This Makes Me So Damn Proud.

Well howdy, Traveler! Thanks for the kind words about our show and I couldn't agree more with your assessment of both Englewood AD and Hi Nay being impeccable!

STARTED THREE IMPECCABLE AUDIO DRAMAS TODAY!!

Hi Nay - The best supernatural procedural since The X-Files. Has me HOOKED! The lore, the characters, the amazing cultural influences. I just wanna get a knife and fork and eat it.

Dead West - WEIRD WEST, MY BELOVED! Amazing music, great writing, impeccable vibes that capture the appeal of both westerns and folk horrors. Can’t wait to listen to more.

Englewood After Dark - Amazing slice of academic horror. There was a scare in the first prequel short that genuinely gave me chills, and some truly vile twists and turns for the second. If the warm up shorts are this good, the rest is gonna kill me.

Why you should listen to Metropolis

Metropolis is a retro sci fi story in which most of the world is heavily impoverished following a war. Most, but not one city. Metropolis, a city in the clouds, is occupied by the world's richest and is utopic. The main character is a journalist whose best friend was invited to Metropolis to report on its excellence. But he starts digging too far and stops answering her letters, prompting her to go out and find him.

Why you should listen in no particular order:

FRIENDSHIP. HELLO I LOVE NAN AND STANLEY WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

Retro sci fi is SUCH a cool genre and not one I had really experienced before. The setting is in the 1920s, and for the Metropolites there are robots and force shields and machines that can send your telegraphs for you.

The tone. They strike a really good balance of humor along with the darker elements of the story.

Cathartic yelling

Allies with Animosity

I am going to follow this blog because I really like their insight into other audiodramas in the space. (/internally screaming "PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM ASKING FOR YOUR INSIGHT ON MY SHOW, I JUST LIKE THE WAY YOU USE WORDS AND I WANT TO SEE MORE OF IT ON MY FEED.)

I HAVE A GOD DAMN PLAN, to listen to this for the rest of the day! Honestly between this new beauty and the Port Sulphur Band record I am in hog heaven while I finish up some writing and planning for the next podcast episodes.

Show Update:

We have a family member undergoing open heart surgery this week so my household is doing a lot of planning and prep, physically and mentally. Due to this tomorrow's episode will be delayed until Tues, the 28th. Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you so much for your patience. For clarity, they are going to be on a 48-hour constant watch cycle afterwards and the reality of it is that this will come down to my partner and I alternating this time between us while also tending to the rest of our family, and my job. Cuz Capitalism don't stop.

Parts 0-3 are available now on all podcast platforms! If you find one where we are not there please let us know and we will give you credit in the next episode for helping us out!

The Ceaseless Grind

Working out some frustration in some design work today. I like this WIP alright enough, might try and find better elements to play with but it was at a point that I figured i'd share it. I normally just photobash or throw some elements I like into Affinity, do some blending work, color correct, and call it a day. Still trying to work on my own design work but drawing/conceptualizing images from nothing is a place in need of improvement on my end.
