The last episode of The Black Tapes was really stretching it for me. Confusing the geo location data from a mountain in Turkey with the IP address from your studio? Really? Seems like a total ass-pull to me, unless I didn't understand it correctly (which is absolutely possible, since I listened to the episode at the gym).

Spoiler tags. FFS, I have 7000 episodes in my backlog; I can't be caught up on everything and that is something I would have preferred not knowing.
😞😧
Yeah, I lost interest after the first few shows of S2. Magnus Archives, NoSleep, and Knifepoint are the places for good podcast horrori gotta say, TBT S2 was a real disappointment. i wish they stuck with anthology style story telling that had genuinely creepy moments. it's become too serialized and i don't really care that much.
Holy fucking shit! I'm so sorry! For some reason I didn't even think about that and I usually always try to. Man, again, I'm super sorry.

He does podcasts? He's one of my favorite authors; Ancestor and the Infected trilogy were so damn good and fucked upI forgive you. 🙂
There's a new horror podcast that's just starting up that was pretty good. I'll try to find it again.
But if you want some good horror, I would also suggest Scott Sigler's podcasts. Infected and Ancestor are great.
I forgive you. 🙂

Are there any more podcasts like The Incomparable Radio Theater? I really liked the 50s fictional radio story vibe they were going for and would love more.

Thank you. It really bummed me out, because I also hate getting spoiled, even if it's something I'm not going to watch/listen/play in a while. I'm somehow always able to remember that spoiler.
You want to check out Thrilling Adventure Hour. It's basically what Incomparable Radio Theater is trying to be as good as. A second choice would be Tales of the Extraordinary. For a not quiet as humorous take, there's Prometheus Radio Theatre, Gypsy Audio, and Decoder Ring Theatre, though Gypsy Audio is very hit and miss. I also want to recommend to you both Chatterbox Audio Theater. Lastly, there's also Seminar, which is a Canterbury-esque anthology. There are a few more, but I haven't listened to them yet and so won't recommend.
Oh no it's got a rss, SorryPersonally me, I hate any "podcast" that's on youtube only. Defeats the point of listening while I'm doing something else, like yard work or driving.

Limetown was fucking amazing! I completely loved the atmosphere but the season ended so fast. Now I'm listening to TANIS and I'm hooked! Went through the whole first season in a day. I already had listened to We're Alive and that was also an awesome podcast. I tried listening to King Falls AM but the stories were a bit too short and tacky for my tastes.
Is there anything like Night Vale or Kings Fall but eerie? I love those premises of the town radio and news in a place where weird otherworldly things are happening, but I'd much prefer if they were actually creepy rather than going for humor or surrealismKings Fall AM is absolutely hilarious and does develop several continuous storylines overtime. It's what I thought Night Vale would be when I heard the description of Night Vale but I didn't end up liking Night Vale and love Kings Fall AM, so take that for what you will.

Kings Fall AM is mostly a buddy comedy show that occasionally has stories. Go into with that view instead of thinking of it as a heavy serialized podcast and it gets better. Best use of bleeping in a podcast on the internet too. The old foul mouthed fisherman gets me every time.
Welcome to the Transcontinental Bridge!
It's an alternate 2016, and Watchtower 10 sits in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, keeping lonely watch over the Transcontinental Bridge. Each watchtower sits hundreds of feet away from the Bridge, broadcasting regular traffic reports to ensure that proper safety precautions are taken. These lighthouses (for cars) are filled with a carefully selected (and very capable) crew.
Watchtower 10's necessary personnel happen to be: a generalist DJ who spends her free time relaying folklore from abandoned parts of the Bridge, her supervisor (who's only there because he lost a bet), an unfailingly optimistic Bridge Travel Agent, and a groundskeeper who has a thing for romantic comedies.
Unbeknownst to the general public (but totally knownst to each watchtower's crew), these stations also hold a secret that could potentially destroy the world...or save it
Was just wondering this. Are there any series that sound like audio logs (ie Bioshock or Dead Space)? That could work well in podcast form. Like the daily transmissions from a survivor, or a collection of audio recordings from some doomed dystopia?
Also, anything with a spy thriller bent? Like the podcast are the recorded interrogations of a captured agents, or the conversations of handler and agent? Stuff like that?
No, Archive and Magnus aren't really what I was thinking in that regard.Archive 81, Magnus Archive (you silly), Help Me, Wolf 359, Scotch
Not that I know of. The closest thing I've heard is Lara Bond.
An audio drama podcast that follows one reporter's journey to the truth behind the sudden appearance of a 150-year-old lifeboat in the middle of Puget Sound.
But works of fiction have been doing that all the time for decades. It's nothing newTrying Tanis and I find both Nic and the hacker lady quite annoying. Especially the hacker.
I'm not a big fan of using real life deaths for their fictional entertainment too.
No, not PNWSMore Pacific Northwest stuff? I dig it.
No, not PNWS
Are Tanis and The Black Tapes supposed to be the same universe? Nic seems like such an expert on stuff on The Black Tapes but he seems so clueless on Tanis. He's like a totally different person.
Wow, what the hell. Why did I stop listening to Limetown before? It clicked with me now, didn't last time for some reason
They are the same universe. Setting aside the necessity of portrayal for plot purposes, he's taking a different role in being the reporter on Tanis rather than Producer.
So in TBT he's fact checking and researching while Alex is traveling and conducting interviews and addionally editing the final product, While on Tanks he's chasing leads and conducting interviews etc... Like Alex so he's not doing the fact checking and research.
My favorites so far have been Across The Street, Thrown Away, and The Man UpstairsI started with The Magnus Archives a couple of days ago and it's pretty good. I only got bored during the Piper episode, but the rest is fun. Just started with episode 10. Which ones are considered the best?
E: I'm also considering dropping The Black Tapes, because I don't feel like it's going anywhere and the last ass-pull really soured me on the show. I fear the same for Tanis.
E2: Ohhhh, I love that depiction of a vampire. Really, really good.
