not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas

not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure

the most successful ADs are indie

Do I know anyone with a horror/ trans product, or similar, who might be interested in sponsoring mine and my partner’s audio fiction podcast The Holmwood Foundation? We’re currently trying to figure out ways of making sure we can get Season Two funded.

doing my quarterly brag about this - I'm genuinely so proud of the materials I put together that are offered here. the production handbook took 6 months of consistent work, and I update it about 5 times a year with new info! don't make me beg for you to take my free thing! just take it!
We believe so strongly in making art accessible to everyone - one of the things we love most about the audio medium is how much you can do with a small team, or even on your own. Let our free resources help you make your audio dream a reality!

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992
