I've been listening to so much audio fiction lately. I know I'm not exactly on the right server for this, but does anyone have any recs? #AudioFiction #AudioDrama #Podcast
@blytherenay My favorite active audio dramas are:
- 90 Degrees South
- Unwell
I’m looking forward to more from:
- Within the Wires
- Midst
- The Strange Case of Starship Iris
- Palimpsest
- SPECTRE
- How I Died
- Girl in Space
Past favorites include:
- Wolf 349
- ars Paradoxica
- Badlands Cola (hopefully will do another season)
Hopefully there’s something in there you’ll enjoy!
@mrawdon I love this! Thank you so much!!
@ItzyG@blytherenay I really enjoyed Within the Wires. It's an alternate timeline story told through found audio. It's really fun. I also love Alice isn't Dead, which is a mystery road trip.
@ItzyG That's 2 people who've mentioned Within the Wires. I'll bump that one up in my list for sure. And I love a mystery road trip! Subjective Truth is a great little indie podcast that has a similar theme.
@blytherenay We've loads of recommendations, plus a list of recently-completed shows and new seasons coming soon with every issue of The End, the weekly newsletter that shines a light back on audio fiction shows after they've reached the finale of a season or the conclusion of the series.
Check out the archives on the site, or dig into the list of prior recommendations. All at https://theend.fyi
@theendupdates Sub. Scribed. Thank you so much!!
@blytherenay what are some recent ones you enjoyed? I can probably help recommend some more like those.
@horrificnathan I like indie stuff over high end production things. Listening to Forgive Me right now (and love Windfall by the same folks). Just got finished with Two Flatearthers Kidnap a Freemason and Less is Morgue was one of all-time favs, so I like the weird stuff. 
I love a horror as well.
@blytherenay let's see...
You might enjoy:
@midnightburger
Tiny Terrors by Cole Weavers (who also did The Town Whispers)
Desert Skies by Jared Carter
@wireland_ranch
@hellgatecity
If you wanna go a little harder into the horror, Harlan Guthrie, the creator of @malevolent, just released a new limited series: Deviser. It's really good.
I'd be remiss not to shout the one I work on with @Jeremy, The Storage Papers, but based on the ones you mentioned that may not hit just right for ya.
@horrificnathan Always happy to see a little self promo! Thank you for this. I'm going to queue these up to check out soon!
@blytherenay also @TheNightPost !
I really gotta try to reign it in. Let me know when you need more again lol.
@josephholsten@mstdn.social@blytherenay I’ve been a huge audiobook person since before audible was acquired by amazon, so I’m loving these replies!
Also, I should be on whatever the “right server” is for this.
@josephholsten@mstdn.social@blytherenay Oh, did you ever listen to ilovebees? There was a reorder of it put together that’s more audiofic style than the original arg: https://halo.bungie.org/misc/ilb_reordered/
@josephholsten You're blowing my mind right now. I have been a HUGE Halo fan in the past and I've never even heard of this. Perhaps because it came out just a year or two before I fell into my Halo hole. I will def be digging into this. Thank you!!
@blytherenay Blythe, you might try tagging @AudioFiction / @chirp.social to get some helpful replies.
@blytherenay I love audio drama podcasts!
Some of my favorites are:
- Wolf 359 - sci-fi space opera about a small research crew orbiting a mysterious star. Slow build plot, comedy that develops into drama, with some of my FAVORITE character development of anything ever
- ars Paradoxica - Cold War time travel story with some of the most interesting time travel technology and effects I've seen in fiction.
- Arden - a fictional "true crime" murder mystery, GREAT characters.
@blytherenay
- Greater Boston - a magical-realism/slipstream mosaic of a story about politics, ghosts, & building community - and the Boston subway system seceding to become its own underground train city. Brilliant characters also.
- The Pasithea Powder - sci-fi. Two friends, one a war hero and one a war criminal, reunite after a devastating space war, & uncover government secrets that put the fragile post-war peace in jeopardy. Bisexual disasters & a lovely slow-burn difficult f/f romance.
@blytherenay and some short self-contained mini-series that are excellent:
- Janus Descending - sci-fi/horror. The story of a two-person expedition to an alien planet and how it went so, so wrong. Lyrical narration, chilling reverse-chronological structure that slowly unveils what happened.
- Roguemaker - sci-fi mystery. An interstellar passenger flight gets sabotaged, and the passengers and crew, ejected into space in escape pods, have to determine who, and why, and what everyone's hiding.
