The Deca Tapes & Passenger List + 2 complete series, 1 season finale, and 2 new seasons coming soon!

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.

Let’s get into it, shall we?

Last Week

The most recent issue of The End—the 54th—highlighted 6 shows in the Season Finales & Finished Series section, and 3 of them wrapped in the last few days.

• 🏚👻🥬 • Unwell, a Midwestern Gothic Mystery, a dramatized gothic mystery from HartLife NFP, posted the final episode of their epic 5 season journey yesterday, Sept 13th. Plan on almost 30 hours of entertainment as you listen to all 60 episodes.
• 👵🏼 🦸 ⏳ • Am I Old Yet?, a dramatised slice of life comedy from Flloyd Kennedy & Thunder's Mouth Theatre, has posted the 8th season finale on Sept 8th. So far, there are 97 episodes, or just under 20 hours, of content created, produced and mostly performed by an old woman, with an old woman as the central protagonist. Flying the banner for anti-ageism!)
• 🏥🌀🤖 • Nightingale, a dramatized scifi mystery from Gen-Z Media, posted the Season 1 finale on Sept 7th. It features the stories of kids with cancer, we've received great support from youth cancer advocates, and you’ll need 5 and a half hours to listen to these first 12 episodes
• Listen to the end of this audio file to hear trailers or episode snippets from these recently finale’d and complete 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 for The Deca Tapes, a dramatized scifi mystery tale from Lex Noteboom. I’ve featured this one before in an early issue of The End, so I’m bringing it back for all the new folks. It's like the best episode of the Twilight Zone, but for your ears. You'll be kept guessing all the way! Here’s the trailer. [trailer plays] The deca Tapes is a complete story. Take the 4 and a half hours to listen to all 8 episodes. You won’t be disappointed.
• ✈️😵‍💫🕧 • My second recommendation is Passenger List, a dramatized thriller from Passenger List & Radiotopia. Another early feature I feel deserves another run, because it’s such a great story! Even though "found footage" isn't normally my jam, this show uses it well. Here’s the trailer: [trailer plays] Passenger List is a complete story, with 16 episodes across 2 seasons, for just over 9 hours of thrilling entertainment.

Next Week

The latest issue of The End has 11 entries in the New Seasons Coming Soon section—11? Ok, this is getting crazy, but in a good way—and two of them start releasing episodes in just a few days:

• Season 2 of Mansfield Mysteries, a dramatized comedy mystery from The QuaranTeam Group, starts on Sept 15. Get caught up on Season 1 in 3 and a half hours. 🍸🔪🔎
• 
  
• Season 2 of Project Pulse, a dramatized cyberpunk from Eyes Shut Studio, also starts on Sept 15. Catch up with Season 1 before that in about 2 hours. ⚔️🎮♿️
• 
  
• Trailers or snippets for those two 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.
