Favorite Shows: Derelict Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

Here's another terrific show we've binged from start to finish and highly recommend: Derelict.

Derelict is a highly immersive sci-fi podcast whose first season, Fathom, will literally leave you breathless. It follows a crew of underwater scientists and engineers who are exploring a mysterious, ancient artifact resembling a giant door, at the bottom of Earth’s ocean. To study it and find out what secrets it holds, the galaxy’s most powerful corporation has built a massive research base surrounding it, which happens to be operated by an equally powerful and vulnerable AI program.

The acting in Derelict is very convincing, especially in the direst of moments. The character interactions are tense and tender, often all at once. And the sound effects…well, you really will feel like you’ve been transported to the bottom of the ocean, and feel what the characters feel, as they venture into the unknown and struggle against unknown forces.

If you love Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Martian, you’ll hang on every moment in Derelict. The entire first season is available to binge right now, and Season 2 is underway. Our heartfelt thanks for Derelict for its support.

Favorite Shows: Mockery Manor Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

Here's another recommendation for a great show to binge that is also in the Fable & Folly network: Mockery Manor.

Mockery Manor is a feast for the ears in every sense of the word. It’s a murder mystery set in a British theme park in the 1980s that has a deliriously dark comedic edge. Everything about Mockery Manor is superb, from its realistic sound design to its fantastic musical score to its wonderfully cheesy carnival antics and sound effects. But especially, its brilliant acting. The performances are all top notch, but Hayley Evenett is particularly fantastic. She plays not one but TWO main characters who are twins, and who happen to have very different personalities.

Mockery Manor was nominated for Best Fiction at the British Podcast Awards in 2020. There are two full seasons to binge, and the third season is underway. You’ll love every episode.

You can find Mockery Manor wherever you get your podcasts, of course. But you can hear the very first episode right here, right now. Presenting Season 1 Episode 1: “Where Childhood Never Dies.”

Favorite Shows: The Road of Shadows Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Here's another recommendation for a great show to binge that is also in the Fable & Folly network called The Road of Shadows.

The Road of Shadows is a mystery and suspense drama set in a small mountain town way back in 1984. It follows Daniel Knox, a loner on a motorcycle who has spent his entire life on the run as he tries to evade mysterious, human-devouring creatures that he calls shadows. The shadows disguise themselves as people, but for reasons tied to Daniel's past, only he is able to see and sense their true nature. But even though Daniel wants to stay on the move, he gets caught up in the quest of another traveler who happens to be in the same town, investigating the mysterious disappearance of her sister.

The '80s are all over this fantastic production, from the pulsing synth music to the edgy eighties-noir narration, even to the small-town bully. The show feels a bit like a cross between a grown-up version of The Karate Kid, minus the karate, and The Lost Boys.

The Road of Shadows is produced in Australia by the same team that makes The Strata. Both shows regularly appear in the top 10 charts for science fiction on Apple Podcasts. Here is episode 1, titled Misty Pines, for your enjoyment.

Content warning: A bit more language than you might be used to with Dirt. But hey, it's the '80s!
