RQ Network Feed Drop – Hi Nay: Ep 1 – Bulok

Released on 03/16/2026

We are featuring a feed drop from a brilliant show on the RQ Network: Hi Nay.


"Hi Nay” is an atmospheric, analog-style horror audio drama, featuring Folk Horror, mythology and chilling supernatural terrors in an urban setting.


Hi Nay, literally translated to “Hi Mom”, follows Mari, a Filipina immigrant who lives in Toronto.

Mari first gets roped into Toronto’s supernatural crises after saving Laura from being killed. From then on, she assists Detectives Donner and Murphy in dealing with supernatural threats using her upbringing as a babaylan (Shaman).

  

Mari finds herself dealing with a multitude of supernatural issues in Toronto. She has a great aptitude for magic, though her abilities seem to have a price she’s not forthcoming about. She calls her Nanay (mother) often and recounts her experiences over the phone. 


This exciting audio drama is filled with Mystery, Suspense, and most importantly, Horror.


Introduction and outro by Shahan Hamza. Listen to Hi Nay on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Hi Nay on its official website.

RQ Network Feed Drop – “Burned by a Paper Sun” – Ep. 1 - The Magnus Archives

RQ Network Feed Drop – “Burned by a Paper Sun” – Ep. 1

Released on 12/17/2025

Today we are sharing an episode from a brand new podcast launched on the RQ Network, Burned by a Paper Sun.


Burned by a Paper Sun is a brand new, chilling, horror anthology podcast from the same brilliant creators of The Gentleman From Hell, Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle. 


In Burned by a Paper Sun, shadows come in a thousand shapes—some drawn long beneath a dying sky, others drifting and lost beneath a wandering cloud. Yet one certainty has always remained: every shadow must have a caster. But what if that isn’t true? What if darkness could stand on its own? 


In this first episode William is a rational man, but even rational men are left broken by the Great Darkness of 1999. Despite his sceptical outlook, he is haunted by dreams of the most horrible and macabre variety. Most of all, he is terrorised by a single harrowing figure - the Elevator Man.


Introduction and outro by Billie Hindle

RQ Network Feed Drop – Remnants Ep. 1- - The Magnus Archives

RQ Network Feed Drop – Remnants Ep. 1-

Released on 12/10/2025

This month we are featuring a feed drop of one of many incredible podcasts on the RQ Network: Remnants, which is currently releasing its second season.  

 

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.
