In honour of pride month, I decided to give a few flags a shot!

I tried to match the shades as closely as possible. What do you think?

[hxneyfarm]

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

May storygraph wrap up! A busy month meant not a lot of reading (June will be worse I think), but there were still some gems! Spoiler Alert continues to be cheesy and warm and Sir Cameron was an absolute blast.

reasons why you should listen to the Greater Boston podcast if you like the Harbingers (or vice versa):

Boston :)

magic(al realism)

a vast cast of characters making and regretting bad decisions

trying to make a change in the world

good intentions ≠ positive outcomes

real world problems and politics

unreliable narrators

different perspectives

complicated plot

stuff being hinted at to later become plot-relevant

TAFCON 2026 Unofficial Playlist

I've put together a playlist of audio dramas where at least one creator will be at TAFCON 2026, either in person or virtually.

Did I intend for it to be 34.5 hours long? No. Will I be shuffling it on my road trip to Colorado? Yes. Will you also be shuffling it in the coming weeks? I hope so.

There are going to be a lot of creators at TAFCON and I think it'd be nice to know a little about their shows if you meet any of them (like at the New Creator Meetup or Producer Networking or Wandering Around and Making Friends).

There's a couple of shows here I'm excited to introduce Alexander and Edie to and plenty more I haven't listened to that I'm hoping come up in my shuffle.

The playlist lives on Spotify but here's the exported list for all you non-Spotify people.

Tafcon goodie bag spoilers! This is only a part of what's going in the bags (but it is my favorite part 🥰)!

Picked up some new followers recently, so here's the obligatory post that I am available for audio post production on your audiodrama!

You can pitch your project directly to me right here!

I've been doing this since 2018 and have production credits on over 30 shows including @shelterwoodpod, @noadventurespod, @re-dracula and Re: Carmilla, as well as the Webby nominated Dead Space: Deep Cover. I work in most major DAWs and have over 5 terabytes of sound effects and music, so I'm ready to hop into your production even if you already have an established workflow.

Let's make some great art together!

[noadventurespod]

Hire Brad for stuff!

[holographicva]

What do people want to know about making fiction podcasts? I've been doing this full time for almost seven years so I've probably run into your problem before.

IF YOU HAVE AN AUDIO DRAMA AND YOU WILL BE AT TAFCON PLEASE DROP A COMMENT WITH YOUR SHOW NAME

I wanna make a playlist of pilot episodes to listen to while I’m roadtripping to Colorado
