Hey fellow bees.

I like listening to podcasts as it helps me focus and is just a fun way to experience other peoples thoughts and opinions.

Recently I started listening to actual audio dramas, like the ones produced by QCode (Carrier, Blackout) or even the narrated Hobbit / LOTR books with sound effects.

Are there any other good audio dramas or producers that you can recommend? Any genre is OK, just the ones you like most!

    Ensable readings of audiobooks are great when done well. My favorite is a recording of the His Dark Materials series narrated by the author and with different voice actors for all characters.

    For something a bit more classic (and free), I also really enjoyed the Librivox Dramatic reading of Dracula, though some readers come off better than others.

    In both cases, the books really lend themselves to the format: in His Dark Materials, there’s near constant dialogue since every character has a companion spirit to chat with, and Dracula is written as a series of letters and journals so each chapter follows a different character’s perspective and style.
