I spent a chunk of yesterday making a bunch of these trope memes for atypical's shows and when I tell you I BLANKED on how to describe a show I spent the better part of my twenties writing...

I'm really curious, TBS listeners, what tropes/identifiers/hooks would you use to get someone to listen to the show?

[thebrightsessions]

"Genuinely, Damien is such an interesting character!! I literally find myself wanting to know more about him every time he appears" "I think my favorite moment is too spoilery to say, but my main hook was when the requited love started up 💚 prior media consumption had taught me that it wouldn't happen even though I wanted it to... But then it DID" "I really enjoyed the progression of the stakes, it felt really natural and grounded within its world" "Therapy + superpowers. It showed me how nice therapy can be (which helped me get help myself)." "This was the first media I consumed with great bi representation and I felt so held. Also every romance is fire af" "Genuinely just finished re-listening to the original storyline, now I'm onto the bonus episodes again. The whole concept is fascinating, but I love the development of the characters' relationships with each other. Especially with Dr. Bright"

We asked our instagram followers what their favorite story elements were in our show and these were a few of our favorite answers!!

What's your favorite part of The Bright Sessions?

More people need to listen to the bright sessions. So im making propoganda now

The Bright Sessions is a podcast about supernatural therapy!! Its a REALLY good podcast with AMAZINGLY written characters and a great story.

It has a bunch of queer rep!!! Just. There!!

Like Gravity Falls? This, too, has wierd little teenagers, mysteries, secret motives and at some point toxic yaoi!

Like TMA? Well, pull out your red string, and get ready to cry because these characters make me ill!

Hi I just made this new account to review podcasts.

I listen to them when I’m at work so I go through a lot of content. I like fiction podcasts mostly horror, comedy, or sci-fi. I like educational podcasts but I don’t like true crime or dnd.

I only recently became interested in writing and media analysis, someday I want to get into voice acting but I’m not sure where to start.

My top fav currently active (as of 6/8/24) podcasts right now are Midnight burger, silt verses, magnus protocols, and philosophize this. I’m going to make a tier list of every podcast I’ve listened to. Follow me if you want to hear me yap about podcasts.

[murderandcoffee]

hey podcast people. anyone know any good horror/fiction podcast discord servers? or. if not. would anyone be into making one.

[houstondoyoucopy]

audiodramas gotta stop using that one numbering convention for their episodes because every time i go to check out a new one and see “Ep 204” or something as their latest episode i get a mini heart attack

[trinitea-fics]

Shout out to Life with LEO(h) for combating the issues that many indie audio dramas have had with "aracial" characters. Shout out to Octavia Bray for showing that YES, a character's race is an integral part to their character even if the story doesn't focus on racism or race-related issues.

I fully believe that Damien started calling Dr. Bright "Dr. B" because he forgot what her last name was
