give me away is so fucking good you guys. it’s so worth your time. the character drama and interpersonal relationships (literally!! haha) are so real and visceral and human and they get you to care so deeply about them and then they get put in a blender (aliens in your brain) and it fucks so hard.

it’s sci fi as a backdrop for drama and they do The Most. i cannot recommend it enough it is phenomenal.

i just realized that my fav book series, the thursday mursder club, totally has the same vibes as the @ameliapodcast - the humor, the quirky characters, the plot twists and turns..... ughhhhhh both are so good

Who gave the fable and folly network the AUDACITY to have so many good shows?? Like??

Ok but I'm a bit newer to the fandom. What came of that Article? Was it all true? It's really hard to find any proper information on it.

OKAY SO it's been a while since this happened so I may have forgotten some details but basically this Newt person released that article and at first people believed it and took it pretty seriously but after about a day or so people started to realize a ton of really weird things about it.

First off all of their "proof" was anonymous tips which, sure, that doesn't mean they aren't true but it's not proof so you have to take things with a grain of salt. Not a huge deal. But people noticed that Newt would use the names of TMA characters as alias's for them despite a lot of the people saying they worked on TMA and had a bad experience which again, isn't proof of anything just kinda disrespectful and weird? But Newt also used accounts of people who very publicly are known and still working with the company, name dropped them and used their names without consent or having been told before hand. I want to say Harlan Guthrie might've been one and a few others, all of which basically had to go online and be like "hey idk this person and I never gave consent for them to use my name or my words against the company I am actively working for"

At that point it hardly mattered if what those people said was true, because Newt clearly didn't care, they just cared about writing a bad name for the company and not the safety or well being of the people they claimed to be representing. THEN Alex was in an unrelated interview where, according to him, he mentioned that Newt had interviewed him in the past about an article that was about something completely different and they ended up using stuff they got from that interview in their article slandering him.

THEN people found out that Newt worked for Fable & Folly which is a rival podcasting company which, even though it's mentioned in the article now, was not mentioned originally (oh so conveniently) and was only later added when they where called out for clearly hiding their job title knowing people would know they where actually just pummeling a rival company rather than trying to bring some kind of justice. Fable & Folly had to come out and basically be like "uh yeah we didn't ask them to do that please don't sue us"

So overall the important takeaway is that it hardly matters anymore if what Newt said was true, or if the anonymous tips where real people, because they fucked it up for themselves by being stupid and selfish and now people have absolutely no reason to trust them. So either they lied about all of it or they made sure nothing was gonna be done about it, both are plausible.

why is hello from the magic tavern like an actual podcast. also why are there so many ads.

ohhh I see I see. so out of the two categories 'never been touched by the sun' and 'unfortunately got monetized much to the downfall of the first few minutes of run time' I guess this one's the latter

give me away’s crossover episodes are the best i’ve ever seen. they slot in with the plot in a way that manages to be both self contained and not feel shoehorned in. they add depth to the ongoing story in a way that feels intentional and real and impactful!

i feel like other podcast crossovers i’ve listened to feel like bottle episodes in a bad way, where they don’t really add anything, and are just base repetitions/introductions to both source materials. give me away it feels like we are gaining depth to the characters!! it’s rich and juicy character beats!!! in a crossover!!!!!

if you like character driven sci fi dramas: listen to give me away!!! it’s worth your time.

The irony of The Ad Man Cometh being interrupted mid episode with an ad is incredible

[hyperfix8edcryptid]

Just listened to this episode and was truly moved by this line from the sentient 1920s radio

[ophthalmotropy]

The ads played in between episodes of fiction podcasts are home to some of the unfunniest people known to man.
