Issue #66: I Got You the Gift of Completed Audio Fiction for Christmas
Featuring LAST KNOWN POSITION & SCROOGE: A CHRISTMAS CAROL + 3 season finales and 7 new seasons coming soon!
Yesterday, the 66th issue of The End, the weekly newsletter that shines a light back on audio fiction shows after they’ve reached the finale of a season or the conclusion of the series, was sent to 1,944 inboxes around the world. If your inbox wasn’t one of them, here’s what you missed:
Featured Shows
These are my personal recommendations for great audio fiction. As with all things in life, YMMV.
🎄🎭✨ • SCROOGE: A Christmas Carol — Dramatized classic holiday story from Mark Ramsey Media & Hope Media Group. Notes from creator: All-star cast featuring Sean Astin as Ebenezer Scrooge and John Rhys Davies as the narrator. Evo’s take: An all-star cast and exceptionally well-crafted sound design make for an amazing story. It seems quite true to the source material, if memory serves. ’Tis the season, after all. (Complete with 1 season, 4 episodes for a listening time of 2h 00m.)
🌊🛥️🦑 • Last Known Position — Dramatized horror thriller from QCODE Media. Notes from creator: Starring Gina Rodriguez and James Purefoy. Evo’s take: I’ve been on a “monsters from the deep” kick recently, and SPOILER! — This one is top-notch. The storyline is great, and the acting and sound design really bring the script to life. Not that I want giant monsters from the deep to come alive, but you take my meaning. (Complete with 1 season, 8 episodes for a listening time of 4h 47m.)
