Thank you to @224bbaker and @theholmwoodfoundation for inspiring us to make our own PowerPoint on why you should listen to Dracula: 2004!

Remember, our hiatus ends in just under two weeks time on 7th March 2026 - you still have time to catch up if you haven't yet started (or fancy a cheeky relisten!)

It has come to my attention that people have been using my mspaint doodle as a reaction image- and I'm flattered however I realized I didn't sign it so I made a signed version. Use this one instead please and thank you!!

Also bonus points if there’s gays in it (although honestly at this point I go into podcasts assuming there will be, and am hardly ever wrong)

Malevolent is coming up on its final season (SOB 😭), so I will NEED something to fill the void. I'm partial to horror but open to any genre. Preferably no anthologies, I want something with a longer plot, but I'll check out any recs!

Good sound design is a must.

11. what’s a podcast you’ve listened to more than once?

Sorry it took so long to respond! I've relistened to a TON of podcasts, because I get very into figuring out how shows tick. Here's a small sampling:

Limetown, Season 1: This is such a watershed show, and I listen to it probably on average once a year. Structurally and craft-wise, the team over at Two-Up caught lightning in a bottle with this show, and its influence on Shelterwood is massive - how the show handles investigation, interview, character interactions, and sound design are worth studying for anyone interested in the mockumentary form. The monologues on this show are brilliant.

Knifepoint Horror: Soren Narnia has been steadily cranking out some of the most chilling, understated horror in podcasting for a decade and a half. His philosophy on horror is simple and grounded: the heart of fear is loss. These stories, varied as they are, share a sense of melancholy which grounds the work (strange as it can be) in reality. I feel the same way about I Am In Eskew, but I'm still on my first listen-through. Check out the episode DNK for a really cool meta-take on documentary style horror, as the story takes the form of a directors commentary overtop a documentary.

In Strange Woods: Atypical Artists (with creative director @thelaurenshippen, go drop her a follow) pushed the boundaries of what a fiction podcast could be with this one, and it makes me cry so much all the time. I have a soft spot for media about the legitimate grievances of teenagers, and this one also features Broadway-caliber musical performances from an all-killer cast. This one plays with the documentary style by fusing it with musical theater, which is genius: both forms utilize a mix of narration and scenes to balance plot, emotional release, and personal/interpersonal motivations, and both forms have established formal tropes (the "I want" song, for example) that can be expanded/subverted by using the frame of the other. Check this one out if you like Come From Away.
