All Newsletters

A bit of an inversion this issue compared to prior ones, as we have more shows in the "Coming Soon" section than we do in "Recently Complete". And, looking at my running list of target dates for new seasons of shows coming soon, this may quickly become the norm!

As a reminder, if you really love this free service that I spend 20-ish hours on each week, you can become a personal supporter of The End.

I'm trying out a slightly tweaked format for the issues, getting some consistency in the data provided, as well as giving some distinction between each section. Do let me know what you think.

And scroll down to the bottom (or click the link up top if you're a Gmail user) to see the stats. As you'll note, we're headed for 1000 subscribers!

Before I get to the stories—and there are some great ones today—I'm going to bring up sponsorship and individual support. Yes, again.

Big thanks to Radio Drama Revival for becoming the Presenting Sponsor of the "coming soon" section, something new we cooked up together. See? I'm flexible! Many more options are available if you too wish to support The End and the service provided, now reaching more than 900 audio fiction lovers just like you every week!

Happy almost-2023! it looks like we won't quite hit my personal goal of getting 1000 subscribers by the end of the year, but we're quite close to 900, so I'm taking the win! Feel free to tell a few dozen people about this place, however. We can take it!

For those of you who celebrate, stay safe at your NYE parties. For those who'd rather stay in, the stories below are a good way to spend the coming days off!

I guess this is the Christmas edition, if only due to proximity to the calendar. So if you celebrate (I do!), merry Christmas. Or Happy Hanukkah. Joyus Solstice. Fabulous Festivus. Et al.

A special holiday thanks to Joseph Stephen Leonardo for becoming our latest individual supporter. You can do that too on our freshly-revamped Support page.

Let's get to the gifts, er... complete fiction podcasts for this issue, shall we?

If you're wondering what to buy me for Christmas; booze works. Or becoming a personal supporter of The End. I'm easy!  

A lot of fiction podcasters are using Tumblr, so The End has a Tumbler account as well! While The End is most active on Mastodon these days, we tend to go where the creators and listeners are!  

I've added a section about how this newsletter is performing. Transparency plus accountability for the win! Scroll to the bottom to see it. (And if your email provider truncates, click the "view in browser" link in the upper right to see the whole thing. Working on solving that.)

Last week, I highlighted a bunch of long fiction podcasts, perfect for a long drive. This week, I'm bringing balance to the universe by highlighting, with two notable exceptions, shows you can easily binge in a day.

We're super close to 800 subscribers—thank you! Keeps spreading the word of The End to your friends.

With that, let's get into it.

Welcome to December! Our 🎄is up, the gifts are wrapped, and baking has commenced here at The End HQ.

My gift to you? A slew of complete fiction podcasts to keep you occupied as you do your last-month-of-the-year activities.

Before we get to the tales—a quick shout-out to our newest collaborating sponsor, The Big Minute! Dive into a new podcast every Sunday, and uncover what makes their audio stand out.

Let's get to the stories!

Happy Thanksgiving Day to those in the US who celebrate. And for those who commemorate today as the National Day of Mourning—I see and respect you.

Many people have long trips ahead of them this time of year, so my personal selections this week are long. Like.... really long. But also incredibly engaging and entertaining.

Let's get into it!

We broke another subscriber milestone, with over 700 of you signed up to get this missive every week. Again. my thanks. Tell your friends! We can handle more. 😄

Only one big change to make you aware of this week: I've pared down the number of Featured shows from four to two. I'm concerned about running out of content, as I only feature a show if I've listened to it in its entirety. And I'm concerned about overloading your listening queue too!

You'll still get the comprehensive (as I know it) list of recently finished and soon-to-start-up-again shows, so you'll have plenty to choose from.

With that, let's get into this week's issue!
