Pretty funny, with distinctive voices. Found the show by following bitter karella on social media

A midnight fire pit brings together authors modern and classic to retell their famous horror stories in a subversive comedic style amongst their likewise subversive peers. “Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Pals” has a cast and sound effects reminiscent of classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, but definitely the type of humor and self-awareness suitable for Adult Swim programs. It’s a mix of vintage and modern in more ways than one, featuring as it does authors from the 1800s such as Mary Shelley to present day Stephanie Meyers. Who may both be sitting around the same fire. As I got used to the mix, I began to appreciate the outlandish humor, which feels as though you are watching your favorite authors go streaking. Some episodes also go into a bit more depth and nuance for a good change of pace. Check out the show notes of each episode for additional trivia and references. Content warning: mature themes, suggestive and expletive language.

Great performances, lots of fun. You don’t need to be super online to get the humor. Despite the name it feels a little more like Muppet Babies/Wishbone for adults. Obscurer references are dotted in like Easter eggs but feel delightful, not alienating. More please!

As a huge Horror fan I absolutely love seeing these takes on some of the biggest names from my childhood intro to the genre. This show really is the most respectful piece of fan service for an 80s-90s kid out there. Grab some snacks, get spooked, have a laugh, and feel like a kid again. Butterfinger BBs and Surge sadly not included.

I love the way these iconic authors are brought to life and share their stories campfire style! From the concept up this show has so much imagination! The Tale of the Snow Woman episode is my fav! Looking forward to more!

Love the execution, and you'd be hard pressed to find a show occupying the same space. Engaging and fun program and I'd definitely recommend.

I can’t wait to listen to more!

This show is so funny and so well done. I don’t normally care for comedies but it had me howling every episode. Highly reccomend

I have been following Lesbian Death Bed on Mastodon for a while now and just learned that it’s a whole radio drama podcast. Amazing, lethally funny, for I am now dead.

This is the best podcast of all time

This series is so cleverly scripted and acted. I’m not usually a person who laughs out loud, but I have to listen to this in solitude, because I’m known for freaking out my wife with random bouts of loud laughter. It’s not just the jokes though. It’s all the subtext of the authors in the way they’re portrayed. The writers clearly have an excellent grasp on the source material and their original creators. (And I deeply approve of all the satire, and the abuse they heap on controversial individuals. Looking at you, HP Lovecraft.) Brilliant. Just epically brilliant. Special hats off to their season finale, in which Hailey Piper knocks it out of the park as She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

This really builds on the books and Twitter account and is a sheer diamond of twisted joy in my week.

It’s great to get these little audio plays of Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Pals. I enjoyed reading the threads on twitter & the podcasts are more of the same fun!
