MOONBURN
(UN)LIKEMINDED: A SCI-FI AUDIO ANTHOLOGY
With their lives (and paranormal careers) on the line, the team holds a séance to summon the mysterious Matriarch. But as tensions boil over and the veil between worlds begins to thin, they realize they’re entangled in a much more sinister story than they ever could have imagined.

With their lives (and paranormal careers) on the line, the team holds a séance to summon the mysterious Matriarch. But as tensions boil over and the veil between worlds begins to thin, they realize they’re entangled in a much more sinister story than they ever could have imagined.
Desperate to escape the Van Buren Manor, the team is forced to confront the very thing they came to fake: their first ever real ghost, and his dire warning of malevolent and powerful spirit called ‘The Matriarch’ whose reign of terror may only just be beginning.

In our series premiere, the “Spirit Sleuths” arrive at the Van Buren Manor, hoping to spin ghost stories into viral content. But when their staged hauntings awaken something real, they’re horrified to find themselves trapped inside the manor at the mercy of dark forces with plans of their own.

It’s officially AYR’s birthday, the start of our 3rd year of fiction podcasting, and the last day of our GoFundMe.
Three years ago, this was just a dream. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m so proud of what we’ve built and so excited for what’s next.

Almost 2 years ago, I launched AYR to create bold, collaborative fiction podcasts like Moonburn and (Un)Likeminded. Now we’re heading into Year 3— and I’ve launched a GoFundMe to support all the new seasons, stories, and voices we’re ready to bring to life.

Almost 2 years ago, I started AYR Productions with the dream of carving out a space of creativity, collaboration, and amplified LGBTQ+ voices. Since, we've launched fiction podcasts, turned imaginative ideas in audio reality, and built something incredibly special.
