My partner and I make fiction podcasts full time and are the largest scripted audio drama team on Patreon. This is our budget and our findings for the last year.
I am trying to remember an AD set in the middle of the ocean. There was a roadway built over the water with stations where people were posted to assist travelers. The main characters were 4 staff members at one of the stations, who were also protecting and hiding a sea creature that was being hunted by bounty hunters. It definitely had a supernatural vibe as well. Thank yoi!
I can't believe we've arrived at episode 9 of season 1! What a journey it's been, for us and for these characters. Only one more episode to go after this - for now.
This episode contains major revelations, so please use spoiler tags where necessary.

Here's my big spoiler-free spreadsheet where I have their name, description, genres, tropes, basic stats, creators, and websites:
I've ranked them into a tier system based on my own personal taste: I'm a fan of science fiction, weird/speculative fiction, and high-concept, full-cast pieces. This subreddit has been my primary source for finding recommendations, so I hope this can help other folks find some good ones!
(and if this seems familiar, my first 50 was well-received last year!)
Does anyone have advice on what they're doing with their audio files to prevent AI theft? I understand this is a largely uphill battle and ultimately there's not too much we can do because of the speed of development, but has anyone played around with adding inaudible distortion to their files to try to scramble what the AI "hears"? Same question for posting transcripts of your dramas, I was thinking of posting a flat image pdf with some kind of scrambling watermark so it can't be acr searched. How do you guys feel?
Thanks for any thoughts!
Anyone know what happened to the podcast Dead Seattle? It premiered at the end of last year/beginning of this year and I finally was going to queue it up after Out Of Sight and it seems to be delisted.
Thank you!
The Agents find petals rooting behind their eyes, becoming intimate, blossoming murders they both commit and suffer until their names dissolve into sap-sweet gratitude. All the while, the mirror's screaming continues.

In this week's episode of our Daggerheart actual play, the gang finishes up a long night of study and speculation around the Custodia Sanguis. Herry gets a platoon, makes a mess, and chats with Mother Demeris and Luken meets his biggest fan for a game of Towers & Flowers.
Episode 5 turns a tense gathering into a formal test of legitimacy when Cair Olosis demands proof that the Dark Razor is real. What follows is a ritual of examination, rejection, acceptance, and oath-binding that reshapes the room’s hierarchy in a very public way. If you like fantasy with rule-bound magic, ceremonial weapons, and political tension compressed into one location, this episode leans hard into all of that.
Hi, I am 25yo producer and sound designer from Italy.
I have an academic background in audio and, after trying for months to get a job as a music producer for commercials, i finally dropped the idea, mainly thanks to AI. I realized that the commercial adv market is going to be completely eaten by AI by the end of the year, leaving people like me with little experience without work. I started to think about elevating my skills and by doing so, the audio middleware industry came up.
I understand that in the future this is going to be a market much bugger than the "standard" commercial music scene, and after some considerations, I began to study Wwise.
I finished the fundamentals and I am currently studying interactive music. My plan was to finish all the courses( interactive music, performance optimization and Wwise Unity integration) and hope that by the end, I will be able to implement my sounds into a game like Limbo.
After having a portfolio like a Limbo game completely done with my sounds, I would have started to send applications and try to find a job with the newly-acquired skills.
I have some questions:
-Is this the correct path for someone like me who has a strong creative and musical ability, hoping to be the guy who composes the sfxs and music to be added in the game, after learning indeed the technical part of it?
-Is Wwise the right choice to find a job? Or should i focus on FMOD? Or should I learn FMOD before even trying to implement Limbo on Wise and only then build a portofolio of game audio?
-Is it really a much bigger market than standard audio industries such as adv or cinema?
-Are there junior postiions that is possible to cover for people like me?
-is it usually fully remote?
-how often in game audio projects you work completely alone on the audio part?
thanks in advance.
Aside from loving the podcast, I love the theme song, but can’t seem to find it. Does anyone else know where to find it? Thanks!
Your first episode came out 4 months ago. Will there be more?
“On Earth, you’re certain of the ground on your feet. What goes up must come down… My life is different. I don’t have that certainty.”
Hey everyone! Episode 02 of Too Much Space is now live.
This episode follows Jason Ward, trapped aboard the Albatross 180818, as he becomes increasingly convinced something is working against him. To get access to the ship’s security footage, he makes a deal with Shakespeare (the ship’s AI).
In return, he answers questions about the reality of living in space… The kind that aren’t usually talked about.
But even with answers, one thing still doesn’t make sense:
there’s something out there, and it hasn’t shown itself yet.
If you’re into slow-burn sci-fi, isolation and unreliable situations where you’re not sure what’s real, this might be your thing.
Would love to hear what you think if you give it a listen.

Most of the ADs I've listened to take place inside a room, ship, cave or some other confined place. I just would like ones with the ambient sounds of outside.
Look, I see yall. You love your spooky stuff. That's cool! Your Silt Verse, your Magnus Archives and the seemingly endless other horror ADs I see posted on this subreddit. Its great and Im glad yall make what you're passionate about.
But imma lil bitch
I cant take horror. So Im looking for ADs that are non horror and great. Show me your action like We're Alive, your adventure like the Leviathan Chronicles, your fantastical and your sci-fi ala Wolf 359 or Midnight Burger.
What are your peak recs for scaredy pants like me? Id say the 'horror' limit I get to is like a We're Alive where there is very much tense moments but nothing thats gonna keep me up at night. I think it was Welcome to Nightvale that was also the extent of my 'horror' reach. If Im remembering right. Thats the one with the radio show right?
Anyways, what do yall got?
Does anyone know about the Patsy podcast? I've been trying to play it through one of my podcast players or social media and it either isn't showing up or has been removed. Any information out there?
It would seem that our reach has exceeded our grasp. As we head into the last three episodes of Season 3, we couldn't ask for a more magical milestone. Thank you for all the listens!
The 100 Handed
Monsters lurk among us.
The tattooed magician Evan Wexler and his werewolf partner V spend their nights prowling a shadowy underbelly full of frenzied monsters and mad sorcerers. Working for the mysterious organization known only as the Madhouse, they struggle to contain the threat of the Gloom, a malevolent force that breathes life into humanity’s worst nightmares and can make a heart’s darkest desires come true.
But Madhouse isn't the only organization of magicians interested in the workings of the Gloom. Deep in the heart of Texas there is another, crueler cabal of occult sorcerers that seek the Gloom's dark power. An organization dedicated to unfathomable ambition. An organization ready to declare a shadow war against the Madhouse. An organization attempting to bend reality to its will.

Are there any other creators out there that could share some script writing advice? After recording and editing with a very bare bones script, I am realizing I am in uncharted territory and cannot improvise and maintain continuity like this. What are some tips/resources for a new creator starting out?
