Also, this Rabbits sounded more like an episode of Tanis.. I feel like these two are a lot more intertwined than Tanis was with TBT.

I fully expected at multiple points for Eldfend to be referenced, and I won't be surprised at all if a more in depth cross over happens sometime soon. I'm confused why they thought this was necessary, the idea of some secret society ARG or whatever was fine on its own without adding kids with inter dimensional powers or whatever. It's a similar problem in TANIS where they have a good idea (or an ok idea) and feel it just doesn't have enough weirdness to it so they just start throwing more in haphazardly.

I'm not sure how acceptable it is to advertise stuff your own stuff, but I've been working on a serialized fiction podcast of my own for the last couple months.

The first episode was released today. You can subscribe on iTunes.

It's less like a radio drama, and more like an audio book released on a weekly basis, due primarily to budgetary reasons. I'm not going to ask folks to volunteer for something so time consuming, and I just don't have the finances to hire anyone else. So, it's an all me production, for better or for worse. It's going to be eight episodes total, fifteen to twenty minutes long. I'm open to any and all criticism, I'm planning a second season and I want it to be far superior.

Wooden Overcoats is a good comedy serial. It's about competing funeral homes in a small British village. (Well, I say small.. it's very nearly a town!) The neurotic siblings who have run Funn Funerals their whole lives try to keep afloat against the charming newcomer across the square, usually via some harebrained scheme that goes awry. There's 2 seasons released already, not sure if a third is in the works yet or not.

Enjoy yourselves!

Just found out there is a 2 hour Wolf 359 special available when you use some new app they are beta testing called "Spoke"! It will hopefully scratch the itch until the new season starts.

The Spoke app is in beta and hot garbage but the special is really good. The Wolf 359 folks have a good thing with their show.

Yeah, I didn't bother with the app, I just listened on my browser. It's pretty good, though.

Caught up on 'The Dark Tome' today. Framing Story for anthology stories. I'd rather they dropped the Anthology part and concentrate on the flame since I'm more vested with the characters there. Not great but better than a lot of things out there.

Does the audio of The Magnus Archives ever get any louder? I love the show but I often listen to podcasts at the gym and TMA is uniquely quiet, enough that background noise from treadmills and weight machines and stuff can drown it out.

Also, am I the only who thinks the hate everyone harbors for Hilbert on Wolf 359 is overblown? It's not like the others are exactly model citizens. Poor doc. I figured Eiffel would at least mention his real name during the funeral, but nope.

It gets a bit better, but it's still one of the more quiet podcasts I listen to.

Only because he's a fictional character, I have a lot of respect for him because none of the crew's speechifying works on him because he absolutely agrees that he's a lovely person doing lovely things, but he never wavers from doing them because his ends justify his means.

Is anyone a Tanis Patron? If so, how is the bonus content? I don't mind hearing Nic's ramblings but don't know if I want to spend money for it.

Speaking of Tanis, I really really enjoyed rabbits, but couldn't really even finish the first episode of Tanis. Is it worth plowing through the first bits?

I'm a fan, but its been spinning its wheels for a while. I think Tanis and Rabbits are much more similar than Tanis and The Black Tapes were.

Rabbits was shockingly focused compared to Tanis and The Black Tapes. Season 1 wrapped up in a surprisingly cool way.

No season 2 of Terms yet, which I would listen to despite the nonsense way s1 ended, because the quality is so high. I was thinking they could have had the PEOTUS shot just as he was swearing in, which would ground it more in reality and add another layer of intrigue.

I feel like if the beginning of Tanis doesn't get you, the subsequent stuff won't - in terms of interest, and especially focus, it has progressively less and less of a return.

Tanis has so much promise, but you can't solve the mystery because the podcast is over, so they're going to be perpetually spinning their wheels until they get bored of it and have some sort of ultra unsatisfying conclusion. Which really sucks. I genuinely like Tanis, but I think I mostly just like hearing Nic tell me stories.

The problem with Tanis is there was never really a mystery, just the trappings of one. It's not a journalistic investigation, it's a bunch of stoners constantly asking "What if...?"

Chairman Capone

Yeah, it makes me laugh when Tanis is always described as "the last mystery of the information age" because that's just laughably pretentious on its own, but the entire premise is that Tanis is connected to like fifty million actual unsolved mysteries that are still mysteries in the information age. But I agree with New Leaf, I liked just listening to it, at least when it was largely talking about stuff like the Voynich Manuscript rather than Nic wandering in the woods worried about a corporate conspiracy.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about Rabbits at the start, but the ending paid it off well. I almost hope there isn't a second series and they just put all of their energy into properly plotting out whatever the new Nic-starring Tanis follow up podcast they've been working on is, plus the final 6 episodes of the Black Tapes. I feel going back to the Rabbits well could only hurt where they left it.

Fully agreed. Can anyone start a new thread? Is there some rule about it? I'd be willing to kick it off with an effort-post describing all the major series I listen to, and edit in other people's write-ups for other series.
