#audio recommendation

Oh lord, so. I'm relatively new to the nsfw audio space but I've got some recommendations I can pass along.

The ones with a 🔥 are dark and have dubcon/noncon CNC content. 💙 are my favs.

❥ Don't Try To Run, Will Ya? 🔥💙 (this reminds me of Nick Fowler)

❥ Let Me Train You, Will Ya? 🔥 (also reminds me of Nick Fowler)

❥ Fit to Print 🔥 (makes me think of dark!Bucky or dark!Steve)

❥ Plants aren't the only things we breed in this shop (reminds me of @navybrat817's florist!Bucky)

❥ ~BuckyXListener NSFW:Interim~

❥ I Got a Question 💙 (makes me think of an age gap Bucky)

❥ What is this catnip stuff and why do I want to breed you now? (can't lie, my brain went to @thanatosfic's werepanther!Bucky)

❥ Cosytrapping my dearest blanket burrito (reminds me of @jobean12-blog's fic Beefy Burrito)

❥ Puppy 💙

❥ Naughty Bunny (made me think of Red Sun)

❥ Kidnapped by your favourite GWA Voice Actor 🔥

Basically Aasimar_Audio has the best dark ones omg. He's got non-dark ones too.

Maas Withdrawal Book Recommendations #7: “Alanna: The First Adventure” by Tamora Pierce

Click here for the full Book Recommendations list

Overview:

“From now on I’m Alan of Trebond, the younger twin. I’ll be a knight.” And so young Alanna of Trebond begins the journey to knighthood. Alanna has always craved the adventure and daring allowed only for boys; her twin brother, Thom, yearns to learn the art of magic. So one day they decide to switch places: Disguised as a girl, Thom heads for the convent; Alanna, pretending to be a boy, is on her way to the castle of King Roald to begin her training as a page. 

But the road to knighthood is not an easy one. As Alanna masters the skills necessary for battle, she must also learn to control her heart and to discern her enemies from her allies. 

This episode of Lost Notes is a fascinating exploration of electronica artist Suzanne Ciani. Delving into whether music can be both art and commercial, a bit of the history of electronica being ‘recognized’ as a music genre, and some great quotes by Ciani, it’s well worth the listen.

Shrine barber shop ASMR

ASMR: Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a relaxing experience one must try.

I especially recommend this video because of the voice acting in it. 

The voice actor’s breath feels incredibly real and comforting in a way I cannot express in words; rather I don’t want to explain it in words.

This is actually a two-part audio recommendation, with the link to the first episode. This is another recommendation from the Bello Collective e-newsletter. This two-part podcast delves into the world of tech support phone scams, and is a wild ride from beginning to end. As a journalist and a tech person, I found it fascinating to listen to Alex Goldman’s tenacity to get to the bottom of a call he gets. 

Neil Gaiman talking about Orpheus. What else do I need to explain about this audio recommendation? My only sadness was there was no mention of “Hadestown”, a folk opera co-written by Anais Mitchell. (Here’s a link to my favorite song from it.)

What good is having an audio recommendation section of my Tumblr without recommending some of my own work? ;-)

This is a piece I did for KCRW’s “SoundsLA” project. The point of the project was to produce short (one minute) non-narrated pieces (i.e., you never hear my voice explaining what’s going on) that took an unusual sound in and around Los Angeles and tell a story. 

(See all my audio recommendation posts here.)

Recommended by the Bello Collective, this audio recommendation is an episode of the podcast Love + Radio, which I admit I hadn’t heard of before. It’s an episode about a LOTR fan who got into writing slash fic (and RPF) partially as a way to deal with past abuse. She starts role playing with a fellow fan and develops a WLW relationship and they used the slash in their relationship. 

It’s a deeply personal interview that is at times uncomfortable to listen to as a result, and is a fascinating entry into why some write slash and RPF. 

Head’s up: there is some highly explicit slash read during the podcast, so don’t listen where that may get you in trouble.
