Approx length: 40 eps across 2 seasons so far, each 2~ hours long (except for the two season finales which are 4½ and almost 5 hours respectively)
Where to find it: On YouTube, the Official Site or wherever you listen to podcasts.
What is it, in summary?: A mysterious lost expedition sets in motion an epic globe spanning adventure as investigators come face to face with ancient evils beyond the scope of human comprehension.
It's a playthrough of Masks of Nyarlathotep for the 7th Ed. Call of Cthulhu RPG in which four investigators (a young WWI vet from a rich family, a post impressionism artist, a student of cryptography from Miskatonic University, and a conman who married a rich old woman for her inheritance) get dragged into a world ending conspiracy filled with madmen, cultists, eldritch horrors, and make both friends and enemies (but mostly enemies) along the way.
What do you love about it?: I absolutely love the energy the cast brings into it, the combination of absurd hilarity and heart wrenching poignant moments between the characters, and the delectable Lovecraftian horror that permeates the entire show.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Anything, really, I just want more content! I started the fandom tag back in April and have written 5 works for it so far, so if I managed to drag even one more person into it my year would be made XD I'm very interested in missing moments, more interactions between the characters (gen or shippy), and/or just more horror-laden situations for them to find themselves in!
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: I think you can listen to only Season 1 and get a pretty good grasp of things, but I must say there is some delightful character growth on Season 2 that would be a massive shame to miss out on.
Content warnings: This is a horror story so expect graphic depictions of violence, death, gore, body horror, mental delusions, grief, etc. It's also set in the 1920s and, though they don't really play it entirely straight, there are some brief mentions of era-typical racism & misogyny.
