sea's fiction podcast recs!

If you're new to the fiction podcast genre or looking for a new show to try, here's a list I compiled over years of listening to audio dramas and similar podcasts :)

For those who don't know, fiction podcasts are scripted audio-only stories that play kind of like a TV show in your head. The podcast medium is a lot more accessible to otherwise marginalized creators, so you can generally expect more diversity in the stories being told than you'd see from Hollywood. I love podcasts because they are perfect to keep your mind occupied while doing more mundane tasks like chores, video games, or drawing.

The is organized from most to least recommended, and there are asterisks next to shows with heavy LGBTQ representation, though virtually every show on the list has at least one or two minor queer characters. All of the descriptions and genre tags are written by me, and I try to keep things as brief as possible so that you can look through them quickly and find a match! Everything is available to find on Spotify unless otherwise linked.

Top 5 audio fiction:

Wolf 359, Penumbra Podcast: Juno Steel, The Bright Sessions, Archive 81, The Magnus Archives

Full list under the cut

Gattinera AU, Prime Queen Hypothetical

Nadja: Is there anyone you are interested in, Gattinera, Ladybug?

Ladybug: Our main motive is to take down Hawkmoth, our love lives have nothing to do with that

Gattinera: Yeah, after defeating Hawkmoth, I will be cryonically frozen in a chamber and unfreeze when Ladybug needs me again

(One of Gattinera's fake origin stories was a copy of the Winter Soldier)

Ladybug: Of course you’d have to lose an arm first for that.

Gattinera: Is that a challenge?

(The entire interview gets derailed by dumbass shenanigans.)
