  • New Show from Gideon Media: Ask Your Father

    We are so thrilled to bring you a new show from Gideon Media!!!!

    Lem, a human, and Mikey, an A.I., are piloting the first ever faster than light speed ship when they find themselves twice as far as they meant to go, and without any fuel for a return flight. The two of them communicate with Earth using tiny faster-than-light-speed drives, which carry information for Mikey and questions for Lem from his kids. As they work together to solve the problem, they forge a friendship that could change the course of human history, all while trying to answer the question “how did this happen?” And more importantly… “Why?”


    Written by Sean Williams

    Directed by Jordana Williams

    Featuring Rebecca Comtois, Kevin R Free, Rob Maitner, Barnaby Williams, Marlena Williams and Sean Williams

    Designed by Jeffrey Nils Gardner

    Music by Kent Williams

  • A Show We Love - The Land Whale Murders
    The year is 1899! Bumbling scientists turned private detectives are hot on the
    trail of a sticky mystery involving a nefarious candy corporation among the political intrigue of New York City.
    The Land Whale Murders is a fast and funny comedy podcast whose second season will be told over the course of 13 episodes. The show is inspired by real events and people but with the silliness and absurdity cranked up to
    eleven, making for a surreal and amusing audio experience. It features an over 100 person ensemble cast. The Land Whale Murders explores the issues of
    capitalism, self expression, love, loss, fear, and hope through a zany world and plenty of weird characters.
    The second season picks up where the first left off but is also a standalone story that can be enjoyed by any listener.

  • A Show We Love - Forgive Me
    Father Ben left his congregation in Binghamton, New York, in the cover of night for the smaller, quieter pastures of St. Patrick’s. As our new, young, and at times progressive priest begins to acquiesce to his new surroundings, he finds himself butting heads with the eccentric parishioners who come to him seeking solace and advice. Whether he’s trying to understand Old Margaret’s “usual” confession; parsing out how Tom can better help care for his wife’s pet pig, David; or getting to the bottom of the Christmas Eve Mass Incident, Forgive Me! explores the intertwined lives in Ben’s new community and the funny, sad, and sometimes painful experiences that come out of confession and the Catholic experience.
    Forgive Me! began as a simple idea from series cocreator Jack Marone: to mine the sometimes funny, sometimes awkward, and often confusing anecdotes from his Catholic school upbringing and craft the kind of podcast that could make him laugh and that his still-practicing family members could be proud of. After pitching the idea to Windfall cocreator Bob Raymonda in 2015, the series sat on the back burner until 2018, when Rogue Dialogue’s first show was in postproduction and the team was hungry for new ideas that featured fewer characters but just as much heart.

  • A Show We Love - Where The Stars Fell
    We are so thrilled to be able to present to you a show we love - Where The Stars Fell
    Dr. Edison Tucker is having a very weird life. Not being able to die tends to color things that way. Lucille Kensington is the literary scene’s biggest enigma. That’s just the way she likes it. When the pair find themselves sharing a cabin in the strangest town in America— Jerusalem, OR— they’re prepared for a housemate situation from hell. What they’re not expecting is tidings of a stranger sort: Ed is the antichrist, Lucy her guardian angel, and if they can’t find a way to work together soon, the rapture is set to take first the town, then the world… but neither of them know that yet. Welcome to Jerusalem, OR, where what doesn’t kill you is just another mystery.
