Alice Isn't Dead: Don't Tell Alice Episode 5 and Episode 6 (current) Really enjoying the exploration of the life after, Keisha's joy of married life. The past vs the present. Gods the music is gorgeous. It's making me nostalgic in the best way, I want to relisten the whole show.

Hello from the Hallowoods Episodes 41-43 I'm heading towards the S1 finale and now I'm in territory I haven't heard before (I started relistening after Ep40). Having a blast. If you're quiet enough you can hear me make happy stim noises as I wander through the dark pines.

The Very Prudent Decisions of Hortlakçı Süleyman Hoca Episodes 3 & 4 (current) I LOVE THIS SCHOLAR/FOOL <3 I'm excited that Episode 4 is a part 1 (with an amazing scene between Süleyman and the Old Grandfather with the White Beard, played by Karim Kronfli) -> digging our teeth into a longer story. Yum. The storytelling of this show is so kind and tender and fun and it has great horror moments. Truly amazing work. Everyone listen to this show NOW.

Leaving Corvat Episodes 1-6 This show feels inspired by Alice Isn't Dead, or maybe that's me listening to both in the same week, hah. It's a little odd to listen to an Americana story from a European creator. There's a lot of fatphobia, bodyshaming/horror-genre typical ableism, and offhand prejudice against the homeless in this one (no CW given by the show). I do really like the twist that's sneaking into these episodes and the background score is great. Enjoyable enough to continue listening; I'm noting the CW in my spreadsheet.

When Angels Visit Armadillo The full limited series (8 episodes) This was an incredible, very sapphic "investigative true crime podcast" story set in the US south, small town, Black lesbian lead. Great mystery and I adore good unreliable witnesses/narrators writing. Angels? Aliens? Bunch of bastards? Something else? Guess you'll have to listen and decide for yourself, reader. Immediately on my To Relisten list.

Vignettes Episodes 1-6 (current) Someone recommended this show for me for my BINGO card and gods fuck yes this is right up my alley. Improvised microfiction with a mystery/story you kinda have to puzzle for yourself? DELIGHTFUL.

WOE.BEGONE Episode 252 (S21 finale, current) We didn't bounce to the moon but that's okay, I love to chase a dream. I adore the Big Plot choices made in this finale. I'm incredibly excited to see these develop into a (this twist of the show specific) exploration of capitalism, corpocracy, and inescapable surveillance state(s).

AUDIO FICTION BINGO Finally, since we're halfway through the year now (bizarre) I figured I'd share the current state of my personal BINGO cards. I'm aiming to fill every card out with each podcast only counting towards one box - not the bingo rules, I just like making my life difficult. So I still have some listening to do (yahoo yippee) (Hfth and Leaving Korvat aren't on here because I haven't reached current yet)
