Starting on the Terrahawks freebies I’ve accumulated with Deadly Departed and Renta-Hawks.
This is some odd stuff to say the least.

Masks of Nyarlathotep (part 1). The New York chapter ends with a showdown at the subterranean headquarters of The Bloody Tongue cultists. It's 1930's-esq cheesy, has ropey accents and some of the 'of it's time' phrases may offend...but I quite like it. High body count too.
Next up: London (and no doubt even ropier accents)

MR Listen Thur
195 Mistfall-200 The Secret History
(A strangely Lackluster run leading to and including the Bicentennial release in fact I guessed the overall plot just from Secret History's Cover thinking it surely wouldn't predicable as it was.)

Not me, but my lil boy. I put my headphones on him and he listened to the "Dark Shadows" theme tune.. "That's scary Daddy where's Doctor Who with the scarfe?"

Listened to a bunch today:
Dark Shadows: The Christmas Presence - a really fun Christmas episode with Toby Longworth in a very surprising role and a very welcome Nancy Barrett cameo
Doctor Who: The Reaping - one of Joseph Lidster's best audios period. It's such an emotional tale and the ending really sticks with you as it puts Peri in such a sad position.
Dark Shadows: The Rage Beneath - the weird conclusion to the first series of full casts. I like it a lot, but I don't think it works as well as it could have. The stuff with the ghost ship is perhaps the most interesting while Maggie Evans' subplot feels like something where Scott Alan Woodward just needed to include so she appeared.
Doctor Who: The Gathering - this one seems to be underrated quite a bit with a lot of people underestimating its power.
I, Davros: Innocence - I've never actually heard I, Davros, but this start to the miniseries is a great insight in the effect of two very different parents on the mind of a madman.

DW EA: The Forsaken.
I love the far east soundtrack and the setting of this one, and dont really have an issue with the Ben-meets-his-father thread of the story.
I dont like that the creature was given speech, I'd much rather they stayed with the sinister portrayal of the early parts as it claimed it's victims.
Enjoyable though, 7 out of 10.

MR Listen Thrugh
207 You are the Doctor & Other Stories-213 The 2 Masters
(An OK anthology with an intriguing hint at the end followed by possibly one of the strongest runs of Stories in the entire Range The start of a Renaissance for the 5th Doc and perhaps one the most Masterful uses of the Trilogy format ever.)

The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure 4 : The Brink of Death
A most ingenious solution to resolve this epic and tie up with what happened to Sixie on TV, treating Time as a mere playing field…
When the gloves are off, you never doubt this Doctor can defeat the most evil of enemies, even himself! Perhaps only Sixie would have had the nerve…
and his four last words to the Valeyard are a moment of genius that sets up his future self perfectly.
I have a fan-theory about Genesta, if you're interested... {Spoiler} I think she was the Valeyard, all the time, and he created 'her' (by whatever strange means he manipulates the Matrix) as the perfect trap for toying with the Sixth Doctor, by basing her on his/Sixie's memories of DI Menzies. Not an actual former Companion, that would have been too obvious, but someone this incarnation of the Doctor knew he could trust...

I don't think I have ever mentioned that 6 is my favorite Doctor. I'm not ashamed to say that I wept. The water started flowing when he said what I think are the Doctor's most powerful lines. "I'll die happy if the last words you ever hear are..mine!"

Been making up for certain poor choices in my youth by listening to a bunch of Enid Blyton audiobooks lately. Must admit I never really read much of her work when I was a child aside from knowing of the likes of Noddy by sheer cultural osmosis but I can see why she endures.
Yes, they’re very twee and exist in that same twilight version of ‘40s that never really existed but the sheer volume of her work and their accessibility is quite frankly staggering and to be admired.
