Tanuki Buttons: An Audio Drama from Uncanny Japan

Season 1 · Episode 11

Saturday, September 17, 2022 • Duration 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. Listen here: http://hellgatecity.com

Uncanny Robot is Bram Stoker Finalist and Clarion West 2015 graduate Thersa Matsuura and audio editor/sound designer Rich Pav. Our other shows are Uncanny Japan and The Soothing Stories Podcast. Check out Terrie's books including The Carp-Faced Boy on Amazon.

A Computer Voice Interviews Terrie and Rich

Season 1 · Episode 7

Friday, May 6, 2022 • Duration 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."

That's four more yeses! We figured we'd be a shoe-in for the program.

...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?

A Spotify/Parcast True Crime Show Parody: Peppers and the Screaming Yoof

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, April 1, 2022 • Duration 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.

Hey, guess what: It turns out lots of people wish April Fool's Day would die in a fire.

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.
