Just FYI @podcast-bookclub.com is opening up for the next PodJam!

PodJam is a collaborative podcast making event hosted by PBC, where teams and individuals are given one month to create the pilot of a brand-new #audiodrama . If that sounds right up your alley, then you're in luck, sign-ups are live now!

If anyone is interested in getting into @theatticmonologues.bsky.social, the community over at @podcast-bookclub.com are starting their live listens on Friday! The community is lovely, I can't wait to see their reactions to the twists and turns in Nyx's tale #audiodrama #queerpodcasts #horrorpod

Next weekend we'll be joining the Podcast Book Club for their annual Audio Fiction Convention. This year, we'll be running an Englewood After Dark retrospective! There are a ton of other cool events happening too! So come join us! Tickets are free: auficon.org

HI NAY will be at AUFICON 2026 by @podcast-bookclub.com I'll be doing a BRAND NEW EPISODE for the Hi Nay liveshow as well as host the Voices of Color: BIPOC Representation in Fiction Podcasts panel! Jan 31, Sat 7pm ET for the Live Show, and Feb 1, Sun, at 1pm ET! #audiodrama #podcasts

Every New Startup: We are here to revolutionize fiction podcasting. We are here to give indie fiction creators the support they need to make their shows a reality. Fiction Podcasters: The money we need to - ? Startup: No, not that that.

one of the big reasons we're asking for so much money for Phantom Pulse is bc I want to do everything I can to make it a union production so my actors can potentially* get healthcare that I will also be paying for in part with the funds we raise with kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

Year two of PBC's #audiofiction Convention, AuFiCon, is coming up in the new year, and will be held from January 30th - February 1st 2026. It is entirely online, free to attend, and scheduled on a 24-hour timetable to accommodate as many timezones as possible. www.eventbookings.com/b/event/2026...

If you enjoy: - podcasts - conventions - the internet WOW boy do we have the event for you. Audio Fiction Convention is our very own virtual con for audio drama, hosting a variety of panels, games, and chaos.

Reposting again - we’ve got some great responses so far but it would be great to get as many as possible. Again any signal boosts to the call would be much appreciated.

If you’re an artist of color, you need to keep making art. Especially if you’re also trans. Our world needs your voice. In the face of increasingly hostile and murderous systems, this is what we can do. This is what we have to do.

Audio Fiction Convention, or AuFiCon, is a virtual convention for podcasting hosted by community organization Podcast Book Club. 30th Jauaryn - 1st February 2026, on Twitch / Discord.

Happy Pride! If you're looking for ways to support queer people directly this month, I would be so grateful if you'd consider helping me. I've been trying to get top surgery for years and I finally have a date next month. Any $ or just sharing will go a long way <3 www.gofundme.com/f/help-tab-a...

Hello, hello! Calling all audio drama enjoyers!! The Apogee introduction post has been uploaded to our tumblr. Follow to stay up to date on production updates, memes, and more. Bring your own snacks, though. [ www.tumblr.com/apogeepod/78... ]

While things have been crazy lately, I’m excited to release the episode @doodlespaulas.bsky.social and I made for @podcast-bookclub.com podjam 2025 in may “Solitary” is my audio drama writing debut! Art by Doodles

After a month of podcasting chaos, we've got quite the list of shows to check out for the 2025 Podcast Jam, with over 20 new audio drama pilots. Event participants are currently finishing up their episodes ahead of submissions, and we can't wait to share more info with you in the coming weeks!

I finally have my idea for the @podcast-bookclub.com podjam, and I am SO excited for it! Thank you to the PBC for putting on this event!

While we know (and agree) that nearly every podcast can qualify as indie, these awards were created hoping to highlight hidden gems specifically within audio drama, and is the reason we're changing our eligibility requirements.

The mods of the AuDIAs are incredibly grateful for the support and enthusiasm we've seen for this event over the last week since opening nominations - you all are absolutely wonderful, we've been amazed at the number of submissions received!

Due to volume of submissions, the Non-D&D Actual Play category will be closing on March 23rd. Slice of Life and D&D Actual Play will remain open until April 6th - unless they fill up quickly and have to close early as well, in which case we will give you plenty of warning. Go submit! audias.org

truly one of the funniest things about me is that I’ve wanted to get into voice acting for so long that I decided the logical next step was to write and produce my own audio drama podcast

Reminder that the categories for Best Horror, Comedy, Sci-fi, and Fantasy close TODAY! We will no longer be accepting submissions for those categories after 2pm CDT, so get your submissions in now! #audiodrama

Ahoy! I still need some spare voice for a scene in Rhapsody Of The Exiled! This is a minor volunteer part, unpaid, details below! We need as many people as we can get! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The final episode of Audistorium is now available. A man named Ethan reflects on his life in a conversation with a person called Dream. This has been so much fun, and I appreciate everyone who has ever listened and participated. More shows to come soon. open.spotify.com/episode/5Bho...

Despite our plan to have submissions open until April, several categories are filling up fast - Horror, Sci-fi, Comedy, and Fantasy will be closing on Thursday, March 20th! Thank you all so much for your incredible support and suggestions.

Today marks the launch of the crowdfunding campaign for In Every Universe, a queer, polyamorous story about 3 people finding each other over and over again across different genres, bodies, and lives. Donate as little as $2 for early access when the show releases! crowdfundr.com/ineveryunive...

The number of submissions in each category is soft-capped in order to preserve the sanity of our volunteer judges, who will be donating dozens of hours listening to these amazing submissions. "Actual Play" & "Slice of Life" will remain open until we have reached the maximum.

This #AudioDramaSunday please consider supporting us as we continue to crowd fund for season 2 of Englewood After Dark!

The AuDIAs got a mention in today's edition of PodNews! Check it out at the link below, & if you haven't already, head on over to our website audias.org to nominate a show, or to join the review team as a judge. podnews.net/update/podst...

On day one alone, we've hit 100+ entries to the nomination form! We've gotten a lot of great submissions for every category, and we hope to get a lot more. Feel free to submit your favorite hidden gem #audiodrama at audias.org/nomination-f..., or volunteer to be a judge at audias.org.
