Thank you for your service

So I just finished the latest episode of @kingmakerpod.bsky.social ,and it felt very... Final. But thankfully it finished with a sentence I was hoping for, 'See you when we're back for season four'

Did you freehand it, or did you buy a pattern? I want to make a fox for my BF, since it's his favourite character

AAAAAAAAAAA I'M OBSESSED

I've heard ads, but never actually got to it. I'm completely hooked up on @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social

Oh, which ones?

So, guess who's back?

Seriously, if feels a very important place left in my heart by #AlbaSalix

Why none of you told me about @kingmakerpod.bsky.social before? One of the best audio dramas I've found so far!

I know! I love it!

Some people really do like burritos - Desert Skies - The Shoutbox Blog Premise I honestly don’t know where to start describing it. You know these weird films, ones that don’t really seem like much you first look at them? Ones are virtually impossible to explain to yo...

So, my new review is online! Today I write about one of my absolute highlights of last year, @desertskiespodcast.com
Check it out! It's really awesome audiodrama!

Age-related aginess is my new fav phrase.

Oh yeah, that's the best. I'm taking a handful of meds for breakfast, and then another to fight the reflux they give me 😅It's fun to be an adult!

If @desertskiespodcast.com does that, I'll be happy to over the cost 😅

You win a soecial prize! I don't know what it is yet tho...

A screenshot of MS Word with the text: 'It’s been a really weird couple of years, right? I bet that all of us, dear Reader, has at least a couple of things that we didn’t have on our bingo card that actually happened. Global shortage of toilet paper for one, or the global pandemic that caused it. Or maybe US government admitting UFO is real. Or any of the wars that broke out. While all of these for me are more in the disappointed but not surprised category, crying and sobbing while listening to a recording of a text from a microwave burrito wrapper was the true surprise of the last year for me.'

Gues what audiodrama am I reviewing?

No, thank YOU! You have given me, aside from the piece of great, inquisitive SF, also the most beautiful love story I've heard in audio fiction, so all the thanks to you.

Remember to let me know what you think of them, and if you want more recommendations follow me here or check out my blog at shoutbox.blog

Let me know what do you think!

When they did that in the credits for 'Unwell' it really did something to me lol

Red Valley is fenomenal, but I remember getting a tiniest bit confused in the S1 with the plot 😅

*squeels in fanboy*

WAIT, YOU'RE PLAYING WILDER I MTO?!

BTW, @seanthomason.bsky.social , did I mention that this profile (and the blog it links to) is dedicated to this exact question?

Ah, and you mentioned horror? In my opinion you won't find better (with all due respect to all the others!) than 'Wake of Corrosion', it's a slow burning horror about two brothers who go camping to rebuild their bond and get a digital detox, but return to a collapse of not only society but reality

See a review at shoutbox.blog!

4. Or if you want to go even deeper into SF, you definitely have to see 'Marsfall', which aside from being really well written cosmic horror on par with Alien, also tackles questions about humanity, AI, and what makes a person, well, a person. And has soldiers in space, did I mention that already?

Ha, I'm only starting haha!

3. Or maybe a visit to the future? Check out 'Moonbase Theta Out', which is not only a great take on dystopian future, and in later seasons a thrilling action adventure, but also a great piece of classic sci-fi trying to ask 'what if' questions about not-so-far earth and it's society.
