There's a wiki and there's an active subreddit. I've listened to all of them and I honestly need a good refresher myself.I'm on episode 45 of MAG, so I guess I'm around the beginning of season 2? I'm a bit unclear on that. Anyway, any good resources to refresh my memory on the overarching story? I feel like listening to creepy horror stories, but it's been quite a while since I've listened to this.
Simms at least feels more like a real person. Tim just seems like they needed a temporary red herring and then after he served his purpose they kept him around.Combative is better than Simms tho, who mostly just alternates between heavy sighs and incredulous "w-what??"s.
The Onion's A Very Fatal Murder might hit the same notes, presenting its absurdity in a straight faced mannerI asked earlier in the thread but didn't get a response, so I'll ask again:
The Beef and Dairy Network is fucking fantastic!! Anyone got any recommendations of similar tone?
Also QWERPLINE while I'm at it. God I wish that show was a regular one instead of once a year or never.

ever listen to knifepoint horror?On the hunt for some good horror.
I've checked out No Sleep, and it felt like it just meandered a bit too much for my tastes. I've listened to the first couple episodes of Creepy, and it's ok, but I'm just not a fan of the host. He sounds like he's falling asleep so his delivery is awful.
I've been listening to The Magnus Archives, which I'm digging. The Black Tapes got exhausting and I wasn't too keen on I Am Eskew.
Anything else out there that might be worth a listen?
Have you listened to Sayer? It's not completely horror, more sci-fi horror/sci-fi conspiracy/dark comedy but it can be pretty creepy when it wants to be. If you check it out, I'd recommend listening to episodes 1-6 before dropping. I liked it before 6, but episode 6 made me a fan.On the hunt for some good horror.

well my personal top-tier of horror podcasts* is magnus, eskew, and knifepoint, and you've split my opinions on the other two, so i guess we'll see what your verdict is on the third.I have not! Just added it and downloaded the first couple of episodes. Will give it a listen on the way home from work.

Fiction podcasts have always felt one step behind the culture. The audio drama's great and unexpected resurgence in this decade, thanks to the rise of podcasting's listen-whenever-and-wherever-you-like technology, has produced a cutting-edge genre that seems somehow suspended in time.
Maybe it's because so many scripted podcasts have borrowed from old radio plays. Or maybe it's because they've so often leaned into genre storytelling, leaving social reality behind to build fantasy worlds and unravel mysteries. The experimental sandbox of the new form has produced sharp plots and intriguing aural soundscapes but few stories that seem to access something bigger than themselves.
The moment that changed, for me, came when I was white-knuckling the pole in a crowded subway car, piping the pilot of the politically charged dystopian fantasy "Adventures in New America" into my ears (the premiere is on Sept. 28). I began to sense the world developing in my head as more immediate than the human crush of my commute. I felt something similar a few days later, running down the street and listening to the first episode of "The Horror of Dolores Roach" (Oct. 17). It's a show with "Sweeney Todd" elements that also draws in threads about gentrification and racist policing, and it was so absorbing that I missed my turn by three blocks.
Reporting back: A Very Fatal Murder was great.Oh good call, I keep hearing about it and then promptly forgetting about it. Will give it a shot.
I'm looking forward to AiNW for sure. Can't wait.The upcoming audiodrama Adventures In New America sounds really promising

And also I'd COMPLETELY forgotten that I'd already listened to it before haha.
Need more stuff like it! Gosh internet fill my needs!
I can barely understand half of what the Scottish guy says lolI also listened to it a second time a while ago! Still amazing.
I wish I could give recommendations, but I'm also looking for something similar. Your earlier post actually got me to listening Beef and Dairy Network, lol. I'm only a few episodes in, but it's very good so far. I'm not a native speaker though, so some of the heavy accents are sort of throwing me for a loop.
this was actually a disclaimer i allllmost typed up before recommending it to you. they eventually just stick with one guy permanently, other than one or two episodes that do multiple narrators. squinting at my podcast app, i think it's the guy who narrates the next one in line for you ("School") that eventually becomes the main reader. he's not super expressive, but he's a solid audiobookish narrator imo, especially for the most common knifepoint narrator archetype, "dude hurtling into a miserable situation alone."Listened to the first few episodes of Knifepoint and I'm pretty torn. The last two stories were very enjoyable (Eyes and Trail) and the ones before that were pretty ok. The one thing that's just really getting to me is the bad voiceovers. Even with different voice actors they all sound just unnatural, bored, and really feels like they're just reading from a script.
I'm gonna keep on with it because if the stories remain strong I might be able to overlook the voice acting.
What Happened To Pizza At McDonalds might be something. It's not fiction but it is satiricalI also listened to it a second time a while ago! Still amazing.

Was it in the vein of the SCP coaster?This week's episode of Creepy(Mayhem Mountain) was
Literally all the fears a person can have about rollercoasters rolled into one. What a damn good episode. one of the best he's done. Also, the creepy pateron is about 22 patrons away from bumping up the bonus episodes from 3 to 4. It's one of the best deals around for $5 a month.

There's some similar beats between the two, but the creepy one goes for a more grounded version. Focusing on things that some people worry about in real life, which leaves you with the feeling of "I don't want to go on a rollercoaster right now"Was it in the vein of the SCP coaster?

Man, this thread really dies when it gets moved to hangouts. Feel like i'm the only one who uses the Watch thread feature
The ads helped me try out some series. Dont think I ever listened to the trailers tho, just looked at the show notes. Theres a lot of holders, but he pretty much sped through them in a week. Im assuming he got fired from somewhere and had to crunch for moneymade it to the creepy episode "1999." kinda surprised i never read that one before back when i used to get lost in those corners of the internet.
scrolling ahead through the list, i'm kinda disappointed he's dedicated so many eps to the holders.
also the ads cut for the end of creepy eps are just so bad. if i didn't already know that I liked uncanny county I don't think that ad would have ever led to me giving it a chance. i wonder what great shows I'm secretly writing off based on bad ads.
i watch the thread, I just don't post a lot. figured this didn't need to turn into my personal magnus archives fanboy station.
edit: wait we're not in hangouts i guess?

Guys!! Have you listened to the newest episode of king falls am? Lily wright chronicle?!! Damn. The truth has spoken!!
I may miss this part, but
Is it told in that episode what happened the beauregard's children in perditian wood?
Ya, it's a bit annoying how it's only labeled as early release instead of having the story title there. I'm sure if you bring it up with him he might change it.I've also been on the Creepy patreon for 2 months, it's worth checking out, although I'm not a fan of how he catalogs his stories.
It largely depends on what you didn't like about it. I really enjoyed it myself actually.Did anyone listen to The Horror of Dolores Roach? Honestly, I found myself turning it off before the end of the first episode. Does it get any better?
We hear about the aftermath but I don't recall them saying exactly what happened other than it was an accident. Great episode, though.Guys!! Have you listened to the newest episode of king falls am? Lily wright chronicle?!! Damn. The truth has spoken!!
