you can do it. you can make it through the summer hiatus season. you will return, and you will get your blorbos back.
sometimes you take a little break from your podcasts and miss a fuckton of emotional damage
my radio documentary professor has no idea who she's dealing with. she keeps saying things like "I'm going to make listeners out of all of you by the end of the semester", completely unaware that I literally eat, sleep, and breath podcasts
nightvale keeping me on my toes with plot twists even to this day is why I continue to listen to it
throwback to jun. 15th when episode 190 of nightvale came into my house and judo flipped me over the edge of my staircase
i keep seeing these so as a cat lover i must contribute
podcasts rated based on CAT
WTNV: koshekh my beloved. if only I knew how to properly spell your name. a solid 11/10 for effort on behalf of the creator’s parts, specifically because like many cats, he does not want to be perceived.
TMA: oh admiral my admiral. a top cat, really truly deserves the entire world and i’m very grateful he is back where he belongs. another 11/10, this time to jonny sims for making at least one character who’s always happy.
TAZ: GARFIELD. also: heathcliff. and the glowing cat from graduation who’s name I don’t remember. 12/10 for 2 solid cat characters, 3 cats overall. thank you mcelroys.
W359: no cats. space is probably a bad place for cats. still, 0/10 for price and cutter for not even attempting to send a cat to deep space.
Penumbra: cat caper! unfortunately that resulted in mostly dead cats :( but 5/10 for having cat.
tanis + rabbits + black tapes + faerie: more catless hellscapes. probably for the best given the content of these shows, but still disappointing. terry I expect at least one cat from you once. 0/10.
Bright Sessions: I’m sure Caleb has a cat. there’s no way Joan hasn’t had one at least once. 3/10 because lauren shippen wouldn’t have let some of these people not have cats.
King Falls: pretty sure the only person who canonically had cats was cynthia, good for her. 4/10 for kyle giving cats to a character the MCs decided to just hate for no reason.
Two Princes: no cats, but dragon! and a dog I’m pretty sure. 7/10 for dragon content.
Wayward Guide: it was literally about werewolves there was not a single cat onsite. 1/10 because I want to give tin can bros some credit.
Passenger List: no cats!!! no animals at all. just humans and planes. 1/10 for a severe lack of cats but because I really appreciate hearing colin morgan’s voice on a podcast since he seems to do about 1 gig every decade.
Old Gods of Appalachia: a few cats dotted here and there. some familiars! which are the Best type of cat. 9/10 for having cats, and for having the Best Type of Cats. this is a very dog heavy show, so I’m glad sometimes a feline shows up.
Nightvale ep. 188 said: death of the author, but Literal
im neurodivergent and queer of course my favorite thing to do is zone out for hours in random places listening to audio drama podcasts
your first podcast is always with you. for example, today I learned that joseph fink has used/knows my “family” bookstore and fucking lost my shit.
wtnv ep. 181 coming in with the incredible reminder that cecilos is still the top podcast couple by saying “yes they have a child, fucking deal with it”
got a SIGNED copy of It Devours for Christmas so don’t mind me just touching it and crying for the next month and a half
no one asked the monolith any questions regarding the meaning of life or any scientific breakthrough not yet had, which shows that everyone who interacted with it does not know that we cannot trust the smiling god
re-listening to the old oak doors has only made me want to see video footage of the cast acting it out even more because godDamn
this NOT a false alarm, I repeat, this is NOT a false alarm, Nightvale finally has allowed Dylan Marron back on the show for an episode
audio dramas really took one look at the cia and ran with it
now that I live in the big city I think I have earned the right to see cecil baldwin. just once. maybe talk to him. perhaps just a small glimpse.
