For the Apogee of Night, a Solstice Weird Podcast Roundup
December 21, 2021 12:23 PM Subscribe
It’s the darkest night of the year (well, for half the planet), so here’s yet another roundup of weird audio dramas! They may help you spend time while isolating through omicron, dealing with the holidays, or just hunting out that perfect holiday shiver. Most of the series are audio dramas with paranormal elements, but anthologies, fantasy, and science fiction are included. Just to get a link above the fold, I will point out that Believer, mentioned in a previous roundup, is back “on the air.”
Stories with LGBTQ characters and elements are identified when possible. Podcasts with frequent or severe content warnings are noted as are those which provide transcripts. Lately, audio dramas seem to be experimenting more with “chaotic action” – fights, headlong flight, etc. This often doesn’t work all that well; it is noted when significant. All the podcasts are accessible via most podcast apps and aggregators (although, weirdly, some apps seem to not catch entire seasons of some of the shows). Most of the series have episodes that run ~25-35 minutes; Exceptions will be noted.
As there has been demand in previous posts, anthologies are now included. Shows are identified as:
• audio drama – stories with continuing plots and casts, either open- or closed-ended
• anthology – stand-alone stories with no continuity
• anthology with frame – stand-alone stories with some kind of continuity that ties the series together but (usually) does not affect the stories
Cellar Letters (audio drama)
During COVID, the narrator moves out to a semi-rural house to wait out the pandemic with his dog and his friend, Steve. They find a strange room in the basement, full of filing cabinets with odd letters. The landlord is remote and tells them contradictory things. Time isn’t working right. The more they dig, the worse it gets. What is this house?
Frequency: weekly
Tone: Disturbing old house and shifting reality
LGBTQ: none
One season (35 episodes + supplements; ongoing)

The Conundrum of Cora Bay (audio drama)
The small Northern California town of Cora Bay: An ancient secret, a hidden legacy, and a terrifying future. Professor Bryan Keaton only wanted a tank of gas and a spare tire so he could get back on the road to his cushy new job in Portland. But this intriguing hamlet on the misty rock-strewn shores of the Pacific continues to draw him in… Over-the-top attempts at 30s-style radio tropes and patter are heavily deployed for comic effect.
Frequency: weekly
Tone: time travel and comedy
LGBTQ: none
One season (6 episodes; ongoing)

Dash (audio drama)
1940, Los Angeles. Private eye Dash Malone, combats a society that rejects him, a lover who isn’t honest with him, and a rash of brutal murders that are somehow connected with his new prospective client, the mysterious Zita Makara. As the bodies stack up, Dash discovers the seemingly unrelated parts of his life are really pieces of a larger puzzle. Can he conquer the monsters of the past to stop a terrifying future from occurring? A show that can’t quite decide whether it wants to be the story of a gay man in 1940s LA, a pulp comedy, or a horror story, it still manages to keep the plot moving. Also available as a graphic novel. CW: Pulp treatment of Egyptian mythology and culture.
Frequency: weekly
Tone: noir and mummies
LGBTQ: gay protagonist
One season (14 episodes + supplements; ongoing)

The Domestic Life of Anthony Todd (audio drama)
"My name is Quill Taylor and I have taken it upon myself to record my findings pertaining to the life of a young boy named Anthony Todd..." An urban fantasy about an author who moves to a small town and finds very peculiar things going on. This is a project by a very young crew, so the voice acting and technical aspects are sometimes weak, but it’s got heart and is worth trying out. The short episodes really help keep things moving. Some problems with chaotic action. The story takes place on a world very much like Earth, although it hasn’t affected the plot much. The website has some supplementary material to help you figure it out. Transcripts available.
Length: 10-20 minutes
Frequency: biweekly during the season
Tone: small town urban fantasy, angelic beings, time/memory manipulation
LGBTQ: nonbinary narrator
3 seasons (32 episodes + supplements; ongoing)

Echobox (audio drama)
Gossip Girl meets the Greek Myths. Alex works for Olympus Records. She’s written some songs, which her boyfriend, Narcissus, has used to get a recording contract, cutting her out of the deal. So she starts a tell-all podcast about the horrible Olympus family and their terrible secrets, with some help from her best friend Achilles (and his boyfriend Pat). Not… technically weird, but it’s a ride with some real punches. The teaser and first episode have very muddy audio; after that, it improved dramatically. CW: lots of homophobia and biphobia and tough things happening to queer people, although not gratuitously. Transcripts available. On hiatus until 2022
Length: 10-20 minutes
Frequency: weekly
Tone: music industry gossip
LGBTQ: bisexual protagonist, lots of gay and lesbian characters
One season (10 episodes + supplement; ongoing)

Ghost Hunt Pacific (audio drama)
In the 80s, Ghost Hunt Pacific, an early ghost hunting show, was broadcast in a small Pacific Northwest town. The single uncorroborated showing, plus the rumor that the hosts died on camera in their final episode, have made the show an internet mystery.
Years later, Juno Desconocida (they/them) whose hobby is collecting fraudulent “haunted” objects becomes mildly obsessed with collecting faked memorabilia from the show. Then they begin to receive mysterious packages containing purported transcripts from the show. They decide to record the transcripts (doing intentionally? terrible voices) for the 4 leads: Cosmo (he/him), Fatima (she/her), Macaiah (they/them), and Ye-jun (he/him). The packages and transcripts become increasingly odd and menacing.
Still more years later, real-life podcaster Jupiter Achlys (she/her fae/faer/fear), finds Juno’s battered hard drive in a second-hand shop and decides to put the contents up on the web as an easy podcast. Each episode has Juno reading and commenting on the transcript of a GHP episode, and Jupiter commenting on everything, often with irritated bafflement. Since all voices are done by Achlys, the whole project has complicated implications for gender identity and presentation. Also, ghosts. Transcripts available.
Frequency: weekly
Tone: Nested narratives and warping geographies
LGBTQ: Trans and non-binary characters
One season (5 episodes; ongoing)

The Harrowing of Minerva Damson (audio drama)
France, 1915, and just behind the front lines a woman is running for her life. She’s not running from enemy soldiers or falling mortars; a far more sinister creature stalks her, one created by bloodshed and black magic. This is the newest threat in a war growing uglier by the day, and it won't be the last. Or the worst. But this woman is not a civilian. As a knight of the Order of Joan, she is only one of a legion of women with a long history of monster hunting. So when she runs, it's all part of the larger plan.
Frequency: weekly
Tone: WWI, with monsters and magic
LGBTQ: none so far
One season (6 episodes + supplement; ongoing)
No website, but they also post the files on YouTube
Hello from the Hallowoods (anthology with frame)
Come walk between the black pines! Your nightmarish host Nikignik presents a heartfelt horror show from the beautiful (and deadly) Northern Hallowoods. Each episode contains (usually) three short stories and some additional material. Many of the stories pick up threads from previous stories (so the stories get more intertwined as the series goes on), but most can be listened to on their own. While Nikignik is palyed as a “jovial monster” ala the Crypt Keeper, the stories are generally not comedic. Transcripts available.
Length: 20-45 minutes
Frequency: weekly
Tone: Rural horror and nightmares
LGBTQ: Lots of LGBTQ+ characters
One season (55 episodes; ongoing)

I Am in Eskew (anthology with frame)
David has been living as an expat in the odd city of Eskew for a long time. How long, he isn’t sure, but, if he is careful and watches himself, the odder aspects of the city are avoidable or, at least, tolerable. Meanwhile, Riyo takes a commission to try and find a young man who disappeared years earlier. She uncovers government corruption and unethical experiments. Slowly, their paths converge as the secret experiments reach a climax. There is a coherent narrative, but most episodes stand on their own as short stories. CW: almost constant body horror and emotional disconnection. Transcripts available.
Length: 10-20 minutes
Frequency: completed
Tone: music industry gossip
LGBTQ: none significant
One season (30 episodes)

Jack of All Trades (audio drama)
Jack Withers' new job as a senior repairs specialist came just in time for her to avoid homelessness. But she worries a bit about her complete lack of skill in repairs...until it turns out that most of the properties' flickering lights and groaning pipes result from hauntings! Now she just hopes to pick up the skills to survive and stay employed, before her boss (and latest crush) finds out she lied on her resume. Or worse, decides she's crazy. It’s a horror comedy that doesn’t know what it wants to be. Transcripts available.

Lavender Evening Fog (audio drama)

A man moves into a house outside of a small town. As the series goes on, we learn more about why he is there. Initially, the story is told through voicemails, followed by occasional phone conversations, followed by physical visits. All are subtly menacing. It’s tempting to dismiss this as “Mabel, but with a guy,” but that is not entirely fair. Hard to search for due to the common name, here’s the RSS feed.

Mound Hill Cemetery (audio drama)
Derek is an unimaginative man who minds his own business. He likes smoking, watching TV, drawing, and playing the guitar. He needs a job; the local cemetery needs a caretaker. As Derek learns the ropes of his new job, he also begins to realize that parts of the cemetery are… odd. What is going to happen to a man who does not have the imagination to realize when to get the heck out? This is really a serial audiobook read by the author. No transcripts, but you can buy the ebook. Also, the cemetery appears to be a real place.
Frequency: complete

What Happened in Skinner (audio drama)
Starting with an episode of the extremely local Pacific Legacies YouTube channel, Marlowe Verne begins to follow a trail of clues that leads her to the decaying town of Skinner, off the Oregon coast and back into the orbit of her ex. Along the way, Marlowe, backed up by an unruly and demanding group of online sleuths, tries to tie together weird occurrences, internet rumors, and Auremana, a cult which might be considerably more than it seems. The show seems to have arisen from a short film that made the weirder film festivals last year (it makes up the bulk of the video linked above), and many of the discoveries are available on the web, discoverable from other sites or via the podcast’s website.
Length 50-60 minutes

In 1934 New York City, two idealistic radio hosts battle shadowy forces for the soul of America.
