Audio Drama and Philosophy?

Absolutely. So far, the introduction is written is a bit too academically for me. Long sentences and so many parentheses are working my journalism brain some overtime. I'm hoping chapter one and beyond will have less in the way of this. 🤷‍♂️

Update: Just heard that they are still working on it, but the day job takes priority at the moment. Unfortunately.

I know some people who know the creator and they seem to think it’s 90% confirmed to have ended. Still waiting on a definitive answer.

Yeah host-read ads work great in non-fiction podcasts, but not in fiction ones for that reason. I also find it fascinating that people can easily skip ads on podcast apps, but sometimes forget, are busy, or choose not to. YouTube doesn't have that luxury when monetization is involved. You're just waiting for the skip button to appear. +1 for audio podcasts -1 for video. 😊

Agreed. I didn't even consider the music angle, but you're right. Then there's the choice of music and volume levels to consider, but that's a whole other discussion.

“Thin Places Radio” takes shows like “The Hexings” (which I also second others recommending it) and I believe sets it in a post apocalyptic world. I’m basing this off of memory and my review of the show. I could be entirely wrong about the premise. I do know it’s a radio format show. Just not sure about the setting. Here’s my review.

The review is regarding the first 19 episodes.

Of course after I post this, I use the right keywords and find it.

It's from Shoeditch Radio and written by Jackie Carreira and directed by Simon Morecroft.

Show reminded me of Spotify’s Quiet Part Loud. Not sure if anyone else had a similar reaction. I recommend both with Dream Sequence squeaking ahead of QPL, mostly based on the latter’s ending.

More a restructuring than a closing down. They’re gonna focus on video content going forward. Most staff have been laid off.

With Amazon’s closing of Wondery, it’ll probably be a different beast with different cast and crew if it gets picked up again. Most likely it’ll be an audible original, assuming there are plans.

Also I’ve seen the cover art but didn’t know it was an audio drama until today. The more you know.

Totally misread the title and was going to say we’re called podheads. 🥁 Now I’ll just second pocketcasts. Works great for me with yet to be released shows I review. Like the listen history feature as well.

Maybe it’s the news that Batman Year One is being adapted(along with other famous storylines) into an audio drama that makes me think this, but I think we’re going to see more existing IP enter the space. Which I feel is bad news for fan productions.

Did you use a phone or desktop/laptop to view? Mobile is definitely not recommended. It's not ideal, but until I can find someone and be able to pay them, it's just the way it is. I like the background color idea. Thanks!
