Leftovers at the End of the World is a post-apocalyptic audio drama built from errands, broadcasts, and stories told in the uneasy space between daylight and whatever comes after it. Arizona is coastal now. Boats, lighthouses, towers, docks, and flooded landmarks form the practical map, while old gods, strange weather, and half-understood creatures form the one everyone is afraid to name too loudly. Anak’s work as a courier gives the series its shape. Deliveries and chance encounters turn into long conversations, and those conversations keep opening trapdoors into grief, romance, body horror, childhood, survival, and things the world has decided to treat as normal. The show has a dry sense of timing. A forecast can warn about green clouds and screaming things, then make room for a ridiculous song title or a small complaint about the radio. That casualness is part of the unease. Nobody talks like they are introducing lore; they talk like they are trying to get through the day with enough supplies, luck, and nerve to make it indoors by sunset. Recent episodes show the range clearly. A corpse finder follows a sick, tugging sensation to bodies under dark water. A first date turns sweet while hunters, predators, and tower safety lurk nearby. A childhood friendship with Francisco becomes a story about secrecy, protection, and the limits of what frightened adults might understand. A maker of limbs remembers joy, crushes, second marriages, and the moment a patient first flexes new fingers. Elsewhere, a storm becomes a drowning memory, a voice is stolen by a lightning-shaped double, and Gurgle’s strange phone suggests a wider world beneath the surface. The horror can be grotesque, but the show is not only grim. It keeps finding small human signals: warm hands, saved radio pieces, stocked towers, private jokes, a name offered before violence, a parent refusing to let a child vanish alone. Its apocalypse is crowded with danger, but also with manners, gossip, tenderness, and stubborn routines. That mix gives the series its bite.
Made for: For fiction listeners who like intimate survival horror, conversational audio drama, and strange worldbuilding revealed through character stories rather than exposition.
What sets it apart: It treats cosmic apocalypse as daily life, letting radio segments, courier work, and passenger memories expose the setting one practical detail at a time.
Leftovers at the End of the World is a cosmic horror, slice-of-life audio drama podcast set in the post-apocalyptic, now coastal state of Arizona. The story follows Anak, a Filipino American courier as they go about their everyday life on their houseboat, The Bahay, while occasionally picking up passengers who share their life stories.
