We’ve another suggestion for a great tale for this week, and it’s once again a favorite of our curator, @evoterra:

🕰️📞🌟 • The Dial-Up, a dramatized sci-fi comedy series from Philip Catherwood

This one is short and sweet, but it’s a fun premise that's nearly perfect for a fiction podcast.

Lewis is just your everyday internet, support technician… who can also speak to people in the past, and the future! After making a friend, calling from 1999, Lewis now encounters Dana, a physicist living in the year 2052. How has she managed to make contact? And does she know anything about the mysterious wormhole, that appeared suddenly in Lewis’s basement?

• Season 2 finale released Sep 14, 2023
• 9 current episodes
• Listening time: 1h 43m
• Next season status: Slated for Sep 2024

Word of mouth goes a long way in podcasting, and that’s what is all about! If you need something new in your ears this week, here’s a personal recommendation from our curator, @evoterra:

🌊👫🌟 • Lake Song, a dramatized scifi series from Make-Believe Association

Not all post-apocalyptic or dystopian stories need to be terrible, nearly hopeless tales of barely eeked-out survival. This is one of those stories, told through the voices of a talented cast and sound designers.

OFFICIAL SELECTION -- Tribeca Festival Audio Premieres.

It’s 2098 and the Republic of Chicago has what the world needs: fresh water. But with new opportunities come new threats, especially for a pair of siblings on the South Side. Can the people come together to save their city—and each other?

Combining sci-fi and music, politics and poetry, Lake Song is a collective response to our times, and a shared dream of our future.

• Series complete as of Dec 21, 2022
• 1 season,
• 12 episodes
• Listening time: 5h 04m

Don't you wish "if you like this, then check out this" recommendations actually... worked?

Us, too. Algorithms and other programmatic ways leave a lot to be desired.

So, what if we left that decision up to the creator/showrunner of the fiction podcast you were currently listening to? What if we let them figure out what other shows they think their listeners might like? Is there value in that?

Might as well try it out in real-time. Check out theend.fyi/shows/regina-prime- for how we've implemented that.

What do you think? Is this helpful?

New features unlocked on the website!

You know what listening apps are preferred by listeners? The answer—ALL OF THEM!

We've been a bit stingy in the listening apps we link to on our show details pages and our newsletter pages. No more! Now we have more than a dozen different listening apps included in our one-touch-to-listen links, hopefully lowering the friction from "hey, that seems good" to “hey, that sounds great!”

While we were at it, we re-tooled the layout a little bit. (Which means Evo figured a work around for the CSS problem he had.)

Take a look and let us know what you think! (Or if you find any screwups!)

We’ve another suggestion for a great tale for this week, and it’s once again a favorite of our curator, @evoterra:

🚀💥🤪 • The Madness of Chartrulean, a dramatized scifi fantasy from Packhowl Media. @Chartrulean
@packhowl

Chartrulean was supposed to be the messiah the people wanted, but abandoned a life of piety to become what he believed the world needed: a shipbuilder. He may have helped end a war, but now mysterious cosmic forces have infected his warships and drive him to madness. And the timing couldn’t be worse. A delicate game of politics is afoot, and he is torn between those he’s grown to trust and the gods he’s angered. Chartrulean must reconcile with both before succumbing to the madness he created.

“Will this world accept my vision of the future? Or was all of this a mistake?”

• Season 1 finale released December 15, 2022
• 14 episodes
• Listening time: 7h 52m
• Next season status: Slated for Mar 2024
• 🚀💥🤪

Evo's take: Listen to this for the sound design alone, as it's outstanding. But it's also deep, brooding, and that fun blend of scifi mixed with fantasy that works very well.

Word of mouth goes a long way in podcasting, and that’s what is all about! If you need something new in your ears this week, here’s a personal recommendation from our curator, @evoterra:

📞🕵️‍♂️😍 • Feedback: A Comedy of Impeccable Customer Service, a dramatized romcom from Cue6 Theatre.

Aspiring drag queen and Ring Wireless representative Akbar Shahzad (Qasim Khan) has a problem with his ex-boyfriend. Anxious mother Valerie LeVac (Rosemary Dunsmore) has a problem with her phone bill. Over a series of calls their lives will be changed by the brief but meaningful relationship that develops between them.

Part mystery, part romantic comedy, Kevin Shea’s FEEDBACK uniquely blends audiobook and audio drama to tell this strange, surprising, and darkly hilarious story.

Note from creator: Produced by Dora Award-winning independent company Cue6 Theatre.

• Series complete as of October 29, 2023
• 1 season,
• 9 episodes
• Listening time: 3h 02m
• 📞🕵️‍♂️😍

Evo's take: This show blew me away. Which, for a slice-of-life show presented as a comedy, is saying something. I hesitate to call anything "perfect", but this one might warrant the moniker. Exceptionally well acted. Outstanding production. Add this to your queue.

Do you expose your 's RSS feed? You should, now that YouTube Music allows anyone to listen to any podcast via the RSS feed.

Many creators simply link to Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify on their site page and call it good. But it's not good. It's limiting your reach.

Yes, eventually, many of the podcast apps will pick up your listing from those listings or some other way. But not all. Like.. not YouTube Music, Google's latest effort to embrace podcasting.

As announced in @Podnews's latest newsletter, YouTube Music is allowing Android and Web users to subscribe to any podcast with the RSS feed of the podcast. It's assumed that this will soon be added to the iOS version.

If you don't expose your RSS URL on your show's website, it’s going to be hard for people to find it. So... don't leave that out. Get you RSS feed right there front and center.

We’ve another suggestion for a great tale for this week, and it’s once again a favorite of our curator, @evoterra:

🕵️‍♀️🔌🚢 • Murder in HR, a dramatized comedy-mystery from Caspian Studios.

It’s Jemma’s (Kate Mara) first day as Employee Experience Manager at Peace of Ship, an AI-powered tech startup. When her colleague Larry is electrocuted during the company All-Hands, she uncovers a terrible secret. It was murder! Now, she and her Chief People Officer, Nicholas (Brett Gelman), are tasked with finding the killer. She must use her HR skills to investigate her toxic colleagues – without becoming the next victim.

Presented by Gympass. Starring Kate Mara and Brett Gelman. A Caspian Studios Production.

• Season 1 finale released October 31, 2023
• 12 episodes
• Listening time: 3h 54m
• Next season status: Slated for Aug 2024
• 🕵️‍♀️🔌🚢

Evo's take: This show is quite absurd (and I love absurd things) with great sound and a fun storyline. Interestingly enough, it also features a giant and for-real product placement throughout. But really, that's not an issue. Just settle in and enjoy not have to FFW through ad breaks!

🏃‍♂️🚀👹 • Deviser, a dramatized horror from Harlan Guthrie (Complete, 1 season, 7 episodes | 2h 42m - This short, gripping story was one of the best I've heard all year. I'm a huge fan of being thrown into the story without any exposition, and this tale does that splendidly.)

Chukwudi Iwuji is the villain in Guardians of the Galaxy 4, and Laila Robins has been in many films and TV including most recently 'The Walking Dead'.

This has been an extra rough week for a lot of people and that's saying something.

If listening to an audiobook would give you a little distraction and help you get through, pick out one of my titles, let me know if you need a US or UK Audible code, and I will give you a free copy, no questions asked.

We Fix Space Junk - Dramatized from Battle Bird Productions

We Fix Space Junk follows seasoned smuggler Kilner and reluctant fugitive Samantha as they travel the galaxy, dodging bullets and meeting strange and wonderful beings as they carry out odd jobs on the fringes of the law.

A female-led sci-fi comedy sitcom set in the far future, in a high-tech, dystopian world, We Fix Space Junk draws on the sci-fi of the past, following in the footsteps of Harry Harrison and of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Equal parts love-letter to sci-fi and satire of the present-day, Space Junk is lovingly produced by Beth Crane @Bethkcrane and Hedley Knights of Battle Bird Productions.

Note from creator: Female-led!

Evo's notes:
I didn't think this show was for me, but then I listened and proved myself wrong. It's funny and thoughtful at the same time. A nice and cozy listen, I think!
