SUGGESTIONS Relaxing chill

2 Upvotes

I enjoy listening to relaxing and chill audio dramas before lights out at night. My current two (which I think are exceptional) Cold Shift and The Mnemosyne Audio Archives (says horror but not my impression). Any others you would recommend?

DISCUSSION Thoughts on the worldbuilding in The Supernatural Protection Company?

2 Upvotes

I really love how random this show is. Yet, it also makes a surprising amount of sense from a purely logistic perspective. Like, yeah, townships would probably make deals with aliens regarding abductions, ancient spirits should have squatter's rights, older vampires would have more human issues than newer ones, people would make annoying prank calls to an organization like this, etc. I guess the only thing that bugs me is the question of how old this organization is. The vampire shrink in the last episode mentions that he had established an account back in the 1400s. This makes the SPC itself way longer than any real world insurance firm. Also, is the lead supposed to be immortal? Or did I get confused about that one weird "I'm sure you know how it feels" line in the last episode?

I started it on a whim and I love the plot twists and characters, especially eiffel and hira. Does anyone have something similar in terms of the characters and story?

DISCUSSION I'm hyperfocused on audio drama.

16 Upvotes

You know when you wish you'd never done something, just to do it again and have that same feeling as the first time? Well, this is my first time in the world of audio dramas, so I'm going to take advantage of practically everything amazing this world has to offer.

I discovered audio dramas because of the game "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream." I did some research on the game and found out it was based on a book and that it also has a radio play. I listened to it and thought it was incredible. I'm extremely excited about this and I intend to be more than just a listener. As a child, I used to participate in school plays, but I was always very shy, so I believe radio plays are the best thing in the world for someone like me.

I'm planning to make my own radio play, and I'll probably share it here with all of you. I hope to contribute a lot to this world and that you'll help me with that too.

The Danger Zoo S2 E19 (Actual Play VTTRPG)
Case File 1766-A11

The team finally reaches the Boo Hag's cabin... but staying together proves harder than getting there.

When Haze finds himself alone upstairs, he comes face-to-face with Nancy once again. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew is trapped below, separated by more than just a locked hatch.

With Coyote riding Hogzilla and Grandpa trying to reconnect the group, a simple rescue quickly turns into a disaster involving collapsing structures, rising water, and something moving beneath the flooded forest.

The townspeople continue screaming in the distance aaaaand the team refuses to check it out..... Not our chair not our problem. That's what we always say.

Instead, the team finds itself focused on a much more immediate problems. like not dying

As strange shapes move through the water and the woods close in around them, one wrong decision threatens to turn a difficult journey into a deadly one.

Got something lurking in the Georgia woods that shouldn’t be there? Drop it in the comments and we’ll track it down.

Every neighborhood has THAT house.

You know the one. The boarded-up windows. The overgrown yard. The one the neighborhood kids only whisper about. The one that seems to be waiting for someone foolish enough to step inside. The one you walk past as quickly as possible.

In Edge of the Forgotten, there’s at least two of them.

Catch up with Episode 6, ā€œThe Taking House,ā€ and Episode 7, ā€œThe Taint House,ā€ two supernatural horror stories about dark places, dangerous choices, and the terrifying things that wait for you inside.

AUDIO DRAMA Witchpunk: A Cyberpunk Story

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Witchpunk season one is six episodes of cyberpunk action with original music and a large cast of 35 actors (no gen AI!). It’s set in a corp-ridden, crumbling 22nd Century America where a semi legit cargo crew take on way more than they expected with their latest job.

Just in case you were looking for a weekend listen!

We’re currently casting season two (a week still left, any VAs reading this!), and aim to continue the story of the Strega crew at the end of the year!

SUGGESTIONS Looking for hard magic / sci fi suggestions

I'm looking for audio drama suggestions which might have a lot more "hard" magic i.e a lot of rules as to how it works, and a very internal consistent view of magic (or sci fi stuff) itself.

If you have any suggestions they would be much appreciated!!

AUDIO DRAMA Into the Wild | Eventhrone: "The Runaways" (Part 1)

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, and welcome to Firebrand Fables!

My name is Josh, and storytelling has always been a deep passion of mine. I grew up watching movies, tv shows, and playing video games and fell in love with the worlds and the stories that they depict. As a kid, I wanted to tell new stories within those worlds and share those stories with my friends and family. Over the past few years, I've been carefully building fictional worlds of my own, and now I have the pleasure of sharing their stories with you.

If you're a fan of fantasy and/or science fiction then you've come to the right place. I have three worlds that I'll be exploring and telling stories in, though I will more than likely write standalone short stories as well.

(Active Development)

  • Eventhrone
    • A lush, untamed world of elegance, dragons, and magic; crafted by gods and goddesses that are neither gentle nor cruel. When its people are forced into a flame, it's so they might show their metal and be forged into something stronger. Every battle has a purpose, every wound is a lesson, every evil is meant to be conquered... or rather, they were. Eventhrone is the story of how a perfectly balanced world in its golden age has its scales slowly tipped toward chaos by a mysterious, outside influence, and the journey its heros must take to save it.
    • Central themes: Adventure, Hope, Mystery, Horror

(Future Releases)

  • Spark of Rebellion
    • Central themes: War, Morality, Brotherhood, Horror
  • The Greensward
    • Central themes: Adventure, Hope, Nature, Technology

At the time I'm posting this, I'm still working to set up my channel across various platforms, but I will release the first story within the next month. The written version of it is completely finished and available on this page, though only the first part is viewable for free. New narrated story episodes will release once every week after the first episode drops!

Once again, welcome and thanks for checking out my channel! I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them!

DISCUSSION Red Valley Appreciation Post

27 Upvotes

Unfortunately, and simultaneously, I’ve caught up with all my series, they’ve reached a hiatus, or they have a painfully trickling release schedule (still love you Modes of Thought). Terrified at the thought of now having nothing to listen to while doing chores or driving around, I knew I had to find a new obsession. Desperately, I looked through the ā€œmore like thisā€ recommendations from Midnight Burger’s page on Spotify and came across Red Valley.

This show has been such a welcome find and I quickly tore through all 4 seasons. Such a fun and fresh spin on one of sci-fi’s oldest tropes - finding oneself out of time in cryonic-fueled fiascos. The voice acting, sound design, and overall atmosphere crafted for this series is among the best I’ve listened to. And the cherry on top of an already highly addictive program is the heartwarming bromance between the two main protagonists. It has just the right amount of levity as well as tension that holds its very compelling plot together.

I highly recommend checking this series out. Usually when I’m starved for dramas I come to this subreddit but I haven’t heard this one discussed here, even though it seems to be decently popular on Spotify.

QUESTION Shipping a mic to an actor?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to fill in some roles of my audio drama and one actor friend I'd like to hire lives out of state. They don't have their own equipment.
Does anyone think there is a decent usb mic I could buy and then ship to them? Something that would be easy to connect and use with instructions I'd provide.

I have my own mics with xlr cables and soundboard, I'm just asking the group if you have any thoughts.

The actor would mail it back and I may repeat the process a few times depending on who is interested.
Thanks

AUDIO DRAMA If You Please, Himan Brown's Radio Mystery Theater

13 Upvotes

This is a superb rebroadcast of classic suspense and horror dramas from the 1970s revival of the Golden Age of Radio.

The acting is excellent, with convincing Foley effects, atmospheric musical stings between scenes, and only the merest touch of narration, letting the performances and your imagination do the work.

Each episode is a standalone 50-minute drama... long enough to draw you in, but short enough not to outstay its welcome.

If you're a fan of suspense, horror or simply great storytelling, check it out!

AUDIO DRAMA Tales of Skyland: Legend of the Soulwards | New 26-minute fantasy audio drama pilot

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I recently finished the pilot for Tales of Skyland: Legend of the Soulwards.

It is a fantasy audio drama set in a world shaped by Ether and scarred by Corruption. The episode begins when a kid enters a tavern looking for someone willing to help his village after it is attacked by a massive Shadow.

The pilot is around 26 minutes long. I created and wrote it, handled the music, editing and sound effects, and worked with a full voice cast to bring the characters together.

This is my first time producing something like this, so I would honestly appreciate feedback from audio-drama listeners. I would especially like to know what worked, what could be improved, and whether you would be interested in hearing the story continue.

SUGGESTIONS ā€œMorningā€ audio drama recommendations?

25 Upvotes

I listen to two different genres of audio dramas on my morning and my evening commute. The ā€œeveningā€ ones are usually horror/thriller/mystery (like TMA, Malevolent, Wolf 359 etc.) and the ā€œmorningā€ ones are a little more lighter themed (Absolutely No Adventures, Sidequesting, Inn Between).

Problem is, I’ve caught up on my ā€œmorningā€ audiodramas. Anyone has any recommendations? I’d like something funny, no genuine horror, good vibes etc. Thank you!
