Waiting For October - a queer supernatural audio drama by D.J. Sylvis and Monkeyman Productions.
There is a world - one of thousands touching ours - known as October. One of the archetypes; one of the realities that is a source for our stories. It is not difficult to reach, if you know the way - you can experience their wildness for yourself, adventure there, and live, and love. But be wary - perhaps more than any other existence, here there be monsters âŚ

Today our Crowdfundr shoutout is to Snickerdoodle. Thank you for your support!
And here we are, at the very end of Season One! Itâs been quite an adventure, and I want to thank you so much for listening. Everything about this show has been a really personal, very emotional journey for so many of us involved, and we canât wait to see where it takes us next. After all, remember â we write the story, it doesnât write us!
Our next steps will be working on the first between-seasons miniseries â which as youâve heard, might involve the Moon â and then starting to plot out Season Two. But while weâre taking a bit of a well-earned break and then diving in on that, we could use your help too! Your support of the show and participation in our community is just as important. When you share the show with friends, recommend or rate us on social media or your podcast app or places like Podchaser ⌠when you join our Patreon or buy our merch ⌠all of that is incredibly, vitally important and it means the world â all the worlds, really â to us when you do it. So another thank you for that to everyone who participates!
And one last note before we say farewell for a while. Itâs a really rough time in the world for so many reasons, and itâs so hard to keep it together and to find ways to keep pushing back. Please, remember that self-care and connecting with others is a big part of resistance. Be good to yourself, be good to the people around you, and know that we are with you. So much love.Â

This big an episode deserves a big recommendation â and Iâve got two in one for you today! Tau Zaman, friend of the show, cast member, and script consultant, runs two fantastic series of their own you really need to check out! Caravan is an incredible supernatural western adventure you have to hear to believe, and Rogue Runners is the best actual play podcast Iâve ever heard, set in the world of the video game Hades! Listen to both of them now!
And for us ⌠this may have been the season finale, but itâs not the last youâre going to hear! Because more seasons, Iâd hope, but right now weâve still got one more monologue to share before we take a break â and thatâll be Karo letting us know where theyâre at after finding a way forward. Get ready for that, and Happy Halloween â at least in the world of October!

Deej here with another recommendation for your drama-loving earholes â and this one has captivated me from Episode One â The Night Post!
