A Ninth World Journal

What Will Be Here is a sci-fi audio drama about living on a doomed earth and building things anyway. In it, five friends send a rocket to space with a collection of recordings on it, documenting the world's decline, their experiences living on a doomed earth, the stories they want to tell, and their efforts in building a rocket to get this message to the stars. They wonder what their world will have become by the time their message is listened to. What will be left of a planet that has destroyed itself? What will be left of the people who lived there? What will become of their stories? What will be here?

At its core, this show is about living and creating when things feel pointless. It's a story that came out of the pandemic, and the landscape in which this story was written and produced greatly influenced how it turned out. What Will Be Here? is set on earth 200 years in the future, where large-scale crises are fully normalized. But despite the bleak backdrop, this story is one of hope - of overcoming challenges, of making things that might be temporary, but also things that might be launched into space and continue on forever. The experience of the characters in What Will Be Here? mirrors the experience of the cast and crew; both creating something new against a background of tragedy, and neither knowing quite where it will end up.

They thought they were searching for a missing girl. But amateur adventurers Gwen, Tobias, and Quentin must darken many dangerous doorways to unravel a deeper mystery--and some doors cannot be closed once opened. From the producers of Girl in Space comes Omen, a fantasy audio drama featuring spellcraft, swashbuckling, and more than a few sinister secrets.

Omen is a new fantasy audio drama from Executive Producer Sarah Rhea Werner, creator of the award-winning sci-fi audio drama Girl in Space. Omen features positive, relationship-driven storytelling about found family, pirates, and rampaging demons delivered through inclusive and relatable dialogue without relying too heavily on high fantasy tropes. The show's tone is exciting, perilous, friendly, and smarmy—all brought to life by a diverse cast of phenomenal voice actors.

You can listen to Omen at www.omencast.com or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
