"I wrote Third Eye as a love letter to many genres of entertainment—comedy, fantasy, myth, and legend. I was also fortunate enough to get amazing actors to perform in my project, including Wil Wheaton, Neil Gaiman, and more. Here are some of the titles that inspired my foray into creating for audio and/or embody a favorite genre in a standout way. I hope you discover something you love in this list." —Felicia Day, creator of Third Eye

"Mythology, particularly Greek and Roman mythology, is something I grew up passionately interested in. (There are some nods to that passion in Third Eye with Wil Wheaton’s character, Robigus.) This book and its sequels are addictively written and narrated by the good-at-everything Stephen Fry."
"I love the author Ann Leckie and actually read this book first, but had to listen to it a second time when I discovered that one of my favorite actors from Bridgerton narrates it. Adjoa Andoh has an INCREDIBLE voice and makes every scene in this sci-fi series so vivid."
"The subgenre of LitRPG is a recent obsession of mine. I read and/or listen to at least 2-3 a week. This series, in my opinion, is one of the the pinnacles of the genre—hilarious, profane, and filled with fantasy/gaming fun! A great entry point into a rich genre."
"What would you do if you fell into a dimensional portal behind a Burger King into a fantasy world and couldn’t get home? Start a podcast, of course! Four improv actors take this zany idea and make it addictively listenable. I’m a huge fan. (I guest on this podcast occasionally, too!)"
"The worst of history comes to life through Monty Python-esque songs and sketches. My six-year-old daughter actually discovered this series and became obsessed and then made ME obsessed. We are fans together! Just wonderful to listen to, and inspires a love of history in both of us."
