We're excited to announce that we are partnering with Outtake Productions to work on their new audio drama "In the After."
In the After, the world as we knew it has ended, and those left are adapting as best as they can. Grief is isolating, made heavier by a culture that rushes healing and avoids the unfixable. In the After is a love story of survival, imagining a world that holds people exactly where they are.
"In the After" is currently crowdfunding to support production of its first season. To learn more about and support the show, you can visit their campaign here.

does anyone have suggestions for audio dramas with women as main characters/narrators? i feel like most story podcasts are a lot more focused on male characters
We have a handful of stories with female leads, but for a whole podcast I'd be remiss not to emphasise Liars and Leeches from our good friends at Hemlock Creek Productions (@hemcreekprod)
Their second season is currently in production, so it's an especially good time to check them out!

Marisa and Melissa have been doing audio post-production work for "Kicking the Bucket" ahead of its upcoming July premiere. This new audio drama podcast offers a fresh take on elder care, aging, and end-of-life autonomy through stories that tickle the funny bone and tug at the heart. It is a bold, timely, and hilarious series that sparks conversations, challenges societal norms, and ultimately, redefines what it means to grow old on your own terms.
In the live stream, we’ll be talking about:
🧓🏽 When adult kids start making decisions for aging parents
👶🏻 The fine line between care and infantilization
🌲 Life in a small, aging town
🎧 Plus: how immersive soundscapes bring these stories to life
