It's #AudioDramaSunday on week 2 of our crowdfunding campaign! If you want to support us we'd love you to check out our page:

That moment when you see a local legend and folktale, take a deep dive into it, visit the location, and it all weaves into a character's story so perfectly.

Trying the best we can to get on with season two of the wyrd side as Alex and I are obsessed with the journey these characters are going on (read: trauma), both in this season and our plans for later ones. Roll on a fateful encounter in the woods and a character we can't wait for you to meet!

If there is any podcast out there deserving of your support - it’s Hi Nay - a brilliant queer indie horror podcast with a Filipina protagonist, superb writing and lore-building. Please go check out the show and the fundraiser, and if you are able, support the show!

✨🔥THE HI NAY FUNDRAISER IS NOW LIVE!🔥✨ Hi Nay is a queer indie HORROR podcast about a Filipina immigrant in Toronto battling supernatural threats and rich immortal 1920s occultists. Now at 5% goal! PLEASE SHARE SO WE CAN CONTINUE IN 2025! ko-fi.com/hinaypod/shop #HorrorPodcast #AudioDramaSunday

You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do. The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.

Time for #audiodramasunday @theluchadorpod.bsky.social @radiooutcast.bsky.social @thewyrdside.bsky.social @thegrottopod.com @themodusfiles.bsky.social @thefringespod.bsky.social @legendbones.bsky.social @last-dance-media.bsky.social @intothedepthspod.bsky.social @morbidforest.bsky.social

Anyone can make a great fiction podcast. All you need is a Blue Yeti, some friends who are willing to speak nonsense into the record, some free editing software, a willingness to enter into a Faustian bargain with the dark presence in the lands beyond the shadows, and the gumption to make min 6 eps.

Hello all! We are Fawx & Stallion, an ongoing Sherlock-Holmes-adjacent audio drama/fiction podcast about the best detective team on Baker Street (not that one!) For more about the show, you can visit our website (224bbaker.com) or just check out this powerpoint we made! #224BBaker

Lots of new faces here, time for re-introductions! We’re The Wyrd Side, a fictional podcast following two paranormal investigators as they uncover the truth lurking behind British folktales, from stories whispered around dying campfires, to the unease you feel as you cross that stone circle… (1/2)
