The Polybius Conspiracy & Bronzeville + 2 season finales!

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 weekly newsletter 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 get into it, a quick note to let you know I’ve totally overhauled the newsletter this week. I think it flows much better, it should look much better on mobile devices, and be more close to acceptable for those who use screen readers. Do me a favor and have a look, and then give me your feedback. Much obliged in advance. Now… where was I? Oh, yes—

Let’s get into it, shall we?

Last Week

The most recent issue of The End - the 42nd highlighted 7 shows in the Season Finales & Finished Series section, and 2 of them wrapped within the last week:

• 🤨😀🤮 • Goodbye Blue Mondays, a dramatized absurdist scifi comedy from LovelyMachine & Story Engine, posted the finale of their 1st season on June 20th. Give yourself just over 2 hours to listen to the six episodes in preparation for Season 2 starting next April.
• 
  
• 🧍🏿‍♀️👁🕴 • Liars & Leeches , a dramatized supernatural horror from Hemlock Creek Productions, finished their first season on June 16th. It’ll take you about 4h to listen to the 10 current episodes. Season two will happen next year.

This Week

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

• 🕹️🌲🔥 Up first is The Polybius Conspiracy, a dramatized thriller from Jon Frechette & Todd Luoto in conjunction with Wayland Productions. I spent a lot of quarters in arcades in the 80s, but luckily nothing like this happened to me. Check out the trailer for this mocumentary. [trailer plays] The Polybius Conspiracy is a complete show with 7 episodes for about 3 and a half hours of pew-pew enjoyment.
• 
  
• 🌃🎰🍸 My next recommendation is Bronzeville | dramatized historical fiction thriller from Josh Olsen via Realm. Listen, Laurence Fishburne is just one of the starts in this exceptional period piece set in Chicago’s sound side. Here’s the trailer: [trailer plays] Bronzville is compete with 2 seasons and 17 episodes for almost 11 hours of entertainment.

Next Week

The latest issue of The End has 2 entries in the New Seasons Coming Soon section, and neither of those restarts starts this month. So before I get to the remaining trailers and snippets, I wanted to say a huge thank you to Ben, Colin, Fred, Charlotte, and Craig, each of whom recently became individual supporters of The End with a teeny-tiny contribution each month. They get value out of The End, so they’re returning to me some of that value. If you’re so inclined, please check out the Support page on the website.

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 included in the 42nd issue of The End, including links to listen to the shows mentioned in this episode, please visit TheEnd.fyi.

I’m Evo Terra. Thanks for listening.
