Well folks, the finale of Twilight Meridian is now available for your listening pleasure. It’s been a long and personal journey of sorts to get this show over the finish line and I just want to say I appreciate those of you have stuck with us to the end.

Anticrastination: A Comedy Audio Drama A pair of people try to make a podcast about reaching goals and getting organized--and completely fail. A desperate comedy!

Y'all, Anticrastination has 4 days left on their KS and they're 90% funded, they're SO CLOSE! W. Keith Tims is a wonderful audio drama creator who's already made several beautiful shows, please consider sending some cash their way and spreading the word

If you're not yet subscribed to Continuous Wave from @bartona104.bsky.social then fix this! Yes, Audio Flux was featured recently, but every dispatch is smart, funny & rhymes the history of radio with podcasting today. Plus, amazing vintage clip art πŸ™Œ

Right this way: continuous-wave.beehiiv.com

Hey! This is nifty, Metropolis is almost at 100 Spotify reviews! I'll take it!

(And yes, I really am working on Episode 12 - about 70% done at this point. Apologies for the delay!) #audiodrama

The Bright Sessions

It would be frankly impossible for me to return to covering audio fiction without acknowledging yesterday’s surprise Epilogue to celebrate this show’s tenth anniversary. While Welcome to Night Vale is the show that brought me to this medium, and Limetown, Archive 81, and ars PARADOXICA that kept me here in those early years, it was Lauren Shippen’s voice that truly showed me that this world was something I needed to play an active part in. It was so punk rock, the way in which she took her friends from acting class and together willed their careers into existence by simply making stories that they believed in. We were take to such wonderful heights across 7 brilliant seasons, and I would have been completely okay never visiting these characters again. And yet the way in which it’s delivered? As Dr. Bright delivers updates about this strange and wonderful found family at the graveside of Agent Green, with a brief appearance from Shippen’s own Sam, who was visiting her parents’ plots nearby. It doesn’t feel conspiratorial. It doesn’t feel like we need to be ripped back in because the intrigue never stopped happening. In fact, it feels like we know all we need to know: that these characters we loved are all doing okay. That they love each other. That they’re growing and changing and just doing their best to be the people we loved all along. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

genuinely want to cry at @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social's write-up of The Bright Sessions epilogue - he's been such a huge advocate for the medium from day 1, that the idea of being even a small part of them diving fully into AD is extremely meaningful.

everyone should listen to his own amazing shows!

I realize the new episode is MONDO, MONDO late. It turns out that a combination of an over-committed consulting schedule and several weeks of single parenting will do that to a production schedule. πŸ˜‚

But I made progress tonight! And it's sounding great. I really can't wait to bring it to you.

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! Honestly work was so wild I didn't have a ton of 'bandwidth' outside of my uh, 15 go to podcasts lol I enjoyed the new episode of @howitends.bsky.social and I continued to progress on @theameliaproject.bsky.social, I listened to a couple of @luxradium.bsky.social to refresh

#audiodrama sound editing pro-tip: you hear something differently the fifth time you listen to it versus the first.

You'll often hear it as "downtempo" from what it will be to a fresh audience, because your ears know the beats and are starting to get impatient with them. Adjust accordingly.

this episode has many things that I love: one of my favorite @readitsomewhere.bsky.social jokes, a big group scene with our incredible mammoth ensemble, and people working together to make the world a better place.

but will they succeed? you want to be caught up before the final two eps, trust me

Episode 12 is way overdue, but I'm making slow but steady progress. It really is coming, and it's sounding great.

I may be doing some stuff in the background to set up doing additional Metropolis (and other stories). But first, I need to get the rest of *this* Metropolis out! #audiodrama

A version of the Metropolis cover art that says 'Happy 1st Birthday' in script across the top, along with a party-ified version of the Metropolis logo robot.  Bold, vibrant colors abound!

I put together a fancy image for Metropolis' birthday, and had to share it.

Thank you so much to the thousands of you who have listened to our show in the past year. You are all amazing! πŸ˜„

On this day last year, we released the first episode of Metropolis. That means... gosh, it's *our birthday*? One full year of our little audio drama!?

Thank you so much to everyone who has come on this journey with us so far. πŸ˜„ Just two episodes to go, and the next one is coming out soon, really!

Macy’s building is both setting and inspiration for a Philly Fringe Fest cabaret The Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s β€œThe Layaway” is a cheeky and mischievous take on opulence and commerce.

Something that is impossibly cool: WHYY just did a big piece about something my spouse/creative-partner (and director of Metropolis) has been working on back in Philly:

whyy.org/articles/bea...

It's such a beautiful, transcendent show in an incredibly 'Metropolis' space. An incredible creation. πŸ₯²

Gosh do I have a love-hate relationship with audio editing. It's great to get things the way you want them, but the anxiety to get there – the feeling that you might let all the work you've done to get to this point down – is pretty rough! #audiodrama

You're absolutely right that a lifestyle built around dissolute self-indulgence would suggest some very unhealthy people!

The way I've always thought of it – Metropolites are extremely unhealthy, but they're thin and unhealthy because they're vain and they're constantly abusing stimulants. πŸ˜‚

I started over my listen of @luxradium.bsky.social which is great. Also went back and listened to an older story arc I like from @midnightmanuscript.bsky.social and attended an animated trailer premiere and Q&A for @howitends.bsky.social for their new season coming up! Great time!
