I want to mention a bunch of things that are in Hi Nay to see if people would be interested in listening to it
Creepy priest gets turned into a human puppet by a non-binary magic user surgeon in the 1940s
Romantic full body surgery
Queer detective duos where one is an effervescent smartass and the other is Very Repressed (1980s and 2020s edition) and one is hopelessly in love with the other one
5 foot tall fat pansexual WOC protagonist (cute, terrifying) who canonically left the Philippines during the Duterte presidency
Drippy Bloody Monster Husband Crawling On The Walls (his wife is an Instagram influencer)
1920s interracial lesbian couple
Villain literally named Mr. Realman
Fake conman guru offended to find out his magic is real actually
6 foot 2 strong armed lesbian protagonist who sometimes wields an axe
Wandering magical hobo who saves people from The Horrors (what is his secret)
Elephant sized wolves living in the mountains of Canada who will sometimes bite the heads of human predators
A musical episode
"I assume this character is queer because this is Hi Nay" - one of our listeners

How scary is the show? As a fellow Canadian and lover of ADs, Hi Nay has been on my radar for a while, but I've hesitated because I'm not generally a big fan of horror. I can handle some, but don't like being terrified. What level would you say the show is at, from "cosy listening" to "will give you nightmares"? Thanks! :)
I like to compare the scary levels of Hi Nay to that of the series Supernatural - the first three seasons are properly spooky, but then as it becomes more plot driven it's less straightforwardly scary and more horror fantasy.
In Hi Nay, we do some spooky sound effects here and there, but I don't think we'll give anyone nightmares~ I'd say, if you've listened to the Magnus Archives, that we're just a bit scarier than that SFX wise, but only for a couple of episodes. The scariest we get are Episode 1: Bulok (Rot), Episode 12: Pagbigti (Hanging), and Episode 25: Talikuran (Turn Your Back).
Each episode has extensive trigger warnings to help people decide what they can handle content-wise.
Most of the rest of the series isn't too spooky, though some may be conceptually scary. But I'd love to hear other listeners chime in as well about how spooky you all think Hi Nay is!
People call us cozy listening regardless of all this, but I think that's because of our characters 😊 They have a fantastic and compelling relationship, and they add a level of comedy and warmth that helps combat the scares.
Tl;dr It might help to listen to us in the daytime for some of our episodes, but the overall experience isn't just all scares, and I hope you get to listen and enjoy anyway!

Re: Dracula is ruining me for audiobooks. The background music adds such drama to the reading that just hearing a narrator on another book feels like it's missing something.

So last year I started listening to Hi Nay and then I took quite a long break. Went back to it today and I fear I have forgotten a lot of the details... Is there a recap of the first 26 episodes, Act I? Season 1?

"I'm still deciding whether to listen to The Silt Verses or Malevolent or Hello From The Hallowoods or relisten to TMA again, what do I do?”
Alright. I suggest start with Malevolent, because it’s going to be a relatively short listen through and the fandom is super active. Episodes come out every couple of weeks, which means it’s not too hard to stay current. Prepare for a grittier tone than TMA, and a brilliant writer’s take on the Lovecraft universe minus the racism and misogyny.
Then try The Silt Verses, which is boldly different from the others. Unlike the rest, you’ll actually be able to finish this one, because there’s two released seasons and a third and final season due later this year. Lots of body horror, unanswered prayers and religious trauma in this indie art film of a story.
Hello From The Hallowoods is already quite lengthy and releases a new episode every week, so it’s more of an undertaking. Great places to pause are between seasons (E48, where a bunch of plot-relevant bonus episodes show up, and again at E96, same deal). Light on gore, but heavy on exploring homophobia and queer issues.
I’ll always commend listening to new shows rather than revisiting the same old, (especially when shows like @hinaypod @somewhereohio, @jarofrebukepodcast, @mabelpodcast, Parkdale Haunt, and many more exist for your perusal) but I suspect the best time to revisit your TMA nostalgia will be when the inevitable re-listen parties and events start leading up to the release of The Magnus Protocol.

The only audio drama thing i listen to id literally Re:Dracula, I didn’t even know they existed before
We're SO HAPPY to be your first audio drama! Welcome to the medium! You're getting a lot of bonus recs cause I'm just so excited.
If you enjoy the sound design and horror aspects of Re: Dracula, I think you'll like @sditepod (and the upcoming @shelterwoodpod)!
If you enjoy the found family and great acting aspects of the show, I think you'll like @innbetween or @valencepod!
If you want to dip your toes into something completely different, I think you should check out @meteorcitypod, @hinaypod, or @whatwillbehere!

“Hi Nay ( @hinaypod ) is a truly unique and delightful horror podcast that I am so incredibly grateful for. The storytelling, acting, and sound design are all wonderful and make for an electrifying listen. I love these characters and can't wait for what I'm sure will be a heartwrenching, satisfying conclusion.”

7!!!
Aaaah, thank you for asking!
7. What’s your favourite piece of music from any show?
That has to be Mari singing Ili-ili tulog anay (the lullaby used as the show’s theme) in the fifth episode of Hi Nay ( @hinaypod ). I am a sucker for in-story theme reprises and that song basically grabbed me from the moment I heard the music box-y (kalimba?) rendition in the opening.

Subtext is fun and funny to do and also a great way for me to communicate things that are very obvious to me but may not be for others; for example-
1) In Hi Nay episode 2, the cold ghost calls Mari a "foreign chit". This is in order to communicate to the audience that this creepy ghost man would absolutely have said a racial slur (without having to write one into the script)
2) In Hi Nay episode 21, I mentioned that a priest "no longer leered [...] at Sunday mass". This is to indicate that he was a creep who was eyeing up tween girls (which also contextualizes the particular brutality of his fate later in the story 🔪🦵🏻)
3) In Hi Nay episode 3, both Mari and Laura mention that they are into older women (and in Mari's case, older anyone). This was foreshadowing for their later romantic interests (with age differences between 11 years and 120+ years)

Much love to all our trans listeners and remember that every character in Hi Nay will fistfight a transphobe for you, this is 100% canon.

Darling, you must know that the modern age requires only the finest of art on your walls. That's why, my dear, I've dedicated a entire wall to Hi Nay artwork. Elegance, intrigue, variety, and beauty. What more could one ask for?

Our latest creator conversation is out, talking with @motziedapul at @hinaypod! This brilliant show gets into the intersection of Philippines folk horror with Toronto city life, and a protagonist who's seen this all before.
Hello From The Hallowoods returns February 28th.
