oh episode 38.

ahaaa

coming this Wednesday (Tuesday for Patreon folks)

We're in the home strait for season three now. Expect changes in the status quo, rising stakes, and the Horrors. Some stuff is going to start making sense, in the worst way possible. I love this episode.

If you're not caught up yet there is a whole 37 episodes of Not Quite Dead already live, that's over 12 hours of gay vampire content for your ears, which you can listen to wherever you listen to podcasts by searching 'Not Quite Dead' and clicking the show which says 'a show about vampires' on the cover.

4. Is there a specific episode that was especially fun to work on?

the most fun episodes in SBR were always the ones with other performers, especially the ones which we managed to have the big rehearsals for. S2's 35 was a big one for that, and the S1 & S2 finales. Just good vibes, honestly!!

my favourite episode of Clockwork Bird to work on was the one where Shelly rescues the hamster. I loved writing all the bonkers conspiracy board stuf, that was so fun, and Daisy did a great job with the performance there, it was so fun to edit. I was also just properly getting into the rhythm of sound design by that stage too, it was a good time!

so far my favourite episode of NQD to work on was the opening of S3. I'm really proud of how it turned out and it's such a fun little idea. but I also had a lot of fun with episode 38 which I have to say my be my favourite of the season?? I know it's not good to have favourite children but I've loved every bit of this one, from concept to execution, I just hope everyone else likes it when it comes out!!

fun funeral facts

embalming, the process of chemically preserving a corpse, is typically not required by law. unless you need to transport the body long-distance or postpone the burial, it’s 100% a vanity thing.

a body still rots in air-tight conditions. so “protective” or “sealed” caskets are basically a scam, and anything fancy like metal is a waste of money.

want a beautiful casket for a viewing, but think burning or burying an expensive piece of hardwood is a waste of money and trees? rentals exist.

you don’t need a coffin for cremation. the minimum requirement is that the body be in a “cremation container,” which is a simple cardboard box.

home funerals are an option. you don’t need to hand the body over to a funeral home, and you can keep their involvement to a minimum.

natural burial sites exist. you can have your unembalmed body straight up thrown in the dirt to be tree food, if you want.

there are a lot of funeral homes that will prey on your ignorance and vulnerability in order to get as much money out of you as possible. they may imply optional certain services are legally mandatory, steer you away from cheaper options, charge additional costs for what’s supposed to be all-inclusive services, etc.

one person’s death is another person’s profit. know your rights, do your research, and apply the same scrutiny you would to any other business.

Strange, the way it felt like home–to wander through the dark, alone.

pro-crunch taking a STRONG early lead here

i should have anticipated this from the audience of this particular show, i'm so proud of you

there is a scene in XXXIX which is... uhhhh.

it's not a sexy scene, and it's kind of real-time gross. grosser in real time than XXIX, potentially the, uh, most 'ewwwww' real time moment in any thing i've made to this point. to the extent that i've been on the fence about whether i ought to scrap and rewrite that whole section as something told after the fact because it's a bit too. um. **crunchy**.

anyway. that being said, i'll be making this call based entirely on my own vibes wrt to this scene but i'm still curious as to what people think.

Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com

Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

The song (labled as Mouth full of blood in the transcripts) at the end of SBR 1.21 gas burroed into my brain but i cant find it anywhere!

I even tried looking for maybe Wednesday's socials but they all look dead...

Is it unreleased or am i just missing something?

Maybe Wednesday hasn't reallly been an active thing independent of the shows I make since pre-pandemic. Like everything else in my shows, it's a project that I'm responsible for and this track is not currently available anywhere. I may release it at some point in the future!

#eira speaks #maybe wednesday #it is kind of funny how at some points it's like 'oh maybe there's someone else behind the scenes' but no #there are four people who have guest written listener letters otherwise it's just me #lmao #anyway i have a complicated relationship with this song #it wasn't made for sbr specifically but i liked it for the place in the story so i used it there #but idk i'm not very happy with it and i just do not sound like that anymore so i couldn't re-record it #and i hate listening to how i sound on it so working on it is a no-go for now
