"real people don't talk like that" can be a valid criticism of a piece of media but it can also be one of the highest praises i can bestow. there's nuance.

Music for I Need A Miracle is by Katharine Seaton

Katharine Seaton

Katharine Seaton

Composer - Sound Designer

Katharine works with Rusty Quill as sound designer and composer, and made her BBC Radio 4 debut on Easter Day 2023, as composer for the radio adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel Enduring Love.

@merelymatt says, once upon a time, my plan was not to have music in I Need A Miracle. That would have been a sad, flat world. Katie got me thinking about the vibe of the series, and its themes, motifs and recurring moments and moods, in a way I never would have without a composer on board – and then translated those raw thoughts perfectly into sound. Her music is the first thing you hear in each episode, and it acts like the best teasers and trailers – giving you just a sense of what you're in for, calibrating your receptors ready for the episode to activate your emotions (yes all of them, all at once).

Do any audio drama folks here have experience of monetizing with Apollo? I approached through the contact form on their website, where it says they try to get back in 2-3 days; been a couple of weeks and nothing back yet. Just trying to get a sense of how worthwhile it'll be to chase them up (and whether slow responses/not delivering on what they say they'll do is normal or unusual)

Did you know I've been serialising a story in my newsletter for nearly a year?

A Net Too Wide To Break His Fall is about Callum, who is invisible and inaudible and essentially nonexistent to anyone he hasn't been introduced to.

You might think that wouldn't be too big an issue but the boy is also extremely bad at maintaining close relationships with the people he knows (ie the ones capable of introducing him to new people)

Basically imagine if letting your friendships and family relationships lapse led to you functionally becoming a ghost.

Callum's solution to this is to get involved in organised crime and then almost immediately decide to turn coat, which has led to the situation he's currently in.

Can any world survive a benevolent god?

In this upcoming audio drama podcast, each episode is a prayer, some prayers are granted, and a granted prayer can upend the world.

For fans of

Each episode of I Need A Miracle is a short monologue. A new character every episode. Never the same character twice. Always addressing a plea to a listening deity – which never makes a sound.

Play god

You, the listener, stand in for a silently listening god. Hear brazen demands for divine intervention and vulnerable, secret pleas for deliverance. Whose requests would you grant and why? Does anyone deserve a miracle?

Play detective

Which pleas are granted? How does the listening being decide? What are the Upheavals that regularly wrack this world? What threatens to rise from the Depths? And can any being with ultimate power truly be benevolent?

Play the heartstrings

I Need A Miracle is all about the many kinds of wanting, and the many ways of asking for help. How would you make your case to an omnipotent being who grants some miracles but not others, based on ineffable criteria?
