A review of a podcast perfect for today* *if today was Halloween.

If the CW made a revolutionary war show in the style of the #arrowverse: My name is George Washington. After the war for independence ended, I became president. Now I must choose whether to continue for a third term. My passions lie in cleaning. I am George, washing tin. #Pun

Another review? So soon? The answer: You're god damn right.

New review for an audio drama about Moose, highways and the friends we made along the way.

Anyone else suspicious of CBS/Paramount as the one's hosting the #GoldenGlobes this year? The first year they include #podcasts as a category . I know the GG and CBS are separate entities, but the timing with Colbert and around a quarter of the eligible nominees being conservative-hosted pods. 🤔

This feels like they took several top podcasts on one or two charts and copied and pasted them after using AI to compose a list using all the data. Not a great first impression. goldenglobes.com/articles/25-...

Derry’s New Direction: Interstellar Marxist Travel The 13-part audio drama called "Derry's New Direction" shares a lot in common with "Parasite" directed by Bong Joon-ho and "The Hunger Games" franchise from Suzanne Collins. The common denominator between all three is the exploration of social…

My brain today be like... Ted: Why do you hate everyone? It's like you're addicted. Hugh the ocean animal: Because I'm a dick, Ted Ted: Oh the humanity. Hugh: You got a problem with manatees? #DadJoke #Pun

Arthurian Legend: The Extreme Dread of Mordred Another story from the anthology series, Secret Handshake Productions. This five-part look into the character of Modred from Arthurian lore does something the prequel era of Star Wars failed to do and does a fall from grace story right the first time.

Hearthbound: A Musical Odyssey Opening musical numbers can set the stage tonally (e.g. the song "Alexander Hamilton" from "Hamilton") and literally through the occasional line of dialogue thrown into break up the song (e.g. "No One Mourns the Wicked" from "Wicked"). "Hearthbound" does the same…

It's #TBT. Here's a clip from the 2025 Ambie Awards with Best #FictionPodcast category winner: Aaron David Harris from "Tales of Fist and Fireballs."

Thought this was one ad. Turns out it’s two. The bottom one is … well I’ll let you see for yourself.

Has anyone else conflated the books Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses? I was a week old when I discovered they’re two different books with two different authors. How different are they? #Romantasy #Fantasy

Treacle People: 90s British Humor for Whom? A product of 90s children's television in the UK, the "Treacle People" weren't a household name outside of England, Scotland and Wales. While arguably not as popular as the Muppets or other Jim Henson properties, the method of creating an episode was a…

In Media Res and Indie vs. Hollywood "In Media Res" by the Good Story Guild is a story where you think you know the ending. Everything up until that last episode is more or less what you expect. Told in five acts — with some complimentary material in the form of original music (Plus a coda at the…

Daredevil Born Again ended this past week, but the

I’m almost 34. For all intents and purposes, my porpoises are in intensive care. Tell me I’m wrong, spelling and grammar gods. Tell me I didn’t beat you at your own game.

Fiction writers. Any one discovery write their #fantasy world(s) more than they plan them? Curious to know if anyone else does or has done this.

Last day of Podcast Movement in Chicago. Thanks again, @greatpods.bsky.social. Finished watching a discussion called “Where do Podcasts Come From” with Neil Verma of Northwestern University and Julia Barton of RadioWright. Less birds and the bees talk then I expected 😉, but I got my book signed.

A hybrid review of sorts just dropped.

I need a laugh. Comment with some reviews you’ve seen online that made you scratch your head. I’ll start. Review on Amazon: This isn’t your grand pappy’s version a.co/d/2IQVqlt

With the recent Vulture article on Neil Gaiman out there, suddenly the scene in audible’s Sandman part 1 with distorted time and over the top sexual content unfortunately makes so much sense, as if writing from exp Haven’t read the comic, but if they wanted you to feel uncomfortable, they succeeded.

Nameless Chronicles Review A relatively new anthology audio drama podcast, The Nameless Chronicles' format likens back to the "Twilight Zone." For younger audiences "Black Mirror" from Netflix might be a better-known comparison. Some of the stories might seem to offer some insight about the human…

Scrooge and his Festivus Accident From the people who brought you the Flash Gordon parody series comes a comedic Christmas Carol. If you thought the traditional depiction of Ebenezer Scrooge was greedy, this satirical version of the character is a lot meaner than his book counterpart. He'd fit…

Purple Heart Warriors and The Nostalgia of History First a thank you to Great Pods for providing review copies of "Purple Heart Warriors" from the BBC World Service. I gave my initial impression of the first three episodes over on my substack along with a bit of background and behind-the-scenes…

If you say them a certain way, all medications sound like #Pokémon. I choose you, Xanax. Xanax used Alprazolam on itself. it’s not very effective. My morning brain everyone.

The dancing scene with the two leads from the #Wicked movie as far as I remember didn’t have a score at all. Unless you count my sobs and whimpers as music? If you do, where are my royalties?

If Frankenstein is the first science fiction novel, can Bride of Frankenstein be called the original Science Romantifiction? Science Ficrotica? Is there even a name for #Romantasy, but for science fiction?

PSA for Sound Designers - Christmas has come early.
