    Station to Station is the newest seralized audio drama from Procyon, the network behind The Strange Case of Starship Iris and Under Pressure. Station to Station is a highly atmospheric podcast verging on the horror drama, but the show has decided for slow-burn suspense over up-front grisly details. From the Procyon website, here is Station to Station‘s…

    Podcast Problems: Good Conversation, Bad Podcast

    There’s something that happens to me fairly often when I listen to a new nonfiction podcast. I’ll hear about a podcast that discusses some subject I care about, and I’ll be so excited for a new nonfiction show to latch onto. Maybe it’ll be the new Radiolab or Invisibilia, I think, or maybe…

The show debuted just around when Radiotopia’s The Truth started. While I’d heard of The Truth plenty, I hadn’t heard about Earbud Theater until recently, and I’m so disappointed in myself for not…
