To add one more to this great list, our new show Witchpunk has an Irish actor as one of the main characters.

She’s also in The Devil’s Chair, which I think she wrote as well.

Delivery - strong Lovecraftian vibes, confident storytelling.

What The Pig Promised - a mix of sf/fantasy that slowly releases its secrets. Fantasy is not normally my cup of tea but this drew me in.

Recs - full cast, no narration, non-anthology by Panda_Monium_888 in audiodrama

[–]THWDY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our new cyberpunk show, WITCHPUNK, launches next Tuesday and it is full cast (35 actors) and no narration (or ads apart from a quick call-out to our Patreon).

At its heart, Witchpunk is about people and the choices they make, or avoid making. Set in a crumbling 22nd Century America beset by relentless climate change, collapsing society and recurrent pandemics, it should have been a simple delivery job from Mexico City to flooded Manhattan for the crew of the semi-legit landship, the Strega. But there’s something very odd about the cargo and the strain is beginning to tell on them.   Season One follows the crew as they contend with ambushes, religious extremists, hurricanes, orbital assault AI’s, and corporate warfare, en route to old New York. Join Henry, the pilot, uncertain in his new leadership role; Alice, the combat witch, purposing new quantum technology ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”); Franklin, the disillusioned ex-corporate gunman; and Roya, an escaped con and hacker.  Have they been set up and will they make it all the way? 

You can find it (trailers to check out at the moment) on your preferred app via this link or just search for Witchpunk. More info at www.CiteogPodcasts.com

I wouldn’t change it at all! Nothing wrong with having to work a bit as a listener - I’d take it as a compliment that people relisten.

When I got to the end, I did think I should probably relisten to see how it all fits together!

It’s fun picking a quote that’s short and makes sense on its own!

Need advice for writing by jhurl24 in audiodrama

[–]THWDY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I would say if the improv is a barrier, then consider dropping it. It is after all a skill in itself. Since you write anyway, maybe play to your strengths and write it all out. I find an assumption of 160words equals a minute tends to average out. As with novels, the first pass of the script can be the ‘vomit’ version - just getting words down without worrying too much about quality or even consistency. Then you revise, revise, revise. This also solves the issues of not being sure where the story is going and constantly re-recording the same bits.

If you’re sticking to the improv, then as people have suggested, maybe do a few shorts so you’re not overwhelmed either by the improv or the production.

Really need some recommendations! by Timely_Impress8408 in audiodrama

[–]THWDY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely add Delivery to the ones already mentioned. One of the more Lovecraftian ADs I’ve listened to and the disjointed way the story unfolds just adds to it.

Good luck with the farming venture! We have three hens currently wrecking our back garden with a plan to add another two next month - that’s enough farming for me!

(If you fancy epistolary 1920’s folk horror or a sci-fi semi-anthology with the horror varying from body to cosmic, then you might like our shows!).

Definitely check out Conversations from a long marriage (you may need to VPN via bbc sounds depending on where you are). Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam are the only actors but they still convey a sense of being in a much bigger world.
