A BLAST to talk to @laurenshippen.com, one of my favorite people in AD. If you want to hear us talking about what it might take for the medium to bReAk OuT, the stuff Dan and I do outside of podcasting (he's made some incredible electronic music, I've written a novel and a play) - take a listen!
Our hopeful bonus episodes continue! This month, @laurenshippen.com talked with the brilliant @marcsollinger.bsky.social about audio drama, being hopeful about progressive candidates, and writing spooky stories. pod.link/1835711536/e...

anyway, pivoting to video has always been impossible for me bc I make audio drama. doing video would be, uh, making a tv show? and if I wanted to make TV, I would be trying to do that.

I love audio. I love indie audio. if you do too, please help me keep it alive www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

There’s still time to back the new @atypicalartists.co show!! It’s got this punk rock Scooby Doo vibe to it and, let’s be honest, if it’s written by @laurenshippen.com you KNOW it’s gonna be good www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

We knew we'd love Pluribus because it's Vince Gilligan but a queer woman who is a total mess and pessimistic about the world? That is SO our vibe. If it's your vibe too, you might enjoy TWO THOUSAND AND LATE!

I know we probably won't make this last timed goal, but I DO think that things are looking good for making our goal overall!! so help us get there as fast as we can!!!
Our next, and final, timed goal is an AMBITIOUS one! Can we fundraise our entire goal in two weeks? Can we raise 22k by the end of tomorrow?

We always knew this was a big stretch, but let's see how much we can do anyway!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

😈 Two Thousand and Late by @atypicalartists.co (1.06-1.07) I’m living for these little snippets of Chuck backstory! Using clout appears to be working better? For now? I imagine it as a Sims-esque Use Clout button - it doesn’t work unless Harper has her HP up (havoc powers xo).

Meet Ash, the newest member of Phantom Pulse, on the keys

Ash is kind, but she doesn't know the truth about the band. And they may not know the truth about her either

Always seeking more knowledge about the spirit world, Cal is whip-smart + playful, but their curiosity might be their downfall.

Meet Bremmer, the lead guitarist of Phantom Pulse.

Surly and reticent, there's a bleeding heart underneath that tough exterior.

Also secrets. A lot of secrets.

"Alongside a solid cast, Two Thousand and Late has a backing track of pumped-up rock music and destructive sound effects for all of Havoc’s (and sometimes Harper’s) misdeeds" - thank you to Fiction Frequency for the 4 star review!!

We love seeing these two together on the charts!

Jo is a ball of unstoppable energy and a *bit* of an adrenaline seeker. Dying was the greatest thrill she'd ever experienced.
