Issue #79: Marching Toward More Completed Audio Fiction
Featuring ELIZABETH QUICK & JUMP LEADS, +4 series completions, 6 season finales, and 4 new seasons coming soon!
I’m again making changes to the website. It’s now much more useful, which I hope encourages you to visit the site on days other than Friday afternoon.
It’s cleaner, more helpful, and is becoming an excellent resource for anytime you need your next audio fiction fix. Again, that’s my intent. Please let me know what you think of my efforts thus far. Which will, obviously, continue. Check out the newly updated Featured Recommendations, Fully Complete Series, and Recent Additions pages.
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.
🏃🏻♀️🐺🌎 • Elizabeth Quick — Dramatized post-apocalyptic one-character adventure from Daryl Lisa Fazio. 5 years ago, I’d have said, “this ain’t your typical post-apocalyptic story,” but then I remembered that tales like Sweet Tooth, The Quiet Place, The Last of Us, and just about every other contemporary post-apocalyptic tale is very much like this, where it’s less about “what happened” and more about our “how it feels to live through.” It’s less than an hour. Oh, and there’s a pegasus, maybe? Get it. Series complete as of 3 Dec 2023. Listen to all 4 episodes in 0h 53m.
🚀🤣🎭 • Jump Leads — Dramatized scifi comedy from Ben Paddon. Based on the webcomic of the same name. Great pacing and fun hijinx for kids of all ages. Give it a shot! Season 1 finale posted on 31 May 2023. Listen to the 6 current episodes in 3h 26m.
