This weekend is a reminder of the GREAT audio dramas coming this month. @woodenovercoats.bsky.social - Rudyard on the Moon (+ the mini series coming!) @tincanaudio.co.uk and @gejwatts.bsky.social have a new AD you can get on bandcamp - The Bird Roads @gabrielurbina.com - NEW HARBINGERS NEXT WEEK

Separating the art from the artist with JK Rowling is like separating the girl scout cookies from the girl scouts. Your opinion on the cookies is irrelevant, their purpose is to fund scouting. Which is good! But if every cent funded hate groups, it'd be bad, even if the cookies were yummy as hell

So, with the new semester about to start, Emerson still hasn't told me whether or not I have a job this semester. I'm going to go ahead and assume I don't. And even if they asked me this late, I'd decline. My teaching career has come to an end. I'm okay with this. I saw it coming from last semster.

My wife is drunk. But so am I. We are taking a Lyft.

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

I knew it was coming this summer, but now it has officially happened. My baby boy is taller than I am. ♥️

Still buzzing from our audio drama event on the Thames! So lovely to meet listeners and old friends, make new friends, and it was a special honour that @alexanderdanner.bsky.social came over from the US for the first screenings of Delivery after Dark! We hope to do something like it again next year!

What a week! 3 Amelia shows in which you voted for different outcomes every time. 2 previews of our horror “Motion Podcast” Delivery After Dark with sound designer @alexanderdanner.bsky.social An onstage talk about all things audio drama (which descended into sibling rivalry between Pip & Julia!)

@greaterpodston.bluesky.social Wandering Brussels with my family. J: I want the liege waffle I had yesterday. B: I have no idea where that is from here. Me: If we wander the streets randomly enough, we'll find it. Let's try this way. (One block later) Me: There it is! (Dimitri is me.)

I am drunk with @librarybrandy.bsky.social at a goth bar in Belgium.

Next week we’re taking over Theatreship in London, with a series of events! ⚓️ 3 interactive live shows! ⚓️ A talk hosted by an audio academic from Bucharest! (With @alexanderdanner.bsky.social) ⚓️ 2 screenings of our new “audio film!” 4th, 5th, 6th August! Join us on the Thames! theatreship.co.uk

Theatreship

The world's largest floating arts centre. Across two historic cargo ships. In the old docks of Canary Wharf.

I'm having dinner at an English pub in London, and there were Christmas carols playing a moment ago?

you are good love you all goodnighrt

the best use of social meddia is gettin gdrunk and flirting with your already spouse, yes/no?

NOBODYS ACTUALLLY ON BLUESKY RIGHT??

The weirdest thing about @librarybrandy.bsky.social figuring out that she's autistic is that she is suddenly much more insistent that soup is inherently *round*.

I'm drunk and watching Yellowjackets, AMA. Joel McHale, holy shit!

I LOVE Derrumbes San Luis Potosi mezcal. Most of you reading this would probably hate it. Passionately. Everyone else will think it's a magical experience. The flavor notes I get are blue cheese and green olives. It's wild. I'd marry it if I could. www.totalwine.com/spirits/mezc...

Green Giant is the obvious first draft here. Kool Aid Man for sure--my boy busts down walls, and is a handy vessel for drowning my enemies besides. Chester seems a solid pick. My wild card is Chef Boy R Dee. I've read some very convincing arguments that he is literally Dracula.

Things aren't great, let's have some fun

@catblackard.bsky.social I have to thank you and Jess for recommending Blue Prince to me! @librarybrandy.bsky.social and I have been obsessed with it since I got back from Colorado...over 100 hours in at this point... (And we just got the blue tents!)

These are all the buttons in the elevator at my hotel.

BTW highly recommend Bodies on the Line, an audio piece about abortion clinic escorts and how that work has informed their relationship with gender and their bodies, created by my friend @euripidesredux.bsky.social (Content warning for protesters yelling awful things) tinyurl.com/zp72jx5f

Attending @tafcon.bsky.social profoundly reinvigorated my desire to dive into new audio dramas! I started this morning with Towers Anthology by the delightful Asante Mango, whom I had the privilege of meeting this weekend. Just two episodes so far, easy to jump into, and thoroughly charming!
