This is Jason Markiewitz, owner, director, writer, voice actor, etc. of Markiewitz Audioworks, our production of Three Christmas Trees follows the life of a young boy from his early youth, where he receives a card that has this beautiful Christmas tree on it, and some of the things that transpire around this time where he ultimately doesn’t get to see that tree but longs after it, all the way through his adulthood where once again he brings his new bride to see the tree of his youth, and then as he gets older and nearing his deathbed where he recollects the Christmas trees of his youth. It’s a heartwarming story that follows this young boy's life, where the major moments are captured by the beauty and the majesty of Christmas trees. The entire production includes sounds and music to help the listener follow along with what’s going on, but the blending style of narrative along with the vignettes give it a unique style to this particular production and one that I think really helps tell this story in a very unique way. I certainly hope you enjoy it.

"I'm Sorren, and I’m a producer on The Attic Monologues, which is a urban fantasy horror audio drama about fate, friends-to-lovers, metanarratives and the importance of feathered friends.

This is Episode 21, or Season 2, Episode 1, “If This Be Magic,” which follows Protagonist Nyx after learning that the monologues they’ve been reading for the past months as audition practice have been magically trapping people within the words, frozen in time. Meanwhile, their best friend Bella grapples with the guilt of having kept this secret from them for so long.

From the whole Attic Monologues team, we hope you enjoy the show, and thanks for listening!"

cw: All episodes contain content warnings in the shownotes, but the show as a whole deals heavily with mental health themes, including reference to eating disorders, depression, and mania.

Hi, this is Eli Ramos, creator of Under the Electric Stars. Under the Electric Stars is a cyberpunk adventure about Metropolis West, one of the last cities standing after a nuclear war. Caine Reyes, the fastest driver in the Metropolis, has been trying to pay back the debt their family fell into years ago. After their bot gets broken, Caine runs into the rebel group Zero Zero and joins the rising revolution. This episode is S2E10: Recall, which is pretty far into our second season--I chose it because it dives into the backstory of Caine and their bot, Jet, and it answers some questions about what their lives were like before the events of the show. It also highlights a lot of themes that I think are really significant to the series, so I hope you enjoy. Before you listen, just wanted to give the trigger warnings, which are dehumanization, abuse (physical, emotional manipulation/gaslighting, discussion of withholding food), memory loss, and extensive discussion on death and its impact. There's also extensive medical discussion including discussions of memory loss and ableism. I hope that informs your choice on whether or not you feel prepare to listen to this episode. Thanks.

Hi this is Meghan Griffin, the Creative Director over at Welcomed to Reddington. Reddington is a fictional town in New Hampshire where the citizens all think they've been in town for awhile, if not their entire lives. Various folks have been tasked with mandatory community service by the shadowy, secretive Town Council. Guided by the Council's mysterious spokesperson known only as "Wendy,"who I also play, the citizens start to realize their small town is not quite as normal or safe as they originally believed. Using new found coworkers, or dare I say friends?, can anyone see past the distractions to the bigger mystery, before it's too late?

Welcome to Reddington is a multi-narrative, audio improv podcast uniquely using Evil Hat's Monster of the Week's gaming system as guided improv. While we do roll dice, we edit to focus more on storytelling. In other words, you won't find dice rolls or game system talk here.

The episode you're about to listen to is Mystery 8.5, Part III, The He-Man Prophecies - Tendril, Love, and Care. Normal male human werewolf CiCi Stratos is putting together a team of fighters to go save their friend Flergie, the three eyed psychic green tiger who they've recently learned is still alive, though trapped in a laboratory. The last episode of this mystery ended with CiCi eating a magical rice krispy treat made by Nilus that's having some strange side effects. Enjoy!

"Hi, my name is Christian Powlesland, and alongside co-creator Harvey Badger, we make The Chronicles of Wild Hollow. It’s a musical fantasy adventure series, with epic set-piece drama, oddball comedy, a cinematic orchestral score and original songs throughout. Oh, and all of our characters are talking animals.

Our first two releases in 2021 and 2022 were trilogies beginning the main story of our show, each following a separate protagonist - Fandango Boursin, the mouse bounty hunter, and Artemis Gray, the fox smuggler. This year, however, we were excited to do something a bit different. We wrote Wild Hollow Shorts, a six-part miniseries where each episode, we focused on a different character or location from the main show, and put them centerstage. We were able to play around with different narrative devices, as well as shine additional light on some of our favourite characters.

The episode we’re submitting to the Audio Verse Awards this year is called The Stork and the King. It was our final instalment in the Wild Hollow Shorts series, released in April 2023, and focuses on a mother telling her daughter a bedtime story. We wanted to give Wild Hollow its own origin story, so we wrote this in the style of a fable, giving a mythical insight of how this epic land may have come to be.

All music you hear in this episode was composed by myself. I also did the sound design. I want to very quickly thank Eleanor Kane and Heather Gourdie for their voice work in this episode.

Hope you enjoy."

Hey, this is Dexter, the showrunner of October Jones and Fish with Legs. This is season 2 episode 1: Meanwhile Back on the Blimp. It's mostly focused on our team of villains lead by the two-headed snake, Simon and Sarfunkel. And they are collecting the four elemental creatures-- including the fish from the title-- so they can release a big evil monster. I think that's everything you need. Theme song also gives you a summary. Thank you for your time.

"Hello! My name is Abigail Eliza. I wear all the hats for Back Again, Back Again – if there’s something happening in the show, that’s me doing it!

Back Again, Back Again is a narrative portal fantasy about ex-prophecy children, the end of adventures, and queer girls with swords. It follows the story of Ilyaas, who, on the night of her seventeenth birthday, gets portal-magicked away to a world called Rhysea – where she is told that she is part of a prophecy to save the country. The podcast picks up at the traditional end of all ""portal fantasy"" stories: prophecy completed, Ilyaas must readjust to the ""real world"" while still remembering everything she's seen.

This is season two, episode four – Nonbeliever. In this episode, the king’s palace has just been raided by the rebels (called the fretim in the show), rescuing Ilyaas and Rhia. However, Ilyaas has spent the entirety of the first season on the side of the kings due to a lack of information and an inability to understand the common language, Rhysean, something that also comes up a lot in this episode. Ilyaas, who mostly speaks English, is having to work all of her thoughts into a language she is, objectively, pretty shit at. Callia, who speaks not only Rhysean but a few of its dialects, has very little patience for this, especially as she mostly still views Ilyaas as a traitor. Ilyaas thinks Callia is a part of the big prophecy in Rhysea. Callia doesn’t really think of Ilyaas at all, if she can help it.

The Rhysean that you hear happening in the show – especially in this episode – is a conlang that I created for the sake of the show. As someone who works in foreign language learning and teaching, the politics of language are everywhere, and it’s really cool to be able to explore them in a fantasy world.

Thank you so much for listening – or, as we say in Rhysea, gratinoc!"
