The Magnus Archive has hooked me unlike any podcast since Limetown. And, naturally, the season is almost over  .

Just started Wolf 359, and I like it. The voice acting is good, the narrative stays tight, and doesn't have its head up it's own rear end, unlike Pacific Northwest *anything*. I'm 8 episodes in, but it seems each episode is a bottle episode; is there any overarching narrative that emerges, or does it stay a wacky slice-of-life style with occasional back references? No spoilers, please.

Did The Byron Chronicles ever end? I used to listen to it but it felt like I only got one episode a year. In other news I'm about to finish Magnus Archives today. I really like it but I want to know more about the setting.

I have a question for those of you who do podcasts. I don't have a frame of reference for how much a podcast costs to make so when they talk about how much they cost to make it's just kind of meaningless words. About how much does it cost to make a podcast?

About how much does it cost to make a podcast? I think it's more the time involved? Like a dude and they're friends spend a shitton of time writing everything out. The equipment, the really nice equipment can cost a few thousand dollars, there are cheaper alternatives though, and a lot of people seem to be able to work around it. If they book a professional studio, (so a guy does audio editting and everything,) They get charged anywhere between 50 and 500 $ an hour. Which is also crazy. They're not cheap, unless you don't care about audio quality, then you just drop 100$ on a yeti, and another 50$ on sound proofing a closet and record there. Did anyone listen to the Magnus Archives episode this week? It was amazing. And they got some legit laughs out of me too.

Does Sable ever start to make sense? I finished the first season and the 3 part interlude, and I can't say I have any clear idea on what happened. I couldn't really understand even how many sides there were to the conflict. I couldn't tell if it was alternate dimension shenanigans, time traveling shenanigans, or just hallucinations...

Synesthesia Theatre just launched its second season, a 9-part adaptation of the cyberpunk thriller Cold Reboot. This is an anthology series, so there's no connection to the first season's story, though we did end up casting a lot of the same actors again. If you missed it earlier, here's the trailer.

Good question. I heard most of the first season, and the interlude teaser didn't really appeal, so I dropped it. I think there were dimensional shenanigans and maybe some possession in one or two of the story threads. I didn't really expect it to gel into anything cohesive by the end.

sithwitch13 posted:If I can self-promote, Strange N Unusual. I've been voice acting here for a while and just joined the writing team. The flagship story, Friend of the Family, is a horror-comedy about monster hunting, family, and hating your coworker. There's also the Dark Files, a Twilight Zone-esque series of stand alone episodes we do once a month, and Letters to Asmodeus, an advice segment featuring a character from Friend of the Family. Necro-posting on this... Which character(s) do you voice?

I did want to ask what people's favourite podcast apps are though - I've tried Stitcher (ok but not great) BeyondPod (which I disliked and my phone hated) and have settled, for now, on Antenna Pod (it's the cleanest, easiest to use podcast app that I've found so far, at least of the free ones.) If anyone has any more silly sci-fi recommendations, please share - I've gone through the OP (except The Message, I just...couldn't get into it) and am all caught up on the ones I like...

For Silly Sci-Fi though, add Mars Corp, Our Fair City, Thrilling Adventure Hour (Sparks Nevada Marshal on Mars for Sci-Fi, but Beyond Belief is the best.) I hear Big Data is good but haven't started it yet.

My only complaint about Pocketcasts is the PC version is web-based and doesn't have automated downloads. I use it on the phone though. Grover Podcast for the PC. I just have to sync stuff mentally.

Apparently the only tapes that were stolen were the ones where she talks. I also liked Gertrude's unsettlingly conventional demise. Two more I've gone through: The Infinite Now - This is kind of a Night Vale ripoff, it goes for the humorous metaphysical. It's uneven and the episodes vary in length from 2 to 20 minutes, but I enjoy it for what it is. Bootlegger - Bootlegger is a radio drama using the events of World War II as if they occur in the near future with an artificial intelligence as the aggressor. Each week a ham radio operator gives an update to the events surrounding him. Unfortunately, the podcast has been discontinued without resolution; it looks like they didn't have enough of an audience to warrant the expense of making it.

I've been listening to The Black Tapes lately - just started season 2 a couple days ago. It's good, but not great IMO. The overall storyline's interesting, but I agree with most of the criticisms I'm reading here. Some of the acting is just painfully bad. Plus the Canadian accents are a little too obvious, especially when it's supposed to be somebody from the southwest U.S. or whatever. Also, I get the impression that they don't know very much about some of the deeper topics they address. Stuff like monasticism in Russia and Bulgaria, for example. There aren't too many Order of Saint Benedict monks there, folks.

It's Nic narrating instead of Alex. There's an early interview that has some pretty cringeworthy acting, but I think overall it's a superior show. I'm a recent adopter of both of them (started and finished Tanis before even touching The Black Tapes - and just finished that on the way to work this morning). I'm downloading The Magnus Archives right now. I've been a long time Welcome to Night Vale listener, and my wife and I really enjoyed Alice Isn't Dead. Any other good recommendations in the "creepy podcast" genre along the same lines of all these?
