Hello, dear listeners. Despondent that the Kingmaker Histories isn't currently releasing? Of course you are. But luckily, there's an easy fix for that. During our between-season break, we're going to be sharing a few audio dramas with you that we think you'll really, really love. This month we're sharing Give Me Away by Gideon Media.
Graham Shapiro has reached that age where his marriage is falling apart, his kids are moving on and he’s not sure what he’s supposed to do with the rest of his life. That’s when an alien spaceship - called “The Ghosthouse” - lands in the Nevada desert... and it’s screaming. It is housing thousands of alien prisoners who are being stored as digital information and the only way to help them escape is for humans to take them out and put them in their own brains. Graham decides, this is what the rest of his life could be.

Hello, dear listeners. Despondent that the Kingmaker Histories isn't currently releasing? Of course you are. But luckily, there's an easy fix for that. During our between-season break, we're going to be sharing a few audio dramas with you that we think you'll really, really love. This month we're sharing Eeler's Choice by Lou Sutcliffe and Daisy McNamara.

"No respect for the sea, for the living things in it, for what's owed. They're fishing in the eel breeding grounds now, the fools."

Eeler's Choice is a maritime horror fantasy podcast set in Eskmouth, a small coastal town whose economy has lived and died on the hunting of the Great Eels for generations. As demand for product has increased, so have the catches... but even the generosity of the sea has its limits, and all debts must come due.
