Just FYI: the genre expand links don't work on iOS Firefox; do on iOS Safari.

This looks wonderful. I’ve been binging on storytelling podcasts all day. This strongly suggests I have many more to peruse.

Not just iOS Firefox; desktop Firefox doesn't like it either.

iOS Chrome doesn’t seem to like it either. Works on laptop Chrome, though.

Bookmarked, thanks. Works fine on my Kindle Fire.

BBC Radio 4 seems to be developing a Christmas/New Year tradition of dramatising HP Lovecraft stories, which are available online or as serialised podcasts. They've been quite clever in adapting them, reimagining the stories as modern podcasts told in the midst of events by one or more of the story's characters. Last year's offering (still available) was The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and this year, we're getting The Whisperer in Darkness. I think they're pretty good.

I haven't listened to a lot of audio drama podcasts, but I did enjoy Passenger List with Kelly Marie Tran and Colin Morgan.
