The Drabblecast Forums

The cinematic experience is one of the many things I love about the Drabblecast. I thought the sounds and music in this episode were great. There was a moment where I did notice the music quite prominently during the narration and at that moment I remember thinking the music seemed new and creepy an...

Wow. That story was intense. My heart was racing as my adrenaline was pumping. Hey, wait a minute... I too was unclear about where this was all taking place, as well as a few other things.

Brilliant! Nicely done.

As the pain in his abdomen reached an excruciating crescendo, Lovecraft crushed his tongue into pulp and yielded to intestinal cancer. An unknowable amount of time later, Lovecraft opened his eyes and gasped at the lack of pain, absence of blood, and elderly black gentleman sitting next to him, read...

I loved this week's winning Twabble, where time order changes. Super clever and smart. The main story this week was good (to me) but not great. I love my pets but it took long to figure out who the narrator was and then it wasn't really clear who we were hearing from. If it was a swarm of sentient n...

So much to love about this one. I’d never heard any Tiptree stories either and am now researching which of hers to start with. If anyone has recommendations I’m all ears. One theme I enjoy in stories (and life) is oppressed people biding their time while planning a rebellion or escape from oppressor...

I just heard this one “on air” and wow was it good.
Oof. Right in the feels.

Good story but ended pretty abruptly to me. I wasn't sure whether the main character had never been turned into a human, or had been turned into a human in a painful process, and then turned back into a fish frog without feeling it or noticing it. Also, it wasn't clear that her sisters' previously d...

I loved this one in part because it was gruesome and crazy but also because it how in certain societies everyone can just "get used to" certain bizarre and cruel rituals. We all cringed at the bat hitting the nutsack but what things in our own world are pretty crazy and we just accept them as that's...

Exciting and great news about Nathan Lee stepping (fully) into the spotlight. This transition seems like the best of all worlds. As for this story, I too am completely zombie'd out. The whole genre just makes no sense from the perspective of basic physics once a zombie lasts to the point that it nee...

This was great to listen to. Did not realize there was video until I came here just now.

I'd love to get to a live Drabblecast event someday!

I found this to be a sad but sweet story. One discordant note for me was the father's seemingly irrational reaction. If my son had been writing letters to someone and then disappeared and that someone was my only lead, I wouldn't threaten to kill him. On an unrelated note, you might be surprised to ...

It was bizarre for me to hear these stories come to life since I am the guy who makes up new cat with blue fur stories every other night for my little boys. It's one thing to see some stories submitted in a contest and something totally different to listen to them professionally produced. It will ob...

After a frustrating effort I can safely say I've tried everything I can think of to get my iPhone to subscribe to B sides. No dice, and I think that there's no solution in sight that gets B-sides directly onto our phones so long as it remains as a password protected feed because Apple says they won'...

Damn good episode. Hilarious, thought-provoking, and wonderful to hear all our favorite voices. Great casting.

Loved this episode

Thank you to everyone who took the time to write and enter a story! It may be many years before I can read some of the darker ones to my kids.

I'm excited to hear the winners turned into audio productions, and to see one of the authors continue to the next phase of this project!

If anyone finishes a story after the deadline and would like me to read it and comment, please post it someplace and message me and I'll be glad to take a look!

This was an excellent story and a great Drabble too.
