I'll Be Honest Guys, Life Without A Few Little Obsessions Just Isn't Worth It

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.

A brand new episode of Remnants!

'You have taken the job. That is why you are here.' The fIrst episode of Part Two of Remnant's debut season lends a fresH perspective on Sir, the Apprentice, and the First and Last Place they exist in. Is it enlightening? That really depends on your defInition of the word.

Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone's life story.

Remember this show is often TWFW (too weepy for work). Do check the content warnings if you're someone who often finds that helps.

I rely on your support to pay my bills. Making these shows is a delight and it's also a lot of hard work. Each episode of Remnants takes at least 35 hours to create. It's important to me that they remain accessible to as wide and audience as possible. You can help make all of this happen from £2pcm.

I feel called out.

a number of audio dramas have the og creator/writer cast themselves as a the most pathetic wet rag of a boy and I adore them for that

Well, howdy! I just wanted to take a moment to introduce my new podcast Dead West! It is a horror audio fiction series that blends folk horror and weird western themes in a re-imagined American Gilded age. A time when everything was stolen, blood was let, and society grappled with modernity.

Our show follows Conrad, a self proclaimed Sin Eater, as he travels around Western America and deals with the horrors of humanity and the things that stalk them in the dark.

This audio drama will be faithful adaptation of the true American West, including voices that were normally silenced due to the racists, sexist, and xenophobic nature of the American People. The Show features a full cast to guide you through this valley of death and sound design to let the monsters into your ears. Content warnings will be present in the show notes, where needed. Transcriptions coming soon.

Sometimes while I am writing for or editing an episode of the Dead West Podcast I get these images in my head and I have to get them out in some way or another. It normally comes out in some version of photo bashing or editing as I am still learning how to draw. This one is my edit of the American Gothic painting by Grant Wood. This came to mind as I was writing about the Davis Family in our first few episodes of the show.

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

An excerpt from HELLBOY IN HELL The Three Gold Whips Story and Art by Mike Mignola Colors by Dave Stewart. Character one (an elderly looking man), "It's an Endless Parade of Horrors." Hellboy in response, "Pretty Much."

"how do you have time to listen to all these podcasts" great question! i don't. and yet

Add an unhealthy level of Daddy issues. Pinch of potential romances at every corner. And ghosts, lots and lots of ghosts.
