In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark. Since before our kind knew these hills, hearts of unknowable hunger and madness have slumbered beneath them. These are the darkest mountains in the world. How dare we think we can break the skin of a god and dig out its heart without bringing forth blood and darkness? Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake.

Hi, I'm Ben, and I hope you are having a hauntingly good day. "Do you wanna hear a ghost story?" was born from my passion for storytelling, particularly traditional oral storytelling. A pastime I fear is fading. When I was just a kid, my family would love to scare me as we sat around the campfire. While it often worked, I was still left with fond memories of this experience, and I wish to share that with you. So, you and I will sit around this virtual campfire every Wednesday. I will share stories of paranormal encounters experienced by people like you. You see, my vision for this extends beyond sharing stories. I want to share your story... I strive to make this a welcoming place where anyone who has crossed paths with anything that goes bump in the night feels safe sharing their story, and if they desire to have me retell it for the group, I will. If you, like me, believe that ghost stories are best when shared, then it is my delight to have you here. I cannot wait for the stories we will share, and please don't forget to join the conversation; I love hearing from you! If you have feedback on an episode, want to say hello, or have a story, please get in touch with me at [email protected]. You can connect with me here or @wannahearaghoststory on Instagram and TikTok. Thank you for joining me on this spooky journey. Do you wanna hear a ghost story?

Fiction Podcasts

You might be wondering, what sets fiction podcasts apart from audiobooks? For one, many fiction podcasts were not originally books and offer a unique storytelling experience. Unlike radio plays, they typically follow the length and structure of a TV show, with multiple seasons and episodes. While science fiction, mystery, and horror are among the most popular genres, the world of fiction podcasts is vast and diverse, ranging from comedic sitcoms featuring well-known comedians to complex detective dramas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fiction Podcast

These are just a few examples, and the podcasting landscape is constantly evolving with new and exciting shows.

Can I start listening to a fiction podcast from any episode?

While some fiction podcasts have self-contained episodes that can be enjoyed individually, many fiction podcasts have a continuous narrative that builds from episode to episode.

Creating a fiction podcast involves several steps. First, you'll need to develop a compelling story and script. Then, gather a team of voice actors, find or create sound effects and music, and record your episodes. Editing and post-production are essential to ensure a polished final product. Finally, choose a podcast hosting platform to upload your episodes and distribute them to podcast directories. It's important to invest in good-quality audio equipment and editing software to enhance the listener's experience. Additionally, promoting your podcast through social media, online communities, and word of mouth can help you grow your audience.

Unsubstantiated Cartoon Theories in less the 5 minutes. Maybe we are reading too much into these classic cartoon episodes. Maybe we’re not. Welcome to Flintsons & Jetstones, a literary resource for the summation of classic cartoons into proper audiobooks. Our prim and properest gratitude must be expressed to Hanna-Barbera and those brother Warner, who found the gumption to endeavor in the two of the most renowned animation studios in the history of the medium. Hanna-Barbera, as we all know, was founded by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced such beloved shows as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Yogi Bear Show, Wacky Races and The Smurfs. Warner Bros. Animation, meanwhile, was responsible for creating the iconic Looney Tunes characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig. So sit back and grab a spot of tea as you prepare to be delighted by our recounting and reading too far into of, classic cartoons. Twitter: flintandjet Youtube: flintandjet flintandjet.com

The Flower of the Cedar is a tale of dryads, from a time long before human history began. Lara, a young dryad, once had three hearts (as with all her kind). To recover them and bring them to life, she must set out on an unknown journey. Fearing the god of the land, who reportedly devours hearts, and inexplicably drawn to the lamia (who, tales say, revive hearts by an ominous method called guttings), she leaves her home, embarking on the heart-finding quest. For lovers of fantasy, mythology, and fairy tales—for those whose bookshelves may harbor the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Madeleine L’Engle, and others of their glad company—or for dabblers in mysticism and the sacred feminine—this story will doubtless have deep resonance.

Kidnapped is the story of a 16-year old young man who is searching for his true birthright and is determined to make a fortune after the death of his parents. This timeless tale by Robert Louis Stevenson follows the life of David Balfour who leaves his home in Scotland after the death of his parents. First he meets his uncle for the first time in his life. His uncle is a very mean person who, at first, tried to kill David by devious means but then got him kidnapped onto a slave ship. In the ship, David makes friends with a Scottish rebel and together they successfully defeat the ship’s crew. The rebel, Alan, cherishes a dream to overthrow the British rulers of Scotland. Soon after the shipwreck, the two escaped but were later charged for being accomplices in the murder of a British supporter by the name of Colin Campbell. Although the novel’s adventures get a kick-start by this kidnapping, it is true that the hero of the story spends very little time as a captive. The character of Alan is very important as without his friendship the story would have ended very quickly. David would have been forced into slavery or would have escaped and met a poor fate due to starvation and want of money. On the contrary, David enters into new adventures with Alan on the ship itself. But after being charged with the grave crime of murder, readers are forced to ask two pertinent questions – Will these two escape from the hands of the British soldiers? Will David ever confront his sly uncle and fight to get back his inheritance? This is a very exciting and adventure filled story and all readers, old or young, will like the way the novel slowly unfolds. The setting of the story is very beautiful and there are vivid descriptions of the woods, waterfalls and streams which they jump over. The story is set in 1751 and the author has successfully narrated the story keeping in mind the history of the time. If you love adventure stories then you simply cannot ignore this fast-moving adventure which promises to keep the reader engrossed from start-to-finish.

Chapel and Squeak are two rodent buddies (a mouse and a rat, respectively) who live in a community within the walls of an old—but still operating—country church. Set against the backdrop of the quiet little church, the animals carry out their adventures. Chapel is a well-behaved mouse who wants nothing more than to do good. His best friend, Squeak, has a heart of gold, but is constantly getting into trouble and—way too often—dragging Chapel along with him. Adventures abound as this core cast interacts with a host of quirky characters and tries to stay undercover from the humans, while also secretly helping out whenever they can.
