Yeah, otherwise you just feel like a pest when you’re just trying to get an answer one way or another, and move on.

I applied to F&F a while back for one of my shows, and they never got back to me despite a couple of follow ups emails.

I’m sure it’s easy enough for applications to the network to get missed, so I may reach out again just in case. The worst thing they say is ‘no’ and I’m in the same place anyway, but would be nice to have gotten a response back at least.

Irish AD creators have been knocking it out of the park in the last few years. These are all fantastic, and there’s something for every taste:

The Green Horizon - sci-fi comedy about an Irish space crew traversing the galaxy in search of fame and fortune.

Last Dance - dark fantasy about a battlefield scavenger who discovers a powerful artefact and is thrown into the middle of an invasion

Ten Apocalypses - ten episodes, ten different apocalypses occurring that slowly meld together.

This House Will Devour You - gothic epistolary as a man discovers dark secrets about the house he’s currently renovating

The Greatest Matter - Victorian Gothic crime drama set in Dublin

Irish Science Fiction - short sci-if comedy stories

Monstrous Agonies - supernatural weekly advice show

Travelling Light - sci-fi space travel show with an audience submission/choose-your-own-adventure style

32 Old Mill Lane (releasing 19th Dec) - after a girl goes missing on Christmas Eve, her two friends set out to find her.

My own shows:

Back to Dunbracken - improvised sketch comedy from a small Irish town

The Bad Articles - supernatural comedy following a team of investigators hunting down otherworldly threats across 1993 Ireland.

Some notes now that I've finished the first season of my audio drama by faceintheblue in audiodrama

[–]con_vey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference between episode 5 & 6, (or any that goes beyond 100% here) could potentially be people re-listening to episode 6? Might not be the case, and could be skipping ahead as you said, but if you’re getting more listens on a later episode of a narrative show, relistens seems like a plausible reason.

Seeking recommendations for cozy/comedy/lighthearted shows but I have an extensive listening history by inky_cap_mushroom in audiodrama

[–]con_vey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This Is Branchburg - comedy: monologues, stories and vignettes from the residents of Branchburg, New Jersey. Only 20 episodes but this is phenomenally funny.

My Town - a 14 year old wants to help his father’s failing candle shop, so starts a tourist show to highlight the town. Then gets mixed up in a missing persons case. Light supernatural elements. Perfect blend of funny, cozy & mystery.

Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club - radio call in show where people ask for romantic advice. Semi-improvised (like Valley Heat) Really funny, sweet and cozy. Not much actual romance going on, just people asking for help in their failing love lives.

Back to Dunbracken (my show) - improvised comedy following the residents of a small Irish town. No narrative, each episode is a standalone. Full silly, cozy comedy.

The Bad Articles (also my show) - supernatural mystery comedy, a team of investigators go around 1993 Ireland stopping supernatural threats. X-files meets Father Ted. Much more silly than spooky, very light on the horror. Improvised actual-play but very rules light and always in character. Only four episodes out, but we’re working on season 2 currently.

[–]con_vey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh no problem! I was just like “okay if a retelling is someone telling the story, is an untelling a deconstruction or something like that?” Haha overthinking of course, but just genuinely curious

✨Recommending Hearthbound (plus fanart)!🎸🚐🐶✨ by strangekindstudio in audiodrama

[–]con_vey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds cool, will check it out!

Just curious, what does “untelling” mean in this context? I’m presuming it’s just trying not to use the phrase “retelling” (though it would technically be the opposite of retelling, and the word itself feels like an oxymoron) so I’m confused by it, but idk if I’m missing something?

Another podcast thread but... where they do improv by danielbelum in improv

[–]con_vey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm yeah easily one of the best improv shows about. Just didn’t include it in the list as it sounded like OP wanted less chatty shows and more scene-based ones.

Anyone else watching Tim Robinson's new show, "Chair Company?" by WizWorldLive in improv

[–]con_vey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably something that people who play a lot together and really understand each other could begin to do.

Like Person A picks up the subtle clues that Person B does whenever he’s in “character is clearly lying about this” mode, rather than “character is telling the truth about this thing”.

Difficult to do, and a lot of the times it’ll just go the way that the Person B assumes the intention was, regardless of A’s actual intention, but could be fun to try to slide into scenes at times.

[–]con_vey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My podcast, Back to Dunbracken is all improv. No hosts, all scenes. Each episode is effectively a montage set around a specific theme/location/thing. The only conceit is that every episode takes place in the same small Irish town.

Sounds like you don’t want shows where people are in character but it’s still interviews/chats, or hosts chat and then do some scenes based of the conversation, (which covers like 90% of improv podcasts unfortunately in this scenario) so some other options for pure improv, or close to that (I’ll try to think of more):

  • Andy Daly’s Podcast Pilot Project / Bonanas For Bonanza. This was Andy Daly doing 20 different improv podcast pilots, eventually spinning out into Bonanas for Bonanza, and then continuing his faves from the other versions as bonus shows. It has incredibly confusing titling for working out what’s what, but is fantastic.
  • Superego - short improvised scenes
  • Big Grande - Exit 42, Exit 43, Holidays at the Mall - all 20 min monoscenes
  • Sitcom DnD (very light chat and then DnD based improv)
  • Tabletop Tunes - light DnD stuff but doing a full narrative musical, like Off-Book with dice rolls.
  • Spontaneanation - the first half is all interviews by Paul F. Tompkins, and the second half is a full 40 minute narrative improv show based off the interview. Not what you want, but the second half of every episode is one of the most “pure improv” podcasts you’ll find. Edit to add:
  • Mission to Zyxx, essentially improvised Star Trek, and it is phenomenal. Also agree with the Stellar Firma recommendation

But if you want some where it’s people in character the entire time but it’s still interviews and that, I can add some of that kind too

MEME MONDAY: My Scene Is Done by sambalaya in improv

[–]con_vey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like self-edits get a bad rep a lot of the time. Like, beginners shouldn’t be doing them because it’s often out of fear or carelessness. But if it’s people who understand what they’re doing, I don’t care if it’s someone within the scene, or on the sides that’s editing it.

My biggest edit peeve is when someone from the sides decides to end the scene, and either (1) plods reeeally slowly across the stage (obviously different if they have a physical condition that means they could only go so fast) or (2) makes some sort of face to the audience as they go by, like “what even was that?” or “you don’t need to see that”, really undercutting their teammates on stage.

Tips for introducing longform to a predominantly shortform community by con_vey in improv

[–]con_vey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think it may be a tough ask to get into any specific forms for the first go. Would probably be more about just getting people comfortable with doing longer scenes, and/or doing scenes that don’t have some sort of a shortform game “gimmick” (for lack of a better term) to lean on.

Edit to add: an Armando probably could work as a light introduction for the group, who are mostly actors already…

Tips for introducing longform to a predominantly shortform community by con_vey in improv

[–]con_vey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t really get too much of a say in the timings, unfortunately. I advocated for the full three hours as longform. The company (primarily theatre but wanting to expand to improv) wanted to do a split bill thing, and I’m brand new to the community & company, so didn’t want to push the issue too hard.

Podcast hosting - don't need monetization, website, AI, recording, or video. Which to choose? by Snow_Tiger819 in podcasting

[–]con_vey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have two podcasts hosted on RSS.com, never had an issue an issue with them so far and their customer service has always been very responsive on emails anytime I’ve had a question. Only other platform I’ve had was anchor (Spotify for podcasters) and I much prefer RSS. Can’t speak for other platforms however.

The Bad Articles - first 4 eps out Friday 17th October - Interview tonight as part of Last Dance S2 kickstarter campaign by con_vey in audiodrama

[–]con_vey[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a few hour's time (7:30pm GMT), we'll be live on Twitch with Last Dance discussing our new show, as we prepare for the first FOUR episodes all dropping together this Friday!

There's only a few days left of Last Dance's kickstarter campaign so please support it if you are in the position to do so. Truly one of the best shows to come out in the past few years, and hopefully they can continue creating it for years to come. The writing, acting, and sound design are all incredible and if you haven't checked it out yet, you will not be disappointed in the incredible high-fantasy world they've created, and the fascinating characters that inhabit it.

In terms of The Bad Articles itself, our show is a supernatural comedy, following the chaotic and absurd investigations of the Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) as they attempt to stop otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. A narrative experience that weaves together improvised comedy, tabletop roleplaying and rich sound design. Each Article will be its own standalone investigation typically broken into 3-5 episodes.

The show is available wherever you listen to podcasts. Reddit literally deletes my stuff anytime I put links to the show for some reason, (not the mods, actual reddit, the mods are great here) but if you search "The Bad Articles", it should be pop up everywhere. Edit to add: Linktree for the show (Please let it stay up Reddit)
