Search by Tags

This page lets you filter my database of all of the new fiction and audio drama podcasts by granular tags to a precise niche. This is very much a work in progress, with tagging of shows always improving. If you want to help, submit your show or update your tagging.

Because tagging is incomplete, you may wish to leave some options empty with initial searches, and then get more specific.

You can also search by Title.

Genre tags - these are additive, so if you pick "Horror" and "Comedy", you should only get horror comedies, rather than just horror. You don't need to select a value for all of them, and some shows don't have three tags, so feel free to start broad and get more narrow.
