  • RQ Network Feed Drop – “Burned by a Paper Sun” – Ep. 1
    Dec 17 2025

    Today we are sharing an episode from a brand new podcast launched on the RQ Network, Burned by a Paper Sun.


    Burned by a Paper Sun is a brand new, chilling, horror anthology podcast from the same brilliant creators of The Gentleman From Hell, Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle.


    In Burned by a Paper Sun, shadows come in a thousand shapes—some drawn long beneath a dying sky, others drifting and lost beneath a wandering cloud. Yet one certainty has always remained: every shadow must have a caster. But what if that isn’t true? What if darkness could stand on its own?


    In this first episode William is a rational man, but even rational men are left broken by the Great Darkness of 1999. Despite his sceptical outlook, he is haunted by dreams of the most horrible and macabre variety. Most of all, he is terrorised by a single harrowing figure - the Elevator Man.


    Introduction and outro by Billie Hindle

Featured Article: The Best Audio Drama Podcasts Streaming Right Now


Audio dramas date back decades, to a time when every home had a radio and life revolved around that programming—from news to talk shows to entertainment in the form of audio dramas. Though their popularity waned with the rise of television and the internet, audio dramas are getting new life thanks to the popularity and prevalence of podcasts. If you love episodic stories and audio storytelling, then you need these audio drama podcasts in your life.

I’ve been listening to audiobooks/podcasts every day for six years while at work and on drives (9+ hours a day) and I’ve never relistened to something as much as this
the writing, ambience, and performance are some of the best I’ve herd

I could be listening to Magnus Archives

I’m 20 episodes in and enjoy the stories and readings immensely. The recording quality is wanting.

The recording is low and whispery at times, so if there is anything going on around you, you may miss parts of the story. This is a frustration that you may not experience, but I listen when I’m out and about working.

The stories are worth it and the narrator does an excellent job setting the mood. I suggest this podcast to anyone who loves a creepy tale. Have a good set of noise canceling headphones, though.

Exceptional stories, okay recordings

Listening will add to the list of your worst nightmares. LGBTQ+ inclusive with diverse casting

Something for Everyone

Creepy but in an unnerving way rather than just ✨scary✨ which is my sorta vibe 🥰

Absolutely love this series

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

Okay so first things first:

This podcast is incredible. The Magnus Archives is a horror fiction podcast of unparalleled story, narration, ambience, and just all around tremendously well done. The characters are incredible, the plot is sublime, and the voice acting is too notch in all but 1 or 2 places where it's just slightly (and I mean very very slightly) hammy. Overall this podcast is one of my favorite fiction stories that there are.

HOWEVER:

Audible is a bad platform to listen to it on. Audible has an appalling habit of treating podcasts as constant livestreams, where "next" episode means "latest" episode, and so trying to listen to this series in order means you will have to manually select each new episode yourself, or risk being sent to the very last episode that there is when each episode ends.

You will also have to deal with your Audible App freezing and glitching out when you try and swap from a podcast episode to an actual audiobook, or vice vursa, because Audible treats them differently. If you try and swap back and forth, the app with slow down so much and eventually freeze altogether, and the only way I have found to fix the issue is to turn your phone to Airplane Mode just to stop it from dropping into a permanent loading lock.

Downloading each canonical episode seems to help a little, but even then: if you want to have a playlist of Magnus Archives episodes in order, you'll have to play around with turning airplane mode on and off to "reset" your audible apps loading. This app is a terrible way to listen to them, don't do it unless you are willing to open your phone every 20-30 minutes to manually select the next episode, because:

YOUR PHONE WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO THE NEXT EPISODE, EVER, AT ALL, IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, AT ALL, EVER, when using audible.

Now, all that being said, this podcast is still absolutely a 10 out of 10 podcast if you love horror, fiction, complete stories, or just good writing and voice acting in general.

Great Podcast, audible sucks at it though
