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!

Hi friends - Deej here with another show we wanted to share.

SO ... I can tell you first of all that a huge number of the folks who make audio drama - including myself - made their way here via the theatre-kid pipeline. And I suspect a lot of our audience is the same. Were you a theatre kid? Did you want to be in theatre, on stage or behind the curtains or maybe building sets, props, costumes ... was that whole theatrical magic something that fascinated you? Well, theatrical magic is what we've got!

Starfall is a fantasy adventure series about a traveling theatre troupe that uses magic to tell their stories, falling into everything from minor mishaps to grand political machinations while they strut their stage and construct their props ... but the show always goes on, before and behind the curtain! And the cast - we're talking an absolute powerhouse of so many of our favourite folks in audio fiction, including a big chunk of the casts of both Moonbase and Waiting For October!

How much more do I need to say before you listen to Starfall? We've got the first episode for you right here, so take a listen (and make sure you keep an ear out for Glenn!) - then go add Starfall in all your podcast apps to continue the story!

And now ... the curtains will part and the stage is revealed!

Today our Crowdfundr shoutout is to Snickerdoodle. Thank you for your support!

And here we are, at the very end of Season One! It’s been quite an adventure, and I want to thank you so much for listening. Everything about this show has been a really personal, very emotional journey for so many of us involved, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us next. After all, remember – we write the story, it doesn’t write us!

Our next steps will be working on the first between-seasons miniseries – which as you’ve heard, might involve the Moon – and then starting to plot out Season Two. But while we’re taking a bit of a well-earned break and then diving in on that, we could use your help too! Your support of the show and participation in our community is just as important. When you share the show with friends, recommend or rate us on social media or your podcast app or places like Podchaser … when you join our Patreon or buy our merch … all of that is incredibly, vitally important and it means the world – all the worlds, really – to us when you do it. So another thank you for that to everyone who participates!

And one last note before we say farewell for a while. It’s a really rough time in the world for so many reasons, and it’s so hard to keep it together and to find ways to keep pushing back. Please, remember that self-care and connecting with others is a big part of resistance. Be good to yourself, be good to the people around you, and know that we are with you. So much love.
