Greetings! I'm Evo, no longer on my own single-instance server, which seemed like a good idea but, franky... I can't be bothered. That, and I'm already paying to run Podvibes, so...
Here's my latest #introduction which tells you want to expect from following me here on the Fediverse, in a handy🧵:
• #AudioFiction - I exclusively listen to fiction podcasts, so you'll hear me shouting about those I love.
• #Podcasting - Even though I retired from podcast punditry in 2022, I still have thoughts on we podcasters can make podcasting better. While I try to channel them towards #FictionPodcast creators, there's some over spill.
#NewEpisode OUT NOW!

Let’s do that again! This show recently wrapped, so consider adding it to your listening queue for #AudioDramaSunday:
🔮🧙♂️🧻 • The Wizard Scroll, a dramatized sword & sorcery #scifi#comedy from Chris RR Bauso & Fable & Folly, which, according to the creator, “ain't yo momma's Tolkein!,” posted the Season 3 finale the 25th of November.
Tales of high fantasy, of trials and triumph, of quests both epic and mundane, as well as the occasional musical number. The realm of Yyrgsland is filled to the brim with all manner of folk that would perhaps have made even the late and great Tolkien himself snicker in delight.
• 37 current episodes
• Listening time: 18h 35m
• Next season status: Slated for Mar 2024
Over on Podvibes, the #Mastodon instance for #FictionPodcast creators, I'm offering up small tips to help folks, shows, and production houses get the most out of their time on the #Fediverse.
It's all about the cultivation, I think. So if you know any #AudioDrama or #AudioFiction peeps who are looking to get started in our post-Big Centralized Social world, tell them about that instance, would you?
Shortly after my fourteenth birthday, I was tricked into passing through an inter-dimensional gateway to a world called Dunari. Years later, I’m still here. And ready to talk about it.

Hello, and welcome to the Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality. The Audio Tour Guide will be your window into the history of the museum and its exhibits today. If you notice your Guide behaving oddly, kindly ensure that you dispose of your Device in the nearest incinerator.

Evo's notes:
I didn't think this show was for me, but then I listened and proved myself wrong. It's funny and thoughtful at the same time. A nice and cozy listen, I think!
