Our WFO miniseries starts in two weeks! We have @noisegoblin.bsky.social doing dialogue edits (and a cool new version of our theme) and @caromincks.bsky.social doing sound design - neither of whom you can hear in this trailer! :D

We're counting down to Sept. 6th and the release of WAITING FOR OCTOBER: TO THE MOON, our first WFO miniseries! Today, we released a rather unusual trailer ... I hope it gets you excited for the show! More info at monkeymanproductions.com/waiting-for-...

This is something I've always wanted to do with MTO, so I'm terribly jealous. So cool!

Moments after talking to @vandreasonable.bsky.social at @tafcon.bsky.social about writing got Ear Wax, I knew I had to talk about The Hyacinth Disaster. It doesn't end as happily as Project Hail Mary, but it trades on the same level of hope and sheer love for other people that Grace and Rocky have.

We missed our Audio Fiction Friday post (damn real job getting in the way) so we're kicking it old school with #AudioDramaSunday. Here's Gavin Gaddis' review of The Hyacinth Disaster. If you're a fan of Project Hail Mary, this...is different. But also similar! www.earwaxmag.com/audio-fictio...

I remember being dismissively assured it wasn’t true, that this crank zillionaire is funding basically unlimited vexatious litigation

If you are in the podcasting and audio drama spaces, you hopefully know how much you owe to the brilliant, hilarious, kind, and generous Cole Burkhardt. It's our turn to give back. 💖 #audiodrama #audiodramas #fictionpodcast #fictionpodcasts #podcaster www.gofundme.com/f/help-cole-...

If you still buy HP stuff, you are financing this.

We're proud to be an LGBTQ+ studio. Now, more than ever, we need queer stories that represent the whole spectrum of our experiences. Trans rights are human rights. It may be the end of pride month, but we're proud to be queer 365 days of the year, and we'll never stop loving our trans siblings 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️

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

Thank you to everyone who came out to our very first #TAFCON! We can't possibly put into words how much it meant to get so much support, and our hearts are full after spending the day surrounded by the most amazing community. So... we'll keep it short and just say... We'll see you in 2027! 💜 ➡️ ❤️

What is happening here? We have a family of weird little guys in my #TAFCON freebies. Wrong answers encouraged. And really good ones might get you a free button if you're here at the con!

Mark your calendars for June 14th! Our comedic action adventure audio drama, "Oblivion Girl" releases the same day as #tafcon Or get it two weeks early, ad-free on our patreon.

Anything officialy con-related today is from Tina, but a lot of the likes and shares are from Deej watching jealously from Toronto. ;)

Don’t get tired of how many lives we need to save. Baraa’s is an important one & one that is incredibly valuable to me. She’s sick in the hospital & her son’s sick too watching her. Let’s make it a priority to boost & give to her.

I’m collapsing from a severe blood infection, hooked to IV fluids in a hospital lacking basic medicine. Donations have stopped. We are left to die in total silence. Look at Ibrahim watching me with pure terror, scared to lose his mom after his sisters. Please donate & help💔😔 tinyurl.com/baraaZ2

Tabling at @tafcon.bsky.social today! Come see us, we're right next to @omniverse.bsky.social ! We have pins for sale, and stickers, prints of our character art, and little resin trinkets for you to take! And, an extrovert. 🤣
