If you liked the interviews in Radio Drama Revival, you’re likely going to enjoy the interviews of Indie AF or, as host Sarah Golding likes to call it “a groovy interview chattarama.” Indie AF is one Golding’s offering through her production company, Quirky Voices. Note that “AF” naturally means “Audio Fiction” and is absolutely not…

If you liked last week’s resource post about The Sonic Society, Radio Drama Revival is another anthology podcast that showcases the work of various indie fiction podcast creators. It ended in 2023, but there are 228 episodes to go through and the group behind it, Hug House Productions, a tremendous booster and positive force for…

We’ve shared a number of audio drama directories where you can find new shows, but let’s say you want to discover them via curation, like radio shows of yore.

We’ve written about this website and newsletter before, but in the spirit of going through a series of resources that help you discover new fiction podcasts to listen to,  we would be remiss to not note that the site has gone through a big revamp since we last mentioned it in 2023. The main angle…

Continuing posts about resources where you can find more audio fiction, another site to check out is Listin’Up (note the spelling).
