Binge-Listen: Finished Fiction Podcast Trailers

Greetings, and welcome to The End Last Week, This Week, and Next Week, the podcast companion to The End, the newsletter and listener-focused directory that shines a light back on audio fiction shows after they've reached the finale of a season or the conclusion of the series. I am your host and the curator of The End, Evo Terra.

Before we begin, I need to give a quick and heartfelt shout-out to Jon and the team from Mortis Maledictum for signing as a Supporting Creative Shop. It is greatly appreciated, Jon, and a welcome salve to the fog of pain that’s been surrounding me all week post-failed-procedure to remove a kidney stone. Bah.

You can support my efforts on The End like Jon did by visiting TheEnd.fyi/support.

And now, let’s get into it, shall we?

Last Week

The most recent issue of The End—the 73rd—highlighted just three shows in either the Recently Completed Series or Recent Season Finales sections… and all three of them wrapped in the last few days.

• 🇺🇸🕵️‍♂️🇫🇷 • The American, a narrated thriller series from Matthew C. McLean, posted the Season 1 finale on January 25th. You can listen to the 10 current episodes in 1h 34m, with season 2 just a couple of weeks away.
• 
  
• 🕵️‍♂️🔥😱 • Springleaf, a dramatized comedic “true” crime series from James Acaster & Mighty Bunny crowdfunded via Kickstarter, is fully complete as of the 23rd of January. You’ll need about five hours to listen to all 10 episodes.
• 
  
• 🗡️🪭🌸 • Tales of the Emerald Legacy, a narrated fantasy series from Emerald Legacy CIC, posted the Season 1 finale on the 18th. Listen to the 10 current episodes in a bit over 2 hours.
• 
  
• And be sure to listen to the end of the audio file to hear trailers or snippets for these shows.

This Week

With every issue, I make two recommendations for great audio fiction I personally love. As with all things in life, YMMV.

• 🌞🎢🕵️‍♀️ • My first recommendation is Mockery Manor, a dramatized comedy mystery series from Long Cat Media. This show is a joy to listen to. Which is an odd thing to say about a murder mystery, I know! Exquisitely produced. Incredibly well-acted. And just the right amount of absurdity. Here’s the Season 3 teaser: [teaser plays] Mockery Manor currently has 3 seasons with 37 episodes, giving you 17 hours of murder-mystery funhouse-slash-amusement park fun!
• 
  
• 🏛️🗳️😰 • My next recommendation is Terms, a dramatized thriller from Airship. This show is political intrigue at its best. The outstanding performance and production will help, as the subject matter is a little too close for comfort. Again. Here’s the teaser: [teaser plays] Terms is a complete series (at least, I hope so) with 13 episodes and a listening time of about four hours.

Next Week

The latest issue of The End has five entries in the New Seasons Coming Soon section, and one of them starts up again in the next few days.

Season 15 of Lost Terminal, a dramatized hopepunk scifi series from Tristram Oaten & Namtao Productions, starts on 5 Feb 2024. Catch up with the current 140 episodes in 36h 02m.

And as a reminder, trailers or snippets for that show and the other shows I mentioned at the top of the episode are coming your way right after I say…

And that’s all for this episode of The End Last Week, This Week, and Next Week. For these and the other audio fiction shows featured, highlighted, and coming soon that were part of the 73rd issue of The End, including all sorts of new and exciting easy ways to listen, and something very new called Collections, please visit TheEnd.fyi. I’m Evo Terra. Thanks for listening.
