Scoring Magic follows creators at Hug House Productions as they create fiction podcasts.

This show, hosted by the three endearing founders of Hug House Productions, is a step-by-step deep dive into the making of the audio drama Valence. The hosts are open and honest about their process (even when they make a misstep) and show how much thought has gone into the show. They also clearly love what they do and have many a laugh along the way. This show is a must listen for aspiring audio fiction creators, people curious about what goes into the work they consume, and fans of Valence.
Absolutely love how in detail they go into the creation of the podcast. It makes me appreciate Valence so much more.
I love knowing how creative people do what they do, especially when it’s tied to specific creative work. This show has so many practical tips, so much honesty, and so much generosity. The hosts talk about specific aspects of creating a new Audio Drama from scratch, and present the lessons they’ve learned along the way as advice to other creators. It’s all super inspiring and often very moving. What a gift.
This podcast is so inspiring. I love how it captures the steps to making an audio drama, from the unexpected lows to the surprising highs. There is so much heart in this show. You can see the love and care that Hug House puts into VALENCE (the audio drama they're making), and when you've caught up on Scoring Magic you can go listen to it! I already make multiple audio dramas, but listing to Scoring Magic makes me want to start another one, every time.
Everyone I know who listens to podcasts regularly dreams of one day creating their own, and that seems doubly true for the audio drama crowd. This show has a relaxed but informative tone that documents the process of putting together an audio drama from the beginning.
Scoring Magic follows the creation of the audio drama podcast Valence as the team works to get that show out into the world, so it will be a real-world workshop where you'll get to hear the end product being discussed. The hosts k... more
If you're an audiodrama fan, then you already know the podcast critic and genuinely awesome person Wil Williams. Wil is beginning a new venture with a team to make her own audiodrama called Valence. Scoring Magic is her other podcast that will cover every step of the way in making Valence, from beginning idea and concept in Episode 1 to the finished product many episodes from now. This will no doubt become a very important resource for anyone looking to make their own podcast and the wonderful t... more
This podcast looks (er, sounds) like it’s going to be amazing. The pilot episode alone has me invested in not only this show, but the accompanying audio drama, to a degree I quite honestly wasn’t expecting. I’m definitely going to be tuning in to both shows the moment more episodes are released.
Not only is this show already an engrossing documentary that helps one understand what it feels like to create, it also seems like it’s going to be an extremely helpful resource for any interested podc... more
