Rusty Quill Podcasts

Hosted by Rusty Quill Podcasts

A network feed from a London-based production house specializing in full-cast speculative fiction and horror audio dramas.

The brief

This is the official YouTube feed for the Rusty Quill podcast network, acting as a launchpad and central hub for their diverse portfolio of audio dramas. Rather than a single show, it's an anthology-style channel that serializes multiple distinct series simultaneously. Recent programming includes "Neon Inkwell," a banner for new sci-fi shows like the post-apocalyptic VR story "Rez High," and "Rusty Fears," a horror short story anthology.

Unlike a typical single-podcast feed, this channel functions as a curated network showcase. Its primary distinction is hosting multiple, separate, high-quality productions under one banner, allowing listeners to discover a variety of new shows from a trusted source.
