Audio Drama Sunday
I finished something on Canva this week that I’m looking forward to using in an article, and that’s the only interesting thing I’ve done. I hope everyone’s had a good week.
👹 @theredactedunit — Postmortem: Vestige - S1E19: Hooked on Phonics: oh no. Firstly, Jordan’s character left me gutted; that place ruined his life. He actually wanted to be a good brother and to keep people alive. Secondly, at least Jacob is a good friend! He has a guys night with his coworkers, he helps Lucas with projects and he doesn’t rat people out!! I’m sure Lucas owing him a favour won’t come up again 👀
🌅 Beneath the Cosmic Waves — Episode 4: Solitary Creatures - Episode 6: The Only Way Out: evil (early?) retiree Evelyn is becoming my favourite character. She runs a cult. She maybe secretly cares. She can’t do intense main character stunts because she’s 63. Yes, we’ve got characters with moral compasses, but we support women’s wrongs.
💭 Project: Daydream — PD 8 - May 15th: aw, 4815 has shut herself up in her office. Her line to CID at the start about needing someone to do all her fucking filing was devastating. And if you’d asked me to guess what she wanted to tell 6… that probably wouldn’t have been it.
❤️ The Polyester Podcast — How Pilates Girls Became an Incel Dogwhistle: why is this the nonfiction podcast I’ve chosen to be obsessed with? Give me feminist takes on internet discourse (that I’d never normally care about) and I’m desperate to learn the details.
☕️ Higher Grounds — The Summer of ‘62 | Episode 1 - Nineteen Dollars and Eighty-Three Cents | Episode 4: Tumblr is not the target audience for this fiction podcast, but it did make me cry several times. Higher Grounds starts with the death of a rock frontwoman at the coffee shop she ran with her friends, and has a reporter interview the people left behind. It’s less about what really happened to Elle, and more about four women growing up through the 1960s to the 1990s. It covers everything from race riots and the Vietnam war, to first loves and music careers. Pick a trigger warning, though, and it’ll probably be there.
