Rounding out the evening with a seriously nostalgic, insightful panel from #Wolf359, and an exceptional performance from @woodenovercoats.bsky.social at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social… What an #AudiodramaSunday!

Happy 10 years to both the shows, with many, many relistens still to come! 🎉

Wandering around near Kings Cross/Coal Drops for the London Podcast Festival, trying to secretly suss out the audiodrama fans… lesson I’m learning is we all need more merch 👏

WYRD SIDE S2 UPDATE
We currently have 7 episodes written and a few more to come! We’re patching plot holes, removing some rather long winded research deep dives, exploring some fascinating folklore, and generally giving Kitty and Aiden a hard time. All in the name of a good story! 🎉

Absolute pleasure to announce that we’ve just passed the 100 review mark on Spotify… Thank you so much! Reviews really help us work out what people like about the show (so we can do more of that stuff!), improve our outreach to new listeners and they also makes us feel warm and fuzzy ❤️ thanks!

Actually having a little time over the bank holiday weekend has lead down the deeply humbling road of trying to remaster and remix the first few episodes of @thewyrdside.bsky.social and gosh, have we learned a thing or two since we put those out!

Somehow, while we’ve been busy writing season 2, downloads have been ticking over and we are less than 100 away from 50 000?!? You amazing listeners! ❤️

That moment when you see a local legend and folktale, take a deep dive into it, visit the location, and it all weaves into a character's story so perfectly.

Trying the best we can to get on with season two of the wyrd side as Alex and I are obsessed with the journey these characters are going on (read: trauma), both in this season and our plans for later ones. Roll on a fateful encounter in the woods and a character we can't wait for you to meet!

If there is any podcast out there deserving of your support - it’s Hi Nay - a brilliant queer indie horror podcast with a Filipina protagonist, superb writing and lore-building. Please go check out the show and the fundraiser, and if you are able, support the show!

The Hi Nay Podcast @hinaypod.bsky.social · Dec 10

We're still at 34%! We can't continue Hi Nay in 2025 if we don't hit our $4000 goal, since we never hit our 2023 goal.

DONATE AND SPREAD THE WORD TO #HORRORPODCAST fans!

Here's art from the 2023 fundraiser by the wonderful @eleidoscope.bsky.social with Kakampink Mari 🌺🧋

An image of the fundraiser goal bar on Ko-Fi. It reads "Hi Nay Mini Fundraiser" and has a share button. The gray bar, partly green, reads 34% of $4000 goal.

Below that, text reads: Fundraising for the continued production of Hi Nay Act 3! We never hit our original goal so this is one way we can keep going after our hiatus!

A pink tinged painting of Mari Datuin, protagonist of Hi Nay. She's a fat brown Filipina woman with dark brown hair, beauty marks on her face, and a serene expression, looking at the viewer. She has a golden circle behind her like the sun, and she's wearing a pink traditional woven blazer over a black shirt. In her hand she holds a bubble tea, and there are pink flowers blowing in the wind towards her right.

On a blue and black gradient background, it reads:

In gold text: Hi Nay, literally translated to “Hi Mom”,

is a supernatural horror audio drama about Filipina immigrant Mari Datuin, whose babaylan family background accidentally gets her involved in stopping dangerous supernatural events in Toronto —

alongside two supernatural detectives, her 6’2 strong-armed lesbian neighbor, and a celebrity conman guru with real magic powers.

In white text: Season 1 of Hi Nay follows their mission to stop the Elders, a group of early 1900s rich immortal occultists, from terrorizing innocent people with cursed objects called Foci — especially their mysterious leader, The Benefactor, who is so powerful that nobody is able to remember his face or name.

A list of the fundraiser's goals:

On the left: A square graphic with Hi Nay art in the background. The text in front in gold and white reads:

$1k - Pandanggo
Mari dances the candle dance with her crush in grade school, and meets ghosts at the theatre and convenience store.

$2K - Coppelia
A diary entry from the Puppetmaster, Drosselmeyer, chronicling their observations about Lori's power getting stronger in the winter.

$3k - Snow Village
Years ago, a drunk Donner & Murphy accidentally destroyed a snow village in a heated argument. Secrets are revealed and forgotten.

$4k - HI NAY
resumes in 2025

On the right:

$5K - BONUS EP, DANNY & CORNELIUS

Danny Boyd meets Cornelius on the streets of Toronto, and invites him to walk the Distillery District's Winter Market with him.

When Danny gives him a Christmas gift, Cornelius returns the kindness.

Later, Mari finds herself in Danny's cafe, and finally meets the man that made an elder FEEL again.

Anyone can make a great fiction podcast. All you need is a Blue Yeti, some friends who are willing to speak nonsense into the record, some free editing software, a willingness to enter into a Faustian bargain with the dark presence in the lands beyond the shadows, and the gumption to make min 6 eps.
