A down-to-Earth sci-fi road trip, The Book of Constellations is a story about Rael, who claims to be the sole survivor of an alien race, as told by Simon, the man who went with him. On a quest to save humanity from the same malevolent force that destroyed his own people, Rael believes this “Darkness” resides in the Governor of the state. Rael makes his way west to the Capitol armed with nothing but his uncanny perception and empathy. He gathers allies along the way from the forgotten and lost of America. Rael’s obsession won’t allow him to mourn another world, but how far is he willing to go to save us?

No Return: An Audio Drama by Kier Zhou
No Return is what happens when you give one person too much coffee, a microphone, and a world that won’t stop expanding.
It’s a fantasy series about gods, worlds, mercenaries, lost cities, and bad decisions... but mostly it’s about people trying (and failing) to make sense of the mess they’re in. The tone swings from absurd to sincere, from divine slapstick to quiet tragedy. Sometimes all in the same episode.
If Discworld got tangled up with The Wheel of Time and accidentally wandered into a Tom Sharpe novel, you’d be somewhere close.
The stories jump around the same world, exploring different but intertwined characters, stories and genres.
It’s made on a potato powered laptop, by a guy who clearly doesn’t know when to stop.
If you like things that are funny, sad, overcomplicated, and occasionally, accidentally, profound... you’ll probably like No Return.
But don’t take my word for it...
This show was nominated for Best Audio Drama at the New Zealand Web Fest and officially selected for the Cisco Web Fest, which is pretty good for someone who ran out of money to apply to any more festivals!
Here’s what listeners are saying:
“A journey through a creative mind like no other... I cannot begin to imagine how this creator keeps all his characters and plot lines straight, but it’s a marvel.”
“The quality and sound production are absolutely on point, but it’s the captivating writing and voice acting that keep you coming back.”
“Chaotic [affectionate]. Each arc has something unique - sometimes gut-wrenchingly funny, sometimes grounded — it keeps you on your toes.”
Extra lore, behind-the-scenes chaos, and stray thoughts at:

As an A&E nurse, Alfie deals with horror everyday, but almost being killed by a walking corpse and being saved by a vampire takes things a bit far, even for him. The vampire is Casper.

Now they've met, Alfie and Casper can't seem to leave each other alone, despite their best efforts. Alfie learns that the relationship between vampires and humans is more complicated than just predator and prey. Whatever Casper's misgivings about his own kind, and himself, Alfie is inexorably drawn closer and closer, in a heady, carnal blend of horror, hunger, love and lust.

After spending most of her life with the understanding that nothing changes, no matter how hard you fight, Alestes is faced with a choice: Will she use her new network of allies to build safe harbour and potentially a future for her new community, or will she once again put her head down and drown in her sea of excuses...

ABOUT THE SHOWRUNNER:
My name is Kenneth Vigue, author and narrator of this podcast. Growing up my grandmother would take me to the library in the town where I grew up every weekend. One fateful day, I ventured out of the children's room and headed up the massive Victorian staircase to the upstairs. I was awestruck by the 3-level open space, surrounded with balconies filled with books. In one cornered I wandered up to the very top level and found a dark and dusty corner room. It was filled floor to ceiling with records, which I had never seen before. I checked out "Lights Out: Murder Castle", a vintage radio horror. So began a lifelong love of the kind of audio wizardry that could be cooked up with sound long, long before television. It required an active imagination, and it cultivated it in turn.
Podcasting today has given new life to this vintage auditory art form, with groundbreaking shows such as "The NoSleep Podcast", "Limetown" and "The Black Tapes" being modern versions of classic radio drama.
With this podcast, 3 of my great loves have come together into some kind of mutated concoction of sound. My hope is to see more Fallout fans getting creative, sharing their passion and building on this amazing universe.

At the Penumbra, you might follow Juno Steel, a brooding, sharp-witted private eye on Mars, as he tangles with an elusive homme fatale, tracks dangerous artifacts of an ancient alien civilization, and faces his three greatest fears: heights, blood, and relationships.

The Twelvelms Conspiracy is a brand new fantasy mystery audio drama from Eira Major, creator of Remnants, Not Quite Dead and Spirit Box Radio. Set in a magical world hidden just out of sight, it’s a story fraught with social and class tension, exploring ideas about what it means to belong, and what it means to live with the legacy of terrible decisions made generations ago whose consequences have shaped everything around you.
Cyan Goodman does not belong at twelvelms and everyone knows it. Especially him. The university has trained the finest mages in magedom for centuries, but Cyan only found out it existed two weeks ago. Out of his depth, with nowhere else to go, Cyan is allowed to enroll at Twelvelms under one condition; that he keeps the circumstances under which he was admitted completely secret.
To make things more complicated, the only reason he was given a space at the school at all is because another boy has gone missing, under extremely mysterious circumstances. It seems like there’s a much bigger problem lurking just out of sight at Twelvelms, one which reaches far beyond Cyan’s secrets and into the foundations of magedom itself.
Cyan narrates his story years after these events, and his circumstances have become even stranger...

After Impact follows the story of Reagan Esther Myer, one of the survivors of a mysterious apocalyptic event called Impact. Shortly after joining the pilot program for ThotBot, a brain implant that erases "harmful" memories and dulls emotions, she begins her life living in an abandoned shopping mall and producing survivalist tutorials for a crumbling world. Shortly after arriving at her new post, she finds a cassette tape detailing her very own journey from the day of Impact -- June 21, 1995 -- up until the day she joins The ULTRA.
This dystopian audio drama is one of four multi-platform "Episodes" that tell the story of Reagan Esther Myer and the ThotBot Storyworld. In addition to this tale, there are also three performance-based Episodes: an interactive installation, a multimedia musical, and an immersive theater show. Whereas each Episode stands alone narratively, together they weave a sprawling story across a mid-90s timeline.

BLOOD RAGE MODE is a supernatural audio drama set in a reimagined Vancouver, following the fun and sometimes freaky adventures of three best friends: AG, the short-tempered but fiercely protective werewolf with a mysterious, lone wolf past (played by CK Kaur); SELENE, the indecisive city witch torn between magical majors (played by Junita Thiessen); and AVELINE, a half-vampire/elf with a peculiar blood disorder, putting her in a deep sleep one hundred years for every ten she is awake (played by Delphine Menu) .
Join these young women as they prepare to fight the “Good Boys,” a human supremacist group rising in ranks; make new friends; search for a cure to the incurable; experience budding romance... and unveil the truth.
Writer/Actor CK Kaur created this world in parallel with stories of the “supernatural” in fiction, and the real lives of marginalized people. BLOOD RAGE MODE twists stereotypes and defies typical fantasy tropes to create an empowered story for the traditionally voiceless, that better reflects the diverse world we live in. As a second-generation Canadian WOC, Kaur knows firsthand what it means to live within many different worlds occupying one space.
Director/Actor Junita Thiessen promises to deliver a show full of action, humour, and the joy of friendship between women. Thiessen also uses her unique perspective as a 2nd generation WOC in the actualisation of this story; BLOOD RAGE MODE is set against the sounds of traffic and nature, just like its real-life setting of Vancouver, just within an alternate parallel universe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Audit Drama Podcasts
What is an audio drama podcast?
An audio drama podcast is a type of podcast that tells a fictional story using sound effects, music, and voice actors. It's essentially a radio play that you can listen to on demand. Audio dramas can cover a wide range of genres, from science fiction and fantasy to crime and mystery.
What are some popular audio drama podcasts?
Some popular audio drama podcasts include Welcome to Night Vale, The Bright Sessions, Limetown, The Magnus Archives, and We're Alive.
How are audio dramas different from traditional audiobooks or radio dramas?
Audio dramas differ from traditional audiobooks in that they use sound effects and music to create a more immersive experience. They also often feature a full cast of voice actors, whereas audiobooks are usually narrated by a single person. Audio dramas are similar to radio dramas, but the main difference is that they are distributed as podcasts and can be listened to on demand rather than at a specific broadcast time.
What makes a good audio drama podcast?
A good audio drama podcast should have compelling characters, an engaging plot, and high-quality production values. The voice acting should be top-notch, and the sound effects and music should add to the overall atmosphere of the story. Good pacing is also important - the story should move along at a steady pace without feeling rushed or dragging on too long.
Can audio dramas be educational?
Yes, audio dramas can be educational. While they are primarily a form of entertainment, some audio dramas incorporate historical or scientific facts into their stories. For example, the audio drama podcast "The History of Rome" tells the story of the Roman Empire in an engaging and educational way. "The Bright Sessions" incorporates mental health themes and discussions about therapy into its fictional plot. Additionally, many audio dramas explore complex social issues, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia, which can be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
