Hey!!! You commented on my post about limetown haha which is why I’m here. You offered to give podcast recs! What are your favorites?? I’m looking for some new ones

I completely forgot I had this ask, excuse the delay. Here's a selection of 30 podcasts I enjoyed from a broad range of genres: hopefully at least one appeals.

Let me know if you're after something more specific.

Arden: (Investigative, Comedy) On the 25th of December, 2007, heiress and young actress Julie Capsom crashed her car into a tree and fled into a nearby forest clearing, leaving a trail that seemingly vanished into thin air, and a dismembered torso in the trunk. A decade later, Bea, the first reporter on the scene, and Brenda, a detective on the case, are hosting a true crime podcast about it, and neither is remotely impressed with what the other has to say. Arden is also a retelling of various Shakespeare plays.

Desperado: (Supernatural, Adventure, Horror Elements) In a modern world of gods and magic, three young people, all under the patronage of death dieties, embark on the same adventure for different reasons: for safety, for revenge, and to kill The Old Man in the Sky. Fantastic banter and killer action sequences.

The Far Meridian: (Magical Realism) An agoraphobic young woman wakes one day to discover her lighthouse home has travelled to somewhere entirely unfamilar. As this continues to happen day after day, she uses the opportunity to search for her missing brother. A really unique and charming piece of fiction.

Gastronaut: (Sci-Fi) Interstellar travel audio blog of a former food critic as he travels to an active warzone to get firsthand experience with unfamilar cuisine. ft. Disgruntled martian nobility, sinister businessmen, explosive mushrooms, forbidden snacks, rogue revolutionary artists, and the consequences of your actions.

Girl in Space: (Sci-Fi) The Girl In Space lives alone on a space station, doing science, making cheese, rewatching Jurassic Park, and tending to the plants, animals, and artificial sun entrusted to her. It's a little lonely, but not a bad life. Would be a shame if someone came along to ruin it.

The Goblet Wire: (Microfiction, Weird Fiction) A surreal microfiction with horror elements, taking the form of phone calls to an audio-based game in which the voice of the mysterious Dictator leads each player through fantastic and horrific world and story.

Hello From The Hallowoods: (Horror, Supernatural) A dramatic entity beyond your comprehension visits your nightmares to tell stories of the people (in varying degrees of human and alive) that inhabit the strange, deadly, and beautiful Hallowoods, as they find meaning and sometimes eachother.

Hi Nay: (Supernatural Horror) A year after moving to Toronto, sound designer Mari finds herself drawn into helping people around the city with various horrific supernatural encounters due to her babaylan (shaman) family background. It quickly becomes apparent that there's something much more sinister and complicated happening in the background.

Inco: (Microfiction, Sci-Fi) A perpetually exausted interstellar information trader and her peppy AI find a mysterious (read: bratty) boy floating in space and are inadventently pulled into a world political intrigue.

Inn Between: (Fantasy) Ever curious about what the D&D characters get up to at the tavern between sessions? A generally lighter-hearted (with some exceptions) with richly-written and always-growing characters. A really interesting format, too: a lot of the adventure appears in the "next time" and "last time" segments which makes it all flow really nicely. Not a tabletop podcast.

Janus Descending: (Sci-Fi, Horror, Tragedy) A xenoarcheologist and a xenopaleontologist are sent to a study a dead city on a distant world. Nobody likes what they find there. A unique format, with one set of logs presented first to last, and the other last to first. I'd recommend listening to the supercut for this one.

The Kingmaker Histories: (Steampunk, Weird Fiction, Adventure, Fantasy Elements) In the Valorian Socialist Republic 1911, on her 25th birthday, tailor's apprentice Colette experienced the worst headache of her life. As a result, she fleed from town with a human artificer and a fae chef - both now smugglers - pursued by an utterly furious flesh-crafter. I'm not sure I'm selling how good this podcast is but it's very good.

Life With Althaar: (Sci-Fi, Comedy) A human repairman moves to a space station on the edge of human territory that is perpetually on the edge of self-destruction, and ends up with a less-than-ideal last-minute roomate. Althaar is polite, friendly, deeply interested in human culture, and eager to be friends. Unfortunately he belongs to a species that sends humans into a visceral panic at a glance.

Lost Terminal: (Sci-Fi, Hopepunk) Seth is a very lonely AI living on a satellite. His crew were left stranded aboard with no hope of return, and it's been longer than he can count since then. The Earth below him has changed dramatically, and with only a few other AI down there to talk to, he's very lonely. But! He has a plan to make some new friends.

Love and Luck: (Romance, Slice-of-Life and Urban Fantasy Elements) Voice messages cataloguing two young men falling in love and opening a queer dry bar together.

Midnight Radio: (Light Supernatural, Romance) Sybil McIntyre, host of the ever-popular 1950's nightly radio hour, begins exchanging letters with an old fan who has reluctantly returned to visit Sybil's beloved town.

Midst: (Weird Fiction, Western, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Elements) The old-western planetoid islet of Midst floats, rotating steadily, in a sea of reality-warping darkness. Down in the town of Stationary Hill, things are in movement, and vistors from the light above are about to bring unanticipated change. ft a monocycle-riding monster-hunter, radio-famous airship paladins, deadly mica, the universe's peppiest cultist, good dogs, and a really strange businessman.

The Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality: (Weird Fiction, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy and Horror Elements) A friendly AI tour guide leads you on a tour of the Mistholme Museum, explaining the strange and often alternatural story behind each item.

Monstrous Agonies: (Supernatural, Relationship Advice) An interpersonal advice show for supernatural entities and other people living liminally in the modern world.

Night Shift: (Urban Fantasy, Investigative) Set in a modern world with the addition of magic, which manifests in small inherited skills/traits, can warp people in horrific ways, or can be manipulated with the right science (and intense work) to induce superpowers. Sebastian Fenn is a barista at Night Shift Coffee, but since things are slow he's decided to start a podcast to talk about various mysteries, crimes and conspiracies around the city, and of course finds himself deeper in them than he'd intended.

The Pasithea Powder: (Sci-Fi, Thriller Elements? I think?) The last major interplanetary war was full of atrocities, but none more infamous then the creation of Pasithea Powder, a memory altering drug which was used to horrible effect and landed it's entire team of creators in prison. So when decorated war hero Captain Sophie Green sees one of them wandering free, worlds away from his prison, she gets in touch with a very old, estranged friend: one Dr. Jane Gonzalez, who's behind bars for the very same reason.

SCP: Find Us Alive: (Weird Fiction, Supernatural, Horror and Slice-of-Life elements) You don't need to know anything about SCP to enjoy this. A research team gets trapped in an underground research facility when the complex collapses and the building is dragged into a pocket dimension. The tear it was designed to study begins creating tiny copies of itself, generating strange entities the team needs to deal with. And as if that wasn't enough, the entire situation physically resets itself every 30 days. And yet, this is genuinely also an office comedy.

Second Star to the Left: (Sci-Fi) Audio logs of a scout sent to explore and establish early infastructure new world, and the communications with the minder in charge of keeping her alive.

Seen and Not Heard: (Slice-of-Life, Drama) Seen and Not Heard follows Bet, who's still adjusting to life a year after a bout of severe illness, and the resulting hearing loss it caused. It's about the ways we make connection, and food, and art, and different kinds of grief.

The Silt Verses: (Horror) In a modern world where gods are abundant, frequently both commercialised and restricted, two devotees of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage.

SINKHOLE: (Sci-Fi, Weird Fiction) Forum posts from a data restoration community in a near future where the human brain is its own computer and one city hosts a massive void.

Starfall: (Fantasy) Seeking to escape her mysterious past and find some purpose, a young swordswoman joins a travelling actor's troupe. This new life is unfamilar and sometimes stressful, but she's taken under the wing of stagehand Fel, who's determined to help her feel welcome as she experiences the figurative and literal magic of the theatre for the first time.

The Tower: (Weird Fiction) A low-key, meditative podcasy about a young woman who decides to climb a seemingly endless tower. Gorgeous sound design.

The Vesta Clinic: (Sci-Fi) New GP Dr. Fae Underwood, with the expert transcription skills of resident AI Sec, writes up patient reports on human and alien patients of The Vesta Clinic, a medical clinic on the edge of human space. Really comfy and creative.

Victoriocity: (Steampunk, Mystery) Set in the steam-powered Victorian city of Even Greater London, an aspiring journalist and a tired detective find themselves working together to solve a strange murder. I say Victorian but as queen Victoria is now an extensive grandiocity of cyborg components following seven only-kind-of-successful assassinations, you may need to adjust expectations a little.

UPDATE: As of May 29, 2023, the 26th Detective Conan film, “Black Iron Submarine,” is now at 28th place in the All-Time Japanese Box Office!

At some point last week, “Black Iron Submarine,” which was the first-ever Detective Conan movie to surpass a domestic box office gross of 10 billion yen, surpassed the 12 billion yen mark and continues to climb.

Currently, the film sits fairly close behind these other films in the ranking:

“Top Gun: Maverick” (18th, 13.70b¥+)

“Bohemian Rhapsody” (20th, 13.51b¥)

“ET” and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (tied for 21st, 13.50b¥)

“Frozen II” (24th, 13.37b¥)

“Jurassic Park” (25th, 12.85b¥)

“Star Wars: Episode One — The Phantom Menace” (26th, 12.70b¥)

“Beauty and the Beast” (2017) (27th, 12.40b¥)

In addition, because of the film’s great success, it has been announced that “Black Iron Submarine” will be shown at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in Paris, France on June 16.

So a while back, I decided to make a spreadsheet listing all of the franchises/series/properties/etc. that I have a special attachment to, along with specific elements/aspects that I particularly enjoy in the media I consume, in order to see if there was any one variable all of them had in common.

It ended up looking like this:

I added the year I got interested in each property as well, and it’s been funny to see the progression - you can see how it starts with the movies my parents showed me at the beginning, then the video games my friends introduced me to (or that I fortuitously found out about after skipping vacation bible school one day but the full version of that story is for another time), then my special interests growing out of a mix of those...then that little stretch in 2020-2021 where I started dipping my toes into things out of morbid curiosity and getting genuinely invested in them whoops

 Anyway, I wanted to share this in case anyone else is interested in creating something like this. I think it’d be so fun to see what other people consider to be the most appealing aspects of the things they’re into, as well as how their tastes evolved over time! 

(Zoomed in versions of the spreadsheet under the cut for easy reading, as well as abbreviated explanations of how I got into everything on this list, if you’re interested.)

Jurassic Park - I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. My parents were like, “Hmm, she might like this - we’ll just make her cover her eyes for the scene where the T-rex eats that guy off of the toilet.”

Star Wars - Parents bought me Lego Star Wars for the Wii because THEY liked Star Wars but I had no clue what was going on, walked in on them watching Episode V and they let me stick around

Pokémon - All my closest friends were into it but I wasn’t allowed to play until finally my parents caved and let me get a DS and a copy of Platinum. Easily the franchise I am the most invested in ahaha

Sonic - Went to the phone store with my mom and they had a mobile version of Sonic 2 on one of the demo phones. Went home and got it on virtual console, literally defined how I play video games now

Mega Man - Picked up a copy of Nintendo Power (RIP) because it had Mewtwo on the cover. Featured character was Zero. His design activated all the neurons in my brain so I read everything I could about him and eventually got into the games, and now Mega Man characters own the deed to my house and my firstborn child

FNAF - Friend showed me a video of a playthrough at my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. Scared the pants off of me. Couldn’t stop watching it.

Alien/Aliens - The Great Movie Ride at Disney, but specifically the waiting room where they play the trailers for the movies (I closed my eyes during the actual Alien section of the ride because it freaked me the heck out). That trailer stuck in my brain and one day I just decided I wanted to watch it. I’ve never mentioned them before but I need y’all to understand that these are my favorite movies of all time and I literally wrote a college essay about why they are so good

Metroid - Saw Samus in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and thought she was super cool. Got an SNES Classic for Christmas and tried out Super Metroid...instantly hooked. One of the most amazing games in the universe you guys

The Thing - Dad was like, “Oh yeah I watched that in theaters when I was 12 it’s great let’s watch it.” I couldn’t look my own dog in the eyes for three days.

Terminator - Wanted to check out more 80′s sci-fi. Plus Michael Biehn. Love Michael Biehn.

Twilight - Me and a close friend (neither of whom had grown up reading these) decided to watch the first one as a joke. Got invested. Ended up watching them all. Now I write Mega Man/Twilight fanfiction. Beware what you do ironically, folks.

Homestuck - Was vaguely aware of it for years but (like most people) had no clue what it was about until the Sarah Z video. Decided to give it a try.

It checks almost every single box on this spreadsheet, so...there’s my defense for that, I guess.

The Locked Tomb - Everybody kept posting weird things about this book series and it sounded too crazy NOT to read

Subnautica - I love the ocean. I love space. I love aliens. I couldn’t get a copy of Pokémon Violet at Wal-Mart and wanted something new to play and it happened to be on the shelf.

My favourite entry lines/extracts from The Alan Rickman’s diaries so far. This is just the first year:

1993

June 26th

A world I know little about, sitting amongst fanatical applauding Tories. Jonas made a speech about the Arts and NHS. I wanted to cheer. The audience went a bit quiet. The quiet of dissent.

July 29th

Jurassic Park - what the hell is the plot? Great dinosaurs.

August 22nd

Walking out the Caprice to find a cab, cat and mouse with a photographer who clearly wants a ‘pissed off’ picture. He certainly has a ‘pissed off’ back of my head.

September 5th

6.10 Fly to Vienna. One of those flights. Baby crying = tense mother. Drunk English businessman = resentful stewardess etc., etc.

September 12th

‘Alan is undirectable’ - Howard Davies.

October 7th

The sound stage next to us is shooting The Neverending Story - how ironic.

October 11th

Sometimes the emotional commitment to a piece of work keeps itself invisible, often for a long time, until it is threatened - and then complete immobility happens - a kind of nervous exhaustion descends.

October 25th

Why was I dreaming about having got myself a Saturday job at Woolworth’s??

November 18th

Bailey is truely endearing even when the film breaks down. I would like to work with him. He’s bonkers.

December 9th

8 St James’s Palace in a tie. Rehearse in the taxi. A run-through - sort of. Do it. With panache. Prince of Wales is a good guy, I think. An awful lot of ‘ushering’ went on and I was steered in to meet HRH. Loathsome.

Savoy Grill with Emma. A very easy, enjoyable meal with an easy enjoyable person. She says ‘fuck’ a lot. Much laughter.

I also enjoyed random references to other actor/actresses that would be part of the HP cast one day.

Day 1 Of 12 - 🎵Quetzalcoatlus in an Aviary🎵

Doing a 12 Days of Christmas Park in Jurassic Wold Evolution 2, each day getting its own exhibit, a corny lame attempt at a musical line and a Prehistoric festive friend.(I know the 12 days is technically the 12 days after the 25th but I don't care)

🎵On the First day of Christmas Ingen gave to we, a Quetzalcoatlus in an Aviary! 🎵

Their name is Patraisc, and use the Mangrove/Chalcorna Cosmetic, and are a very pretty lizard, even if they would probably eat Rudolph.

[wanderfan2000]

A video mashup I made back in May 2022 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Also, I threw in the Japanese title theme from Pokémon The Movie 2000 into the mix too. 

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Hi Yoruko!

Hello there, it's nice to meet all of you.

———————————————————————-

Yeah, this is my therapist I've been seeing pretty recently, Dr. Kabuya which she's been quite helpful.

So what's going on? You say you wanted to change the schedule instead of the 27th, did something come up?

———————————————————————-

Well I'm sure you heard from Inspector Chiebukuro but she's going to be the newest members for the next generation of hope - meaning that will be having a meeting regarding the new additions but also to discuss a few matters.

I'm sure you know about the Pig Boy situation and how a lot of restaurants and businesses are starting to get effected by all this, right?

———————————————————————-

Oh... yeah, I heard about it. Seems the Kisaragi Foundation got affected by this too so I don't mind a schedule change.

———————————————————————-

Thank you, I was asking if you want to have it set on either the 24th or 29th; Mostly I'll be leaving for the 25th and return on the 28th.

———————————————————————-

Hm okay, thank you then I guess I'll be okay with the 24th then.

———————————————————————-

Okay then, I'll set you on the 24th then; I'll be seeing you in a few days but thank you for being understanding.

*sigh* Sorry just that with this recent revelation regarding the restaurant; a meeting was call early by Mr. Kasai and I had to do a lot of rescheduling with patients so I hope you don't mind.

———————————————————————-

I don't really but I hope your getting some rest now...

———————————————————————-

I'll... try but right we should focus on you.

Anyway, sorry for disrupting your evening Teruya, I hope that you enjoy your week off then; see you on the 24th.

———————————————————————-

I'll be sure to do that, Dr. Kabuya - thank you for the call; see you in a few days.

*CLICK*

Well... at least it wasn't so bad, thankfully - now to see what movie to watch...

Oh hey, Jurassic Park! Perfect, I'll watch this one!

*Tadeo walks out of the kitchen as he goes to sit down on the couch* mmgh...

Hey Tadeo, I think will be watching some Jurassic Park, I figure this be a good movie to watch.

*BEEP! *BEEP!*

Oh crap, I nearly forgot the popcorn, hold on!

*rushes out and heads to the kitchen as he gets himself a bowl and pours in the popcorn which then he comes back with a bowl and a glass of soda*

Heh, there we go! Now time to watch the movie, finally!

*puts the DVD into the DVD player which then he sits down and grabs the remote*

🦕 Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Jurassic Park / Jurassic World film series! 🦖 I know there's still few months until the official release date of the first film but that didn't stop Disney/20th Century Studios with Titanic 25th Anniversary theatrical re-release and it does not certainly stop me. Jurassic Park is the most important film to me in the world with The Lord of the Rings trilogy and even though many of you might hate the sequels, I don't actually. I recognize the problems in them but I also see lot of good in them. #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #30thanniversary #bluray #4k #thelostworld #movie #film #cinema #elokuva #leffa #dinosaur #universalpictures #stevenspielberg #colintrevorrow #jabayona #joejohnston #samneil #lauradern #jeffgoldblum #chrispratt #brycedallashoward #bluraycollection #moviecollection #bluraycollector #blurayaddict #tyrannosaurusrex #trex #johnwilliams https://www.instagram.com/p/ComfoBMND-i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Describe your favorite pair of socks

What do you use to keep your place when you’re reading a book?

Do you collect anything? If so, what?

Do you prefer to write in pen or pencil?

What’s one historical event that you would have liked to have witnessed?

My favorite pair of socks are mustard yellow, quarter-crew, and they have a bright blue triceratops on the sides. They're adorable and i love them sm

If it is a book that I actually own, I just dog ear it lol library or borrowed from a friend i use a bookmark tho

I collect Jurassic Park memorabilia! I've got a first edition of the book and the 25th-anniversary special release that I am quite fond of.

I prefer to write in pen.

i don't think there's necessarily a particular event i would like to witness, but i think it would be fun to live in regency times for like a day lol

Thank you for sending some in friend!
