I listen to many podcasts. It's a great way to consume awesome new stories, and an emerging force in storytelling. I'd like to tell you about some of my faves. Look for them in your favorite podcast apps.

Ongoing podcasts

Rabbits

We think of ARGs (alternate reality games) as relatively new things. But what if they weren't? What if there was an ancient ARG, run every few years, with implications on the nature of reality itself?

ars PARADOXICA

When an experiment goes wrong, scientist Sally Grissom finds herself in the past, during WW2. How will her accidental discovery of time travel impact the world, and her own life?

The Black Tapes

It's like X-Files, without the aliens. Or the FBI. Okay, it's not really like the X-Files. Journalist Alex Reagen investigates the unsolved cases of the Strand Institute, an organization dedicated to debunking the paranormal, as well as investigating Dr. Richard Strand, the foundation's enigmatic head.

Tanis

An ancient myth, conspiracies, and weirdness all surrounding the American Pacific Northwest. Nic Silver, who is also in The Black Tapes and mentioned in Rabbits, as all three are from the same people and share a fictional universe, investigates.

Welcome To Night Vale

The giant of serialized fiction podcasts. If you've listened to one, it's probably this one, all about a small town where every conspiracy theory is true.

Alice Isn't Dead

From the makers of Night Vale comes what I consider to be a better podcast. A truck driver is on a quest to find her missing wife, Alice. On the way, she'll discover Alice had some terrible secrets, and that there are evils afoot, working with the US government.

Gone

A relatively new podcast, which, like Alice Isn't Dead, is about a woman and her missing wife. But when the protagonist's wife disappeared here, so did everyone else.

Finished podcasts

Steal The Stars

The security chief in a facility that hosts a possibly dead alien falls in love with a new security officer. But fraternization is strictly forbidden. What will she do?

The Message

An earlier podcast from the writer of Steal The Stars. Nicky Tomalin joins the team investigating an old message of possible extraterrestrial origin, as their podcaster, reporting on what's going on. But things may not be what they seem.

Do you listen to an awesome serial fiction podcast I may not know about? I'd be happy to hear about it!
