While spoiler tags have been used to hide any of the details pertaining to any major or recent twists in the series, trope names have been left unmarked as well as early season spoilers. You Have Been Warned.The Hidden People is an audio drama podcast created by Dayton Writers Movement, centered around the adventures and trials of Mackenna Thorne, a twenty-seven year old who's felt uncomfortable in her own skin her whole life, and has spent her adult years living an emotionally walled-off, repetitive life in her hometown of Conley, Indiana. Then her parents are killed: her father by a pack of giant black dogs, and her mother by a killer with a giant polearm that eludes the police. As her family and friends try to cope with what happened, and Mackenna tries to feel like a person, a series of increasingly odd events leads Mackenna and her circle of people to realize that their entire world is very different and much more bizarre than what they believed it to be.The first season premiered in February 2019, running for 22 episodes and concluding in December of that year. The second season premiered in May 2020 and concluded in May 2021. The third season premiered in October of 2021 and is slated to run through 2022.

Retired Badass: Black Annis of the past was the matriarch of a great fey witch's coven, who rained destruction and slew powerful beings in the time of the oldest known human civilizations. Black Annis of the present has been reduced to a forgetful and decrepit hag hiding out in an English bower.

Genre Shift
 The Hidden People (Podcast) / int_177a6464
comment
All three episodes of the mid-season finale are individual wham episodes that culminate in a complete Genre Shift. First, everyone investigating the Thornes' death get direct confirmation that Mackenna Thorne is the killer. Then, Mack has to flee after a SWAT team raids her home. Then, she encounters the black dogs and... herself, and the events during and immediately after that encounter cement the change from murder mystery to urban fantasy.

Unreliable Narrator: Averted for the most part. The Storyteller is very detailed in giving out several details of Mackenna and the gang's adventures, even outing Niamh's prior awareness of Mackenna as a halfling. Only two details were changed- that "The Sunstone" is really The Eye of Wodan, and that they stole the Sunstone *last week* instead of just the other day.

Ancient Evil: More than a few characters in this show fall into this category. The Magister and Liliana are the most prominent, feared, and immediately dangerous of them in the first season, but Black Annis is even older, and the Highland Vough's age is unknown but it predates The Magister's rule over The Hidden People.

The Stoic: Mackenna Thorne, full stop. She's not a full-on Emotionless Girl, she feels shock and anger even if the emotions are muted, and while she does love her family, especially Thomas, her way of showing it is walled off at best. Following learning that she's a changeling, her personality starts getting more vibrant and she acts on her emotions more often.

Invasion of the Baby Snatchers: Every facet of The Hidden People's society is this. The Unseelie Court at its core is a giant human trafficking operation, kidnapping dozens of babies a year, using them as slaves, emotionally abusing them, and finally gaslighting some into hating and killing their birth family and the changeling that replaced them for the Hidden's amusement.

comment
Beware the Silly Ones: Robin Goodfellow is a goofy, playful, banter-loving fairy and willing to make deals with humans in exchange for magical potions. He's also an Old One, which puts him in the same category of power as Black Annis, and he's so psychotic that all it takes is something small to set him off.

The Cuckoolander Was Right: Every last one of Alfie's claims, including that Mackenna would be on the run from the law, that the villain was a horrific stalker with a personal link to the Thornes, and that Mack herself was the killer all turn out to be true. His first guess that Mack and Shaylee teleported away after witnessing Mack and Fack's first confrontation also turned out to be true, and he was the quickest out of all the supporting cast to unflinchingly believe in the magical world.

Wham Episode
 The Hidden People (Podcast) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: A couple throughout season one. All three episodes of the mid-season finale are individual wham episodes that culminate in a complete Genre Shift. First, everyone investigating the Thornes' death get direct confirmation that Mackenna Thorne is the killer. Then, Mack has to flee after a SWAT team raids her home. Then, she encounters the black dogs and... herself, and the events during and immediately after that encounter cement the change from murder mystery to urban fantasy. The final two episodes of the season also count. Shaylee and Dane are killed by Fack and The Magister, Mack makes a deal with The Magister for Shaylee's resurrection by pretending to take Liliana hostage, the Hidden People's Revel is sabotaged for the first time in history, Mackenna learns she's actually a halfling and Liliana's daughter, Liliana kills herself to bestow power to Mackenna and Mackenna kills The Magister with help of the bell tower in the center of town. Lastly, Mackenna, Nissa and Alfie were all in the collapsing building after The Magister's corpse explodes, leaving the first season on a dramatic cliffhanger.

Took a Level in Badass: Like the Deadpan Snarker trope above, it's harder to name a member of the main characters' inner circle that didn't take a level in badass. Shaylee's was in the past after a year of training in Arcadia, Mackenna had a few but most notably when she inherited the powers of Liliana, and all the human allies are more than eager to risk their lives to help Mackenna and help her prevent an unnecessary death.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 The Hidden People (Podcast) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A variation on this is always somewhere in the forefront of the series, and it's split on who suffers more. On the one hand changelings are definitely not human, and usually get little or no affection from their parents before losing them in a reclamation but otherwise can live out pretty normal lives, while human fetches are 100% human but have been raised in bondage in Arcadia for so long they have no concept of human society and would have an incredibly hard time adjusting to a normal life. In this regard neither are truly human and neither are really in the wrong.

Half-Human Hybrid: Forbidden by the Unseelie Court and the Magister. The last time the Hidden were allowed to have children with humans, the halflings with human morals banded into the Seelie Court out of shame and outrage at what the pure-blooded Hidden were doing. The only known halfling is Dane, who's one-sixteenth Hidden and has absolutely no magical ability. Eventually averted, big time. Mackenna Thorne's heightened powers are revealed to be the result of being the halfling daughter of Lady Liliana. The Magister does... not take this news well.

To Be Lawful or Good: The dilemma that both Sam and Ron face after the midseason that lead them to conflict with each other. Sam realizes that the Mackenna that she's hunting and the Mackenna who killed the Thornes are two separate people, and continuing with by-the-book procedure will lead to a false arrest. Ron, who knows nothing about it, sees it as Sam falling for Thomas, and willing to sabotage the investigation and let a violent murderer escape which goes against his nature. Sam is the more correct one, as she has more vital information to make her decision, but neither are seen as in the wrong.

Tragic Villain: More than a few examples; as the Storyteller puts it, there are good people forced to do bad things and monsters who are sometimes right. Fack and all fetches like her who are driven to reclaim are this from abuse by the Unseelie Court. Shaylee and other changelings chosen as trainers by The Magister are bound to continue their work, even if they can't stand it. Liliana's history isn't really delved into, but the compassion she shows for Mackenna, her disdain for The Magister, and her willingness to sacrifice herself to save her daughter speak volumes about what kind of inkling of goodness she may have had in her.

Jedi Mind Trick: A lot of Hidden Magic takes this effect. Its effects include everything from making mundanes unable to find entrances to Arcadia, to making people completely unable to do or say things. The most common practitioner of this ability is The Magister, being the grand lawmaker of the Hidden People and all.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Anyone who's near the top of the Hidden food chain is this by default. This is enforced by power being descended by lineage, with children attempting to murder their parents to inherit their position and influence. Special cases at the top of the food chain include: Wodan, a long-dead literal God of Evil who led the Hidden People to slaughter entire civilizations; The Magister, the Physical God king of the Hidden People whose word is divine law and who personally killed Wodan to be the uncontested ruler; and Lady Liliana, whose powers include complete invisibility and even interfering with the powers of other Hidden, and who said she was capable of bending nature to her will.
