Making an audio drama is like "Oh, I like those voices in my head. I should make them kiss. Oooooh I should share this with other people."

Dead West Review

It’s the Gilded Age of America, and Conrad Ward (Devin Steffens) sees dead people. Conrad Ward lives in the American West in an era of thiev

Here’s my review of the Western horror podcast Dead West; a brilliant series with great writing, cool music and gruesome sound effects. Five stars!

My favorite comment to date.

How you feel when you're Truly Deeply Evil but you find an indie audio drama/podcast community that is kind and welcoming and gets your vibe and you just want everyone to get puppy kisses and shit.

me and my homies support real artists who put their passion into their pieces instead of a machine who rips off the hard work of talented peeps

it's simple really: october is for horror movies with highly stylized villains and iconic monsters because they make for good costumes. early november is for gothic horror because of the fog and decay etc. late november is for zombies (commentary on consumerist culture). december is for psychological horror and stuff where they're trapped in a room because that's when you have to go to holiday parties with your family.

Alive and thriving! Some recommendations but know there are dozens if not hundreds of amazing shows being produced TODAY. It is a great time to dive in and find a new favorite and follow along. Hi Nay: Supernatural horror fiction podcast with a Filipina protagonist and Filipino supernatural elements. It has multiple BIPOC LGBTQ+ characters, and primarily takes place in Toronto

The Grotto: a liminal horror podcast with original music and a full cast that explores the thin line between grief, pain, mourning, and loss. Follow Matt who turns to spelunking for solace. As Matt battles grief, he questions if the caves are playing tricks or if something else lurks within Re:Dracula: takes the famous horror tale, breaks it up chronologically (every entry of this epistolary novel has a date), and sends the story directly to your podcatcher as it happens. Every time something happens to the characters, Re: Dracula will publish an episode, in real time. Some entries will be brief, and others will be long and intense.

Silt Verses: In this horror/fantasy serial drama, Carpenter and Faulkner, two worshippers of an outlawed god, travel up the length of their deity’s great black river, searching for holy revelations. Dead West (self promo): a horror fiction podcast that blends folk horror and weird western themes told in a re-imagined American Wild West. Follow Conrad as he sheds light on the creatures that lurk in the shadows.

Malevolent: Arkham Private Investigator Arthur Lester wakes up with no memory of who he is or what has happened, only a nameless, eerie voice guiding him through the darkness.

Are audio drama podcasts, horror podcasts, etc still in vogue?

I remember them being everywhere in college, TBT, Tannis, Limetown, White Vault, King Falls, Bright Sessions etc but i feel like, at least in my friend group, there's been no discussion of anything new in years.

Gothic Western is one of my favorite sub-genres to sit with and enjoy. Now, I have started Preacher based on several recommendations but when I went to watch it Netflix played the last episode first and I was ignorant to the fact until pretty far in, so I had the a lot of the ending spoiled. I want to go back but I find the motivation hard to find. Also, special mention to Penny Dreadful and Supernatural for being super formative for Dead West but neither really sits firmly within Western Gothic.
