About The Bad Articles

A supernatural comedy audio drama, following the chaotic and absurd investigations of the Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) as they attempt to stop otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. A narrative experience that weaves together improvised comedy, tabletop roleplaying and rich sound design.This is a silly and irreverent love-letter to collaborative story telling, Irish folklore and 90's nostalgia, with each Article being a standalone investigation into supernatural phenomena, typically split into 3-5 episodes.A narrative actual play utilising our custom-built TTPRG system that blends the ethereal magic of improv with the narrative satisfaction of dice rolls.Produced by Felbryn Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

S2E3 Death is Weird, and Grief is Hard

The Forever Wake (Part 3) Our agents begin investigating the wake of Mickey 'The Mackerel' Mulchrone. Wait, did I say that already? Hmmm. Maybe there is something supernatural going on, after all? They head to the basement, to find out more. And hopefully Dolan's stopped gaslighting an oul' man.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
