What the Pig Promised

Voiceover Nerd Productions - Shawn Fitzmaurice

Fiction

Frequency: 1 episode/20d. Total Eps: 10

A surreal audio drama about a village caught in a loop it can't remember, a sky without stars, and the strange lives drawn into its orbit. In Gratch Hollow, a dying stranger wakes to the same violent moment again and again. A pig-man named Jon, hulking and powerful, offers comfort to those who need it. The seamstress tells stories of constellations no one has seen. And a young girl named Sara studies equations that could rewire all of time. Many of their truths never happened. Written, narrated, and produced by Shawn Fitzmaurice. Voiceover Nerd Productions, Inc. © 2025 All rights reserved.

What The Pig Promised - Season 1 Trailer

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 01:47

It's a slow-burn, kinda sci-fi, kinda mystery drama… with its own sense of humor (which, coincidentally, is much like mine).

It's about time troubles. About "mathmagics," a warrior nun, and an amnesiac who loves her. (Her love language may, in fact, be blunt force trauma. He stands by this.)

It's about constellations and their legends guiding a world without stars, and the people trying to record them for the future.

It's about the price you pay for the wrong decision, and a gentle soul who would never check the cost.

It’s a story about making impossible choices when no one will know the sacrifice you made for them.

If you like stories that take their time and trust you to hold on, this might be your thing.

Season 1 · Episode 5

Saturday, January 31, 2026 • Duration 25:52

Episode 4 — The Ashes of Echoes

Dear Listener,

Nothing’s ever truly gone, and nothing gained nor lost. It just transforms, unnoticed… forgotten… ’til it’s not. Like sickness, or a story, or a lifetime, or a plot.

— Author Unknown

When control of the experiment begins to slip, Kellor Voss commits to a drastic system reset and executes it with precision. The reset fails, changing the stakes in ways no one could have anticipated.

At the same time, Sara’s work begins to cross from theory into the physical world, and the Stranger’s repeated deaths no longer follow a reliable path.

Cautionary Bindings: A preserved record from the Stitched Chronicles of Gratch Hollow.

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, January 15, 2026 • Duration 05:24

“Faith festers when it feeds on the faithful.”
— Brother Halvor

From the Stitched Chronicles of Gratch Hollow.

Ilra Wint records a warning she was taught long before she understood it — followed by two letters that explain why she keeps it.

A son writes with calm conviction about the Constant, about stillness, about sacrifice.
A father answers with what those words actually cost.

This is a short archival fragment from What the Pig Promised:
belief as it sounds, and belief as it behaves.

Listener discretion advised.

(Note to listeners, despite it's placement, this is a fictional work, and not a religious podcast)

Episode 1 . Skies as Empty as Promises

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, November 17, 2025 • Duration 23:03

(revised 11 July 2026) A character-driven mystery stitched from sci-fi, constellation folklore, and time loops—handcrafted by Voiceover Nerd Productions.Listen all the way through, then claim your favorite — the poll waits at the end, if you are on Spotify. (Don’t let Cultist #4 win.)

A village with no stars in the sky.A stranger who keeps dying.A pig-man who only wants to help.And a death cult that won’t stay buried.

In Gratch Hollow, the village seamstress records stories of constellations that exist everywhere but here. A warrior wakes to the same brutal moment again and again, trapped in a loop he can’t escape. And a young scientist named Sara studies equations that could rewrite time—until something keeps pulling them all back to the morning everything burned.

When the cult strikes at dawn, Sara’s mentor fights back with impossible precision. Jon, a gentle pig-man cast out by his warrior race, offers comfort in the chaos. And the stranger flickers in and out of existence, his sword already drawn before his eyes open.

Some things repeat.Some things remember.And the truth never stays the same.

Written, narrated, and produced by Shawn Fitzmaurice.A Voiceover Nerd production.
