About This List
These are the podcasts that I've listened to over the past year or more. They are the ones that I recommend to everyone when they ask for shows. It is ever expanding.
- Spring 2142 and Gated Galaxies has launched its 400 Oz-8000 ships, each carrying 50,000 "resting guests" to, hopefully, a new home on a shiny, brand-new planet. As soon as they find one. IF they find one. This is the story of one of those ships – the Oz 9 – and its tiny crew of hopeless incompetents. So far, they've been in space half an hour and several hundred people are dead. So... bright future, clearly.
- Welcome to Top of the Round! An original actual play Dungeons and Dragons adventure set in the dark, mysterious world of Ishnar. What happens when a naive druid, a mysterious drow elf, and an orphaned monk are roped into becoming mailmen for a goddess? Rated Explicit for language, violence, some horror themes, and suggested adult content.
- Dice Tower Theatre is an Audiodrama retelling of a Fantasy Roleplaying Game. Swords sorcery and adventure await the listener in our exciting tale of 6 children growing up in a fantastical world of magic and dragons.
- Set one billion years in the future... it's the story of Januae, a man who randomly teleports to strange and dangerous places with no way of controlling it.
- Join a podcasting family as they build a world together in an actual-play format that infuses mystery with humor in a conversational story that is sure to delight. Each season brings weekly episodes of the main story along with the eclectic LukkyGo Variety Show which is like a story laboratory that goes behind the scenes while testing out new improv and story ideas. The HappyGoLukky Podcast is good clean family fun for all ages and audiences.
- 350 years ago, a great cataclysm nearly wiped out all life on earth. The descendants of the survivors are now ruled by a dystopian council. The Theosin provide opposition, but the council have a fierce weapon...the Enforcer. However like all good stories, there's a twist. The Enforcer (Saris) has been kidnapped by the opposition (the Theosin). Follow Tharin as he desperately tries to find Saris in this dystopian series that has no real good guys. Welcome to The City Within The Walls.
- The Ladies of Strange is a comedy podcast where we talk about everything from true crime, paranormal, conspiracy, and anything else we find questionable, odd, or eerie. Sit down with us every Thursday for a story presented by one of the hosts and learn with us that everyone has something they find strange, let us tell you why (sometimes) it’s not.
- Life's not easy for Doug Eiffel, the communications officer for the U.S.S. Hephaestus Research Station, currently on Day 448 of its orbit around red dwarf star Wolf 359. He's stuck on a scientific survey mission of indeterminate length, 7.8 light years from Earth. His only company on board the station are stern mission chief Minkowski, insane science officer Hilbert, and Hephaestus Station's sentient, often malfunctioning operating system Hera. He doesn't have much to do for his job other than monitoring static and intercepting the occasional decades-old radio broadcast from Earth, so he spends most of his time creating extensive audio logs about the ordinary, day-to-day happenings within the station. But the Hephaestus is an odd place, and life in extremely isolated, zero gravity conditions has a way of doing funny things to people's minds. Even the simplest of tasks can turn into a gargantuan struggle, and the most ordinary-seeming things have a way of turning into anything but that. Wolf 359 is a radio drama in the tradition of Golden Age of Radio shows. Take one part space-faring adventure, add one part character drama, and mix in one part absurdist sitcom, and you get Wolf 359. New episodes are released every two weeks.
