There's NoSleep it's hit or miss though where some stories are really good and others are really bad. Skip any story by CK Walker

Pseudopod and No Sleep tend to have the same problem in that early on, they had a lot of quality work to choose from, but as time goes on and the episode count increases, it becomes quantity over quality.

It feels like with NoSleep the beginning of a season is strong the middle is blah and they end on a high note. The holiday specials are typically pretty okay as well

Farg posted:The beginning of every single episode and it NEVER matters and is immediately forgotten How much of each episode is recapping events from previous ones? I swear to god at one point I was sure that each 20 minute episode had maybe 5 minutes of actual new stuff in it once they'd played the title music, done the disclaimer about listening to all the other episodes first, had a bunch of 30 second long silences, trailed what was going to happen in the episode and recapped previous weeks in case you'd ignored them telling you to go and listen to the other episodes.

Is Tanis even making any money off it being pay to listen? I figure there's enough people interested in the nonsense or even just wanting to hate-listen but considering how long its been spinning its hard to believe that many people would spend money on it...

I would assume so. Those deals generally involve direct compensation, since it necessarily means any ads they run are gonna reach fewer people

Last episode of White Vault S3 is out. An old friend returns after being "rescued" by the Narrator. Things fell apart. Mixed feelings about this season. I know they had disruptions in production. There were a lot of pronunciation errors and differences in recording levels. Made it hard to suspend disbelief and called attention to issues with the actors' differing comfort level with English. I'm also very invested in seeing Simon die in a terrible way.

Faults not withstanding, the people behind this seem to enjoy what they do and put their hearts into their production. Now where's my Tanis/Last Movie to hate-listen

I really enjoy it, but the next season is where they either pay off all the mystery they've built, or go full Tanis and keep making palette swap seasons until the audience slowly melts away. I hope it's the former.

I'm pretty sure I got the recommendation here, but "Victoriocity" is loving awesome. It's a comedy detective show set in an 1800's steampunk London. The writing and acting are absolutely top notch and it's absolutely hilarious. The world building is great too, and I'm not even really a steampunk guy. https://www.victoriocity.com/

I've finally jumped on the Magnus train. Y'all are right. It's loving good. I'm up to the beginning of season three and binging while Earth is closed for business.

Has anyone listened to Call of the Void? I binged the whole thing last night (9 roughly 25 minute episodes), and it's very good. Kind of reminds me of Stranger Things.

They just put out a mini announcement saying their release schedules haven't been affected and they've pivoted to remote recording setups for the future. Also that they're giving 10% of their patreon income to arts charities but not to donate to them on patreon if there's any risk you can't afford it in the coming months. RQ seem to be good people.

Alex (the producer of Magnus as well as the man who plays Martin) did an announcement where the stated everyone is safe, they are taking the virus seriously, and they have a good chunk recorded already.
