If you're interested in seeing which podcasts I'm working on adding to the site so far, I've got a list here. There's also some podcasts I already know I need help to further classify the characters (or with character names). If you're interested in helping me out here, I'd really appreciate it. If you notice any mistakes, have further recommendations, want to help me fill this out or a character is mislabeled, please also feel free to reach out!

Hello fans of Re: Dracula who were introduced to fiction podcasts through the updates from our good friend Jonathan Harker! Now that the story's over (sob!), would you like some recommendations for some other audio dramas that you might enjoy, made by some of the folks who worked on the podcast?
Jonathan Sims, who played our local phonograph enthusiast, is the writer of the hugely popular horror podcast, The Magnus Archives. The Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute records statements made by members of the public, detailing strange encounters with the supernatural. What soon becomes clear is that these statements do not describe separate and unrelated events, and a bigger and horrific picture begins to emerge. Also appearing as recurring characters in this series are both Sasha Sienna and Alasdair Stuart.
Karim Kronfli is a prolific voice actor, and while he might be best known for his roles in both Re: Dracula and The Magnus Archives, he has voiced a wide range of characters in many different fiction podcasts. Out of all the ones he's appeared in, I would personally recommend urban fantasy anthology series, Unseen. The unseen world exists alongside ours, but only a few humans can see it. It's a world where magic and magical creatures exists, and Karim's character tells his story in episode 7, titled We Ourselves.
Beth Eyre and Felix Trench played twins Antigone and Rudyard Funn in Wooden Overcoats, a British sitcom set on the tiny fictional island of Piffling, in the English Channel. The twins run a funeral parlor together, the only one on the island, until a newcomer arrives. Eric Chapman (played by Tom Crowley) sets up a much more successful funeral parlor, and the story is narrated by the Funns' house mouse, Madeline.
Alan Burgon plays the Interviewer in The Amelia Project. The Amelia Project is a secret organisation, and clients come to them looking for their help in faking their deaths. The Interviewer listens to each client's story, before concocting unique and often elaborate ways in which they will stage their deaths, before being reborn into a new identity.
David Ault is also a very recognisable voice to anyone who spends a considerate amount of time listening to fiction podcasts, and The Kingmaker Histories feels like an appropriate choice here. A weird steampunk series set in the Valorian Socialist Republic in 1911 , this story involves found family, its own intriguing magic system, and being gay and doing crime.
Our favourite cowboy, Giancarlo Herrera, plays one of the protagonists in sci-fi action/thriller, Primordial Deep. Spinner is part of a team which is sent deep beneath the sea to investigate the resurgence of creatures thought to be long-extinct. There's plenty of horror to be had here, as something ancient is stirring in the depths of the ocean.
As for the crew? Tal Minear works on so many podcasts, and if you like fantasy stories, I would recommend the delightfully lighthearted Sidequesting, which follows new adventurer Rion, as they help people on their travels. If you would like some more horror, there's their spoiler-driven anthology series, Someone Dies in This Elevator.
Hannah Wright's Inn Between is a fantasy series based on D&D. Each episode follows a party as they meet in the Goblin's Inn, in between adventures, as the tavern follows them around wherever they go.
Stephen Indrisano's upcoming docu-horror Shelterwood promises to be a series which explores the horror of suburbia, as it follows one man's quest to find his missing sister. Until this is released, I would recommend Do You Copy, in which Stephen plays one of the protagonists. This found footage horror series follows the events which unfold after the closure of Red Tail National Park, and the people who were left inside the park, after its mysterious closure.
Ella Watts is regarded as a walking encyclopedia of all things audio fiction, and has worked on several high-profile projects, including directing both Doctor Who: Redacted and Marvel Move. Her upcoming Camlann is a post-apocalyptic series due to be released next year, inspired by Arthurian legends and British folklore. She is also the executive producer of Tin Can Audio's (who are also producing Camlann) beautiful experimental series, The Tower. The protagonist of this story, Kiri, leaves her life behind to climb an impossibly high tower, making phonecalls along the way.
Newt Schottelkotte's Where The Stars Fell is a supernatural fantasy set in the town of Jerusalem, Oregon. Cryptozoologist Dr Edison Tucker arrives in the town to carry out some research, and meets her roommate, author Lucille Kensington. There's so much more to this strange town than first meets the eye, with a huge revelation at the end of season one.
If you're new to fiction podcasts, welcome! I hope this short (ish!) and very much non-comprehensive list gave you some ideas of what to listen to next!

Some of my favorite “coming out” “scenes”
Or not-coming-out but more like canon-implications-that-basically-confirm-a-queer-character without a coming out speech. I’m bored with coming out speeches/scenes, “marketed sexuality”, and forced coming out/gossiped coming out. This list is from a mix of mostly podcasts, but also books/movies/TV/games.
Last updated Aug 2022.
Established queer couple from their introduction, no coming out needed:
Tiffany & Keisha (Blood Crow Stories)
Buddy/Vespa, Quanyii/Caroline (The Penumbra Podcast)
Deena & Sam, Sarah Fier & Hannah Miller (Fear Street series)
Zelda & Pat (Mission Rejected)
Jason & Lucas Cawfield (The Glass Appeal)
Cherry & Vesta (Fuck Humans)
Meydinyor & Aule (Hulm)
Feltina & Humph (Fall of the House of Sunshine)
Sam/Allen, Anna/Maria, Bill/Robert (Sheridan Tapes)
Tommy & David (Putting 2 & 2 Together)
Emmy & Jo (Trials of Apollo: The Dark Prophecy)
Strone/Chipwick/Rel (Hubris round 5 ep 4)
Obvious life circumstance implications:
Wyatt Whaley (Blood Crow Stories)- has period products.
Frankie Meeks (The College Tapes)- said he changed his name.
Elle (Heartstopper) - changed from boys to girls school.
Apollo (Trials of Apollo) - OG!Apollo’s various mythology lovers + adds more male/female love interests
Cast of Surrender Your Sons- they’re at a conversion therapy camp
The Flame cast- owner of a gay bar, all the main characters are lesbian
Gay Future- it’s literally a gay future
Clay (How I Died)- wears a binder
Ethan McBride (Killing Spree)- gay porn stash
Most of Last Night at the Telegraph Club- attendees of a dyke bar
Conversation confirmations:
Machie/Rez (Vacant Arcadia) - They have FOUR songs dedicated to flirting with computer programming. Can’t get any gayer than that.
Piper Lee (Null/Void) - “I’m in a closet.” “Thanks for coming out, but is this the right time?” “No I’m actually hiding in a closet, but not the homophobic kind. Someone is about to catch me.” My favorite.
Mike Walters (WOE.BEGONE)- challenge featuring his exboyfriend
Nick Waters (Archive 81) - question challenge about ex-boyfriends
Monty Montague (Montague sibling series)- listing his dating history + flirts with everyone
Robin Buckley (Stranger Things) - implies her crush on Tammy Thompson & Steve/the audience just gets it
Zachary Ying (Zachary Ying & the Dragon Emperor) - “I don’t like girls!”
Lucius (Our Flag Means Death)- "I lied to my mom that I liked girls!”
Reyna (Trials of Apollo) - laughs her head off & complains that people think she needs a romantic partner
Quincy (Blood Crow Stories) - flirts with guys & girls + Travis: “Omg sis, I don’t care who you sleep with.”
Zach (Keep It Steady podcast) - rants about his obvious crush on Gabe
Characters from Shimanami Tasogare by Yuhki Kamatani. Ok I mentioned that BL/GL won’t be included, however this one is a special mention because its more like a LGBT+ manga than a BL/GL. There’s several queer characters at different stages of their life and while several of the coming out or reveals (if they’ve already come out long ago) were in homophobic situations, they were understandable and realistic. I’d say my favorite unfortunate “coming out” is Utsumi‘s arc and fave positive coming out is Haruko & Saki’s arc. I say arcs bc several characters have to come out multiple times, which is really realistic :O
Action confirmations:
Kyoshi & Rangi (Avatar Kyoshi novels) - confess & kiss
Rupert & Amir (The Two Princes) - confess & kiss
Pangla (Fall of the House of Sunshine)- transitions during an episode
Juno Steel (Penumbra Podcast)- kisses Peter, addressed as both guy & lady
Angel & Bast (Fuck Humans) - they hook up
Caitlyn Kiramman (Arcane)- in a brothel with a female prostitute
Aiden Jamison (Swipe Right for Murder)- goes on DirtyPaws
Ellie Williams (The Last of Us) - kisses Riley
Zagreus (Hades, game) - hooks up with Thanatos & Megara
Travis (Blood Crow Stories) - hooks up with guys
Conrad & Rudyard (The Vanishing Act) - confess & kiss
Paul (Moonface)- hooks up with several guys
Rita (Penumbra) - open to anyone at brothel + flirts with Yasmin
Jake Wheeler (Chucky TV 2021) - ok technically the actual “gay” confirmation was across 3 heated arguments that included the f-slur, but the first official signs was Jake very obviously oogling Devon.
Syd Carter (Proxy) - the initial outing was unpleasant but made sense in context, but the better reveal was kissing Knox
Character referred by neo-pronouns/nonbinary/multiple pronouns immediately:
Many many many characters from Under the Electric Stars
Several characters from Vacant Arcadia
Several characters from The Penumbra Podcast
Several characters from Electromancy
Several characters from Jar of Rebuke
Dr Kim (How I Died)
Ben Bernard (The College Tapes)
Alex Fuentes (Skillset Podcast)
Krejjh (Strange Case of Starship Iris)
Prince$$ (Blood Crow Stories)
Alright thats it for now! I’ll add more later. Obviously I skipped the entire BL/GL genre in anime/manga/visual novels because those are all just givens.
