Things are getting a little mysterious and scifi on this #AudioDramaSunday!
Have you listened to Strange Air from Tony Martinez and Michael P. Greco? The series ended back on 10 Nov 2022.
Ten years ago, Malcolm Smith was the host of “Strange Air”, a successful radio show about the paranormal. One night, during a live broadcast, Malcolm vanished into thin air. To this day, no one knows what happened. Now his daughter, Chase Smith, is in her last year of film school and she’s making a documentary about her father’s disappearance.

How about a little dramatized scifi for your #AudioDramaSunday?
Iowa Chapman and the Last Dog from Gen-Z Media is a great tale that comes with an "educators" edition that explains the science behind the story.
https://gzmshows.com/shows/listing/the-last-dog/
In an apocalyptic future, climate change and overconsumption have made our planet a very different place. The seas have risen, resources are scarce…and animals have disappeared off the face of the earth. Most people believe they never existed at all. 12-year-old Iowa Chapman is not most people. And when she’s rescued by what might be the last remaining dog, she realizes the responsibility she has to keep this amazing creature safe. Pursued by the evil Regulators, Iowa and Doggo set off on a journey in search of Haven, a legendary island where some believe animals might still be living.

The narrator accepted my offer and we’re getting started producing the audiobook this weekend 😄#WritersOfMastodon #AudioFiction
Pro tip, #FictionPodcast peeps who publish trailer episodes for their full episodes:
That's a pretty cool thing. It can help keep your audience connected when you're working on your next episode. We know these take a while.
But once the full episode is out, the trailer episode for that episode is no longer needed.
Delete it. Keep your feed clean!
(And while you're at it, see if your show trailer needs to be updated to remove "coming soon" stuff.)
I got a couple of audiobook auditions. One was good and one was very clearly an AI voice reading the text. The good one got me very excited about the process. I just hope I can make it work.

Today's story 'Always in our Hearts' is a little different to some of my other writing. This is a rather personal and autobiographical piece about my Mum which I found incredibly challenging to write.
When you experience a life changing loss, it shapes you and the people around you forever. Especially when the loss is of a parent.
I hope you enjoy reading it. Maybe it resonates with you as well. I'd love to know what you thought of it.
Read on my blog or listent to my podcast. If you like it, I'd really appreciate a boost.🚀

Though it's a sample size of one, and correlation is not causation, this is a pretty compelling bit of evidence that appearing in this little newsletter has a pretty dramatic effect on getting new people to listen to a complete #AudioDrama or #FictionPodcast.
See that big spike at day 7? That's when the show was listed in The End.
That's... groovy. If more #AudioFiction folks would incorporate the free https://op3.dev prefix (which takes less than 5 minutes), even more correlative data like these could be gathered. For ALL promotional activities. Huge.

I keep track of all of them on a handy-dandy spreadsheet that even has a submission form! Check it out at https://evoterra.link/twi2mas for [checks notes] 156 #Mastodon accounts, either individuals, brands, or shows from the world of #fictionpodcasts

2/ Of the 35 shows I found, 12 of them—34%—had no discoverable contact info on their website. No open DMs. No email addresses in their public RSS feeds. Nada.
This isn't great. Now, I realize that for some #AudioFiction and #PodcastFiction creators, the act of creating and publishing is enough, and they may not wish to have anyone contact them. I get that.
But I don't think most of them are making that choice. I think hosting companies are making it for them.
And that's a shame.

I neee more short seasons/series in my #AudioFiction diet.

If your a listener and don’t see your favorite creators here, tell them about it!
It's pretty crazy to verbalize (textualize?), but I've featured 54 fiction podcasts in the newsletter since inception just a few months ago.
As a reminder, featured titles are those completed audio fiction shows that I (Evo) personally recommend. I've listened to every episode and am a very big fan.
But those 54 recommendations are scattered across 19 issues of the newsletter. Some have asked for a comprehensive list, and I've finally pulled the trigger on that.
https://theend.fyi/evos_recommendations is the page created, subject to the limitations of my current CMS, so bear with it.
I've grouped the selections by "main theme", then sorted them alphabetically within the grouping.
So if you're looking for a fiction fix and want something special, take a browse.

Hey, so remember a little while ago I was talking about creating some kind of guerilla-style microfiction audio drama project conceived specifically for Mastodon?
Uh... Maybe you should follow this account:
And if you ever felt a strong desire to boost, share, etc, I wouldn't stop you!

According to various dark scholars, the "Ill Omen" are a race of creatures that may have been the basis for Washington Irving 's "Headless Horseman." Few know the entities' origins, but they are characterized as ghastly horsemen with no head. However, it is said when they decapitate their victim they take the severed head as their own - the skull becoming wreathed in blue flames, slowly devouring the soul within. Their moniker comes from the fact that their arrival is preceded by bad omens - birds flying into windows, mirrors cracking, black cats crossing one's path, etc. One may also hear the tortured screams of the heads they've taken, bellowing in agony as their spirits are slowly burned away in cobalt fire.

#introductions (better late than never!)
I'm originally from #Quebec Canada (oui je parle français!) but moved to #Minneapolis USA years ago.
I like to make things up, usually stories or songs. I created The Skylark Bell, an original spooky #FictionPodcast for which I also compose #Music under my stage name, Cannelle.
I love all things weird and wonderful - eerie is entertaining! I'm also passionate about kindness, animals, #Neurodiversity, French-Canadian culture, and food.
#Introduction time again, since I'm on a new smaller instance.
Hi. 👋 I'm Evo, and I've been in #podcasting since the beginning. Like "40th podcast ever" and "author of Podcasting for Dummies" beginning. Yeah.
These days I'm focused on #FictionPodcast content (think #AudioDrama, #RadioPlay, or other flavors of #AudioFiction).
I live in #Phoenix, #Ariziona, am a #CraftBeer nerd, player of #DiscGolf, love to #Travel (mostly to #Belize these days), am a #grandpa, and a nice #atheist. Usually.
The city of Nighthead was one of the first cities to adopt the "nocturnalism" movement - a lifestyle that is predominantly lived during the night rather than day. The city incorporates many Obscura, including the Black Pyramid (or the Pyramid of Nox). It's also home to the much reviled "Dark Hats," a pejorative term for a local religious sect.
