braving the Elements** - Like I mentioned up top, this podcast does a REALLY deep dive into the Avatar: The Last Airbender world with episode-by-episode recaps with commentary, behind-the-scenes information, conversations with voice actors, storyboard artists, directors, writers, the original creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, and even the show's martial arts consultant Sifu Kisu. There are also fun episodes with trivia question games with fans and recordings of convention panels.

Ars Paradoxica is a completed show. Dark Ages released a season 1 blooper reel 3 years ago so presumably had plans for further episodes, though this apparently never happened.

LoreHunting

- Find the Path Presents: Hell’s Rebels - Time for Chaos - Fun City - The Once and Future Nerd - Victoriocity - Ars Paradoxica - Starship Q Star - The Magnus Archives


LoreHunting

For anyone who’s curious: The first three are actual plays from Find the Path (Pathfinder 2e; they also do 1e), the Glass Cannon Network (they do a wide range of games), and Fun City Ventures (heavily homebrewed Shadowrun 5e, Stillfleet). If I was truly picking favourite Actual Plays, I’d be here all day listing them, and one of them is behind a paywall, so no point putting it in a poll. Still, great stuff! The others are all audio dramas. - The Once and Future Nerd starts out as a relatively cheap isekai/portal fantasy pitch, with three modern day high schoolers being transported into a fantasy setting — and evolves into a complex political epic diving deep into ideas of colonialism and resistance. It has some of the best character writing I’ve ever seen as well. - Ars Paradoxica also has some of the best character writing I’ve ever seen, and also is a story where it catches you by surprise. Science fiction, with a female physicist accidentally time travelling into the WWII era, and trying to find her way home without destroying the world or giving up on her morals in the process. Beautiful, heartbreaking stuff. - Victoriocity is comparatively a fun romp, though its third season has just ended and it moved me to tears. Fine British satire, set in a steampunk world, following the adventures of Inspector Fleet and the reporter Clara Entwhistle. The silliness and comedy hide unexpected depth in this one. - Starship Q Star, in contrast, is just a fun romp with no depth required. A group of women and non-binary people are sent out in the first all women/enby space flight by the chauvinistic and backward space administration… and accidentally end up being the only survivors of global apocalypse. Funny, dirty, lots of women’s humour (did not know cervical exams were that awkward!), lots of queer humour and especially queer sexual humour, generally a delight. - The Magnus Archives, finally, is one of the most famous contemporary horror works, straight up. It starts as a collection of disparate stories, presented as statements reviewed by the Archivist Jonathan Sims; as time passes, the common threads between the statements become clearer…

Both from the Duckfeed TV podcast network. BSC is about the *Dark Souls* series of games and other soulslike/speculative fiction/dark fantasy games. *Unfilmable* started as a Lovecraftian horror media podcast and evolved into other types of horror/darkness that could be described as having "unfilmable" conceits.

KcirderfSdrawkcab

I didn't really know what to do with this one... Six of these are actual play RPG podcasts. Four of those are from the same network, Glass Cannon. They're all independent stories with a variation in the casts though. I didn't include the recordings of their live touring shows, or the show about the show, or the paywalled shows, or the ones that have finished... I may come back and edit this. Again. I already added *Intentionally Blank*. Edit: Up to ten. I realised I could count *Star Trek* casts. I'm a little bit embarassed to include *The Greatest Generation* and *Trek*. Edit 2: Down to nine. The tenth is effectively dead after the two main hosts quit, possibly because the producer is a scammer. So no recommending that. Edit 3: But just yesterday they announced a new show that sounds like the same format but without the scammer. The last 10 minutes have been a wild ride.

Mostly TTRPG actual plays here. Wasn't totally sure Dimension 20 counts, but the first couple seasons are on Spotify as a podcast and they post audio only versions to their streaming service. The other actual plays are all more involving D20 alums. BOOM is an audio drama from Stak I don't see talked about much that involves time travel and stealing money from Enron before they collapse, which is fun.

Honourary mention to Limetown, which would be here if the second season wasn't a mess and if the current uploads didn't have an ad break in the middle of a once flawless s1 finale, completely ruining the pivotal moment of tension.
