I realize this list is relatively old {it’s now 11/29/2019}; however, I just wanted to post my, “THANKS!!” to both this article’s Author & Also, to ALL the Commentors!! As my iPhone recently died (last night completely {That terrible cell phone state where it is simply dark, cold, and unresponsive.}, and as it is currently, the Extended Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, I am currently in “Limbo”, until next w9eek,(after the Black Friday and Cyber Monday Rushes), SO…I have borrowed a friend’s phone yo look up some Audio Dramas….and I Thankfully, found this treasure trove of Audio options, THANKS!!!…as my Google Home, apparently needs the name of the PodCast in order to pull it up and play it. I now have an extensive list that is sure to keep me Amused for Hours & until I can get to the phone store and back out of the Dark Ages (pre-smartphone)…May You All have a Healthy, Safe, and Happy…and FABULOUS 2019 Holiday Season!!.. (and NEVER experience the Loss+Life stopping feeling of a Cold, Dead, and Life Less Smartphone!!…*Laughs*

Honestly one of the best horror audio dramas I’ve found is hands down the Magnus Archives. It’s an amazing series, each episode is tense and gripping in it’s own way. The series takes place in the Magnus Institute, a place where strange phenomena are reported and archived by the main character : the Archivist Jonathan Simms. The first few episodes feel disconnected but ohhh boy it’s All Connected. I will give a little shout of forewarning, most of the episodes deal with horror that can stem from rather common phobias so if you’re sensitive to any one particular phobia ( the dark, spiders, ECT.) Proceed with caution.

Greetings, and thanks to all for these great recs and resources! I’m very excited to now have four episodes of our first, new podcast out there, released every two weeks. It’s called The Fertile Void, and Season One, The Coveted Silk is an audio drama, a web of interconnected stories mixing personal memoir with fairy tale, magical realism, and music, all traversing the liminal spaces of the fertile void, the liminal space between the worlds. Tarantulas, mad dancing, a golden cape of the silk of one million spiders….thank you for taking the time to listen, if you do!

GAH…as a HUGE audio drama podcast fan-this list is super frustrating to read! Honestly I am unsure if the author enjoys or even listens to audio drama podcasts after this list LOL?? Maybe I have just listened to so many more truly great ones than this writer…cant think of another explanation for this particular list. I would absolutely expect to AT LEAST see “Were Alive” listed! So many others out there that are just AWESOME all around…in sound, writing, story line, acting/cast, length of pod in its entirety, episode length…there are many things that make up a great audio drama pod in my opinion. Check out any of these and you will NOT be sorry. I listen 8-9 hours a day of podcasts and have for at least past 3 years so I think I have a pretty decent idea audio drama recommendation 🙂 Try them out and see:
Were Alive, Were Alive-Lockdown, Ars Paradoxia, Breakers, Bright Sessions, Brownsville, Ghosts in the burbs, Wooden Overcoats, Wolf 359, Rose Drive, Congeria, Duggan Hill, Limetown, Sandra, 19 Nocturne Boulevard….so many more too, this is just a small sample of all the great audio dramas. Kinda sad to see this list didnt include one of them.

In reply to eli. We’re Alive is the gold standard of audio dramas! Everything from character development, plot, storyline and the amazing sights and sounds for your ears. I have listened to it 4 times through and still love every second.

Another great audio series is Quest of Heroes! It’s just the pilot for now and you have to request it through facebook, because they’re still trying to get funding for the rest of the first season. But I think they’re planning to release it this summer some time. It’s a great show, good acting and writing.

In reply to Khristina. Gay Future is so much fun. I wrote this article just before starting it, but I'll be sure to add it on in a future revision. I already miss it!
