TRIFLERS NEED NOT APPLY.
In alphabetical order:
- Archive 81 – the first season follows an archivist starting a new job cataloguing recordings made by a historical society; unraveling ensues. THEN season two LEVELS THE HELL UP and goes like… futuristic horrific fairyland? idek. its GREAT.
- The Black Tapes – intrepid reporter wants to believe; curmudgeonly paranormal investigator says no, but things are WEIRD AND SPOOKY.
- The Darkest Night – narrated by Lee Pace! horror anthology that all ties together in the end. some stories better than others, imo.
- The Deep Vault – seven ep almost-post-apocalyptic drama about a group of longtime friends searching for a mysterious bunker that was an urban legend in their hometown
- Dragon Friends – DnD podcast that is filmed live in front of an audience. a little simplified, rules-wise, but moves so quickly and is so clever and fun. one of my favorites!
- Limetown – 10 years ago, a small scientific community disappear. our intrepid reporter asks “what happened to Limetown?” TERRIFYING and incredibly well-produced – as of yet, no season two, but imo even though there’s not a proper ending, its a good stopping point.
- Mabel – ladies who love ladies, fairy tales, haunted houses, disappearances, magic, horror, DELIGHT.
- Our Fair City – podcast in a future dystopia. after a climate change-related disaster, humanity lives in subterranean cities powered by lightning rigs above the cities. mole people! mad scientists! algae bars! the first “episode” is very long and a bit rough, tbh, but after that it is ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES.
- SAYER – scifi/horror podcast set on Earth’s man-made second moon, Typhon. SAYER is the self-aware AI designed to help new residents adjust to their new lives – SPOILERS. SHIT GOES REAL WRONG. Another of my favorites. Things start tying together in the third episode, and it turns into a jumbly horror ride you never want to stop listening to.
- Six Stories Told At Night – when Sam’s best friend Joëlle disappears, Sam follows her into Faerie, paying her way with stories. Specifically focused on Canadian folktales, which is p. neat.
- Within the Wires – part of the WtNV umbrella. Set up as a series of instructional tapes being given to a patient at The Institute, but it becomes clear soon enough the tapes’ narrator is speaking to the patient very specifically.
I will be getting a triflers need not apply shirt s2g! Six stories was soooo good! I’m so excited for more podcasts (but seriously, I need another season of Limetown)!
I’m always a little tempted by the MFM merch but I am 100% getting a Triflers Needs Not Apply tank.
