I'm a longtime audio drama listener, but I've been backfilling a few blind spots recently. I finally listened to The White Vault, and I totally get it now; I can't believe I skipped that for so long.

Another podcast on my to-do list is The Magnus Archives. I see it on everyone's lists of favorite audio dramas, and it constantly comes up when people ask for recommendations. I think by the time I noticed it, I was already a few seasons behind and just let it go for a while.

But I'm finally listening now. I'm a few episodes in, and I can already feel my brain checking out. It's very well done, but I'm not a huge fan of "single narrator tells a story" style podcasts. I'm a fan of plot-driven mysteries and shows with multi-character casts (The Left-Right Game, Tanis, The Message, Lovecraft Investigations, etc.)

So I'm wondering what people would say as to why I should keep listening. Does it eventually become more of a story? Is there an episode I need to get to where it really locks in? Should I skip ahead to a certain point? Appreciate any thoughts.
