Introducing… “The Podcast Against Giygas!”

I’ve been making an audiobook adaptation of my favorite game, Earthbound.

It has a lighthearted, young adult tone with plenty of absurdist humor and neato sci-fi action. If you’re not familiar with the games, it goes a little something like this:

““When a meteor crash lands into a small town and brings along a world-conquering tyrant, it's up to an average 12-year-old boy and his three not-so-average new friends to save the world as we know it.

These four brave kids go up against Giygas, the destroyer of worlds, and the very worst of his worst, including time-traveling alien soldiers, deadly robots, whack-a-doo cults, scary zombies, and the most annoying kid on planet Earth.

Luckily for them, they have plenty to aid them on their quest, including strange psionic abilities, a never-ending supply of bottle rockets, the most molecularly dense baseball bat that money can buy, and of course, the strongest weapon of all, the power of friendship.”

The first season is complete, and it covers the second game in the series, Earthbound. Season two has a prologue episode up now and will release in August 2026, and that one deals with the first game, Mother. The artwork is also done by my friend PD_CGT, you can check out more of his stuff on his website.

You can listen to them here, anywhere else you get your podcasts (RSS link here), or on my YouTube channel if that’s your thing. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do please leave a comment or review, it means a lot to me!

Looking for a title…

I’m looking for a title of a serialized audio drama about a man and woman are driving across the United States when they begin receiving mysterious broadcasts through their car radio. One recurring broadcast is a charismatic preacher or cult leader addressing a congregation (as far as I remember). The radio signal grows stronger as they drive toward it, disappears, then returns later. They eventually become stranded in an abandoned place with no people, but the broadcasts continue. I remember the first season being free and later content requiring Audible or other paywalled platform. I guess I remember it correctly but not quite sure if I haven’t mixed something up. Any suggestions highly appreciated:).

FYI - Sherlock & Co. Has Started Running Ad Free On BBC Sounds.

Sherlock & Co. Is now on BBC Sounds. Not too much of a scoop but interesting nonetheless. If you are in the UK (or near a UK VPN or use get_iplayer...) and not a Patreon member, it is a nice little bonus.

I take it this run will be missing the Mailbag Patreon exclusives though. Seems like a good way for the creators to get a little extra funding as they close in on the final run of Sherlock books.

Carry on. 😀

---EDIT---

Sherlock & Co. link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0nq34ms/episodes/player

It is curious as they have also signed the Noisier Hugh Bonneville Sherlock Readings Podcast too.

Sherlock Holmes Short Stories, narrated by Hugh Bonneville link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0k9tzr0

That's a lot of Sherlock Holmes.

trying to remember a podcast

ETA that my question is answered. It's Omen. I'm adding spoiler as a tag due to including some plot points

Hi, I am going bonkers trying to remember the name of a podcast I listened to years ago so I am fuzzy and may be pulling images from other podcasts but I'll give it a try.

fantasy podcast with two young men and a young woman. conflict at first then they become friends
I believe she left a royal home
At least one of the characters has some magic going on, maybe new to him
One of them maybe has issues with his dad? is expected to be a solider? knight?
Maybe opened with a horse scene?
Maybe has medieval elements? but I can also picture contemporary elements
At some point there is a boat kidnapping
Someone on a bridge plays a role
maybe a bootlegging related scene? a fire? jumping on a building?
I believe there is a shapeshifter (maybe with red hair?) and a scene towards the end involving water.

Thanks for any leads!

A podcast about a travel writer traveling through apocalyptic Britain.

This is a long shot because it was not a really popular podcast, but I was wondering if anyone remembers the name of a podcast from quite a few years ago that took the form of the writings of a travel writer on a train that is driving through apocalyptic Britain, each episode dealt with various communities they came across, strange happenings like ghosts type things that are disembodied scientists trying to inhabit the bodies of the people on the train, etc. it was definitely a bit of a comedy podcast.

Your Show Does Not Need To Justify Itself

You do not need to justify the show, specifically as to why it's in an audio medium. Just tell the story.

In a lot of ADs there's the trope of finding old tapes or cassettes that some third party, acting often as a narrator, discovers and plays and studies etc. Sometimes this works because the writer uses the setting but often it's there because the writer seemingly doesn't know how to tell the story otherwise. Video Palace is a positive example, having the MC be proactive due to the tapes, whereas I would say Escaping Denver is a bad example. I'm only 5 episodes in but so far the character that lays out the recordings is there just to give their opinion. In any other storytelling medium you would just have a story and tell it. Or simply have a narrator, that's also fine. Wooden Overcoats has the best narrator ever btw.

And that's the other thing: Why are there recordings in your story in the first place? If they don't meaningfully play into the story, remove them from it. I did not like how Red Valley did it (not spoiling cause otherwise good show) but something like Wolf 359 or We're Alive are great examples. In Wolf 359 the recordings are the audio logs of a communications officer on a spaceship but the story is allowed to happen without bringing much attention to the fact that the spaceship records everything that's said. And in We're Alive the "recordings" are diary entries from the different characters for information compiling. The setting is there but it has very little or none to do with the story and never gets in the way of it. Imagine if television shows explained why there's a camera crew there. Game Of Thrones would have been much different that's for sure.

In short: Just tell your damn story.

Yes, another which Audio Drama for me?

I just finished The Magnus Archives. I liked the first couple of seasons better, when there was a story being told in a bit of a monotone. I also liked the ~ half-hour format.

Frankly, I like to listen to the podcast to help myself and prepare-for/go-to sleep.

I like the approximately one-half-hour format, as I am also using the podcast to know when to put a medical device (alpha-stim) away. It has a twenty-minute cycle, but there is little indication of when it is done. The VA (US: Veterans Administration) says it helps me cope, and the people around me say I am easier to be around when I use it.

So here is what I liked. There may be criticism, but don't read that as me slagging a show off, I am just trying to narrow things down.

Firstly, formats that I like:

  • As I said, I prefer ~1/2 hour format
  • mono-tone monologue
  • Mild eldritch, with a sprinkling of demonic, horror
  • No breaks in the story, sponsor messages at the beginning or the ned, not in the body of the story
  • Light UK accent, but really, I just need to be able to understand what is being said without straining myself

On to some shows that come to mind

  • The Magnus Archives 4.5/5
    • As I mentioned, I just finished this one. I liked the earlier short story with a connecting overall narrative approach better than the end.
    • There were some other podcasts pushed at the beginning or end that may go on my list. As I recall them being:
      • The White Vault
      • Maleviolent
      • I just don't remember the others
  • The Black tapes 4.5/5
    • Yes, it too went a bit off the rails near the unsatisfying end
  • Tannis 3.5/5
    • I gave up on it at some point
  • The last movie 4/5
    • I actually listened to this while I was driving somewhere.
    • It was short and neatly tied itself up
  • Rabbits 4.5/5
    • It was good and tied itself up neatly at the end.
  • Old Gods of Appalachia, nearly a 5/5
    • Great monotone reading voice
    • Interesting story
    • I enjoyed nearly every episode (of course, I fell asleep during some, which I see as a good thing)
  • Nightvale 2/5
    • I hate to say it, but it felt like one long advertisement
    • Too much jumping around, even within the same episode

I am sure that there are a lot of others that I have enjoyed; these are just the ones that come to mind.

Any suggestions for bedtime stories? I am thinking that I might give The White Vault a try, Based on what you see, am I likely to enjoy it?

Any really good audio dramas in the sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural genres?

Let me know your top recs! I am searching for something that scratches the itch. Way back when, shows like Black Tapes and Tanis got me hooked but really good shows are so hard to come by. The only themes I’m not really into are zombies and monsters (though monsters can be involved). Some of my more recent faves have been Case 63, Ad Lucem, The Six Disappearances of Ella Mcray, Bridgewater was OK, Impact Winter was ok but got somewhat predictable. Undertow has some decent runs, same with Limelight.

[PAID] Looking for Artwork Artist – Sci-Fi Audio Drama

Hi everyone! I'm the Co-Creator/Showrunner of a Sci-Fi audio drama called Terrestrial Fractures which is currently in development. A brief overview of the show: Set in the early 1980s, Terrestrial Fractures is a character-driven sci-fi audio drama that blends government secrecy, alienation and identity, Cold War paranoia, and fear of the unknown. After a cosmic anomaly appears near a rural Air Force base, a covert military operation mobilizes and strange phenomena ripple through a quiet Kansas town – pulling together a troubled Air Force officer, a struggling single mother, and a group of teenagers who discover an unexplained arrival at the center of it all. As the military closes in, they must decide how far they'll go to protect the truth.

We're looking for artists interested in providing quotes for:

• Season 1 Poster Art (A primary poster design that would serve as the official key image for the season and be used as the thumbnail artwork across all eight episodes.)
• Promotional Key Art (High-resolution promotional artwork suitable for use on our website, social media, press materials, and other marketing assets)
• Character Art (Individual character illustrations or portraits for the principal cast members to be used for promotional and marketing purposes)

Inspirations include Stranger Things, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and Twin Peaks.

Paid opportunity. Release target for Season 1 is mid-to-late 2027. We're currently gathering quotes and reviewing portfolios.

If interested, please DM me with your portfolio, rates, and contact information.

Thanks!

Looking for audio drama creators to join a dedicated mobile app platform

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re doing well !!

I'm a software engineer and a hardcore fan of audio fiction and audio dramas. I listen to them while I code, work, or go through everyday tasks.

But I've always been frustrated by having to find this kind of format on platforms that were not really made for it, like YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, or similar places. On those platforms, audio fiction is always diluted among completely different kinds of content, and that never really felt right to me.

I missed having a place dedicated specifically to this format, where audio fiction was not just another thing lost in a general feed. That frustration is what pushed me to create DOOL: a platform built specifically for audio fiction, with a mobile app and a real community space around it.

And through this adventure, we've been able to build connections with publishers, authors, voice actors, radios, websites, and many individual creators who care about this kind of storytelling.

Right now, we work with publishers to adapt novels into audio experiences with narration, voice acting, music, sound design, and atmosphere.

But we'd also love to bring independent audio drama creators into the platform.

The idea is to build a dedicated mobile app space for audio drama creators and listeners: a place where creators can share their stories, reach new listeners, and be part of a community built around this format.

We're also working toward an economic model where creators can earn revenue from each episode listened to on the platform. The goal is to make every uploaded episode part of a fairer ecosystem for audio fiction creators.

So if you create audio dramas, fiction podcasts, or narrative audio projects, and you might be interested in having your work on the platform, please don't hesitate to contact us.

You can contact us at:

contact@dool-it.com

Subject line:

Audio drama collaboration

If you want to see the kind of experience we're building, here are three examples:

New Europa

A post-apocalyptic story set in a Europe devastated after the War of the Ogres.

Virgo

A dystopian story set in a theocratic world where astrological signs define every part of people's lives.

https://dool-it.com/artwork/4a5705ce-1286-4942-b32e-b92cca74b05a?lang=en

At Your Word

A school romantic comedy about a girl cursed to obey the words she hears.

And if you simply want to test the app and give us feedback, you can join the private beta here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3eNC66gi2RLPHmEz9-Hv8jub7mkE5gE2BhD3Zgv62iI14cQ/viewform

Your feedback would really help us improve the app, the listening experience, and the way stories are presented.

Thanks again to the mods, and thanks to everyone who takes a look or sends us feedback.

What audiodrama out there is like the TV show LOST?

I don't mean the "survivors surviving on an island" aspect, but more the "people in an unknown place slowly discovering its strange history".

Thanks.
