Waiting For October

We finally meet our antagonist; a plot is hatched with mixed results; but in the end, all is resolved.

Transcript: https://monkeymanproductions.com/2026/10/wfo-ttm-e3-transcript/

Thank you for listening to Waiting For October: To The Moon! Our slightly sci-fi, but still monster-world miniseries. This episode was produced by D.J. Sylvis, Tina Case, and Robin Regalado. D.J. wrote the scripts; Trace Callahan wrote the music and did our dialogue editing; Caroline Mincks did our sound design. Our To The Moon cover art is by Clare Bernik. 

This episode featured Robin Regalado as Karo, Tina Case as Yvonne, Cass McPhee as Hodag, Sarah Rhea Werner as Bem, Jenna Rose as Milamo, Shannon Perry as NM-3, Caroline Mincks as Mx. Hullabaloo, and the dulcet tones of Josh Rubino as Colonel Anders Nielsen. 

And what comes next for our monster heroes? (Okay, Vonnie’s human, but we don’t hold it against her.) We’ve been busy behind the scenes arguing plot points and writing scripts for Waiting For October Season Two - so there should be more news about that very soon! Until then, Keep Watching The … umm, October!

Hi folks! I hope you've enjoyed the first episode of our new miniseries. We're in-between weeks now, and it's a great time to talk a little about one of my favourite shows! Sidequesting is a fun little low-stakes audio drama about the random adventures in life, doing good in the world, meeting good people, and not missing out on the beauty still out there. Tal is one of my favourite people and they've made a show that's so easy to adore - and I've even gotten to write for it a couple of times! So stick around and listen, see what you think, and then go look up "Sidequesting" in your favourite podcast app and keep on listening! All the best, and we'll be back next week with more To-The-Moon miniseries action! 

This is episode 3.8, Silent Treatment, in which a whole town is given the silent treatment, and Rion tries to open up some communication. Transcript here. This episode was written and produced by Tal Minear with dialogue editing by Brad Colbroock. Eryx was voiced by Stephen Indrisano. Cella was voiced by Bonni Calderwood-Aspinwall. Sequoyah was voiced by Tal Minear. The voice of Rion was Tal Minear.

⁠⁠Sidequesting⁠⁠ is a fantasy podcast about avoiding the main plot. It follows an adventurer who’s willing to help anyone out, as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard that everyone keeps talking about.

If you like indie audio fiction, new takes on fantasy tropes, lighthearted stories, queer joy, or avoiding the main plots of life, you'll love Sidequesting! You can find out more about the show and support them on ⁠⁠kickstarter⁠⁠ by going to ⁠⁠sidequestingpod.com⁠⁠.

Funding this production supports indie art and queer creatives in a world where that support is increasingly hard to find. If you've been looking for lighthearted family-friendly fantasy stories with modern representation, you've found it! Listen to Sidequesting on your favorite podcast app, and don't forget to check out the crowdfunding campaign at ⁠⁠sidequestingpod.com⁠⁠!

We're back with one more little chat / Q&A post-S1, this time with Deej, our sound designer Caroline Mincks, and our composer for the show Trace Callahan! All things audio are discussed, analyzed, joked about, and explained away before your very ears.

Your Waiting For October Producers are: D.J. Sylvis, Tina Case, Sarah Mueller, and Robin Regalado!

This should be the end of your Waiting For October Season 1 content! We'll be moderately silent for a while, as Deej writes and then we work on producing the first between-seasons miniseries, taking us to October's Moon! We'll see if there are any callbacks to another moon in another universe ... ;)

Welcome, listeners - Deej here, and we've got another one of our favourite shows to share with you - and this one should definitely connect with fans of October! Hi Nay - you've heard of Hi Nay already, haven't you? If not, go find it in your podcast apps right now while I keep going! Hi Nay is a Filipino-led folk horror anthology podcast set right here in my city, Toronto - where the main character, Mari, is doing everything in her considerable powers to stop dangerous supernatural events across the city, from ghostly possessions to cursed items to occultists banding against her. And it's more than just a horror story - Hi Nay also dives deep into the life and history of Filipinos and the challenges of the immigrant experience. You can feel it all intensely and immediately from the first episode, and I know you'll be as captivated as I've been if you keep going from there. Take a listen, right here and right now, mayyyybe with the lights on to be safe ... but then go continue the story on their feed! Here's Hi Nay!
