I’m drowning in a sea of audio dramas and I put 95% of the blame on Mr. Alexander J. Newall

Audio Drama Recommendations, Pt. II
For part one, click here. I went on another audio drama binge and I found some that were pretty fun to listen to. I usually tend to go after the ones that are completed because the longer the wait, the more likely I will forget the details, but this time I just went for anything that caught my attention. This also isn’t in any particular order.
The Magnus Archives – is a horror fiction anthology podcast written by Jonathan Sims, directed by Alexander J. Newall, and distributed by Rusty Quill.
The new Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, Jonathan Sims, attempts to bring a seemingly neglected collection of people’s testimonials of their encounters with the supernatural up to date, converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team. [COMPLETED]
It has five seasons, each 40 episodes long, as well as additional content such as Q&As, non-canon fan-submitted statements and one-off episodes that tie in with Rusty Quill's other podcasts.
It does start out slow and maybe at some point you’ll be wondering where is this going and what does some of these episodes have to do with the overall story, but it does all eventually connect. Your patience will pay off because once the build-up is done it picks up and things get really interesting!
Unwell – is a horror podcast starring Clarisa Cherie Rios and produced by Hartlife NFP.
The story follows Lillian Harper who has returned home to Mt. Absalom, Ohio to care for her estranged mother Dorothy after an injury. Living in the town's boarding house which has been run by her family for generations, she discovers conspiracies, ghosts, and a new family in the house's strange assortment of residents. [ONGOING]
This audio drama has five seasons which runs for 12 episodes. It currently has 54 episodes in total and each one is about 20-30 minutes long. New episodes are released fortnightly (biweekly) on Wednesdays. They take a mid-season break between episodes 6 and 7.
Bridgewater – is a supernatural thriller audio drama produced by Grim & Mild and by iHeartRadio, created by Aaron Mahnke and written/directed by Lauren Shippen.
Folklore professor Jeremy Bradshaw is pulled into the mysterious 1980 disappearance of his police officer father, Thomas, by new evidence that threatens to upend decades of certainty. Along the way, he’s helped by some unlikely partners who challenge everything he believes in, and ultimately tries to answer the question: can the past actually be rewritten?
Together with his father’s former partner, retired Detective Anne Becker, Jeremy must chase the clues that will tell him whether his father really did fall victim to a Satanic cult in the Bridgewater Triangle—or something much more dark and unexplainable. [ONGOING]
It has two seasons, the first consist of 10 episodes and the second has 12 episodes. Each one runs about 20-30 minutes long. Season three was put on hold when there was news of a possible television series. However, that fell through and by then everyone was working on other projects. So a season three, well, that’s pretty much up in the air.
It stars Misha Collins (Supernatural), Melissa Ponzio (Teen Wolf), Nathan Fillion (Firefly, The Rookie), Karan Soni (Deadpool), Kristin Bauer (True Blood), Hilarie Burton Morgan (The Walking Dead, One Tree Hill), Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Jonathan Joss (The Magnificent Seven, Parks and Rec) and Lori Alan (Spongebob Squarepants, Family Guy).
The Lovecraft Investigations -- is a mystery thriller/horror fiction podcast written and directed by Julian Simpson, based on several works of H.P. Lovecraft. It’s produced by Sweet Talk Productions for BBC Radio 4. It concluded with three seasons and each episode is about 25-30 minutes long. There might be a fourth season in the works, but even if there isn’t the series is considered to be finished.
The first season starts off with an investigation into the disappearance of a young man, Charles Dexter Ward from a locked room in an asylum. [COMPLETED]
It stars Barnaby Kay (Shakespeare in Love), Jana Carpenter (Doctor Who), Nicola Walker (MI-5, Unforgotten), Mark Bazeley (The Queen, The Bourne Ultimatum), Phoebe Fox (Eye in the Sky, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death), Steven Mackintosh (Rang De Basanti, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Samuel Barnett (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Penny Dreadful), Alun Armstrong (Sleepy Hollow, The Mummy Returns), Adam Godley (The Great, The Umbrella Academy), and so on.
Midnight Burger – is a monthly sci-fi audio drama about a diner at the end – and somehow the beginning – of the universe.
When Gloria took a waitressing job at Midnight Burger outside of Phoenix, she didn’t realize she was now an employee of a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with its staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar.
No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. Come by any time, we open at six. [ONGOING]
The audio drama currently has three seasons and each episodes averages about 30 minutes to an hour or so.
Rex Rivetter: Private Eye – is a 1950s-style noir detective audio drama written by Greg McAfee, directed by Rhiannon McAfee, and produced in San Diego, CA by Downstairs Entertainment with editing and sound design by Steve Murdock. The Rex Rivetter theme “Nightmare” by the Artie Shaw Orchestra is used with permission of Music Sales Corp.
The year is 1955. Tinsel town. The land of make-believe. It's a time of growth in American prosperity. Especially in Los Angeles. Here, dreams are bought and sold.
But there's a seedier side to the City of Angels, the shadows where pimps and narcotics pushers live, where organized crime stands just around every corner with one hand out, and the other wrapped around a roscoe. It's a city full of fancy dames and slick cons, where bookies know the vig, so you better, too.
Some folks call it noir or pulp fiction. But for a private eye named Rex Rivetter, it's home. [ONGOING]
It has four seasons and each one runs about 20-30 minutes long. Due to the pandemic, it is still unknown if season five will ever come out and so far there hasn’t been any news about it either.
Mansfield Mysteries – is a satirical, cozy murder whodunit written by Amy Henson, directed by Nicholas Hoyt and produced by The QuaranTeam.
It follows the inquisitive, martini-loving socialite Dorinda Mansfield and is set in quiet, affluent Berkshire Bay. So far it only has one season, which contains nine hilarious episodes, each three-chapter story finds Dorinda wrapped up in a new murder. With the help of her devoted daughter, Stacey—as well as the occasional frenemy—Dorinda digs for clues, navigates Berkshire Bay’s elite social circles, and sifts through years’ worth of grudges and motives. In this company town, no one can be trusted, and everyone has something to hide.
Whether at the Labor Day Extravaganza, the Halloween Tennis Club Open, or secret karaoke night, Dorinda sets out to find the real killer before they get away with murder… Just as soon as she orders her martini! [COMPLETED]
If you’re looking for a bite-sized audio drama, this might be for you. It has three seasons (or chapters) and each one only takes three episodes to complete its tales, which is fun, amusing and will keep you entertained while you’re working on something or resting your eyes.
The Call of the Void – is an indie science fiction mystery audio drama created and written by Josie Eli Herman and Michael Alan Herman. It’s produced by Acorn Arts & Entertainment. It contains three seasons of 28 episodes and each one is about 25-30 minutes long with a cast of about 35 actors.
In the bustling streets of New Orleans, a tour guide and a palm-reading outcast team up to unravel the mystery behind cases of sudden insanity besetting the city. [COMPLETED]
Wolf 359 – is a science fiction audio drama created by Gabriel Urbina and produced by Gabriel Urbina and Zach Valenti under Kinda Evil Genius Productions. It consists of four seasons with 61 episodes in total and each one is about 25-40 minutes long.
It is set on board the U.S.S. Hephaestus space station orbiting the star Wolf 359 on a deep space survey mission. The dysfunctional crew deals with daily life-or-death emergencies, while searching for signs of alien life and discovering there might be more to their mission than they thought. [COMPLETED]

also if you haven't listened to the Lovecraft Investigations you probably should, they are fictional podcasts about a podcast that investigates strange goings on, all of which are based on Lovecraft stories
the third series came out in 2020 but now we have a fourth so I am VERY Excited and have to go back and listen to the whole thing again and YOU can TOO by going HERE and you SHOULD
#the lovecraft investigations#oh boy i don't think i ever properly finished innsmouth because i didn't want it to be over#basically if you ever heard the Black Tapes it is a bit like the Black Tapes#only good

My favourite part of this background to how Julian Simpson came to write The Lovecraft Investigations podcast series is this:
This research was all joining up in unexpected ways (which has been the case for all the seasons so far), and the story kept expanding sideways, as well as back and forth through history. I needed someone to cover this stuff. I didn't just want to drop in bits and pieces here and there, I wanted the research itself to form its own narrative. I needed a character who could make that happen. I needed Dr Eleanor Peck.
Episode 7 of season 1. I'd handed in the script to Karen, and she was on the phone explaining, very calmly, why I had clearly gone mad. One whole episode of a new character monologuing the historical backstory? No action, no drama, just pure exposition? The audience would flee en masse. No one was ever going to sit through this. I had worried about this myself, and yet I knew that I found it interesting. I understood all the reasons why it shouldn't work, but I really felt that it just... Did. I actually thought it was the best script yet. But I knew I couldn't convince Karen based purely on a gut feeling. I needed a secret weapon.
"It's Nicola Walker."
A beat of silence on the other end of the line. Then... "OK, yeah, that would work."
Of course, OF COURSE it'll work with Nicola Walker playing Dr Eleanor Peck!

No one's gonna know what the hell I'm talking about, but I'm relistening to the Lovecraft Investigations in the lead-up to the newest season and Matthew Heawood refusing to abandon Ipku-freaking-Aya on the off-chance that Melody really was just a scared and alone young woman in need of help is... very sexy of him. I love him.
#lovecraft investigations#the lovecraft investigations#matthew heawood#yeah yeah I know at that point he doesn't really believe she could actually be ipku-aya#but the chance that she believed she was and was super dangerous was still very high#and he just took that risk because he's deeply decent

Attempting to create some kind of chronological release playlisting for the Pleasant Green Universe. Using the release chronology from Wikipedia.
Starting from the beginning, episodes are now mainly available on soundcloud.
Then we move to The Lovecraft Investigations on spotify (also still available on other players if preferred).
Then the two Aldritch Kemp series. Again I'm using Spotify and made my own playlist, but this is still on BBC Sounds etc.
That's it so far! Will add any new series that come out :)

I can strongly recommend The Lovecraft Investigations. Tis a podcast from BBC sounds, modernising and adapting Lovecraft mythos shit into the modern world, with a framing device where the protagonists are hosts of a mystery investigation podcast, which is the podcast we're listening to. The first 3 seasons are great Lovecrafty horror adaptations, but the fourth is that plus it fantastically combines the history of British fascism and the rise of the alt-right with Lovercraftian conspiracies. Fucking awesome.

Ok now hold on a minute!! I'm listening to Who is Aldrich Kemp and in episode 2 suddenly there's Kennedy Fisher?????? Who is the investigator on the Lovecraft Investigations??!! Does that mean that Ferdie's character in the Lovecraft Investigations (Slide, who gives tech and IT support sometimes) is ALSO ALDRICH KEMP??!!!!!
#I am losing my mind#i love these ridiculous podcasts#who is adrich kemp#the lovecraft investigations#sweet talk productions what are you DOING#ferdinand kingsley

ok guys hear me out. the left-handed Matthew thing might be like... Like a mirror. yk how your mirror reflection would be kind of like if you were flipped in 3d space? I think it's that. It might also be a reflection of Matt's more internal feelings throughout the whole podcast. like an outer exterior that's cool and collected and then an interior self that's about to lose their cool. I might be jumping to conclusions but that's what I think of personally.
Could also just be a classic doppelganger situation. Again, like in a mirror. I might just be stupid but again the left handed thing has me fucked up
that or Matt's a vessel for nyarlathotep or something idk

Eleanor and Matt are a cute idea but I also think Eleanor and Parker should pull each other’s hair.

Hey, fans of Julian Simpson's The Lovecraft Investigations podcast series, two bits of news from his latest newsletter:
A couple of housekeeping issues:
It has been noted that the first season of the Lovecraft Investigations has disappeared from BBC Sounds, Podcasts, Spotify etc. This is because the BBC's five-year license for the show has expired. We are currently in the process of fixing this, and hope to have Season 1 available again soon.
On a related note, we are also exploring the idea of creating a DELUXE CD BOX SET of the first three seasons. This would ideally be a limited edition release, with a whole bunch of supplementary material; pictures, maps, family trees etc. We're costing it all out at the moment. Watch this space.
Deluxe CD boxset of TLI?! YES FUCKING PLEASE!!!!
