Why you should listen to Tell No Tales: a completely unbiased presentation. The Tell No Tales cover art is in the center. There is a ghost dabbing in the bottom left corner, and another wearing headphones. Text to the side says 'I definitely should have been recording instead of making this'

Do you like: Ghosts, Gay people, Crying? Do you hare: Capitalsim, Being mean to ghosts? Then you might like crying over gay ghosts while taking down mean capitalists! There's an image of a cute ghost and a business man with a cross over him.

You want some plot?
- there’s a ghost-removal company called better place (get it?) but it’s actually kinda a really bad place.
- Leo quinn builds a ghost-recorder so they can gather statements to bring better place down.
- chaos ensues.

Multicoloured text at various angles reads: ghost of the week format, the real enemy is capitalism, some of the ghosts are a bit spooky but it's not a horror podcast sorry. Sometimes it's about heart-wrenching grief, sometimes it's just gay idiots, sometimes it's both!

if you listen, you’re actually helping to take down capitalism. - It’s produced by wasting company time productions (because i made most of season one on company time)
- season one is about eight hours so if you time it right you can waste an entire shift’s worth of company time

There is an image of a stick-figure in a tie throwing a clock in a bin

Meet the characters! (actor portrayal)

Leo Quinn (image of Beaker from the muppets)
Riley Matkins (image of Gonzo)

A meme that says 'meet my last 2 braincells. Radical kindness & Absolute tomfoolery'

strikethrough text at the bottom that reads 'they've got a little trauma. I'm sure they're processing it just fine.

Riley Matkins (they/them)
An image of a person with an undercut and a ponytail holding a case file, labelled 'temperance.'
- will follow their friends to the ends of the earth but will swear about it the entire time
- no seriously, every episode with riley in needs an explicit tag
- like, scary good at research
- acts as the voice of reason, if only anyone would ever listen to them

A meme that says 'please give a bitch a break. i work very hard. i'm trying my best. i'm so tired all the goddamn time.'

- needs to be the hottest girl at the corporate takedown
- Do you want to hear about her Phd? She’ll tell you anyway

- questionable morals but in like, a very much not cool way
- i’m so serious, the elias bouchard girlies will like this one

A meme that says 'I want to be mysterious so bad but I just cannot shut the fuck up.'

We've got plot secrets!

A whole block of redacted text. legible snippets read: 'so then they.... which is wild because... cuck... so obviously they... just, like, a whole bunch of goo... risotto?... a bit gay... so that's exciting, right?

Testimonials.

For fans of:

Lockwood and co - I’ll be honest i’ve never actually seen or read this but i’ve been reliably informed it’s tell no tales core.

The Magnus Archives - Ok look i know everyone says this but hear me out: Similar format, Leo is just martin blackwood in a trenchcoat, i cannot stress enough how much frank is for the elias girlies.

BBC Ghosts - I’m actually so serious about this one. sometimes the real found family is the ghosts we met on the way.

Casper the friendly ghost - I'm only half joking

We've got a network!
- We’re part of twin strangers productions now
- which means we’re objectively really cool
- because twin strangers productions is objectively really cool

I recommend all of these, especially Tell No Tales, and Malevolent. Tell No Tales is awesome and underrated, and while Malevolent is more known it's the best audio drama I ever had the pleasure/pain of listening to

I desperately need something to occupy my mind, while doing menial tasks 3:
