  • RQ Network Feed Drop – Remnants Ep. 1
    Jul 15 2024

    This month we are featuring a feed drop of one of many incredible podcasts on the RQ Network: Remnants.

    Remnants is a weekly, thrilling, dark fantasy, audio drama filled with mystery and has just launched on the RQ Network.

    When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place. Our fate is decided by Sir and his new Apprentice, who read our remnants to determine whether they should be re-shelved or discarded. But what are the criteria? What happens to discarded souls? How are new lives for the re-shelved determined? And why, after untold stretches of existence, has Sir decided that he needs help to do it?


    Remnants explores the boundaries between right and wrong, examining humanity from its brightest and best to its darkest and most frightening, and all the grey in between. The Apprentice soon discovers that when we judge others, we often expose truths about ourselves.


    Remnants is from Eira Major the same brilliant creator behind the Spirit Box Radio and Not Quite Dead.

    Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby. Listen to Remnants on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or listen wherever you get your podcasts, or to learn more about Remnants check out its official website.

    Written and Created by Eira Major

Depth rarely seen in other horror podcasts.

Amazing, intense, exhilarating. I stumbled into this from a clip on tiktok from episode 93, I am so happy to have found such an intriguing depth of story and horror. From the first episode completely pulling me in, to when the story starts to take on a life of its own. Truly fascinating and thrilling.

Great Podcast, audible sucks at it though

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.

I could be listening to Magnus Archives

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

Best ever

I have never in my life listened to a better written and executed podcast. It has an amazing plot and characters. I got so attached to each and every one of them. I’ve been recommending this to everyone I know. It is phenomenal!

one jarring note

This was a really great short story, until they wrote about female victims. no way would a woman go out drinking alone and the walk into an ally where someone hid in shadows n gestured-let alone more than men. they wouldn't have gone after a group either.

They can't keep doing this

Rusty Quill does it yet again, an amazing ride from start to finish.

The narration is immaculate, the atmosphere is oppressive, and the writing is simply top-notch.

Definitely on my repeat listening list!

Rapturing!

I got into this to bond with my niece, and stayed for the storytelling and suspense. The story is well thought out, the acting is great, and it’s actually impressively somewhat unpredictable (not entirely, but better than most). I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that as a 31-year-old who lives alone, I didn’t check my locks more than usual some nights while being unappreciative of my noisy house.

wait, what's going on?

this story sadly is one of the more distracting episodes. this one requires the listener to have their undivided attention I can't recall what just happened other than this person is dreaming of an alternate London or something.
since I drive a lot more these days I've been currently listening to these archives and some have grabbed my attention more than others some have given me a WTF what was going on?
the story is probably more for those who read dreams and stuff.

my only critique would be that if you're going to talk about something that's obscure having some audio cues or something to help fill in the imagination or something would probably help out more for those of us who are not strong

Life changing

This is single-handedly, one of the best podcast with storytelling that I’ve ever listen to.
When I say that, I’ve been fully satisfied with this podcast, I can’t even begin to tell you how satisfied and wonderful the storytelling and the characters are. It leaves you on just the edge at the very end, but you know exactly what happened.
