| Tanuki Buttons: An Audio Drama from Uncanny Japan | 17 Sep 2022 | 00:27:46 | |
Have you ever seen those dogs on Instagram that communicate by pressing buttons that play recorded words? In April 2021, Terrie tamed a wild tanuki, brought it home, and taught it to communicate with buttons. Then things took a turn for the worse. Our end trailer is from Hell Gate City. It's a rollicking sci-fi comedy podcast with a macabre underbelly and satirical takes about dystopian current events.

| A Computer Voice Interviews Terrie and Rich | 06 May 2022 | 00:26:57 | |
We spent all last month filling in the world's longest and most detailed application for a multi-week accelerator training program designed to "help mid-career podcasters 'level up' with a renewed focus on business development, audience growth, optionality, video strategies, and long-term sustainability." Hey, that's exactly what we need! They said they're looking for "applicants that have already been producing media and podcasts for at least 3 years. Specifically, creators looking to take a current podcast past creative development and into business strategy." That's us! Applicants "must be able to demonstrate success and enthusiasm with current or past podcast(s) either through audience retention and growth, conceptual rigor, diversification of podcast offerings, revenue and/ or partnerships" That's us too! Also, applicants "must be willing to pause production during the program," "represent a range of geographies, backgrounds, views, voices, and styles," have "baseline technical and editorial skills," and be "interested in making their podcast sustainable through teamwork, openness to iteration and change, and pursuing revenue and audience growth." ...we weren't. The rejection email arrived yesterday. But we did spend weeks creating a bitchin' Hollywood blockbuster cinematic audio trailer for our Asteroid Arnie episode and a mock interview episode to answer their questions: 1. Explain to us what this podcast, brand, and/or creative project would look like in its most fully realized form. 2. What are the key accomplishments and milestones you are striving to reach? 3. If you had unlimited resources and support, where would you take it? The way we figure, they're both pretty darn good pieces of audio we spent a long time making, so why let them go to waste? Enjoy!

| A Spotify/Parcast True Crime Show Parody: Peppers and the Screaming Yoof | 01 Apr 2022 | 00:31:20 | |
One of the most bizarre and gruesome murders ever to take place in the continental United States occurred on April 1, 1969. Two couples were on a road trip when bad weather forced them to make an unscheduled stop. Their lives were forever changed. It's a good thing this definitely is not an April Fool's episode. Nope, no-sir-ree. Never was. Don't believe the rumors that we replaced the original with a version that has all references to April Fool's removed.

| Sneak Preview: "Asteroid Arnie and the Mushibooms" | 17 Mar 2022 | 00:03:32 | |
The sound design for our next episode is taking a LONG time. It's going to be around 30 minutes total and each five minutes worth of music and sound effects takes a full day to complete. I wish I could work faster, but you can't simply sh*t these things out. We try to get every millisecond just right because we want people to enjoy listening to our episodes over and over, like the classic comedy albums we grew up with. To hold you over, here's the first scene of "Asteroid Arnie and the Mushiblooms." You're going to love this one, I promise. Please tell friends, family, co-workers, Uber drivers, random strangers in the supermarket, etc. that you enjoy listening to our stories as much as enjoy making them. This isn't the kind of podcast people are searching for. Nobody's Googling "AI-written stories read by humans podcast." https://patreon.com/thersamatsuura/ And a Discord. It's for both Uncanny Japan and Uncanny Robot listeners. I share a lot of behind the scenes stuff because I love talking shop. Remember the DVDs that had a commentary track? That used to be my favorite part of renting a movie. So hold on—Asteroid Arnie, Moomaroof and the full cast of Mushiblooms are coming soon. It's going to be a really fun ride! Rich Pav | |||
