Total Eclipse of Your Ears with Finished Audio Fiction

Ok, that title was a bit of a stretch. But if the weather plays nice, I'll make the 16-hour drive—one-way—from Phoenix to south Texas so I can see Monday's total eclipse with my own eyeballs. Rest assured I've queued up plenty of audio fiction to listen to for the drive!

It looks like Ryan Murphy of Your Horror Show fame is trying to buy my love after the grief he's put me through on this upcoming season of the show, as he recently signed up as a Supporting Creative Shop, helping to financially support our efforts here at The End. And it totally worked! Thank you, Ryan. (Now—drop the damned next season!) For the rest of you lot, as I am fond of saying, BE LIKE RYAN!

Before I get into the new listings in our directory, I want to highlight two more collections of finished audio fiction for you:

• A.I. Is Going Great! - From Skynet to HAL9000, synthetic sentience was supposed to make our lives better. Yeah, right. Here in the real world, it feels like "A.I" (ironic quotes intentional) is encroaching on many aspects of our lives. This is nothing new to the world of science fiction, where synthetic life forms and assistive "robots" live alongside us human beings. But we've a long way to go before we get to that utopia. Here are some shows that highlight when things go—perhaps predictably—bad.
• TV Tropes (But For Your Ears) - Sitcoms, soap operas, police procedurals, fake reality shows, and other types of storytelling popularized on the small screen. From the golden days of 3-channel broadcasting to today's fractured world of streaming services, TV shows are a staple for billions of viewers around the world. This collection of audio fiction shows take their inspiration from formats that were originally conceived of and perfected (?) for TV viewers.

Browse those or the other collections to find your next fix when you're in between newsletters. And speaking of newsletters...

Let's get into it, shall we?
