I've been blasting through a Magnus re-listen and it's somehow even better the second time through. I know some people like the mystery of it all, but I'm enjoying it knowing what's going on now.

One of the great joys of mysteries is going back and re-experiencing them once you know the answer so you can see all the clues.

I added Wrong Station to my playlist and I've tried to listed to episode 1 three times now I think but it starts and ends and everything between the sound starting and stopping just gets filtered out as white noise. Has anyone listened to this one?

One of my favorite things was the last season Q+A where they talked about fans guessing the twists. If the fans guess correctly, RQ doesn't see it as a weakness; it's a sign they foreshadowed properly.

I'm not saying TMA doesn't make sense or anything but the podcast doesn't resonate with me all anymore since it became nothing but metaplot, and it used to be my favorite podcast.

You're likely in the minority on that one. I think the metaplot is part of the genius of the show.

I can't recall the episode, but early on there was a name or something that made me realize I was hearing the beginning of a much larger world and story and I loving loved it. Nothing wrong with not enjoying it, but you are definitely in the minority.

theblackw0lf posted:Are you caught up? Yep. And it's a brilliantly done, brilliantly executed, ambitious podcast that also happens to have completely and totally lost what made me love it in the first place. Early on I would have called it something like a horror anthology podcast. Now it's a supernatural drama.

I feel similar; I still like it enough that I’m looking forward to season 5 but I’m not a big fan of the writing style between statements. I’ll give them major props for the execution of the 4th season finale tho. It’s not that I mind meta plots (so far I’ve been enjoying Old Gods, I really liked Video Palace) and tbh I LOVED the reoccurrence of the Leitner books and Mary & Gerard Keays in the 1st season. For me there’s a stylistic shift in script-writing/storytelling from the statements to the character dialog and I enjoy the former way more than the later. The way the meta stuff is peppered into the statements in the first season is great. But, for example, the dialog for Nikola Orsinov was so cheesy and over-the-top I almost bailed on the podcast. A lot of the characters we meet directly just spout direct exposition (c’mon, show don’t tell!!). I hope we never get a direct statement from Agnes Montague; only knowing about her from other people’s’ interactions is so much more interesting! The old statement recordings are great (I’m always pumped when I hear Gertrude’s tapes, and Mary Keay’s episode is fantastic), but sometimes characters show up and have a direct Q&A session with Jon (Jurgen, Gerard) or just “Mwahaha I’m evil and SpOoKy” (Nikola, NotSasha) and... There’s better ways to relay info to an audience. Jane Prentis’s statement works because she’s not explaining herself; that episode is just a stream-of-conscious insight into her mind at that particular moment so it adds dimension to her other appearances. This got longer than I planned, whoops. That being said I enjoy Magnus enough that I’m looking forward to the final season and I’m really impressed with how well they’ve followed through with such an ambitious story. Anything that goes full Devilman in the last act has my respect!

I'm looking for a serialized historical comedy podcast. Pretty open to period, but ideally pirates, colonial/early America, or medieval Europe. Is there anything like that out there? Ideally no sci-fi/fantasy elements. Going through the thread now, but I'm hoping to find something along the lines of Monkey Island or the colonial America parts of Day of the Tentacle, or Jack of All Trades or even that short-lived sitcom Making History—something comedy/character first, plot/history second, but firmly grounded in a real historical moment. Some adventure or intrigue element is a plus, but not necessary.

Not a podcast but the radio series Revolting People by Jay Tarses and Andy Hamilton fits that description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhW1gh_2GXo.

My one complaint is with TMA is that the converging storylines create a single layer of extradimensional horror. While I'm fine with things being connected, I really wish that they'd occasionally brush up against something that's like "oh no that's the varsity, we know very little about them and what we do is pretty clear do not investigate/gently caress with. Just back out of the room slowly and hope we don't draw it's interest."

Yeah they are pretty drat explicit about not wanting to mess with the Web/Spider since you absolutely have no idea when it's manipulating you for its own ends. They also do try to keep the Spiral at arms length since it is extremely unpredictable. None of the fears are represented as completely, utterly defeatable. Every small win they've managed has required sacrifice.

White Vault Artifact is good! It expands on the works building in a really interesting way. It's not serialized, and it kind of benefits from that fact. Worth the money, imo. There's a bit of suicidal ideation, if that's important to you as a listener, and it's also darker than the first two seasons. I also bought some stickers and one of their shirts, too.

He wants stand alone good stories like TMA but without metaplot. Stop being obtuse. I forgot about The White Vault and just listened to S2. Why did they just recap S1? Wtf lazy poo poo is this.

No, I mean S2, where they literally just play clips from S1 in an abridged version. Didn't even know about S3 until your post. Now I'm scared though.
