I also watched the entirety of Griffin McElroy's Pokemon Nuzlocke Run, despite never having played a Pokemon game. It was nice, chill plane viewing.

via the Yuletide tagset I found The Twenty Percent True Podcast which has 12 episode arcing storyline for Season 3 called "Chicago Center for Supernatural Support" which made for a good listen. I found it via itunes but it's also on its website here: http://twentypercenttrue.blogspot.com/2018/07/chicago-center-for-supernatural-support.html

Ooh, thank you! Is there a page somewhere that contains a blurb or something telling me what it's about?

[donutsweeper]

Hmm oddly none that I can find. Probably because it wants the story to unfold naturally?

Basically it's about people adjacent to the orbit of the Chicago Center for Supernatural Support (which is kind of what it sounds like - a center that helps support the supernatural) all the while taking place in the normal, non-supernatural/unknowing-about-supernatural world.

[flamebyrd]

Hmm. Is it more horror or urban fantasy? Light-hearted or gritty? I love supernatural stuff but I have to be careful when engaging with it because I'm pretty easily freaked out.

[donutsweeper]

not remotely horror at all. Pretty light hearted, despite the subject- like it includes the description of a werewolf attack but it's very 'mad dog and wtf'' kind of thing. I'd definitely say much more urban fantasy than SPN or anything

[flamebyrd]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[donutsweeper]

Hope you like them :)
