To be clear, I'm definitely not looking for actual Star Wars radio dramas, just stories of that ilk—the sort of space opera / space Western nonsense. Eos 10 looks interesting, from a quick listen may be a tad goofier than I was looking for but I'll give it a shot.

if you're against goofiness then this may not be your bag but spacetripper!! is loosey space opera poo poo, it's about a guy who quits his job and sells all his poo poo to buy a spaceship and determines to odd-jobs finance his way around the galaxy while recording everything that happens as an interstellar podcast, but each episode for the most part is self-contained adventures and the throughline is just him networking and occasionally calling back to old friends from past planets there's also we fix space junk, which is about space repair workers who are basically indentured to a planet-size corporation called automnicon which sends them to do repair jobs to slowly pay off the debts that put them into indentured servitude in the first place. very dry humor but it gradually builds out its story and world in a compelling way

Those both sound very fun. I'll reverse course on that, definitely open to goofy.

yeah goofy maybe isnt the right word for spacetripper, it's just very earnest in a way that can be jarring. the protagonist is basically the equivalent of a golden retriever in that he is basically permanently smiling whenever possible and every new planet is just as thrilling to him because he's just that jazzed about getting to travel in space

Here's a list in no particular order: Among the Stars and Bones EOS 10 Girl in Space The Hyacinth Disaster Mission to Zyxx Moonbase Theta Out Oblivity The Orphans The Penumbra (only half of this is sci-fi, the Juno Steel stories, the other, Second Citadel, is high fantasy and unrelated) Stellar Firma The Strange Case of Starship Iris Tides Vast Horizons Vega Wolf 359

The Silt Verses has just started Season 3 of 3 and this is genuinely the best soundscaped podcast and the most richly imagined world I’ve ever listened to. I don’t know if it’s been recommended recently but I hands down recommend it to you all. It’s set in an earth where gods are created by human thought - pay too much attention to the lightning, spend too much time hoping the river will give you bounty and a god will appear - and a god must be fed. In the modern era gods have become commercialised and deliberately manufactured by corporations (eg, a god of abundant crops that started life as a cereal box mascot) and in the process many of the old traditional gods have been banned. The story follows several intertwining strands: a pair of cultists from a brutal and outlawed river faith looking for signs of other worshippers; a mediocre cop hunting outlawed faiths; and a woman who works in an advertising company that manufactures new gods for corporate clients. This isn’t one of those shows where you have to listen to a dozen episodes for it to find its groove - episode 1 starts off strong and if you’re not into it by the end the show isn’t for you.

Caveat: Episode 1 needs to be listened to in a very quiet place because the first 5 minutes of dialog was incredibly hard to hear otherwise. I don't remember that being the case much beyond that. Also Silk Verses is top 3 of still active fictional podcasts and was done by part of the team that did I am in Eskew, but it has a planned story and just feels more put together.

Well, Terry Miles suddenly announced the release of his new audiobook sequel to Rabbits that he wrote for some reason. Also, there will be 2 more seasons of Tanis and 1 more season of Rabbits (again, why??). Anyway I don't care about Rabbits anything but don't mind dosing off gently to more Tanis.

Azathoth posted:someone needs to politely sit him down and tell him that he needs to play with the toys he already got out instead of getting more of them from the closet What else is still out? Wildflowers is done, Black Tapes is done. The Last Movie never really felt like it was going anywhere but I guess could be seen as open. Rabbits Season 2…I thought that wrapped up but honestly couldn’t really tell you if it ended. I guess Faerie seemed to obviously leave things out there waiting to be resolved.

Rabbits is the only one of those that had an actual decent conclusion and not an episode or two that hastily wraps things up, though I haven't gotten to Wildflowers. Everything else was pretty obvious he had no idea where anything was going.

I bounced off of all of them after the Last Movie and don't miss it at all. I also bounced off of that more R rated version of Rabbits someone put out when I read spoilers that it never really goes anywhere either. Man so much bouncing! I think only things of that nature that I've liked lately is What Happened in Skinner because it told a story and then it left you alone.

Black Tapes revised the season 3 description sometime after it ended to it being the mid-season finale. But that was January 2020

It's just about 6 years since season 3 ended and I think Paul Bae has been trying to get things going in Hollywood without much success. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2314509/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

And he’s back to the stupid “I’m Nick Silver, really” bit. But I guess that’s woven into the fabric of Tanis and despite the broader success of Rabbits, Tanis is probably the closest things to a PNW flagship.

Only the Black Tapes and season 1 of Rabbits had a conclusion. As for Tanis, I don't want a conclusion, I'm fine with this continuing forever without any ending E: Probably posted before but still fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13UVN1CP-08 Sekenr fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Oct 6, 2023 |

so i finally got around to listening to Unseen and while I knew going in it was going to be an anthology I probably shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for it to have more connective tissue than it ended up having. i liked the world and some of the concepts but it just felt really disjointed at parts and i found myself wishing that we'd met some of these characters across a more direct plot throughline rather than bouncing between concepts like pinball lol not sure im gonna give the holiday specials a listen tbh, the quality itself is obviously stellar but idk. i like longform stuff more

Honestly i thought unseen kind of blew, for the most part. I enjoyed it well enough but overall it felt like a waste of potential. Like, the thing they did was a great little bit of world building, just a nice foundation for an actual story, which clearly folks are clamouring for given how their Patreon went, but instead they gave us a bunch of mostly disconnected vignettes that didn't amount to anything. I get why they might not want or be able to commit to another long form story like Wolf 359 but as a "follow up", it just reminded me of how good Wolf 359 was and how insufficient Unseen turned out.

Like, I liked Zero Hours, but the way it was set up still felt like a compelling story from start to finish in the vein of stuff like, of all comparisons, Live a Live. But this felt like I was only able to look through a small hole into a room that admittedly was very vibrant and compelling, but I couldn't stop feeling like the best view of the room was out of my line of sight

In terms of comedy: Beef and Dairy network Podcast. Funnier than it has any right to be but around episode 50, I feel like the author is slowly going insane about beef. St. Elwick's Neighbourhood Association Newsletter Podcast. Feels similar to beef and dairy podcast except not obsessed with beef

It's a preview first episode, apparently it's not got the finalized script and soundscapes I just finished my relisten today and the fifth season is good in theory but I wasn't too keen on the execution. I can't quite explain why but most of the statements just fell flat for me and I cared more about the cast dealing with the apocalypse than I did people suffering in the various domains

I did like the final season of Magnus for the most part, but I was disappointed by the ending when John decided to release the fears into another dimension instead of trapping them forever to stop them spreading. I don’t know, it felt like a betrayal of the entire conceit of how once you traumatise someone, you can’t just snap your fingers and make the trauma vanish, they just have to keep on living and coping with the results. Having a happily ever after where all our side characters talk about the world moving on, free of their curse, just felt shallow. (I just want a good tragic ending)

I caught up on s2 and I absolutely love the new god of martyrs Hayward and Paige birthed. I couldn't think of a better way to starve the War Gods and keep victims from being Hallowed into Saints and Angels. I've only listened to the first episode of s3 and I'm already excited to see what happens with the new Saint(?) of The Last Word. Google Jeb Bush posted:I also finished s1 of Tales From The Low City.
