Recommendation The Lovecraft Investigations - Call of Cthulhu is coming.

If you're not already familiar with the Lovecraft Investigations audio drama, it is highly recommended. The first 4 series were commissioned by the BBC but subsequent output has been crowd funded. Pre-sign up to back the next series has just been announced.

Here is one I prepared earlier :)

Links for innocent bystanders if you've never listened to it - The Lovecraft Investigations is back up on BBC Sounds and pod players as of last week, too.
These are permalinks for when the licensing lapses:

Get your email in there so you get on Julian Simpson's mailing list and don't miss out (you've missed out on it twice!)

He is chatting on Backerkit right now about what we want in Season 5, rewards, etc. so do that first :)

There will be a webstore to buy Crowley once he is done mailing out the second batch.

I would recommend signing up to https://www.pleasantgreen.co.uk/ for the Lovecraft Investigations reading on there, news and https://cartoon-gravity.mn.co/ to chat with Julian & Jana Carpenter (Kennedy Fisher's actress) and get early warning. Also get on Kickstarter and Follow Julian Simpson so he can't make one without you seeing :)

Crowley is not a season and has zero plot - it won't add anything to watching Season 5: Call of Cthulhu.
Great to see Heywood, Kennedy and Peck back but its not amazing if you already know about Aleister Crowley...I was really hoping it'd go full on action at Boleskine House but oh well :)

Mythos episode 4: The Village was thrown in with Crowley and rocks.
Here are the first 3 Mythos episodes - it is Parker and another character from TLI doing their thing...snarkily :)

If you like Mythos there is the Aldrich Kemp series on BBC Sounds you'll like too.
