SUGGESTIONS Shows about the sea

Upvotes

I'm looking for some new horror podcasts and j was hoping to find something that involves the sea in some way. Either a ship or a costal town

I love the eldritch horror vibes, characters being driven to madness and cult stuff

I LOVED the Magnus Archives, their production quality is so high it ruined me for anything else because I started there. I also loved Old Gods of Appalachia though I'm still working on it. I'm looking for good sound design and not two people chatting about lore or cases and I'm hoping to find one with a sort of long, overarching plot.

I have started Malevolent but I feel like they stop every once in a while to pause dramatically or restate a lot of things from just one or two episodes ago, and like they present options like a choose your own adventure book. I'm still working my way through it but I need something to scratch this itch without 'Dramatic pause.... ARTHUR!'

XD I love Malevolent, don't get me wrong, but I could use something else rn

Edit: thank you everyone for your suggestions and I still want m o r e but juts to clarify, boats not submarines XD I will certainly be checking out what everyone is suggesting and maybe what I really want is not out there, but I'm looking for more stories about fishermen is that makes sense! Still please suggest anything else that comes to mind! I promise I am reading all of them XD

DISCUSSION My review of Don’t Mind Spoiler

Upvotes

Hi. Before I hop into my review I’d like to kind of throw out some information to qualify my review. I’m just a guy who listens to audio dramas. I’m not an actor or creator or anything adjacent. Like over 20 years ago I did high school drama. So I’m just a fan. Also I’ve never done a review outside of talking about movies, shows, books, and games with friends. So I’m approaching this as humbly as I can. These are just my opinions and I don’t think my voice is any more or less important than anyone else. I just ask if I made a take that you disagree or think is bad you don’t flay me and just maybe educate me or give your opinion in a peaceful friendly manner. I’m also practicing this because I’m kind of wanting to post my reviews in a video format maybe someday. So thanks and let’s get to it.

The Don’t Mind series as of this writing has two entries. Cruxmont the first series and Sealskin Rock being the second entry. They are created by the creative team at Fool & Scholar. Same people behind other audio dramas like the Liberty podcast and the white vault. Both amazing and worth giving a listen.

I’d say both series of Don’t Mind could be described supernatural suspense thrillers/mysteries. Horror light even.

What’s strong about them is the writing and the dialogue are great. The production and quality of sound is top tier. They are amazingly well casted. The acting is superb.

Where they kind of suffer a bit is from time to time there are moments that don’t feel like they are adding anything. No character development or adding or moving the plot. Just feels like rifting which maybe can add of sense of real life but sometimes feels like padding an episode. It’s not all the time and sometimes you don’t really notice but they’re there.

The real hard point is Sealskin Rock’s ending… was not satisfying at all. It felt rushed, explained little to nothing, and in my opinion kind of abandoned are protagonist in a “this is fucked” kind of way.

While overall I love the stories they do have some shortcomings so my instincts were to rate this a 6/10.

If people like this I’ll rate Desert Skies next.

ANNOUNCEMENT Uncanny Valley score album now out!

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello! 😊 I'm the composer for Uncanny Valley and for over a year I've been working to make an album from some of the music in the show. And it released today!

For those of you who enjoy that remote, atmospheric Alaskan world, I hope this music will be of interest.

https://ffm.to/jm4nmjv <-- this link lets you choose your favourite music listening platform.

I've tried to include as much as I can from season one in these ten tracks.

I'm a little upset that my music distributor didn't include the names of the artists who helped me make this on the release, so I'm going to list them all here, because they made it what it is:

Ignacio Barcia - lead guitar (tracks 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 & 9)

Emma Butterworth - cello (tracks 1, 2, 3 & 10)

Sam Chaplin - trumpet (tracks 6 & 7)

Constance Froment - flute (track 6)

Francina Moll Salord - violin (tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 & 10)

John Wacher - rhythm guitar (tracks 4 & 8)

John Elleson-Hartley - mixing and mastering

This was a real labour of love. I hope you enjoy it!!

AUDIO DRAMA Tales From the Skald is Live!

Post image
12 Upvotes

After listening to the advice of people here, I took the time to learn enough in Reaper to put something out that I can genuinely enjoy listening to. 100% glad I listened because now I know I can do even better next time.

RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/tales-from-the-skald/

Listen on Spotify here

Or YouTube here

Tales from the Skald is an audio anthology of folklore, legends, and strange encounters from a world shaped by old magic, forgotten gods, dangerous creatures, and the people who live among them.

Gathered and recounted by the Skald, these are the stories passed from one generation to the next. Tales of those who ventured where they were warned not to go, those who crossed paths with things best left undisturbed, and those who learned that in Skaldenreach, an old warning is rarely without a reason.

So draw close to the fire, mind the road after dark, and listen carefully.

AUDIO DRAMA The Grimoire Diaries Season Two is now complete, with all 12 episodes available to binge!

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hello again!

The complete second season of our independent folk-horror audio drama, The Grimoire Diaries, is out now. So if you haven’t checked it out yet, or you’ve been waiting until you could binge the whole story, now is the perfect time.

Season Two begins with our bookshop workers discovering a mysterious and alarming list of names. The search for answers draws them into the mystery of dark and sinister cult, dangerously obsessed with oaths, bonds, promises, and the weight our words can carry. 

If you enjoy atmospheric mysteries, British and European folklore, creeping supernatural horror, strange rituals and stories about the ties that bind us to one another, we think you might enjoy it.

This season features a cast of 25 actors, alongside two episodes from brilliant guest writers. It was funded by our listeners, and we’re enormously grateful to everyone who helped us make the season bigger and more ambitious.

The Grimoire Diaries has now had over 190,000 downloads, which is honestly incredible for our little independent production. We’re immensely proud of what we’ve created and so excited that the whole season is finally out in the world.

You can listen wherever you get your podcasts, or find all the links here:

If you give it a listen, we’d love to hear what you think!

DISCUSSION What's in your mic locker, and how do you use them on your specific productions?

5 Upvotes

I'm happy to be posting here amongst such esteemed company! I've written a full season of a forthcoming pulp-adventure-Weird-folk-horror-Southern-Gothic audio drama, and have reached the point of casting and beginning recording.

...So, of course, I've found a way to procrastinate by spending the past six months researching and scavenging used sites for microphones at some ridiculously cheap prices!

I feel like I am lucky have a solid mic locker at this point, and am starting to think about how and when and why I'm going to put them to use. I'm going to be recording narration, dialogue, foley, ambience/environmental, and music all myself, so I want to be ready with a full quiver if possible.

Here's what I now have on hand (and would love your recommendations on how best to deploy them, or weird ways you've seen them used):

  • Roswell Pro Audio Mini K87 (purchased through a grant)
  • Electro-Voice RE20 (I have access to two of these in a treated room through work)
  • Shure SM94 ($30 on Poshmark)
  • Audio-Technica AT897 (with a Rycote Softie for $100 on eBay)
  • Shure SM57 ($35 Facebook Marketplace)
  • Shure SM58 ($35 Facebook Marketplace)
  • Electro-Voice RE16 (Scavenged from trash — extremely lucky)
  • Shure 515SD Unidyne B, Dual-Z (×2) (Scavenged from trash — extremely lucky)
  • Gates G-600 (×2) - Pretty sure these are rebadged EV 635A's, but about to ask about these later in the evening over at r/microphone (Scavenged from trash — extremely lucky)
  • RØDE PodMic (Random find at my $20 at my local...semi-Amish...store that sells secondhand Target warehouse items)
  • Audix D6 ($15 Marketplace)
  • Realistic/Tandy PZM ($9 Marketplace)
  • DIY Primo EM258 Binaural Foam Head Rig (Made this myself from $7 AliExpress capsules)
  • DIY Primo EM258 Omni Mic (Made this myself from $7 AliExpress capsule)
  • DIY Waterproof Piezo Hydrophone (Made this myself from a cheap piezo, guitar cable and rubber coating following this tutorial)
  • Peavey PVM 380N (Bought this for $10 as a teenager 25 years ago from a touring Christian singer)
  • Radio Shack Unidirectional Dynamic Microphone 3303043 ($4 Marketplace)
  • Realistic Highball-2 ($8 Marketplace)
  • Shure 520DX "Green Bullet" ($32 Marketplace)
  • Pyle Pro PDMICR42SL (Christmas gift sometime back—this one has the all metal case)
  • Aiwa DM-11 — ($8 Marketplace — needs drastic repair, may not be salvageable)
  • Calrad DM-88 — ($8 Marketplace — needs a little soldering, hopefully!)
  • Sonotone DM-10-200 (×2) ($10 Marketplace)
  • Bell & Howell Projector Microphone (Thrown in with the deal for the Sonotones)
