Audiodrama Sunday 04/28/24

So much stuff this week! I think this is going to be my longest writeup yet!

@camlannpod what the fuck? Trying to avoid spoilers, but the ending of that episode was wild. The sound design for the last scene was so good. Also “You're good with an axe, right?” was brutal, I audibly said "oof". Only 1 more episode in the season, hopefully they get funding for a second one.

The first episode of @wanderersjournalpod came out this week. This was a promising start to a new show, I'm excited to see where it goes from here. The setting feels very mystical, I can't wait to learn more about the world.

@worldsbeyondpod was so tense. Suvi and Ame had the most awkward conversation in existence. This story has so much nuance, neither of them are clearly in the right, though I feel inclined to take Ame's side due to the "Geas + Alter Memory" double espionage scheme. Meanwhile Ursulon discovers that Orima of the Reaching Green is a short queen and gets a cool horse.

I'm now up to date with @lostterminal. Season 15 was great. I love Nia, and Daphne and Raffi were really interesting new characters. Also, the dragon was terrifying. This show doesn't usually have very much action, so the confrontation with it really stood out. The description of the automatic turret going "click, click" as it locked on to Maddie was so intimidating.

@worldgonewrongpod I loved this episode. The storytelling felt so natural and real, like someone telling me a story about a weird road trip they went on. I think I said this about the last episode too, but this was my favorite episode yet. It also sets up the backstory which was never really explained as to why Jamie and Malik are separated at all.

In @midstpodcast we finally had a nicer episode. No horrible fucked up Weep/Trust stuff happening, just Lark reunited with Zeila and Sherman. However, there's so much tension between these characters. I was surprised that Lark forgave Sherman for selling her out. Something to remember is that Lark and Sherman had been hooking up before everything went to shit, which was mentioned once and I think really changes their relationship.

New @keepitsteadypod! This is the first new episode of this show since I started doing these. This was a really cute episode. For how popular fake dating is as a trope in fandom spaces, you don't see a lot of it in audiodramas.

Fun episode of Mission Rejected this week. It was cool to see Bowden go from "vain actor" to "badass spy" when the stakes ramped up. We don't get to see him take charge very often, it was neat for him to be a competent leader. I wonder if the gang lying to Zelda(who definitely saw through it) and Chet(who probably didn't) is foreshadowing for more of a conflict with the new Secretary of Defense later in the season. Also I loved the squabbling gay couple running an illegal mining operation as the villains of the week.

@breakerwhiskey episode 200 wow. A letter from Harry! We learned that Harry has been listening to most of Whiskey's broadcasts, which recontextualizes a lot of the previous episodes. Also, the end was heartbreaking.

I started season 2 of @longcatmedia's Mockery Manor! I'm 2 episodes in and really like it so far. JJ and Bettie are employed in different parks, JJ is on the run from an organized crime ring, and Bettie became a monk? Also, it's clear that neither Hilda nor Jenkins stole the shipment, neither of them have motive. But I don't know who else would have motive either. Lots of mysteries this season.

Spout Lore had a great planning episode. I'm excited for the "saving Highspear" arc, the Highspear is so cool as a concept. A reverse Tower of Babel, that lets the whole world talk with each other. A literal monument to wizard hubris, which feels destined to fall. However I doubt it will, because, as the players mentioned, it would be really annoying from a storytelling perspective if everyone suddenly spoke different languages. This has actually made me realize I really want a story set shortly after some sort of "fall of the Tower of Babel", where communication is a struggle, but that's just because I think linguistics is cool. Anyways, the buffet talk had me rolling.

What a great week! However, it did not help my queue, which continues to grow instead of get smaller. I'll reach the end of it one day.

There is some podcast conspiracy this week to release as many episodes as possible. Camlann with regular episode and a special, Victoriocity with first two episodes of s3, Hello From The Hallowoods with first episode of s4, The Amelia Project x Midnight Burger crossover, The Magnus Protocol, Mission Rejected, Inexplicables, Welcome To Night Vale, Travelling Light…

I am not complaining but I am drowning in episodes

why is it so hard to find good spy genre media that doesn’t have all the big problems in the spy genre (misogyny, racism etc)

like all I can think of is the podcast Mission Rejected and the I Expect You to Die games

I think if Skip Granger of Mission Rejected and Hampton Fawx of Fawx and Stallion were in the same room, world peace would happen or the world would explode. There is no in between.

Now that I’ve had some time to sleep on the new Mission Rejected episode, (spoilers if you haven’t listened yet!) I love how during that conversation at the end McGrath was the only one who stuck around to listen to Skip. And it was only once it was just the two of them that he really let his guard down and showed how tired he was. Their friendship is actually so important to me they’re platonic soulmates and I love them

My personal theory on the season 4 finale

This focuses primarily on Skip's outburst monologue, with the idea that skip was talking in code the whole time, with only McGrath seemingly catching on.

The way skip begins the conversation feels very similar to the conversation he had with McGrath and Athena that was done in code, both having variations of Skip talking about 'really listening', with him having a large amount of emphasis in the scene.

During the ran Skip says 'Do I even know semaphore McGrath?' I think this is his way of trying to 100% confirm the code or continue the code on because semaphore is a method of silent communication with flags, and I honestly believe that Skip would know semaphore

In the scene, they were all being listened in on by Terry Millionaire, and everyone knew that, if Skip did have something he needed to communicate to the team, he would need to do it covertly, through some sort of code.

Given that Skip resigns at the end of the monologue, McGrath seems incredible calm about it, especially considering her reaction to Skip attempting to leave the EMF on the American Spydol mission. I don't think she'd do that if she didn't know what was going on. Plus, despite his resignation and things he said during his outburst, she still said 'I'll see you around', meaning she doesn't think this is the end for them, and doesn't even sound remotely concerned

Finally, despite the things Skip says mirroring his feeling from throughout this season, and I can imagine that he is absolutely hurt by everything that happened with Gloria and the promotion, I don't think Skip would be so aggressive just because she kept it a secret. Yes it would hurt him, but going to the extent of not calling them friends, only coworkers, after all the time together, it just didn't feel right. At this point he still admitted that he thought he could help Athena become good despite already knowing about the lies from everyone at that point. He may not be completely ok with what's happening, but Skip understands how compromised they are, and realises the only way to deal with this is from the inside.

I don't know though haha, this is just a theory, and may just be me trying to hang on to the dynamics and relationships skip has created, but I feel the theory has some backing to it.
