King Falls AM
Genre/theme: supernatural, hills have eyes (kinda), spooky, comedy, fiction
Status: Permanently unfinished
CW:
Looking for a small American quirky town radioshow that covers alien abductions, werewolves, and the strange happenings? This is a fiction podcast that is super queer positive and never ceases to make me laugh (and sometimes cry from the emotional depth it hits with its characters).
Strange Case Of Starship Iris
Genre/theme:
Status: Unfinished but still releasing
CW:
A ship mysteriously malfunctions in the middle of nowhere space, she is saved by a crew of fast in their feet ‘definitely not pirates’ that are all mostly queer. This show follows a lesbian scientist and an amazing crew in a sy-fy world that takes down a horrible company that caused the war.

Status: Finished
CW: bugs, body horror, monsters in the dark, delusions, paranoia, losing identity, buried alive, burning/ fires, dismissing horror for mental illness, ringing sound effects.
Spooky graphic horror based in Britain, hella episodic at the start and gives me the fucking creeps when I listen to it in the dark so caution. Has overarching plot and heavily horror, note that the first 100 episodes do not have trigger warnings (see their wiki for all episode trigger warnings), this podcast can be incredibly triggering for bugs, body horror, monsters in the dark, delusions, paranoia, losing identity, buried alive, burning/ fires etc, while it aims to be horror and not trauma it can be traumatic if you’re not prepared.
Dreamboy
Genre/themes: Gay sex. Musical. Small town attraction. Captalism.
Status: Finished
CW: Drugs, NSFW explicit sex scenes
Want dicks described pretty? Here’s ya lad, short as far as podcasts go! Heavy mlm cis gay sexual content and got some amazing songs and follows a really nice story line. NSFW to the max, explicit, very gay. From the writers of Nightvale

Status: Finished
CW: Major character death, major character injury, yelling, guns, bombs, memory loss, hearing voices, subtle racism
OW this ripped my heart out. Capitalism, secret government and a falling apart spaceship in the middle of nowhere with a quirky AI keeping the ship together. You have a make-jokes-to-cope communications officer, an exasperated captain who’s an absolute queen, and a off-the-rails doctor with a funky accent. Ace, queer.
Archive 81
Genre/themes:

Science fiction sitcom, an unlikely friendship between an alien who’s sight make humans throw up and a human that needs a place to stay and a job in the unluckiest place in space. Don’t let sitcom stop you, it’s just has long form episodes instead of short 20 minute episodes. Based on a space station, primarily funny, heart breaking at times. It’s a comedy sci-fi soap opera that is incredibly complex but has really strong plot, setting and background - trust me there is overarching plot.
