As we work on Season 3, we want to introduce you to a great show you'll surely enjoy.

Divorce Ranch is a western comedy whodunnit...but with a fun twist.

The show has all the charm and wit of old-tyme western comedies, but its characters are people that were never featured in the old movies and plays.

Like the momma’s boy detective. The over-the-hill ranch proprietress. Or the bisexual Japanese entertainer.

Divorce Ranch is just one of many great audio shows made by our buddies at the Good Story Guild .

To celebrate the July 'Buck' Moon, we're featuring a special standalone piece we made a couple of years ago.

The Ballad Of Buck Moon was originally made for an anthology series called Tales For Howling At The Full Moon.

Drew wrote and voiced the main storyteller - but it's brought to life by Jeff Lurie's beautiful guitar and gorgeous singing as our Balladeer.

An early draft of Sorry About The Murder had already been written when we did The Ballad Of Buck Moon. But this is where we really honed that relationship between...

Yesterday in the nice little Canadian town of Beavermount, Ontario, Zamboni driver Gaëtan 'Frenchie' Arsenault solved the murder of Scott ‘Scotty’ McDonald, clearing his Québecois name. 

All in time for the night's hockey game, bench clearing brawl, and inevitable ripper down at Bushly's Tavern. 

But overnight, a cold front...

While we record Season 2 of Sorry About The Murder, I'd like to share a hilarious murder mystery I’m really enjoying these days.

Who The F**k Killed My Sister follows Quinn, an amateur detective and accidental true crime celebrity, as she finally gets a lead on her sister’s unsolved murder a year after it happened. But chasing the truth puts a target on her—and everyone around her.

We're featuring the very first episode today, but once you get hooked, the whole 8-episode first season is available right now on this very podcast app.

This episode features a fantastic show I discovered a little while ago.

The Godfrey Audio Guide is the audio tour for the fictional Annabelle H. Godfrey Historic Estate & Museum, which is one part fine art museum, one part Winchester Mystery House. Listeners on the tour discover art both real and imagined, experience an array of strange encounters, and gain insights into the life of the Estate’s enigmatic, eponymous founder. Just remember: stay out of the shadows.

For fans of: The Twilight Zone, Welcome to Night Vale, and The Midnight Gospel. Winner of the 2021 and 2022 Au...

Today we're featuring the Season 2 trailer for I Am Echo, a sci-fi thriller starring Tony Shalhoub (Monk, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel).

I like to describe I Am Echo as a YA version of Succession, with a sci-fi twist.

Season 1 is about a young woman who discovers her brilliant scientist father might have been killed by her brilliant narcissist mother…and she finds the clue through memories her father implanted in her mind.

In Season 2, more memories emerge, and her father may somehow be reaching out from beyond the grave.

Today we're featuring a show I've recommended to many a friend ever since I discovered it.

Hannahpocalypse is a hopepunk comedy horror romance featuring Hannah, a zombie living her best unlife about 150 years after the last zombie apocalypse.

It’s full of dark humour, adventure, dystopian angst, and some beautiful moments too. Give this episode a shot and I'm pretty sure Hannah will have sunken her cadaverous teeth into your juicy brain.

Oh and the show's creator Damian is about the sweetest guy there is. So even on those grounds you need to gi...

Today I would like to share a phenomenal show that I fell in love with a while ago, just as I was discovering audio drama podcasts. Actually, this one is so good I used it as a measuring stick - this was the level of a truly great show.

Dirt - an Audio Drama follows Joseph Elo, a Seattle based tech celebrity who, one day, gets a mysterious letter in the mail from his grandfather - who passed away 30 years ago. This mystery leads Joseph on a hunt through the darkest corners of Washington state - and...

Yes we're still between seasons you greedy little monkeys. So here is another show we know you will find hilarious.

Candy Claus, Private Eye is a half-hour audio comedy about Santa’s bastard daughter solving hardboiled Christmas crimes on the North Pole. Candy is a death-metal-loving, peppermint-schnapps-swilling P.I. trying to solve the North Pole’s first murder in 500 years without learning the true meaning of Christmas.

It's as funny as it sounds. And the acting and writing is razor sharp.

The show actually won Best Comedy at the LA Webfest this year.

Today's featured episode is from a show we've admired for a while now.

Fawx & Stallion is a Victorian mystery-comedy fiction podcast about Hapton Fawx and James Stallion, the best detective team on Baker Street not named Holmes & Watson.

The dialogue is as funny as the premise, and the comedy is fast paced and razor sharp.

If you like the banter of shows like AbFab, Fawlty Towers or Blackadder this show is for you.

Fawx & Stallion is on all the podcast apps including this very one.

Today's featured episode is from a show that is completely different from Sorry About The Murder. This one isn’t a quaint story about cute characters. It’s actually pretty hardcore. It’s raw, brutally honest, insanely dark at times, but also laugh out loud funny, sometimes all at once. 

It’s called Sick Man Talking. And that’s what it is. Brad Cartner is a man wracked with innumerable pains and aliments who has been trying to stay sane all these years by recording his thoughts. And now some good friends are helping him turn it into a podc...

Today we're featuring another fantastic show. This one is an all-time favourite.

Midnight Burger is a sci-fi comedy set in a perfectly ordinary diner except for the fact that it travels through time and space to avoid being devoured by the very universe it inhabits. At once hilarious, scary and beautiful, Midnight Burger is on almost every Best All-Time Podcast list, won tons of awards, and has been featured on BBC and The Guardian.

If you like Hitchiker's Guide, Doctor Who or Everything Everywhere All At Once, you will LOVE Midnight Burger.

While we're making our next season, here is another show we think you'll enjoy.

Madame Magenta: Sonos Mystica is a mystery/comedy featuring powerful but over-it psychic Madame Magenta and her ever-so patient husband Bernard. Join them on their hilarious run-ins with spirits, fae, and annoying dead exes.

If you like the smart but silly banter of British sitcoms like Blackadder or AbFab, this show is for you.

While we're between seasons, we're going to be featuring other shows we admire. Like this hilarious show Milkman Of St. Gaff's.

Milkman Of St. Gaff's is a absurdist fantasy/horror about Howie, an unassuming but deeply troubled young man who joins the milkmen on the island of St. Gaff’s, only to discover that the milkmen harbour a dark and dangerous secret. It starts out quaintly funny and slowly pulls you into this dark abyss where Lovecraft meets Kafka - and just gets funnier every episode.

The entire show is brilliantly written, recorded and produced by...
