I thad such potential and the early ones that were in media res and then trailed off without a denouncement were so good. I honestly care nothing about the Emily story line and it just drags the show down. More things like Jack in the Box Jesus. (The Burger King of Kings)

Does anyone know anything about "Darker Projects"? They're a weird group that seemed to have been really really active before Serialized Podcasts hit it off, (Most their stuff seems to be 2007 to 2009.) But they have this annoying rear end habit of releasing 2-3 episodes of something, on the same day if the RSS feed is to be believed and then dropping it. I only heard of them from people talking about The Byron Chronicles which was ok in the first few seasons but went to poo poo after that and apparently they're still making new ones. But for some of these older ones like 'Generation One' were there really just 2 episodes produced, released on the same day, then given up on? WTF? Or Far Horizon, 6 episodes and it just peters out...

Len posted:I only listened to Byron Chronicles which was like you said pretty okay and then hit this horrible rear end thing where there was like one episode a year and I lost interest. But that does seem to be the case for them. Yah, and you heard exactly when they discovered Leviathan Chronicles... My problem was also just inconsistent writing like Byron goes from hopping out a plane and being action boy, to falling out of a building and being human for 9 months

Jurgan posted:I just finished season one. I wish the audio quality had been better, as I could barely hear a lot of the dialogue during the attack on the archives. It was nice hearing Jonathan gradually transition from a soulless recording machine to a human being with emotions. So glad for the $10 Paterson reward, the transcript came in today!

I've spent the last two seasons hearing David Schwimmer and his name and in my mind's eye just picturing David Cross. I'm not sure I want to change this.

HIJK posted:TMA's second season is definitely good. I would actually agree with the referenced Redditor who thinks it focuses too much on the meit taplot though. It shortened the creepy one shot stories and the quality suffered a little bit, especially how the main threat gets nerfed in the season 2 finale. I don't believe we even know what the main threat is. Also not sure what season 2 finale part changed any of the threat at all. !Sasha was imprisoned before the finale and isn't dead is just weakened. Leitner was never the threat. Season 3 is going to be an awesome Jon Roadtrip I hope!

I went back and looked to see what your minor annoyances and reasons for burn out where for TMA and don't see any details. What are they specifically?

Len posted:Has The Bunker been brought up yet? It's 12 episodes long set in a post apocalyptic Earth. The premise is that there's three survivors from before the big headache who are putting on a radioshow for the wasteland. There's plenty of dark humor but I enjoyed it. They put out another podcast called MarsCorp but I haven't started it yet, I just finished The Bunker last night. I think so, but you're in for a treat. Definitely Human is one of my favorite troupes. MarsCorp is even better than The Bunker. I think they plotted it out tighter ahead of time. I can't wait for their next thing. (I skipped their Actual Play TBH)

[quote="“pop fly to McGillicutty”" post="“477109574”"] I just listened to Archive 81 in the span of three days and I can’t believe it isn’t getting more love. Oh well, lean in while i hum this melody to you. [/quote] As it came out people were really really down on the second season. I personally really liked it but wasn't sure about the tone shift for the first three episodes.

The guy who does Small Town Horror has an anthology podcast called Creepy which is just him reading Creepy-Pasta. It's ok, but this year they did '31 days of horror' with daily drops that was kinda cool, including a Slenderman with SomethingAwful shout out.

Jurgan posted:Except that the PNWS creators already have a track record of indulging in their bad habits. I think everyone here agrees the worst impulses of that group are the tendency to stretch out stories too long and to go off on weird tangents that have little to do with the main plot. Then you see someone say exactly that to them directly and be told that they're losers who need to get a life. That pretty much confirms that they're not trying to improve themselves as creators, they're instead going to double down on their biggest weaknesses. Honestly what I liked the most about Rabbits was that it was a self contained story that finished what it set out to do and didn't need anything more. A "Season 2" just detracts from that.

StrixNebulosa posted:Rabbits as a show isn't bad, but the main character is an idiot who doesn't act like a normal human being. She lacks empathy, is rude, etc. I got really frustrated with her and the mystery, but I kept listening because it was short. Isn't that every PNW main character? Hey whoever it was that was part of 'Synesthesia Theater' are you doing anything else after the 2nd story? Sorry can't even remember what it was called.

Permotriassic posted:So, as someone who would like to make radio drama-type stuff at some point, does it really cost that much to make or what? Between Kickstarter, Patreon and all of those ads, sheesh. I looked at the list of things they had to pay for and it seems like PNWS is either getting fleeced somewhere or I'm profoundly ignorant of the costs involved. Probably that it’s several people trying to make it their full time job in two of the most expensive cities to live in in the world. (Seattle and Vancouver BC)

Meinberg posted:I hope that King Falls isn’t ending. I don’t think it’s great, but it’s an enjoyable enough show and ending where it is now would feel incomplete. I can definitely see this as a start to a new arc, and perhaps a way to help invigorate the show, which has gotten a bit stagnant and “wacky.” It ebbs and flows. It was better before it was serial. When it started it was here’s part of a weird story but we’re going to cut out before there’s resolution. The whole “Emily arc” was the low point for me. I didn’t come for weird relationship drama I came for Jack-In-Box Jesus the Burger King of Kings. Or the werewolves maybe molesting the dog breeders household.

Chairman Capone posted:What was the ending to Ars Paradoxica? I kind of lost interest a year or so ago, but am curious how it all wraps up. Few more episodes I think 2 groups of 6 or 8 during 2018 to wrap it all up. I loved first season of Ars Paradoxical but don’t think anything since has been as good. It may be because I binged it and then caught up.

Basic Chunnel posted:I’m 34 episodes into the Magnus Archives and while I’m wary of the steadily growing metaplot, their hit-to-miss ratio is still really impressive given their output. Also I usually burn out on podcasts due to their length and sprawl, and certainly up to this point they’ve had many, many opportunities to become indulgent that they’ve passed up to keep things tight and disciplined (the studious commitment to Lovecraftian storytelling format helps). Make sure you're looking at the date of publication there too if you want to be really impressed. They were daily for awhile, then 3x/week then 2x/week then weekly. They really really cranked them out.

sexpig by night posted:same reason the reddit (and let's be honest, SA when we had them) writing prompt communities in general devolved into shitheaps. The community quickly globs onto early successes as if they're the 'rules' for what makes a good story, because the community is based on community feedback and praise it becomes a constant arms race to ape the current successes without overtly copying. Reddit has always had a fascination with 'mature' being Eli Roth style gore/shock fests so their horror stuff revolves around being grown up big boy horror not stupid 4chan creepypasta, and you become big boy horror by having someone skullfuck a baby and the twist is the monster was trying to STOP the baby skullfucking did your mind just get BLOWN at that?! I only know those from the Creepy podcast, but isn’t Jeff the Killer just Batman fanfic with the serial number filed off? Jeff being the Joker?

I warmed up to S2 and I like it more than S1 now. It is a huge swerve though. I also saw last night an S3 trailer dropped. I kinda like those guys they're not great but they're putting a lot of effort into it and are improving. (I'd rank them over Liberty, about the same as Kakos, but under King Falls if that helps at all.) And oh god I listen to too many podcasts. If you want a recommendation for serialized horror though Spines gets way way way too little love. S1 of it is pretty much perfect.

Arrhythmia posted:Man, did anyone else think that season 4 of the Bright Sessions was a major let down compared to season 3? Damian's home invasion and everything happened after was some super tense, powerful story telling, and then season 4 felt like it just forgot to have a conflict. Unfortunately I think S3 is the climax and S4 is the falling action introduction to the spin offs.
