The Audio Epics Podcast

The Hounds of Hübschdorf (formerly called 'Grauwald's Game') is an epic fantasy audiobook by Audio Epics that has been released on Halloween, since it has serious dark fantasy and grimdark vibes. This brand new Witch Hunter Tale is the direct prequel to Witch Hunter. ----more---- If you like a dark adventure story you'll probably enjoy this grim journey in the original fantasy setting of Hruda, inspired by everything we love: RPG settings like the Old World from Warhammer fantasy, eighties fantasy movies and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth (amongst others). This first episode is the beginning of a full length audiobook that will bring the epic fantasy adventure from the novel alive. You can find all episodes here on YouTube.   ABOUT THE STORY The Treasure of Boneyard Bay is our most ambitious project so far, featuring hours of dramatized audio with original music and a rich backdrop of sound effects. This immersive treasure adventure can be enjoyed by complete newcomers as well as loyal fans of the Witch Hunter series. The Treasure of Boneyard Bay is a thrilling, epic prequel to the Witch Hunter saga. The events in this treasure adventure take place right before Witch Hunter. It succeeds the events in The Treasure of Boneyard Bay and The Beast of the Western Wilds.   PLOT SUMMARY When three Witch Hunters fail to return from a routine investigation, Master Ludlov and Initiate Tolfmann find themselves in a small village near the woods. While investigating the strange disappearance of their Brethren, it becomes obvious the mayor is not so keen on their arrival, and the villagers seem to prefer the distraction of the Graunacht festivities to their nosing around. When their inquest reveals a dark mystery involving evil magic and undead, Ludlov faces the true cause of the threat in a place more disturbing than he could have imagined. WANT TO SUPPORT US?

Aliens are all around us, looking like regular humans, or like giant slimy insects, or very attractive blue women with weird appendages on their heads instead of hair. In any case, they're an interesting bunch and that's why we decided to devote a new episode of our storytelling podcast to them. We discuss everything from Mars Attacks to Alien and even Lilo & Stitch. Find out why aliens rarely have any hair (or not) and marvel as we delve into the depths of the galaxy... to boldly (and baldly) go where no one has gone before. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, In case you haven't heard yet, we're about to release a new Witch Hunter story and this is the trailer... including a release date at the end.

Coming soon from Audio Epics: a new Witch Hunter adventure! 

We love a good cliché from time to time, which is why we recorded this podcast while wearing sunglasses and walking away from a giant explosion. We made a big list of random clichés and tropes and talk about how they can be funny or charming, serve as efficient storytelling tools and sometimes also just annoy the crap out of us.

Here is our latest podcast episode in which we get all cozy and talk about Christmas and Christmas-themed movies, we answer some of your questions about Witch Hunter and The Will of the Woods and we just generally goof around.

Antonio Padula is a buddy of ours who is working on a morality-based tabletop RPG. We talked a good long while about moral choices in games, Aristotle, Tolkien, Warhammer 40K, Fallout and other good stuff.

This is our first ever interview for the Storytelling podcast! We had our buddy Peter over and talked about music scores, not just his own work but movie scores in general. We had a lot of fun recording this episode and we hope you will enjoy listening to it as well!

In this latest episode of the Storytelling Podcast, we go over different kinds of titles for books, movies etcetera and how one might go about picking one. Do you put in a "The" or not? Short titles or long titles? Mysterious, cryptic ones like "The Shadow of the Wind" or clear-cut in-your-face ones like "Snakes on a Plane"? We also have a section on bad titles, which is where things really got fun. Remember, you can join us on Patreon and get all kinds of awesome goodies, including the longer version of this episode, among lots of other, more exciting things. Check it out at www.patreon.com/audioepics!

In this special episode, we answer some of our listener questions from Patreon and YouTube. Find out what Hugh Jackman has to do with Ludlov, the difference between Flemish and Dutch, why we won't do a Mass Effect audio drama and why Eline thinks the Hemsworth brothers should replace Tom Cruise. 

What's in a name? It turns out, quite a bit, actually. Naming characters is a big part of storytelling, especially in fantasy. We answer all your questions in this episode, such as: does Frodo in Russian mean "bipolar Rowan Atkinson"? Who is Bilbo Stevens? And what kind of wisdom is on our tea labels?

We won't spoil the announcement in the description of course... You'll have to listen to find out.

In a world... where justice is outlawed... The just... must become... Outlaws! We once again sit down to discuss the things that truly matter in life, like the possibility of Frodo being played by Adam Sandler and Eline having synchronized menses with Suzanne Collins. The movie Avatar comes up a lot because it was the last one we watched before recording this. Our discord link: https://discord.gg/R8ahNGUq

We're back with another "Quarantine Questions" episode, in which we once again learn about some very important things, like that time when Eline was the only gnome contortionist in the world and Domien's idea for a heist movie starring a hedgehog with a superpower. 

The threat of the Hornfolk has always been a challenge for the people of Sevenpeaks and Ivennendale, but what do we really know about them? In this lore podcast, we take a look at the history of these enigmatic barbarians... If you enjoyed Witch Hunter and The Beast of the Western Wilds and you would like to find out more about the setting, then this is for you.

In this hard-hitting investigative documentary, we ask each other some tough questions and do our best to provide the wisest possible answers. Find out how we feel about flying golden retrievers, impersonating Stalin and L.A. in the rain. Have we inspired you to come up with your own silly questions? Feel free to let us know!

Instead of discussing a specific topic, we decided to have some fun this episode by asking each other questions about movies, games, books and the like. Find out whether Danny DeVito should play Ludlov in the movie version of Witch Hunter, discover Eline's slightly disturbing plans for a Middle-earth theme park and find out who would win in a fight between five Batmans and one Darth Vader. As for Jerry Goldsmith's score for the movie Legend, you can find it on YouTube and Spotify.

Sometimes a movie is just not good enough and you have to make it again. Sometimes a movie is so good, you want to make it again too. And sometimes you just want to make something completely different and give it the same title. ----more---- Mentioned in this episode: The Mist, King Kong, Ben-hur, The Time Machine, Abre Los Ojos / Vanilla Sky, (The) Loft, Bad Boys, Ringu / The Ring, The Grudge, The Office, 101 Dalmatians, Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King, Maleficent, Aladdin, Dumbo, Rosencrantz & Gildenstern Are Dead, Planet of the Apes, Jumanji, I Am Legend / The Omega Man, Batman Begins, Spiderman, Tomb Raider, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Jurassic World, James Bond, The Neverending Story, Dracula

Find out why Eline is afraid to read the third part of the Reckoners trilogy and why The Dark Knight wasn't dark enough for Domien (and Shrek 2 was a better sequel). ----more---- Mentioned: Aliens Terminator 2 Back To The Future Trilogy Dragon Age II Indiana Jones series Saw Rambo Nightmare on Elm Street Home Alone 2 Little Mermaid II The Lion King 2 Star Wars Shrek 2 The Hobbit Trilogy Planet of the Apes The Hunger Games Reckoners Batman Begins The Dark Knight The Beast of the Western Wilds Wolverine Smallville The Dark Crystal The Hobbit The Huntsman: Winter's War The Riftwar Cycle X-Men: First Class Angel Frasier The Lego Batman Movie The Stormlight Archive Puss In Boots Star Trek Spider-Man Warcraft Captain America People mentioned: Suzanne Collins Brandon Sanderson JJ Abrams George Lucas Katie Holmes Ian Holm Martin Freeman Hayden Christensen Raymond E.

There's no new storytelling podcast episode. Why not? Allow us to explain. We also answer some of your questions in this shorter episode.

What is originality? Why do storytellers pursue it? Was Avatar really just Pocahontas in Space? Was A.I. just Pinocchio in the future? Was The Shawshank Redemption really about Jesus? Can we go one episode without mentioning Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson or The Hunger Games? Why are there so many werebear romance novels? When will we stop asking questions? Find out in this completely original new episode, not based on anything and utterly copyrighted by us.

Fear is the mind-killer, but it's also an essential part of storytelling. So face your fears with us as we explore what haunts the darkest dreams of characters and audiences and why. We delve into a world of madness, trauma, anguish and terror. We also drink tea and talk about The Lion King.

If you've got someone by your side whom you can kick, then you've got a sidekick. Sounds like fun! So in this episode, Eline and Domien explore some of the famous sidekicks throughout storytelling history, what types of sidekicks there are and how they function in a plot. We talk about henchmen, volleyballs, passive-aggressive space aliens and there's some gushing over The Lord of the Rings. So sit back and enjoy the ride!

Rowling

Last week we discussed points of view of narration in novels. This week, we talk about point of view as it is used in video games and movies, where the camera takes on much the same role as the narrator in a book. We also talk about audio drama. Oh, and we almost get a divorce during this episode. By the way, if you don't play video games, you may want to skip to about 14 minutes into the podcast.    Mentioned in this episode: Doom Wolfenstein 3D Lara Croft Baldur's Gate Diablo Divinity Knights of the Old Republic Kingdoms of Amalur Fable Dragon Age Mass Effect The Witcher Fallout Skyrim Oblivion E.T. Steven Spielberg The New World The Strangers Amélie Poulain Mathilda The Fairy Tree The Owlfield Camera Panda

"I remember it like it was yesterday..." or "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away?" There are very different ways to tell a story and viewpoint is one of those technical things in writing that can have a huge impact even though the audience doesn't necessarily pay much attention to them. In this first part of our conversation, we explore the various viewpoints used in written fiction. Why use any one of these over the others? What makes them unique?   3rd person omniscient 3rd person limited 2nd person (choose your own adventure) 1st person reflective 1st person camera   Works mentioned in this episode: Narnia Harry Potter The Wheel of Time Dune The Stormlight Archive Moby Dick Dracula The Hunger Games The Da Vinci Code The Sixth Sense The Lovely Bones The Reckoners Trilogy The Love Tree How I Met Your Mother   People mentioned in this episode: C.S. Lewis Brandon Sanderson J.R.R. Tolkien Suzanne Collins J.K. Rowling Robert Jordan Frank Herbert Dan Brown Jos Vanderloo

Every medium has its own strengths and weaknesses to tell certain kinds of stories. In this episode, we discuss how adaptations into a different medium can work, how you could make a Tetris movie work and why Peter Jackson has to make the Witch Hunter movie. WARNING: there is an overabundance of The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit in this episode. Mentioned in this episode: The Lord of the Rings (a LOT) The Hobbit (also a LOT) The Lego Movie The Lego Batman Movie Dune Arrival The Name of the Rose The Chronicles of Narnia The Shining The Mist Star Wars Tomb Raider Silent Hill Warcraft Knights of the Old Republic Mass Effect Skyrim Diablo Tetris Batman Man of Steel War of the Worlds Harry Potter Pirates of the Caribbean

Frodo Baggins, Superman, Luke Skywalker... Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but what is the defining characteristic that binds them? In this episode, we get into that topic and also go on a bit of a tangent about Belgian comic book characters and how they are massively different from American ones. Listen to find out why Eline didn't like the ending to The Dark Knight and what Domien's favourite female fictional character is. Mentioned in this episode: Superman Batman The Hulk Spider-man Aquaman Wolverine Thor The Lord of the Rings (like in every episode) The Hobbit Star Wars Suske & Wiske Jommeke The Secret of N.I.M.H Hacksaw Ridge The X-Files The Will of the Woods Witch Hunter Avatar Dances With Wolves Hercules Achilles    

Since the ancient days, it has been foretold that we would do this episode. We talk about the role of prophecy and destiny in storytelling, which turns out to be huge. We also spoil the ending of almost every movie ever made. Get cozy with a nice cup of tea and an apocalyptic vision of impending doom and enjoy the Audio Epics Storytelling Podcast with Domien and Eline! Movies/shows/books/games mentioned in this episode: The Matrix Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Harry Potter Smallville Merlin Dune Maleficent The Smurfs The Terminator Doctor Who About Time Final Destination The Time Machine Minority Report King Kong Superman The Planet of the Apes The Passion of the Christ Titanic The Hunger Games

Last week we delved into a topic related to horror, so this week we decided to go in the completely opposite direction and explore comedy. Somehow, we still couldn't avoid talking quite a bit about horror, too. Eline admits that her favorite moment in comedy is a puking scene and Domien is shocked by all the vulgarity these days. Movies/shows/books/games mentioned in this episode: Music & Lyrics The Wedding Singer Team America: World Police Scary Movie Epic Movie Monkey Island Space Quest Divinity: Original Sin Goat Simulator Mr. Bean Blackadder In De Gloria Life Is Beautiful Monty Python The Room Wrong Turn The Hills Have Eyes Hostel The Strangers The Human Centipede Aliens The Lord of the Rings Red Dragon The Silence of the Lambs People mentioned: Hugh Grant Adam Sandler Drew Barrymore Louis de Funès Rowan Atkinson Wim Helsen Bill Bailey James Cameron

What is the terror that stalks the night in search of living blood? The answer is mosquitoes, but vampires can be pretty annoying too. In this episode, we talk about the various ways vampires have been used in books, movies and games, how the significance of this mythical creature changes over time, how storytellers have tried to find ways to keep the vampire archetype fresh, and why Dracula is still the number one vampire of them all! Mentioned in this episode: Dracula Interview with the Vampire Buffy: The Vampire Slayer Angel The Vampire Diaries Twilight Dracula Untold World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade The Silmarillion Nosferatu Underworld

We're the parents of a toddler and so we get to watch a lot of TV shows aimed at very young children and we noticed just how strange they are most of the time. In this episode, we try to unravel the hows and whys of talking trees, muddy puddles and medieval jesters who travel around the world in hot air balloons. Mentioned in this episode: Peppa Pig Woezel & Pip Bing Dinotrux Transformers Jokie & Jet Efteling Samson The Smurfs Bassie & Adriaan

We've played a lot of different roleplaying games and tried out various systems and settings, so of course we had to do an episode about them. We talk about the unique storytelling opportunities that this hobby presents, how it is a shared storytelling experience and how roleplaying games can help people improve their social skills.  Mentioned in this episode: Dungeons & Dragons (duh) Raymond E. Feist Dragonlance Weis & Hickman Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Dragon Age RPGLit RPG video games 13th Age World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade The One Ring Descent Star Wars Roleplaying Game  

A new episode! What, already? Yes, already! We talk a bit about the whole idea behind the Storytelling podcast, why we're doing this and what we have planned for the future.

We like video games, so we decided to have a chat about them. This medium differs quite a bit from others, so we had a lot to say about the unique qualities of this interactive form of storytelling.  Games series mentioned: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Fallout 4 The Witcher 3 Dark Souls Dragon Age II Dragon Age: Inquisition Mass Effect The Last of Us Myst Drakensang: The River of Time Dragon's Dogma Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Fable Divinity: Original Sin Monkey Island Space Quest Alan Wake Match 3 Quest

This is the first of our storytelling conversations. The idea is to have one every week from now on. We both like epic stories, but just how long and complicated does a story need to be to get that epic feel we love so much?  Mentioned or discussed in this episode: - The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien) - The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) - The Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis) - Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) - The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan) - Ancestry (Dayn Russell Leonardson) - The Stormlight Archive (Brandon Sanderson) - Reckoners (Brandon Sanderson) - The X-Files - Smallville
