Here's my #SpotifyUnwrapped for 2025. I promise to start saying nice things about Spotify as soon as they start doing nice things instead of horrible things.

It appears that it's going to be a slow news week for creator resources in the #audiodrama and #fictionpodcast sphere. Do you have a terrific strategy, tip, trick, or behind-the-scenes item to which I can link? Send it to me, gorgeous!

Well, I missed my flight back to New York, so I’ve got about four hours to kill.

Anyone got anything they’d like to know about the new show?

If you use Spotify for your podcast listening, may I recommend Pocket Casts instead? It has an excellent desktop player that will sync to your phone, just like Spotify!

An update on what’s going on! Very frustrated about this happening right at the tail end of our campaign. A reason we picked indiegogo was because of their flexible funding. Here’s a link to our campaign, we still need your help! www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

Two.

On a gray background, a lovely splash of blood is overlaid with cheerful little skulls in blue, yellow, and black. The copy reads, “On the second day of Halloween, HR gave to me…two cursed memos.” The accompanying image is an ancient scroll that someone has carelessly spotted with something red and viscous.

One.

Because counting up is never sinister. Right?

On a gray background a charming splash of blood is overlaid with cheerful little skulls in blue, yellow, and black. The copy reads, “On the first day of Halloween, HR gave to me…a bird of ill omen in a tree.” The accompanying image is a manky, part-skeletal crow with a bloody red eye.

The Fiction Podcast Weekly is moving and building a new foundation. Wanna help us pour concrete? Thanks for your patience as I get caught up. In the meantime, what's the WEIRDEST podcast you've heard lately? Image courtesy of Freepik, as I couldn't sit still for a formal portrait today.
A cute tiger wearing a construction helmet, high-visibility safety vest, and glasses gives a thumbs-up gesture and smiles broadly, showing a clipboard with a list and a green check mark. In the background is a blue sky with fluffy clouds and a Freepik watermark.

Listen to Hi Nay episode 68!!!

#audiodrama #horrorpodcast
I got too busy to make an official new episode post yesterday so I'll do it later, but I think you should all listen to the new Hi Nay episode with such memorable moments as "He took too much cocaine so he decided to bring him to the beach" "Thank you for trusting me with this knife so I can do some murders" and "Old man doesn't understand modern technology but knows how to text his boyfriend"
