Happy Friday! With just one episode left of our series, we wanted to share some highlights with you all. First up are these lovely BTS videos for you of recording. The first one is the powerhouse that is Robyn throwing everything they have into chopping wood. You can feeeeeeeel the strength in their performance.

Video description under the cut!

[Video description: A video of Robyn Holdaway in a carpeted room in front of a poster for the documentary film Sisters with Transistors. Robyn is a slender, androgynous white person wearing a printed t-shirt and khaki trousers. Behind them, Ella is sitting wearing headphones with her laptop in her lap. Ella is a white woman wearing a bright pastel jumper and rainbow socks. She's giggling. Robyn says, while rolling up their sleeves: "Let's, let's get into it. For the, for the 'gram. This is me with far less gym in me, for the...alright, we'll get there." Robyn then clears their throat, mimes picking up a piece of wood and chopping it, making effort sounds. They proceed to perform a take of the wood-chopping scene from episode 8 of Camlann.]

For AAPI Month check out:

Hi Nay, a horror audio drama that follows Mari, a Filipina immigrant fighting supernatural threats in Toronto, using lived experience from growing up with a babaylan (shaman) mother.

"Hi Nay" is how she greets her mom (Nanay) over the phone.

Season 1 follows Mari's mission to stop the Elders, a group of early 1900s rich immortal occultists, from terrorizing innocent people with cursed objects called Foci — especially their mysterious leader, The Benefactor, who is so powerful that nobody remembers his face or name.

She's joined by two supernatural detectives Donner and Murphy, her 6'2 strong-armed lesbian neighbor Laura, and Ashvin, a celebrity conman guru with real magic powers.

Relationships are tested as the supernatural threats grow ever more dangerous - both external, and internal.

If you like queer BIPOC horror, romance, strong core relationships helping a found family face down relentless despair, randomly scattered Filipino-isms, by a Filipina creator with a small indie team - packaged in a Magnus Archives-inspired analog horror sound:

Give Hi Nay a listen! We're on Acast, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube, and wherever you listen to podcasts!

Delighted and honored to see Hampton Fawx AND James Stallion representing on Baker Street Regulars’ Sherlock Drag Race episode!

Baker Street Regulars takes a queer magnifying glass to adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes stories from the Victorian era to the modern day—we loved the show and had a blast coming on to chat about Fawx & Stallion and BBC Sherlock! They’ve discussed some of our favorite adaptations, some we’ve never seen, some we’ve always been curious about, and even interviewed some of our friends and colleagues in the field—shoutout to their interview with the playwright behind Miss Holmes, which starred our very own Katie McLean Hainsworth (Madge Stallion) as Sherlock Holmes!

Question that I don't want to ask twitter bc I know I'll get a hundred very well-meaning links that aren't what I'm looking for:

Is there an audio drama space/server that's just for producers?

All my love to directors/writers/VAs, but none of those are really my thing. I don't have anything to contribute to conversations, and whilst I do love reading about other people's specialties I can do that pretty much anywhere.

I know some bigger discords have one or two channels dedicated to producing; I'm looking for something a little more focused. I'm thinking like channels for marketing, scheduling, press, brief-writing, casting, stuff like that.

I'm loath to make one, especially given how resistant the space generally seems to be to marketing, so if it's already out there I'd love to know about it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TELL NO TALES!!!!

TNT S1 E1 - Not For Long came out on 2nd May 2022, which means Tell No Tales turns two today!

(and if we're being honest, TNT being in the terrible twos explains a lot about how emotionally fraught it's been recently)

Going ahead with this show is the best decision I've ever made, and it changed my life for the better. I'm so incredibly grateful for this community for welcoming me in 💜

I got a little nostalgic and found an old voice note (from almost three years ago!) that's posted under the cut. I sent this to Michaela (one of our ghostie VAs) almost immediately after having the idea for the show. It's edited a lil to keep it down to a reasonable length, because much like Leo Quinn, I sure can Yap.

[Image ID: A whatsapp voice note sent by me, followed by another message by me that reads "oh I think I've decided the name of the main character is going to be Leo, bc hell if I'm going to do this completely self-serving project for no other reason than the enjoyment of creating it then I'm damn well gonna use the name I'd use if I ever decide to change to a more masc sounding name." The following messages sent by Michaela on 4 July 2021 are sent in quick succession, "omggggggggg yesssss" "I want to listen to thisss" "I am 100% happy to help" "I love this idea" "so much" "pls do it" /.End ID]

Note: audio quality changes around a lot because I was, I think, dyeing my hair at the time

Voice note transcript:

 I have a… an idea. And it might be really stupid and it will probably never come to anything. However, I'm really excited about it. So... hear me out (LAUGHS). My idea is, uh, I want to write a podcast about an ex-employee of a ghost hunting company, and the- the basis of the podcast is... I literally just had this like half baked thought like five minutes ago, so bear with me while I talk this through. This character works for a quite renowned institute, company, whatever, organization that hunts ghosts. Uh, they destroy the ghosts whenever they're called to it, but the main character is starting to get suspicious of the fact that some of the ghosts that they're called to don't necessarily seem violent, and some of them are completely harmless and they just want to exist and so they have been working on a recording system that can capture the voices of ghosts. And they start off as an assistant to like the head of this company, but they're already starting to feel complicit in what they're becoming kind of more and more aware is potentially a very evil operation. And it's gonna alternate between like their their notes and the recordings of interviews with ghosts that they are sent to hunt, but don't. They sit down and they get their life story instead and then either leave them be or try to help them move on peacefully or whatever. And there's gonna be a bit of a, like a, an overarching plot in that the organization that they work for is corrupt, but not in the way that they think. And I'm thinking the main character is trying to, like, capture enough evidence, basically, before they can quit this organization- t hat's, that's, that's their intention, is they want to make sure that this recording system is completely functional. They want to capture enough evidence of completely harmless ghosts. They want to have like a huge backlog of stuff to use against the head of this company, and to do that, to have access to ghosts and all of that kind of stuff, they have to continue working for it, which they hate, but that's the only way that they see themselves being able to achieve good in the long run. So, the first season is going to be them, like, trying to work on this project in secret while you get glimpses of the boss doing some, like, shady shit. And like... who's to say that I need to finish my novel this month anyway? You know?? But fuck it, this is... I'm really excited about this, so I'm gonna give it a shot.

#show of all time #its so good yall it makes me happy and sad all at once

Silt verses politicians will be like ya we're going to create a living sentient weapon and yes maybe she's angry at us for all the trauma and pain we put her through to make her but can we control her? Well. Can you control anything in this world?

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

I have a list of shows that either have AAPI creators or main characters on Podchaser. Am I missing any? Please send them my way!

#this is a very cool list #and if you're including aapi creators i would love to be on it #as a chinese/puerto rican person it can be weird navigating these spaces #but i do fit the category of aapi!

There truly is a very wide range of sound designers in the AD space with very different attitudes.

I have seen many who feel like excited scientists who've delved into the unknown and have returned to passionately regale people with everything they've discovered.

It is such a lovely way to experience it.

I am not one of those people.

I am currently staring at my computer with my seemingly Sisyphean task spread before me whispering "sound design is the soul crusher" like a jilted witch.

[thefringespod]

"are you okay" no I need dragons to be real

[thefringespod]

hey you. indie creator. get rid of the corporate execs and the imaginary writers room in your brain. the cynical youtube reviewers and disney fans who want sanitized uwu gays probably are never even gonna be even slightly aware of your existence. write those unrelatable blorbos and those messy themes and that weirdly sexy violence. you have no one to answer to but yourself. give yourself what you want and maybe some day, some 3 random lesbians from the internet whose interests you have somehow exactly hit will look at your thing and think its pretty cool, and in the end thats all you ever needed

[thefringespod]

Next time you're recommending The Kingmaker Histories to a friend, tell them it's about a nervous girl who kills people with a rock.
