During this mid-season break, we'd love to introduce you to one of our most favorite shows: The Diaries of Netovicius The Vampire by the wonderful Hugo Martin Pierre! Netovicius is an intimate audio diary of the titular character (that also features a very colorful wider cast) as we follow the 978 year old Neto to his new home and new life in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

Netovicius is currently raising funds for future episodes - so if you've enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the show! If you're a Valorant fan and would like a customized voicemail from Frenchman Chamber himself, or a special voice note from our favorite vampire, you can check out Hugo's Streamily here. You can also support Hugo and the show by spreading the word, recommending Netovicius to your friends or online, and/or dropping a rating & review!

Netovicius or Neto for short is an artist first, a vampire second, but for now he's being kicked out of his historic Beacon Hill, Boston Mass attic apartment and having to relocate to an abandoned building in Woonsocket Rhode Island. After almost 1000 years of life, you'd think he could find a little peace, but it's only a matter of time before the past comes calling. A story about vampires but ultimately about recovery, from trauma, from addictions, even from cults. Brought to you by Hugo Pierre Martin and a cast known for projects like Valorant, Overwatch, Diablo IV and more.

We're working hard to get the next episode of MERCY to you soon! In the meantime, we are super excited to share an episode from our wonderful friends over at The Mechadova Engine! The Mechadova Engine is an upcoming queer sci-fi steampunk audio drama set in a world entirely confined to steam trains in the sky, and features queer, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and disabled characters.

TRANSCRIPT (Turn off browser dark mode): https://ellipsus.com/read/2tES0vyye3PmVjkToCi5pU

SHOW DESCRIPTION: The Mechadova Engine follows Log, who has spent their entire life, as far as they can remember, alone inside a single library train carriage in the sky. Their only knowledge of the outside world is limited to books from a long time ago on earth.

Log has never thought to question their existence or the world outside, until one day their carriage stops. Here, they meet Tinker, a member of a resistance group, who turns their world upside down. 

It's a story about meaningless structures, the power of community, and how knowledge is preserved and retold.

KICKSTARTER: The Mechadova Engine is currently running a Kickstarter campaign which you can check out at the link below. If you have the means, please do consider donating to bring this wodnerful show to life!
