Happy #AudioDramaSunday night, y'all. I'm waiting to do another Snacks Update until we release the end of @windfallpodcast.bsky.social S2 (postponed to early December because HOLIDAY FUNK), but I listened to 44 episodes this past week. Pls be proud of me.

Sometimes I feel like the creative part of my life is taking a huge backseat to my day job and the nonstop drudgery of living through a fascist regime.

But then I remember- hey, you released an audio drama concept album earlier this year. Give yourself a break!

I am so goddam proud of this episode of GIVE ME AWAY, I really think we crushed it on a bunch of levels. But fair warning: it may give you flashbacks to some… less-than-pleasant days in recent memory.

Y'all, my band @ghosttour.bsky.social dropped our first full-EP that we recorded together in March of this year. I cannot understate how much it's meant to me to have a chance to do this kind of thing again. Would mean a lot if you listen!

Long ago in the pre-sideshave days, @laurenshippen.com & I met on a fun D&D webseries. Lauren went on to create thrilling, heartfelt (queer!) stories in podcast, novels, & self-produced indie art I fell in love with.

Now we’re reunited! I’m proud to be Cal in Phantom Pulse. Please check it out! 🎸🖤

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!
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.

"I’ve always been so impressed with the way she’s been able to meet the moment when rolling out a new show, and I’m convinced this one will gather the adoring audience it deserves." - we're so touched by @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social's write-up of TWO THOUSAND AND LATE! Subscribe to their newsletter!
A write-up from Bobby's Snacks Newsletter: You’re telling me it’s the year 2025 and there’s an entire first season of a blisteringly funny and relatable independent show written, created by, and starring Lauren Shippen? Sign me all the way the fuck up from minute one. I still haven’t caught the season finale that aired on Halloween just yet, but the journey of Harper, a mid-thirties millennial just struggling to get by in her Upstate NY hometown, and Havoc, the literal demon from hell who has shown up 20 years late to possess her is fantastic. Putting the whole thing against the backdrop of an anti-capitalist fight against the Amazon stand-in Mammoth? And you’ve read me all the way to filth. I’m especially interested in the way that Lauren has been able to create video content in character on Reels (and presumably TikTok which I’m too ancient to ever bother to understand). I’ve always been so impressed with the way she’s been able to meet the moment when rolling out a new show, and I’m convinced this one will gather the adoring audience it deserves.

I know I've been quiet, but this is the second-to-last episode of @windfallpodcast.bsky.social S2 and I am so ridiculously stoked on how it came out. This show has been such a bear to bring back to life... but at the end of the day, it's been so so so worth it. Would love to hear your thoughts!
