Episode 1 of Metropolis, The Audio Drama! Now live!

Things aren’t great in Arnhem. Nobody seems that interested in putting back together what the war has blasted apart, and now the city has started smelling like literal horse manure. All anyone has to look forward to are dispatches from Metropolis - that mysterious, shining, robot-powered city in the Arctic where everyone seems to have it all figured out.

But do they? The Arnhem Fact-Gazette newspaper has a man on the ground there - Stanley Bronfels - but he’s just a sportswriter, and he’s definitely not being encouraged to dig for muck when there are diamonds to swallow and magic robots to describe.

But Stan’s best friend is Nan Kanally - the ace reporter for the paper back in Arnhem - and she has a way of getting you to do things you might not ordinarily do. That’s why Stan likes her so much. But does he know what she’s about to get him into?

==============================

Gosh, it is so astonishing to get this live. There is a tremendous amount of luck to creating any creative work - especially one that takes as many people with as many diverse talents as a full-cast audio drama. I was born under a lucky star, clearly. ============================== Buncha ways to listen - these are just a few, but basically any podcast listening method that isn't taping a solenoid to a seashell will work (and I'm working on the seashell).

People who listen to altogether too many podcasts: what are the arbitrary rules you make up for yourself? DO you make up rules about what you're "allowed" to listen to and when, or is that just me?

Rules like:

Podcasts are divided into Current (ones I'm caught up with), Catching up (ones where I'm working through the back catalogue), and Replay (ones I've heard all of but am listening to again because of love)

Current shows are for home, Catching up and Replay are for out and about

BUT if I have 10 or more unlistened Current episodes then I have to get that number under 10 before switching to Catching up or Replay, even if out and about

Only one Replay and one Catching up show can be active at any given time, I have to finish a whole season before making a different one active

It sounds like I'm forcing myself to eat my veggies here but honestly making up rules like this is the only way to not get overwhelmed and lost – if I didn't do this I'd constantly be starting shows and forgetting about them and then fretting that I'm 2 episodes into 15 different things

(Confirmed in an email to the mailing list – can't find an online copy I can link to just now)

West End Hadestown cast recording confirmed coming soon (but which cast??)

Game: choose a podcast character (or three), and then a second, different podcast to send them into for a while.

It could be to bully them, to give them some relief, or even just to see them interact with the characters that live there.
