is it only me or are the people behind Rabbits thinking that Neil Patrick Harris will swoop down and give them 50k after he recommended them once? like with the over-the-top goal and logarithmic tiers that do NOT have a proportional reward level and stuff? Are they going to @ him anytime soon when they see they're not even halfway there? Wil Terry Miles' hubris bring them down? Tune in tomorrow to find out. I personally can't wait.

Oh, gosh.

I don’t know who this is; and I would never ask you to our yourself, but I could have ghost written this message.

Probably not as well worded as you did, if we’re being honest.

I really don’t know.

Someone in a Discord I’m in commented a few times in how lazy the Kickstarter campaign looked, and I 100% agree.

The rewards are sloppy, and don’t seem to be worth most of the pledges.

(I do understand they’re rewards and not supposed to be monetarily equal to the pledge necessarily. But come on, guys.)

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they reached out to celebs or something, or had a “ringer” in wait.

I can’t wait to see what happens, no matter what.

Ps: apparently the TBTP mailing list or PNWS just rolled over into the PRA/Rabbits one, I saw people in the tag say? Y’all will have to let me know how they respond if they don’t meet the goal…..

Hey guys!

How’s everyone doing? I know this time of year can be super stressful…

Ignoring that it’s holiday season…. we’ve made it through Inktober, and we’re fresh off of NaNoWriMo (and Scrivember!), and we’re well into podcast Secret Santa season. There’s also the Yuletide fic exchange, and who knows what else.

But, we had an idea that we wanted to share with you guys. I know we’re normally a blog that’s pretty salty, and tends to point out a lot of negative or problematic things about the podcasts we love. But we wanted to do something different, something positive this month.

We all love to support podcasts, be it through Kickstarter, Patreon, fan works, word of mouth, whatever. But there’s something really simple that we can all do to help the podcasts we love, that a lot of us aren’t. And it doesn’t cost a dime.

Podcast reviews.

For the month of December, we want to encourage all of you, to make an effort to rate and review some (or all, heck, don’t let us put limits on you!) of the podcasts you listen to. Good, bad, somewhere in the middle- it doesn’t matter. Just be honest.

We do ask that you actually leave a review. Not just a star rating. (Especially if you’re leaving a lower star review.) Let the creators know why you’re rating it what you’re rating it. What’s good? What’s bad? How could they change your mind?

Also, try to discern whether something is objectively bad; or just not to your taste. For example: “It isn’t believable, it sounds like the actors are reading off the script,” could help a podcaster improve. However, “I’m sick of horror podcasts!!! One star!!! Stop making horror podcasts!!!” isn’t constructive or objective. (Salt is always welcome in our inbox- but let’s keep this activity positive and/or constructive! Otherwise, it defeats the purpose.)

Reviews can really make a difference to the people who make these podcasts. The more reviews a podcast gets, the better it’ll do on with the charts, and reviews help potential listeners know what to expect.

It also shows podcasters that we’re listening, and they aren’t just screaming into the void. Additionally, feedback helps them gauge how they’re doing, and what their audience thinks.

It’s an easy, free, and low pressure way to help support them and the content they give us.

Here’s what to do:

-Rate (and review!) the podcasts you listen to on the podcast app of your choice. Aim for at least one a day, but go for as many as you like! Bonus points if it’s a podcast with less than ten reviews. At that point, any extra reviews can make all the difference!

-Type something helpful or supportive in the review box. Whatever you do, just be honest. (And not hateful! That doesn’t help anyone. Hit up our ask box if you need to be snarky, friends.)

-Post on social media using the hashtag #audiodramaadvent . Share your review, share the podcasts you reviewed- whatever you like! Encourage your friends to do the same!

And finally, please share this post. The more people we get involved, the more love we can share with the podcasts we all enjoy.

We hope to see a lot of you guys participate! Let us know if you have any questions! We’re looking forward to seeing lots of shiny new reviews on all our favorite podcasts!

-💜, all of us here at your friendly neighborhood salt blog.

A quick note to podcasters on international reviews: To see reviews from people with other countries, you need to check itunes directly on your computer, not the app. If not, you might miss some super sweet reviews!

From this morning’s Black Tapes newsletter:

“There have been a couple of articles on podcasts like ours in the New York Times. These podcasts are “fiction” unlike ours, which is, of course, totally real. Still…we’re feeling incredibly left out… they leave out Pacific Northwest Stories entirely.”

…guys, maybe there’s another reason you didn’t consider beyond ‘didn’t do her research’….

i’m fucking popcorn dot gif for days over here about PNWS trying to force fandom to play by their rules

that always goes well

[heydudenicepod]

Richard Strand is a real person, so lose the false fictional disclaimer bit, and, if you're going to do a fan blog you need to include this "This is a fan blog, and is in no means affiliated with the Black Tapes Podcast" on the FRONT PAGE. - Ruby Carver (Administrator, Strand Institute)

(( Fixed it, sorry about that.))

“i’d pay for the video chat just to tell terry miles to stop” i mean first of all, same. second of all, is this his way of saying “for $8000 a month, i will stop” ????

[heydudenicepod]

Sooo.

Anyone feel like discussing that rabbits Kickstarter? 🙄

[heydudenicepod]

so, limetown theory that i’m sure has been done before:

so we know next to nothing about the haddock family, only knowing that because of family drama, emil was estranged from lia’s family. 

then why would lia be “the apple of his eye”, despite having no real relationship with her throughout her life?

well, i mean, what’s more likely to get you ostracized from a family than, say, fathering a child with your brother’s wife?

Audio Dramas + Horror

Ghosts don’t actually exist. Do they?

me, hearing lia haddock’s voice for the first time in 690 days:

[heydudenicepod]

anyWAYS i am super fucking hyped for limetown. i listened to the teaser and got chills all fucking over

[heydudenicepod]

literally up until the last episode they kept introducing more puzzle pieces without ever telling us how or why they fit or even, yknow, what the picture was. and then there was the whole forced hetero romance thing (which i have never been a fan of because i did the math once and alex is in the same age range as charlie strand, yknow, richard’s own damn daughter???) 

and howard strand is back for no reason, and literally none of the questions we had along the way got answered. we had all these things that we thought were going to be important to the plot, like coralee’s disappearance, and not a damn one of them mattered in the end. 

i mean, at least they ended it instead of stringing us along for another couple years. that was decent of them. 

i just finished the black tapes podcast and i wish i could say that my soul feels cleansed now that i am free of ever listening to any more PNWS content but honestly i am just burning up inside about how cheap that entire ending was
