Amber Devereux | Tin Can Audio @tincanaudio.co.uk · 10mo ago

I spent my weekend building a new desk and reorganising my setup and tonight I'll be stress testing it as we continue work on our lo-fi remix of @jochiang.bsky.social's Hearthbound 8pm UK/3pm Eastern twitch.tv/tincanaudio

a cluttered, messy computer desk sits on the left side of the image while an empty, black desk sits on the right. In the middle, perpendicular to the desks are two synths stacked on a double keyboard stand.

The same two desks. The desk on the right is now full of synthesizers, machines and a reel-to-reel tape machine. The desk on the left is still cluttered, but in a sort of tidier way

Thank you for listening!

🐕 I started Hearthbound and listened to the first two episodes. This show has been so hyped and rightly so! What a warm, beautiful start to the story. The actors’ voices are all stunning. It’s an absolute delight on the ears so far!

I'm making a video game!! My Darling Monk is a story of choice, change, and transformation. It's also a story of being irresistibly yummy to monsters (smash), solving problems for useless monarchs (pass), and having absolutely no powers at all.

TITLE: MY DARLNG MONK, a Journey to the West Visual Novel
BACKGROUND: A digital illustration of a clothesline tied between a tree and a muckrake. Along the clothesline hangs a necklace of skulls, a monk's cassock, and a tiger pelt.

I've been enjoying Hearthbound a lot. I especially loved the "I'm nobody" inclusion. An unexpected benefit of listening to Hearthbound is that I might finally be ready to read my copy of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey <3

I just finished Hearthbound: An Untelling Of The Odyssey (@jochiang.bsky.social) 🚐🐕 It was exactly what I needed for this week. A fresh and unapologetically queer take on the Ancient Greek tale in the form of an apocalyptic road trip, featuring gorgeous music, and a beautiful, cosy love story.

A poster for Hearthbound: An Untelling of the Odyssey.

An assortment of items on the table, including a set of van keys, cigarettes, a pocket knife, a cup of tea, thread, canned fruit, and mushrooms.

Ella Watts is making Camlann Season 2!@gejwatts.bsky.social · 11mo ago

i feel like with the amount of wonderful love and support we've received from @gejwatts.bsky.social this year that she deserves a #1 Hearthbound Dad mug for xmas or something!!

I'm delighted to once again have been invited to contribute to Tink's Audio Delicacies this year. This is always an excellent playlist of shows to tick off or add to your queue for next year. Mine's audio fiction (ofc): Hearthbound by @jochiang.bsky.social Go listen to the whole list over here!

This month's featured friend is Hearthbound by the incredible Jo Chiang of Stray Lungs! Hearthbound is a folk musical audio drama, set across a post-apocalyptic Great Basin. It's a road trip, a queer love story, and a ballad for ecological restoration. pod.link/1807519201 #audiodrama #recs

A digital painting fanart for Hearthbound. Odessa, a yellow woman is sitting on a log playing an acoustic guitar. She has short black hair with long bangs, a green neckerchief, white shirt, orange jumpsuit with only the bottom part on and big boots. The initials P+O is carved into the side of her guitar. She has a bandage on her arm and cheek and a scar over her eyebrow. Odessa is looking down at the guitar with a calm, wistful expression. A black/blue dog is curled up near her feet sleeping. There is a beat up yellow and green van in the background surrounded by cactus and other desert plants. On the horizon we see looming mesas and mountains. The setting sun casts a orange-red hue over everything. The title of the show is written at the top - HEARTHBOUND: An Untelling of the Odyssey, with the letter O in the words 'Hearthbound' and 'Odyssey' presented as a lamp. The artist's signature is in the bottom left corner.

Paul Norris@pauln1964.bsky.social · last yr.

Thank you so much for listening along and for the lovely words!

I've just listened to the finale of @jochiang.bsky.social's Hearthbound. The entire 10 episodes have been beautifully realised. Who'd have thought relocating the Odyssey to a post-apocalypse US West would work so well? Jo did, & it does. At the last catharsis, though this is no tragedy. *applause*

The HEARTHBOUND finale is here!! Listen now wherever you get your podcasts: pod.link/1807519201/e...

A traditionally and digitally illustrated poster by Hannah Lock. A boot and a two paws steps into a puddle, shining with stars. The text reads: HEARTHBOUND Episode 10: Anagnorisis.

It's the last #audiodramasunday before the Hearthbound finale, so in honor of Odessa and Penelope, I'm featuring some other shows featuring queer love stories (some more romantic than others…):

Sue@sueinthetardis.bsky.social · last yr.

Yes!! 10/10 good trees no notes.

It was once again "looking at some good trees while listening to Hearthbound"- day 🌳

Buckle up friends it's Penelope loving hours!! Listen to Hearthbound, Episode 9 now! pod.link/1807519201/e...

A digital illustration by Dominique Ramsey for Hearthbound, Episode 9: Penelope. An elk with shedding antlers stares out over a rugged peninsula.

This #audiodramasunday, I wanted to feature some shows by my fellow Asian creators out here. As we are not a monolith, everyone brings such an array of specific cultural experiences to the work. Here's to telling more stories, our way.

Sue@sueinthetardis.bsky.social · last yr.

Thanks for letting us keep you company! We highly recommend our listeners go out and about and look at some good trees while listening to Hearthbound! 🌲

I listened to an episode of Wolf 359, Hearthbound, and Hello from the Hallowoods today while doing chores and being out on my walk, and I'm now settling in to stream the Wooden Overcoats liveshow. So many fantastic audio dramas today 💜

New episode! Check out Hearthbound, Episode 8: Antigone for an iconic punk rock mandolin moment. This one holds a very special place in my heart. 🤘🏼 pod.link/1807519201/e...

A digitally illustrated poster for HEARTHBOUND Episode 8: Antigone. Two people in post-apocalyptic gear and getup sit on a bridge made of flying magpies. Behind them is a full yellow moon, a pink night sky, and an alpine lake.
