20 Fiction Podcasts for Pride Month – Part One

Happy Pride! I wanted to put together a list of some of my favourite fiction podcasts which feature LGBTQIA+ characters to celebrate Pride Month, and it was a difficult task considering just how many shows exist with awesome queer representation! I eventually got the list down to 20, which I'm breaking into two parts, with …

Audio Fiction Sunday 6th June 2021

Personal Highlights Great & Terrible: Humpty Dumpty. In a continuation of the theme of belonging from last week’s episode, Jane talks about the racism and bigotry that she’s faced during her life; which is very clearly demonstrated by the ignorance from her chirpy white friend, when Jane’s feeling so much anger. The use of the …

May Audio Fiction Milestones

After trying out a milestone list for April, I decided to do it again for May. As usual, this doesn't contain everything as there is just so much out there in the audio fiction world, but I've tried to include all the milestones from the shows I was listening to in May. Debuts Cassandra's Tales …

Personal Highlights Radio Elusia: 11 - Liar. The ending of the episode literally gave me chills; the sound design was so effective, especially with the sudden stop in the dialogue. Until those final few seconds, the focus of the episode had been on the friendship between Lia and Suz - and how the new archive …

Personal Highlights Hubris - 2.6: In The Heist. One thing I love about the Hubris project is that it gives folks the opportunity to write one-off stories that otherwise wouldn’t fit into the shows they usually create, and that can lead to a lot of fun. Here we have a heist, and it’s very much …

Personal Highlights Moonbase Theta, Out: Season 3, Episode 12 - Go, Cat, Go. (Note: I play Reception Bot in season 3 of Moonbase Theta, Out.) Oh boy there are some big revelations in this season finale, as the web between the three locations featured in this season really closes in. There are some really emotional …

Catching Up On: The End of Time and Other Bothers

https://open.spotify.com/episode/5XyhOjCuHlHzIVJzKRKSEN?si=x675IQ4tTZW-MyAhaa_rWg This is another feature I wanted to try out, in which I talk about a show that I've been catching up on recently. This is actually going to be the first time I’ve featured an actual play podcast on my blog, and I wanted to preface this post with some background information to give …

Personal Highlights Folxlore - S1 E8 Foundation [I V] & S1 E9 Decay [II V]. The first weekend in May brought two episodes of Folxlore, wrapping up the first season. It was very satisfying seeing the various threads and characters we’ve met all coming together in the season finale, but this is at a very …

April Audio Fiction Milestones

We are, tentatively, back! To re-start things, I wanted to put together a post of audio fiction milestones from April. This isn’t going to feature everything, it’d be impossible for me to keep track, but I did want to highlight some new shows and returns that I’m particularly excited about. Debuts Apollyon (CW: in depth-discussions …

Four Years of Fiction Podcasts

This time four years ago, way back in 2017, I started listening to fiction podcasts. I wanted to write a post looking back at 10 of the first podcasts listened to, and my experience of getting into a new medium. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0QhDzfhDA1Swtc8XSesAW0?si=MJekL2KwSaakCFKr8Nk9Bw Wolf 359 My very first fiction podcast, my first love. I got into fiction …
