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.

...I just realized, I was totally wrong about the Order of Saint Benedict w/r/t Eastern Orthodoxy - it's just a different Order of Saint Benedict, ie: not the Catholic one.:downs:

Listen to Limetown for sure. it was recommended to me in the Night Vale thread

Yeah, it's genuinely superb. Much better acting than Black Tapes IMO.
