For more than 100 years, no one knew how Smithsonian scientist Robert Kennicott died.
He started as part of a rowdy band of scientists who lived in the Smithsonian Castle and named themselves the megatherium club after an extinct giant sloth. When their work was done for the day, they took to drinking, having sack races down the hallways and serenading the boss’s daughters.
To start the new season of our podcast Sidedoor, we trace Kennicott’s life and uncover the mystery of his death with our modern bone detectives.

Crooked Lane is an upcoming horror/supernatural fiction podcast. Each episode is presented as one or more entries in the audio journal of Newton Wallace, who’s recently moved back home to pursue a career in carpentry. Due to a sudden severe arm injury, however, he is unable to attend trade school until he’s fully healed, and so fills his time with recordings in an audio journal that, eventually, also become a way for him to log the otherworldly events that occur on Crooked Lane.
Will there be auditions?
For the inaugural season, no. For upcoming seasons, yes. As this is very much a shot in the dark passion project, the initial season will simply be recordings from Newt’s journal so as to minimize production hassle and keep everything as streamlined as possible. When the series does choose to introduce more characters, however, information about auditions will be made public as soon as it is available.
What is Crooked Lane influenced by?
First and foremost, the real life Crooked Lane in King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania. On a more serious note, podcasts such as Welcome To Night Vale, The Magnus Archives, and Archive 81 are all large influences, though it should be said that we are not attempting to directly copy any of them.
How can I contact you?
You can send us an ask on this blog (anonymous is turned on) or a DM, or you can get in contact with us through our Twitter (@crookedlanepod) or by shooting us an email ([email protected]).
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask them! Please share this around if it seems interesting! We’ll be tracking the tags #cl, #crookedpod, #crookedlane, and #crookedlanepodcast (and all variations of them)

Yknow that specific brand of villain miniboss that’s more engaging than the main villain, usually because of their quirky personality, good looks, and much cooler powers & weapons?
I’m a broke student. Well, I mean, former student. Left college to go to trade school, but of course I can’t do that now, because I just had to be an idiot and break my arm.
Did a very preliminary recording of Draft 1, and it ran about 11 minutes, which is way more than I expected. I’ll add another thousand or so words to Draft 2, see what happens. Really happy with my progress so far.
THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE PILOT EPISODE IS OFFICIALLY DONE! Two or three more drafts, and the pilot will be good to go! After that, only…18-24 more drafts to go before the Prologue is done. AAAAAAAAAAAAA
So, since my phone’s recorder app doesn’t seem to want to open without instantly crashing, I guess I’m using this. Miracle it even works anymore. Not my first choice, believe me, but it gets the job done in a pinch.
Hoping to finish up Draft 1 of the pilot episode today. If that seems like a lot of progress for less than a week, remember that I have to do at least two or three more drafts for this, and THEN multiple drafts of SIX more episodes after this before the seven episode prologue is ready to be recorded. Yeesh.

Do you like podcasts? Do you like Greek mythology, but wish they could have a little more women in them (and a good deal less misogyny)? Have you ever thought about a genre and thought, wow wouldn’t that be cool if it was 100% queerer, and in space?
I’ve got a podcast for you!
Khôra Podcast is a fiction podcast/audio drama about all the women in Greek mythology who deserved so, so much better. It’s also set in a dieslepunk galaxy far far away, where technology is magic, and most everything is controlled by the sometimes benevolent, sometimes totally evil Olympus Corp. Season one will follow some of the women from the tale of Jason and the golden fleece, as they try to return a missing fleece to Colchis. It’s got robots, it’s got sentient space ships, and most importantly, it’s All About The Ladies!
More info, like production updates, behind the scenes stuff, and an eventual release date, will be coming in the future! Follow this blog to stay updated!
