Hughlander posted: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 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. Has anyone listened to The Leviathan Chronicles? Sci-fi story about a race of immortal people. Season 1 wasn't bad but then there was a huge delay for season 2 part 1 and I think we're still waiting on part 2. Edit: Oh, Leviathan is on hold because his wife got cancer and then passed away

My commute went from an hour's drive to a 4 minute walk so I guess I'm not listening to podcasts anymore.

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

Agreed, and made painfully clear how I feel about my different podcasts listening to one right after the other. Tanis: Callie doesn't exist, heh ok I guess. Magnus Archives: Wait WAIT THAT SCREAM, THAT OUTBURST! HOLY poo poo THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO SASHA

Arrhythmia posted:What's cool is this has been around since the beginning. Some speculation on why that is: I'm guessing we'll find out that all of the early statements are very, very relevant to the stuff that's happening now. The archives were "disorganized" so it makes sense they would start with organizing whatever is closest to hand - that is, what Gertrude would have had close to hand (but not revealing enough to take special care of) before she was killed.

Gave Magnus Archives another shot today and something about listening to it on the night shift made it finally click. It's loving great and seeing things connect because I'm marathoning it is great and the whole thing is great. Good poo poo.

Tfw you're listening to Magnus Archives and spending twenty minutes trying to remember why a name sounds familiar and it hits you out of nowhere like an hour later Podcast is so good even if I'm not a huge fan of some of the individual stories. I love this world they're slowly revealing.

If I'm understanding the final reveal of LifeAfter correctly, Sasha and co played a very long game of faking Charlie's death to get Ross into the program because he was involved in the FBI investigation into LifeAfter?

Just started listening to Passage. I'm enjoying it so far. Since it's only 7 episodes, I'm hoping it actually wraps up at the end. A podcast about a spooky mystery in the Pacific Northwest that actually has a conclusion would be nice.

I know this isn't the "proper" thread for it since technically its a non-fiction podcast, but in the lead up to a recent episode of "Tanis" Nic mentioned another podcast called "Astonishing Legends" that I started listening to and REALLY enjoy! They basically outline and analyze real world myths and legends, like Springheel Jack and the Oak Island Money Pit, or all the mysteries behind the Amelia Earhart disappearance and go through all the possibilities to find any kernels of truth in the myths. I've been bingeing on them lately and really enjoy their style.

Len posted:Is it better than Lore?

They lay out the story but focus on facts that have somewhat reliable sources. If and when they're out to tell a spooky story, they make it clear from the start.

Binging through Homecoming, it's quite good, I'm just curious if there's anything David Schwimmer is in where he doesn't play a huge rear end in a top hat.

Finished Passage. I enjoyed it - not going to be one of my top-tier podcasts or anything, but for a 3.5 hour or so self-contained story I thought it did a pretty good job. Kraps posted:Binging through Homecoming, it's quite good, I'm just curious if there's anything David Schwimmer is in where he doesn't play a huge rear end in a top hat. I thought his role as Robert Kardashian in The People vs. OJ Simpson was the most, if not the only, really sympathetic character in the show.

Now that Alice Isn't Dead is getting a TV show, I guess the "podcast as pilot" model is officially a thing? At least they're mostly making good choices (Welcome to Night Vale would not work onscreen).

OK I realize The Passage is really short but I'm nearing 3 episodes of exposition and backstory about things I don't care about and I'm losing my mind.

In regards to the audio quality, the success of their patreon has enabled them to get a new studio, so the recordings should start sounding better.

Also looks like Magnus Archives finally made the top 100 downloaded podcasts in the Arts section. #82, still way too low. But nice to see it gaining more popularity.

Arrhythmia posted:I just got to the part of Wolf 359 where they decided to tell a story instead of being goofy space time and this poo poo is tasty Yeah. The goofier early episodes work, but they really do a drat good job with the story once it starts as well. The humor early on really makes you like the characters before things start getting interesting.

I listened to ep 20? 30? or so some time ago, and the wackiness never seemed to stop Most episodes still have some comedy but the plot gets started in the mid 20s and big events happen in the 30s.if you already listened up to twenty may as well keep going.
