So I found myself really enjoying Wolf 359 and I'm wondering if there are any recommendations for things close to that level of quality? The OP helped a little but I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Awesome, thanks. I'll give Girl In Space a shot. I don't mind Wolf's humor to be honest but I admit the plot is what took it from good to "welp, I'm marathoning this"

I am really enjoying Victoriocity which has a charmingly Douglas Adams feel to it. (Honestly if anyone has any recommendations for similar serial podcasts I'd enjoy hearing them.)' Edit: It isn't 'finished' but the seasons are self-contained..

One Swell Foop posted:There’s the radio show ‘bleak expectations’ which is a dickens pastiche with a LOT of daft wordplay jokes but they’re carried well by a stellar cast including Anthony Stewart Head and Geoffrey Whitehead, as well as a young Tom Allen (who does well in the role despite his more recent stand up/TV presenter persona). Not everyone’s cup of tea but some of the lines are incredible and ASH constantly cheering scenery is good value regardless Man I adore Anthony Stewart Head so this sold me super hard.

I wanted to like Ars but to be honest I ran into the problem that the cast sounded too samey to me. I actually had a hard time telling people apart or keeping track of them because the dialogue all sounded a bit too much the same and a lot of the voices (especially for some of the male characters) just blended together too much. It was okay in smaller scenes but once I was listening to a scene and realized I could only keep track of the protagonist I just kinda shrugged and stopped.

Len posted:I just recently went through all their stuff and the Nightvale in Space that Wolf 359 started as is definitely the weakest part. Once they found their footing and really started doing their own thing it got significantly better I just can't get into Nightvale. I tried the first episode and it just didn't grab me because it felt like "oh just radio" instead of anything with character. Does that change? In comparison Wolf grabbed me from the start because as goofy as it was it had character.

Azathoth posted:The overall format of Night Vale stays pretty similar, it's worth pointing out. They eventually start telling longer stories and then start playing with their format in interesting ways, but yeah, definitely pick something more recent. The creators make some recommendations here: Thanks! So it isn't Magnus Archives/Wolf style or whatnot where I'll be lost in a metaplot?

I can't say how glad I am to hear it ended strong. Last year made me kinda fall off it because 2020 was hellish enough for my tastes but I'm starting over now and knowing it ends appropriately makes me very happy.

I think for anything with Acast I just set my podcaster to skip the first and last 3 minutes of each episode and it becomes shockingly tolerable.
