No no, darling. Dr. Hotwood is absolutely correct 😏 This role was an absolute BLAST, in more ways than one!
This week's episode of SCP introduces @kaylatemshiv.bsky.social as Janice S. our favorite little morally questionable disaster alongside @inkphemeral.bsky.social as the one and only Dr. HOT- I mean, Holmwood! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
I’m really gonna need dating apps to start cross referencing, cause I was THIS CLOSE to swiping right on a man I fully already dated for six months 🤦🏾♀️ Out here using different photos for different apps. MISLEADING! MISLEADING SIR!
I sense a lot of people in the U.S. waiting for the movie moment when Trump dissolves Congress and marches his shock troops into major cities to decide this is fascism. That’s pretty unlikely to happen; things will carry on similarly, just with ever-more constraints on what you can do or say
A very small number of people comparatively will be grabbed off the street. Most businesses and universities won’t have accounts frozen and offices raided. Publications won’t necessarily be outright shut down. But everyone knows that it’s a possibility and will act accordingly
One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
When you're making a big, ambitious show, you want to work with the best. That's why when we started Hit Singles, some of our first phone calls were to *the* best. Our friends and colleagues who have been making podcasts and audio fiction for years. Who know this stuff better than anyone.
Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.
Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable. Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.
for just FIVE roles! While we couldn’t cast everyone this time, we hope you’ll stay in touch, both on social and at future casting calls! Each and every one of you made this an experience to remember — we cannot wait to share this, and future stories with all of you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who auditioned for “It Will Have Blood!” All official offers have been sent, and everyone who auditioned should have a reply from us one way or another in their inbox. We had to make some INCREDIBLY tough choices. 105 amazing actors sent us a total of 185 auditions,
Thanks so much for your patience! We can’t wait to meet The Avalon’s future crew!
QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT! We’ve sent emails to this effect as well — but we’re postponing our casting announcements/offers for a couple of days while our sound designer gets over an illness! Once she’s feeling better, we’ll get final approval on the callback submissions, and reach out to everyone!
Okay, I have a few thoughts on the General Boycott and just want to share them. I see a lot of people asking, “Why just one day?” Most calls to action - especially when organized by a union or organizing body - will typically start with one day.
One of indie audio drama's true multihyphenates, @inkphemeral.bsky.social is best known as the creator of shows like Primordial Deep and Janus Descending, star of Maxine Miles and many others. She is playing [REDACTED], the new [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]'s new [EXTREMELY REDACTED].
If Lisette isn’t already on your radar, Stormfire Productions features stories and voices that DEMAND to be listened to. Cutting edge storytelling and you won’t find a more community centered AD creator! Proud to have been Lisette’s friend from the early days of our work 💜
This #audiodramasunday I wanna shout out @nosuchthingradio.bsky.social and @inkphemeral.bsky.social for hopping back into the scene, Jordan is such an innovative and fun creator who I have admired since we both entered audio drama with our first shows. I am so excited for “It Will Have Blood”!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
Okay writers… if you could publish something based on an IP you love, what would it be? I’ll go first: ✨a Doctor Who novel ✨an audiodrama limited series about the Ordinary AWE from @remedygames.com ‘s Control ✨Fahrenheit 451 prequel

My cat has never been more confused and angry with me 😹 “WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN BED HOURS AGO!!!” I know baby, I know…
And just like that, the callbacks are off!!! Everyone should have received a confirmation one way or the other — thank you to all the talented actors who have joined us on the road so far!
I’m on the last character… I am… the tired-est baby moose… Still several dozen auditions to listen through in this last stretch, and then I have (checks notes) … 105 emails to send!
Okay. I have three and a half more pages to record tonight… … and then 150 more auditions to comb through… and then send out all the callback notifications… It’s gonna be a long one. Send chocolate.

HEARTBREAKING: Person with 20+ unfinished projects has a new idea for a project.
I’m juggling this with recording an audiobook, but WOW I cannot tell you how ABSOLUTELY STOKED I am to be behind the casting table again…
UPDATE: Callbacks will be sent out on WEDNESDAY EVENING! We had well over one hundred actors submit, and many of you for multiple roles! And there is… only one Jordan doing a pass of these initial files… Thanks for bearing with us (or… just me!) We’ll be in touch with everyone soon!
