I started listening to it the other day as a workplace listen and honestly, I'm surprised it's not more popular. It's about a doctor, Radulf Burntwine, and the many odd cases he encounters of the horror and eldritch variety.

The worldbuilding is incredible, as someone who loves applying a more "realistic" spin to various horror scenarios. What if Zombies were a recognized disease? Lycanthropy? I've also, frankly, been looking for more horror that borrows from Judaism that isn't obviously filtered through a culturally Christian lens.

And Radulf is a great character to be stuck with, since everything is from his perspective. He's old, he's grumpy, he gives kids candy at check ups for being so brave in going to the doctor. oh, and in my mind he looks like Mandy Patinkin lol

not a very long or in depth review I just needed to do a quick gush about a podcast I admittedly avoided because I thought "thorb" was a silly name

*unless its explicitly a sing along of course

Last night I was at a showing of the Hadestown proshoot. A woman sat down next to me and my roommate with an announcement she'll be singing. When she brushed off my request to not, I reported her to the theatre.

This did not go well & I ended up leaving with my roommate (voluntarily) when it seemed like the theatre wasn't going to do anything about her, even when she was making it obvious she was going to be disruptive.

Dont regret saying anything, though. I hope she ended up kicked out.

I wish there were transcripts 😭This isn't an issue solely with Petrified but I just recommended it to a friend with audio processing issues Before I looked to see if there were transcripts

I guess this is just a kvetching post about a continual lack of accessibility in a really basic way. There's no reason not to have transcripts and I don't think "it's an audio medium, not everyone will get to enjoy it" is a good argument. That shouldn't apply to a medium as a whole.
