Hi! I’m Eira, and I make Not Quite Dead. This week is the midseason break in Season 4, so there’s no new vampires, I’m sorry. But I wanted to introduce you to one of my other shows, Remnants, in the mean time! If you love piecing together a mystery and going mad with red-string conspiracy boards, plus you’re enthusiastic about history, human decency, and the gays, Remnants is probably going to be right up your alley. It’s a dark fantasy thriller. I’m about to show you the first episode so that you can decide if it’s something you like or not, but the whole 30-episode first season of the show is actually already out, with season two on the way in the next few months. I hope you enjoy it!

Transcript for this episode of Remnants, here: https://hangingslothstudios.com/remnants-transcripts/1-1/

If you enjoyed the first episode of Remnants, you can find the rest by searching ‘Remnants: An Audio drama’ wherever you’re listening right now! If you want to support Not Quite Dead and other projects like Remnants, plus get access to loads of bonus content including creators notes on both of these shows, you can sign up to my patron at patreon.com/hangingslothstudios.
