About The End

The End highlights an overlooked segment of audio fiction: completed stories.

Each issue of our newsletter highlights a combination of audio fiction—mostly in podcast form. Two shows are personal recommendations of mine. Other shows have recently reached a stopping point, and some serialized audio fiction shows are returning soon with a brand new season.

Regardless, those who prefer to control their own listening will know what's ready for their own personal all-they-can-eat buffet of fresh and fabulous audio fiction.

"The work you do is very helpful for this guy, with limited vision and the eye strain that makes it too difficult to read through endless podcast descriptions searching for the ones of interest. You make it concise and easier to find my next binge show!"

"Audio fiction is the very best example of the power of sound: it can take us places, tell amazing stories, and make us experience new things. The End is perfect to find new shows to binge on."

Thanks so much including me in your newsletter! I've noticed a pretty substantial spike in listens and traction since it went live, and I think I owe a majority of that increase to you!

It’s been incredible to find your newsletter! I cannot get enough audio fiction but have at times run out of stuff to listen to and have been endlessly frustrated with the cliff hangers. I’m so pleased to have it curated for me! You’re amazing!
