| Presents: Dice Tower Theatre | 06 Mar 2022 | 00:27:45 | |
Dice Tower Theatre presents Dawn of Dragons. A clean, family-friendly, fantasy epic with a setting both unique and familiar to those that enjoy escaping into the classic worlds of Tolkien, CS Lewis, Rothfuss and Martin. Worlds where magic and dragons battle with relatable heroes. Heroes that also at times must battle even those challenges that lie within their own hearts. Raised by former knights in hiding, they have grown up taking on different skills, each one unique and valuable to each other. Young Cordelia the fire mage, aspiring knight Benedict, bright-eyed mariner Zorin and the deadly swordmaster Sophie are not only bonded by use of magic or mastery of a sword, they are also tied to a great destiny - a destiny foretold in lost tomes they have yet to discover. But first their world is one now cloaked in a great shadow that is spreading like a sickness which they seek to overcome. In this scene our heroes are locked in the defense of the celestine tower, an ancient castle watching over the vast plain of the great valley. They are under siege by dragons and other dark forces of an invading army. While some of our heros are exploring its ancient halls above looking for assistance we begin by joining young benedict, to stand by his side on the battlefield. Originally created simply to record the events of a collaborative roleplaying game, Dice Tower Theatre has now grown to a production including over 80 voice actors, original scoring and sound design by the game master himself, resulting in hours of quality entertainment. Many of the echoes of life’s struggles came out organically at the table between the players as friends and were captured in the story. Those struggles come with lessons, and overall those lessons are to be a better person, both to those around them as well as to themselves.

| Presenting: Hannahpocalypse | 20 Feb 2022 | 00:09:53 | |
This is a show about love, death, and robots. No, not the Netflix show. This is a totally different kind of story. Hannahpocalypse is a forth wall breaking serial comedy/horror audio drama that follows the last zombie, Hannah; who’s ‘living’ her best life over 100 years after the zombie apocalypse has come and gone. All the while Cali, a scout for a thriving settlement, looks to make a mark on the world but is coming up bust. Destined to collide, zombie and human will be forced into an unlikely friendship amid a wasteland full of unfriendly robots left over from the ‘bad old days’. It’s a story of friendship, love, robots and a girl who eats people. As you might have guessed, this isn’t your regular zombie show, if one at all despite the unliving status of it’s main character. Perhaps surprisingly, flicking the tuner to this show will introduce an offbeat, queer, comedy/horror story dares to tackle a spectrum of themes ranging from feelings of existential loneliness all the way to finding the kind of love that crosses the boundaries of communication. It swings with abandon between light and quirky observational gags to incredibly vulnerable scenes of heartache and hope that’ll be sure to have you experiencing a full range of emotions within a fifteen or so minute episode. Starring Amanda Hufford as Hannah and Abigail Turner as Cali, the show is also propelled forward by powerful supporting performances from Jordan Rudolph, Tom Schulk, Will Handford and Ryan Hoyle (among others!). If you’re looking for a show with incredibly strong character development, a little bit of hope and maybe a laugh or two, try giving Hannahpocalypse a spot in your podcast rotation. You can listen to Hannahpocalypse at https://cybernauticapod.com/hannahpocalypse or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. | |||
| Presenting: What Will Be Here | 06 Feb 2022 | 00:05:10 | |
What Will Be Here is a sci-fi audio drama about living on a doomed earth and building things anyway. In it, five friends send a rocket to space with a collection of recordings on it, documenting the world’s decline, their experiences living on a doomed earth, the stories they want to tell, and their efforts in building a rocket to get this message to the stars. They wonder what their world will have become by the time their message is listened to. What will be left of a planet that has destroyed itself? What will be left of the people who lived there? What will become of their stories? What will be here? At its core, this show is about living and creating when things feel pointless. It's a story that came out of the pandemic, and the landscape in which this story was written and produced greatly influenced how it turned out. What Will Be Here? is set on earth 200 years in the future, where large-scale crises are fully normalized. But despite the bleak backdrop, this story is one of hope - of overcoming challenges, of making things that might be temporary, but also things that might be launched into space and continue on forever. The experience of the characters in What Will Be Here? mirrors the experience of the cast and crew; both creating something new against a background of tragedy, and neither knowing quite where it will end up. You can listen to What Will Be Here at whatwillbehere.crd.co or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. | |||

For our final discussion before the premiere of Season 3 we have a conversation with the immensely talented Lee Shackleford, creator of Relativity podcast.

| Bonus Episode: A Ninth World Discussion with Shannon Perry | 28 Mar 2020 | 00:49:07 | |
For this discussion I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with the inimitable Shannon Perry, creator and producer of the hilariously whimsical sci-fi comedy OZ-9. The show is a delightful British style audio-comedy featuring the Ninecompoops, a cast of inept characters commandeering (if you can call it that) a colony ship of wealthy aristocrats in stasis, trying their best to keep them and themselves alive. Well, maybe not their best... Shannon was kind enough to join me and ask some very interesting and insightful questions about the show. Give it a listen... much fun was had by the two of us! | |||
