Dodging COVID So I Can Listen To More Audio Fiction — Issue #98 from The End (Audio Fiction Directory)
Featuring DELIVERY & ZOINKS!, + 1 complete series, 7 finished seasons, and season restarts!
Dr. Wife has returned from her travels abroad, but she brought an unwelcome souvenir: COVID. Until that time, we’d both been members of the no-COVID club. She can no longer say that. But weirdly enough, I can! Three negative tests for me, even living with a virus-shedder. I chalk my successful dodging to having six different mRNA vaccines so far. Stay safe out there, my friends!
Have I mentioned how much I love all of you who are supporting our efforts here at The End? To date, that’s 38 of you, including my latest supporters, Ger and Martin, the creators of I think I’ve met you but also know I haven’t; and also Chris Côté! Much appreciation, fellas.
Want me to say nice things about you and do your part to help keep the fires burning at The End? Visit our support page and help us out. It’s hecka cheap on purpose!
Let’s get into it, shall we?

Featured Recommendations
I’ve listened to every episode of these shows, and proudly recommend them to you. As with all things in life, YMMV.
Delivery • 🫥🦠🚛 Dramatized scifi noir horror series from M.T. Goins & Celebrity Tumour. It made Goodpods Top 10! This is my kinda weird. There’s so much going on — much of which seems nonsensical at first blush — that it’s hard to follow linearly. But… that’s kind of the point, I think. If you dig weird stuff, try it. Final episode of Season 1 posted on 25 Dec 2021. Listen to the 13 current episodes in 3h 54m. Next season: Slated for Jan 2025.
Zoinks! • 🔎 🐶 💊 dramatized comedy mystery from Queen City Flash. This one is just goofy fun, with a cast also having a lot of fun. Listen with fun in your heart and you’ll probably enjoy it! Final episode of Season 1 posted on 21 Jul 2023. Listen to the 8 current episodes in 2h 37m. Next season: Unknown.
