I first got into podcasts in 2012 with Welcome to Nightvale. While I didn’t finish the series, it was a great entrance to the world of audio fiction. I found myself drawn to shows like Limetown, Within the Wires, Archive 81, and Hello From the Magic Tavern — some of which have been turned into TV shows!
My list isn’t long, but I wanted to log them so I could observe the change over the next year. I’ve finally fixed my Bluetooth headphones so I can also add audiobooks to this list next time.
Here’s my 2024 in podcasts:
What I’m listening to…
I start every morning with Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day. It’s especially fun when I recognize the current event example they cite. For example, September 2nd’s word of the day was incandescent and the author they quoted was Alexander Chee, a person I have been following online for years.
I haven’t listened consecutively, but I pick and choose a few artists I know on Song Exploder. My favorite episode so far was FKA Twigs, a very emotional journey behind the song “Mirrored Heart.”
Never Post is about the internet. Despite my deletion of Twitter, I still am interested in the wild world of the online creative class, I am part of it! Never Post is made by a group of notable internet personalities, one of which is Mike Rugnetta a friend and collaborator.
What I recorded this year…
Fun City is an ongoing narrative play podcast based on the world of Shadowrun, a tabletop role-playing game. We’ve created many of our homebrew rules, making it easier to tell the story of a group of New York criminals in the year 2021. We recorded episodes 47 through 54.
Why We Roll is a game design podcast and occasionally, I will join as a playtester. On this episode, I joined Anthony Grasso, the creator of Blister Critters to play a session live and improvised.
I got back together with the cast of REPLAY to record Replay Rewind, a post-adventure chat show for Dead Ghost Productions.
At the Winter Fancy Food Show, I sat down with BevNet and Nosh.com to chat about trends for CPG week.
I’m excited to record more and announce a new podcast project in 2025. Stay tuned!
