I have a few things lined up for TDoV today but here’s this years painting.
This time around I’ve done an 80’s au version, I know i do these ‘in the mirror’ images a lot, it’s just very close to my heart. I spent so many years looking in the mirror and not recognizing who I saw looking back at me, probably since i was about 13, until sometime in my mid 30s. It’s a really weird and uncomfortable feeling. I like to draw Carrie seeing the person she’ll become when she can one day, when she’s safe and able to live freely. Until then, Caro exists inside her, cheering her on. And one fine day, Caro will wake up and look in the mirror and go, oh! There you are. I’ve been dreaming of you my entire life. ✨
Love you, stay safe, i know things suck right now. But we’re gonna to make it, hand in hand ok?

Good morning everyone, I hope your audio drama Sunday is starting off great. Let’s talk podcasts!
🏝️The cliffhanger @storiesfromylelmore left us on last week was honestly so scary, so I’m really glad to discover this week that Elas isn’t dead. And I’m very proud of them?? Elas’ courage and focus on genuinely helping people and spirits feels like they are growing up—really taking Keryth’s love for the world and all its creatures seriously. The fact that Elas takes that so seriously is to their credit.
📻 🥩 The Shelterwood/Gospel of Haven crossover was so good folks. Daisy McNamara knows exactly what he’s doing with the suburban horror of existing for the comfort of someone else, especially during the holidays. It was so casually horrible, it really Got @shelterwoodpod. And as for the @thegospelofhaven, Stephen Indrisano made me straight up cackle. Great team-up guys.
🎁 We have to talk about @goodpointepodcasts Christmas Diner!!! It wrapped up this week maybe the only way it could—mayhem, a cop getting arrested, and a very happy ending. Please go to the Stitches feed and listen to it, it’s really good.
🦇 Dracula: 2004 is so good at doing modern retelling things. Like oh, every adaptation ever makes Lucy look like a hypersexual airhead who brought Dracula upon herself? Dracula: 2004 has news for those adaptations about how they're as bad as every ignorant doctor who blames weight and anxiety for women's problems. We are not doing misogyny today in this here Dracula. I mean, misogyny is happening, but we're going to look it in the face for what it is. This team is building up some fantastic tension.
⛽️ I've been listening to Mil-liminal and I have to say, I am very into it. A good single-narrator show requires a really powerful personality narrating for me to not get bored, and Caro fits the bill. I've seen some of the extra art stuff on tumblr, so I don't know *nothing* about Caro's backstory, but I still find the little bits they sneak into the narrative delicious. And the ghost stories are uniquely compelling as well! I just listened to episode 6: Engine Trouble and was genuinely creeped the heck out.
That's all for this week! Chag Sameach, Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice everybody! (Am I missing anything?)
Last year I did a lil write up of some of my favorite podcasts I'd listened to that year, so I figured I'd do the same for 2025!
Life With Althaar - it took a bit for this show to get its hooks into me, but HOLY MOLY. Most episodes are the length of feature films, but they absolutely fly by. I love this show and I know I will love it more when I eventually relisten to it.
Arden - I was delighted when I ran a poll asking what shows to relisten to this year and Arden was one of the top 3. It's so goddamn good. What more is there to say? I love Arden. I'm really hoping for season 3 news soon.
Under the Electric Stars - I haven't stumbled across a lot of cyberpunk shows, but UTES is certainly one of the top ones for me. It's got a large and fascinating cast of characters and top-notch world building. Plus how sick is that name???
SINKHOLE - sinkhole. Another outstanding cyberpunk show that had me vibrating mildly with each subsequent episode and ready to relisten by the time I was halfway through.
Mil-Liminal - I am not much of a horror girlie, but Mil-Liminal really clicked with me. The stories are chilling, but there is a warmth that comes from Caro's narration that makes the podcast incredibly charming.
The Greatest Matter - I haven't seen much about this in the Tumblr audiodrama ecosphere, but I feel like it will really click with folks. It's a Victorian gothic mystery set in Dublin. It's got spiritualism! A plucky lady journalist! Gruesome murder! And also great audio design and acting!
The Sound Museum - an absolute banger of a first season, this was just a ton of fun all the way through. The finale snuck up on me soooooo fast, I'm not ready for it to be over yet!
Exercises In Sound - I just love what this show is doing. I love when creators make a Choice and just fuckin go for it, and every episode is a new Choice. Voice De-Clicker - All Clicks is audio poison, but I love that they did it. I love that sometimes things are deliberately awful, or uncomfortable with intention. Also Character A is a Small Dog is an instant classic.
TWO THOUSAND AND LATE - what can I say? I love watching a train wreck unfold.
The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy - I turned 42 this year. I HAD to fit this one in! And it was honestly a delight. H2G2 has been a love of mine since high school, and I was stunned to find that there are SIX series including one produced in 2018, and it still had much of the original cast! I think I had only found the first two series when I first listened, all the way back in 2000. This was my birthday present to myself, and I love me for doing it.
The Harbingers - I don't really think I need to tell Tumblr to listen to a Gabriel Urbina show, but if you needed me to tell you that, I'm glad I told you! I also relistened to Unseen this year, and The Harbingers is a wonderful companion to that delightful podcast.
Mission: Rejected - I have had a fondness for Mission: Rejected for a few years now. I'm always happy to see a new episode in my podcatcher, and I just adore the EMF crew. I love how absolutely silly this show gets, while still managing some very good drama mixed in.
Stories From Ylelmore - SFY got "special treatment" status this year - new episodes get listened to in the last hour of my workday - because of how much I want to be able to focus on it and I'm almost never bothered after 5pm. It is, of of course, a gem of a podcast itself, but the way ItMe puts that sauce on "link in the description" at the end credits never fails to disappoint. It's the little things.
Honorable mentions go to Breathing Space, Travelling Light, The Green Horizon, Metropolis, October Jones and Fish With Legs, and World Gone Wrong, all of which I listened to this year and were absolutely wonderful, but got write-ups last year. Everything I said then is still true.
