I'm making a video game!! My Darling Monk is a story of choice, change, and transformation. It's also a story of being irresistibly yummy to monsters (smash), solving problems for useless monarchs (pass), and having absolutely no powers at all. Sign up on our website for updates: www.straylungs.com

Tonight we will be finishing our remix of a track from @jochiang.bsky.social's 'Hearthbound' with a choir made from clips sent in by our Ko-Fi members and Twitch subscribers. I can't wait to hear how it all sounds.

Thank you for listening!
🐕 I started Hearthbound and listened to the first two episodes. This show has been so hyped and rightly so! What a warm, beautiful start to the story. The actors’ voices are all stunning. It’s an absolute delight on the ears so far!

I've been enjoying Hearthbound a lot. I especially loved the "I'm nobody" inclusion. An unexpected benefit of listening to Hearthbound is that I might finally be ready to read my copy of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey <3
Happy #bandcampfriday! Hearthbound: The Road Trip Version & the Original Soundtrack have dropped on straylungs.bandcamp.com! It's the last day of 2025 where 100% of proceeds go to artists, so each purchase you make helps fund Stray Lungs' next project.

I just finished Hearthbound: An Untelling Of The Odyssey (@jochiang.bsky.social) 🚐🐕
It was exactly what I needed for this week.
A fresh and unapologetically queer take on the Ancient Greek tale in the form of an apocalyptic road trip, featuring gorgeous music, and a beautiful, cosy love story.

Thank you so much for listening along and for the lovely words!
I've just listened to the finale of @jochiang.bsky.social's Hearthbound.
The entire 10 episodes have been beautifully realised. Who'd have thought relocating the Odyssey to a post-apocalypse US West would work so well? Jo did, & it does.
At the last catharsis, though this is no tragedy.
*applause*

This #audiodramasunday, I wanted to feature some shows by my fellow Asian creators out here. As we are not a monolith, everyone brings such an array of specific cultural experiences to the work. Here's to telling more stories, our way.

Thanks for letting us keep you company! We highly recommend our listeners go out and about and look at some good trees while listening to Hearthbound! 🌲
I listened to an episode of Wolf 359, Hearthbound, and Hello from the Hallowoods today while doing chores and being out on my walk, and I'm now settling in to stream the Wooden Overcoats liveshow. So many fantastic audio dramas today 💜
