Apologies if there's already a spot for these on the forum -I just can't seem to find it. Just wanted to post a thread for recommendations/ ideas. I think there's a bit of a debate about about audiobooks (read @The Big Peat comparing them to badly fermented rice) but I think they're a great way of storytelling.
Anyway the internet is a bit of a Wild West for these things and it'd be nice have a spot to see what others make of the content:
-'Transmissions from Colony One'; listened to Series One and I reckon it was very well acted and produced. Humans on Mars and things go awry. Seemed to go for excitement/ drama so the story seemed a little light but I was blown away by the skill of the production.
-'Victoriocity'; I thought this was very well written and produced. Bonkers ye oldy style SF (steampunk?) based around the south of England in an alternative Victorian Universe.
Anyways, just an idea, my reading has gone to hell and audiobooks/ drama seem like a practical alternative. Not sure if Audiobooks should go with 'reading' threads so left them out of this. Also because scripted drama (podcasts?) seem a different skill ...'the obvious familiar noisy thing just happened which means I'm off to do something, so you can go ahead and listen to other folk talking and doing stuff somewhere else -don't worry, there'll be a pile of noises to clue you in on what's going on.'
