I'm looking for new queer fiction podcasts to obsess about! So far I've listened to:

The Adventure Zone (that was a while ago, and I'm still not caught up on Dust S2 or Steeplechase)

Welcome To Night Vale

The Penumbra Podcast (Juno Steel and Second Citadel now!)

Wolf 359 (that was supposed to be my HAPPY COMFORT PODCAST jeez)

King Falls AM (Also was supposed to be my comfort podcast)

Kaleidotrope (This one's really a comfort podcast)

Dragon Shanty (Thanks for the rec!)

Dark Ages

The Lavender Tavern

The Two Princes

Second Star To The Left

RADIO: Outcast

The Bright Sessions

Vega

The Magnus Archives

The Strange Case of Starship Iris

Stellar Firma

Me And AU

Trice Forgotten

Maxine Miles

Light Hearts

Wooden Overcoats

Faux & Stallion

So if there are any suggestions, I'd love to have new stuff to check out! (Finished podcasts would be great but if it isn't that's fine)

Edit: Wow! Thanks for all the recommendations! Now my to-watch list is much, much longer than it was before!

crying at every single audio drama because queer love stories like this weren’t available to me when I was young and I’m just SO happy for the current generation and so grateful for these creators.

(also, fuck the rightwing fuckheads on your school boards!! we’ll beat ‘em back, I promise. if the adults in your life don’t support you, know that I do and every single person in my life does too)

Okay I would like to talk about Sam the Quarterback in Kaleidotrope, because I adore her and also her arc is so funny to me.

So this is her big realisation moment:

I think this is one of my favourite pieces of Sidlesmith ridiculousness because it’s just, what??? This team have won basically every game intentionally playing badly, until the timing is dramatic enough to stage a desperate comeback. Every game. Every game, and they just think it’s all because of the Sidlesmith Magic. Like, what is up with that??? Do they think they’re a really bad team and it’s only because of the Magic that they’re able to win? Are they just fucking around til the last minute? Are they instructed to do this by their coaches in order to keep the football-watching population of Sidlesmith happy and secure that the tropes are still going as planned??

And what’s it like to play on that team? If they’re winning every game they must be highly ranked (I am very British please feel free to correct me on how American College Football works), so I assume the entry expectations are high? Do they recruit and then the freshmen come in like ‘yeah I can play good football’ and then get told ‘sure, but not until the final quarter’? How frustrating must that be?? But Sam seems to genuinely be shocked by the idea of playing some other way. But imagine also playing against this team. You start playing. You’re winning easily. You get cocky and then Sidlesmith start playing well suddenly and oops they’ve smashed up your lead and is this even the same team, suddenly you’re way outmatched and there’s nothing you can do and then oops you lost, even though no one should have been able to make up for that lead you had during the first three quarters. And you hear that they’ve done it to other teams, no matter how good. And so the next time you play against them you keep your guard up, you warn all your rookies. They don’t believe you after the first quarter, but you know what you’ve seen. You keep the lead up; Sidlesmith get some scrappy points but nothing nearly to the level you remember them being at last time. And then when you’re begging your team not to let this lull you into a false sense of security, BAM, Sidlesmith take it seriously again and even though you play your hardest you suddenly can’t do anything to keep hold of the ball. AGAIN. And you ask them about it afterwards, because this must be some kind of joke, right? They must be mocking you, or maybe they think you’re a terrible team and they don’t want to make you look too bad. But no, it’s none of that — or at least, they don’t say that. They just talk about the “Sidlesmith Magic”. All of them, with no conferring. If it’s a joke they’re all incredible actors. You seriously wonder if it’s some kind of performance-enhancing drug, this magic stuff, but you find out another team had accused them of that, demanded drug tests, and had to drop a bunch of their own teammates as a result. All the Sidlesmith team had been indisputably clean. So you’re left with nothing, no answers, a demoralised team, and thousands of questions about what the hell the Sidlesmith team are up to.

This got so very off track, but anyway: Sam’s incredible, what the actual fuck is up with that whole thing, and I’m so excited for Sam’s future where she just obliterates every single team in the league.

Kaleidotrope is gonna make me cry actually cause I forgot that it’s from 2018 and they’re just like “opinions on johnlock??”

Me: Well I finished Kaleidotrope I’ll go back to Welcome to Night Vale now

Also me:

Advent Drabble 13 - Fairy Lights

For anonymous

If you were to ask their listeners who is the most likely to put up little twinkling lights all around the soundbooth, Drew knows they'd say Harrison. Drew doesn't get enough credit from the Sidlesmith listening public.

But only half of the fairy lights he buys light up and they get hopelessly tangled around the equipment and Hal nixes the fairy lights.

Drew's grumbly when Harrison gets to the station but Harrison says it's the effort that counts and kisses him and gushes about the fairy-light attempt on-air and blames Hal for its failure so, all in all, a win.

im bored

can y’all send me suggestions for podcast characters to draw in my asks?

I have listened to

THe Magnus archives

the penumbra podcast (juno steel and second citadel)

wolf 359

kaleidetrope

Welcome to nightvale

camo here and there

My thoughts while listening to the first ep of Kaleidotrope:

Oh gee I hope I like this podcast!

"if this were still a bi-weekly music show"

Ooooh I wonder what I'd play if I had a music show? Probably some Smith Street Band. They're all bangers

"Let’s start with not playing-"

Can't wait to hear what this guy's music taste is

"the Smith Street Band’s 'Wipe That Shit-Eating Grin Off Your Punchable Face'"

And this is where my brain short circuited out of shock

i just finished episode 6 of kaleidotrope and i am in a state of emotional disarray /pos

i don’t think the word “desperately” has ever affected me as much as it does right now
