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.

Meegan May and Lauren Anderson discuss their sci-fi comedy Starship Q Star, the importance of friction in comedy, their love of Star Trek, the freedom of writing Queer characters with flaws, and balancing the story you want to tell with the story that will sell.
I have a #blog, and I review and recommend #audiodrama on it.
I know it sounds like not much really, but it is somewhat important to me.
Why?
For the most of my life I was certain that I can't really get into audiobooks, or any other kind of #audiofiction, because, well, it was to hard for me to focus on etc.
But few years ago I discovered that it really is easier now for me to 'read stuff' on my #headphones, partially due to my PTSD. So I started listening to audiodrama because it helped me survive being in public spaces at first, but I got lots and lots of more than that!
I discovered a vibrant, beautiful, #queer, #divergent, colorful #community that gave me not only entertainment, but also knowledge, friendship, place to belong, sense of community and representation.
So I want to share it with others in the best way I know.
That's why I want to get introduce you to The #Shoutbox Blog!
I post #reviews, recommendations, gossip and exciting news about audio fiction world, and you are more than welcome to join the fun!
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?
If you're looking for some #Halloween audio treats, a while back I had the pleasure of being the narrator for a broadcast of Dennis Etchison's legendary unproduced supernatural take on Michael Myers. (The story behind the broadcast follows below, a story in itself!)
The Necroloupe is a legendary tree believed to grow near graves and cemeteries. Often referred to as the "Grief Tree," it's thought that its roots draw sustenance from nearby corpses, and its fruit is said to hold the hidden wisdom of the deceased. Esoteries such as "the Necroloupe (named after the tree)," hold this tree in high regard, seeing it as a symbol of knowledge transcending death. Some claim to have tasted its fruit, absorbing insights from the world beyond.
