Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast that came out in like 2012 but they’re still running strong with biweekly uploads and trust me it is the most eerie but enthralling podcast. I have been listening for years at random but I am just now starting from the beginning and going in order hehe.

So one of my favorite podcasts is Welcome to Night Vale, and it’s a sci-fi show narrated by the local radio host of the fictitious town of Night Vale. As part of his show, he says “and now, the weather,” except the “weather” segment is a real song from a real life band or artist. I’ve found some cool songs from this (and some goofy ones, like a still laugh whenever I find myself waiting for the bus in the rain).
Animal Skin by Bryan Dunn is the one to come to mind, but I’ve linked the playlist for these songs :)

This is one of my favorite fiction podcasts & it's from the creators of Welcome to Night Vale! Each season takes a different form of "found audio" and explores a different part of the same alternate universe, so you can start piecing together information about the shared world they are set in. I won't spoil too much, but some of the characters connect as well. The first season is in the form of hospital relaxation tapes, then later seasons move to museum audio guides, voicemails, etc. SUPER interesting but also calming to listen to. The museum audio guide is my favorite, because the writers basically created their own art history for this alternate universe that was influenced by the universe's historical events. It gives a lot more context for the world we were introduced to in Season 1. This podcast completely expanded my view of how stories can be told; cannot recommend it enough!!

if you’re into podcasts that have extremely long, overarching stories, try welcome to night vale, the adventure zone or the magnus archives. the adventure zone: balance is peak d&d liveplay podcasting for me, it seriously changed my mental state as a young teen, and it’s funny, emotional and has great music. as for albums, i’ve been loving imogen heap extended editions with instrumentals, like speak for yourself and sparks
