This week’s recommendation was a big influence on our show – The Cryptonaturalist, Jarod Anderson’s spectacular narrative fiction podcast about real love for imaginary nature. He’s a poet and a gifted performer and I can’t get enough of his voice. Go check it out in any of your podcast apps.  Next time around in October you’ll be hearing from Auncle Lantern as xe gives some instructions to a new crop about life on that side. Until then, be good to yourself and those you care for, be gentle with your memories, and listen to some good music along the way. TTFN, ta ta for now!  Network: https://fableandfolly.com/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@waitingforoct Tumblr: @monkeymanproductions Discord: https://discord.gg/6NAhrG5 Facebook: Monkeyman Productions BlueSky: @monkeyman.bsky.social Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/zUb0YN1_6mw Learn more about your ad choices.

Here’s a lighthearted rec after that foul-mouthed Raven – why not check out Wanderer’s Journal? It’s a fantasy fiction podcast about Marigold and Pluto, two adventurers linked by a magical journal and an ancient mystery. The way the story unfolds is truly fascinating – check it out and see what you think!  Next time in our story, we’ll be digging deeper with Karo and Yvonne in an episode that includes a special musical guest! So get yourselves ready for that – but for now, settle in for the night, maybe read a bit of Poe beside the fire, and don’t worry about that knocking at the door, I’m sure it’ll take care of itself. Nevermore!   Network: https://fableandfolly.com/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@waitingforoct Tumblr: @monkeymanproductions Discord: https://discord.gg/6NAhrG5 Facebook: Monkeyman Productions BlueSky: @monkeyman.bsky.social Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/zUb0YN1_6mw Learn more about your ad choices.

Our recommendation this episode is such a delightful one – Stories from Ylelmore! This is such a wonderful adventure that’s so fun and thoughtful and well-made and family-friendly – about witches, werewolves, curses, and a world where the magical is absolutely everyday. You don’t want to miss it – go listen right now.  Meanwhile, we’ll be looking forward to our second monologue episode – featuring the Raven, who might be magical but is definitely NOT family-friendly! But you won’t want to miss that, either. Until then, take care, watch for bildads in the underbrush, and keep an ear out for some good poetry along the way.  Network: https://fableandfolly.com/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@waitingforoct Tumblr: @monkeymanproductions Discord: https://discord.gg/6NAhrG5 Facebook: Monkeyman Productions BlueSky: @monkeyman.bsky.social Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/zUb0YN1_6mw Learn more about your ad choices.

This time around I’m recommending The Way We Haunt Now, a lightly horror audio drama about friends, found family, and changing the narratives that try to define us – all subjects our show is into as well! And of course, there are ghosts. Give it a listen, and if you like it, remember to rate and review!  Around here, we’re gearing up for the next full-length episode, where we’ll meet two new characters with familiar voices if you know our other shows. Get ready for the Lindworm and the Hodag – or is it just Hodag? We’ll sort that out next time; for now, well-wishes as you ride the waves!  Network: https://fableandfolly.com/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@waitingforoct Tumblr: @monkeymanproductions Discord: https://discord.gg/6NAhrG5 Facebook: Monkeyman Productions BlueSky: @monkeyman.bsky.social Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/zUb0YN1_6mw Learn more about your ad choices.
