POV: he's begging the new chairman to tell him who's dismantling his career, one careful cut at a time — and he has no idea it's you.

Should have cut out her tongue. Stop her goddamn whispering.
-Dominus, Episode 2
Fides, the housekeeper, and Gordon, the groundskeeper.
Fides is a nurturing and caring figure who's friends with everyone in the house, so her arming up is equivalent to:
Gordon is less shocking because he's the one who got everyone the guns.
I'm both excited and terrified that October creeps ever closer, but I'm happy to share the progress with all of you!

Them: it’s just a song why are you crying
The song:
Just been pondering the common phenomenon of creators/writers of fiction podcasts playing characters in their own shows. All the examples I can think of fall into 3 main categories:
(a) Writers casting themselves as a main character (or even as the only voiced character), for example:
Beth Crane as Kilner in We Fix Space Junk
HR Owen as The Presenter in Monstrous Agonies and The Traveller in Travelling Light
Jonathan Sims as Jonathan Sims in The Magnus Archives
Lauren Shippen as Sam in The Bright Sessions and Harper Two Thousand and Late
Leon Egan as Leo Quinn in Tell No Tales
(b) Writers casting themselves as fun supporting roles, for example:
Chris Sugden as Chief Inspector Keller and Jen Sugden as Mrs. Pomlingan in Victoriocity
David K Barnes as Dr. Henry Edgware in Wooden Overcoats
(c) Writers casting themselves as roles with an interesting meta implication, for example:
Alexander Danner as the Narrator in Greater Boston (Jeff Van Dreason as Chuck Octagon could arguably fall into (b) or (c) since he is both a fun side character and a reporter who delivers information about the narrative)
Emily St James, Christopher Dole and Sara Ghaleb having cameos as the Editors in Arden S1
There's not really a broader point to this post except that I like thinking about patterns. A writer acting in their own story is so common in fiction podcasts and comparatively rare in film, TV, theatre etc. This is obviously down to a combination of various factors including the low-budget independent nature of many fiction podcasts and the way that so many of them are labours of love by people who are willing to wear many hats.
But I enjoy noticing the different ways that creators seem to have fun with it, either by embodying the story they've written, creating ridiculous characters to enjoy playing, or giving thematic resonance to the fact that they are acting in the show they created. I'd be particularly interested if anyone is aware of any other examples of (c)...
Why you should listen to The Glass Darkly:
The Glass Darkly is a mystery horror podcast about Jason Kaida, whose life is disrupted by a cursed mirror that keeps reappearing in his apartment. His obsession with investigating it will lead him deep into a web of possession, doppelgangers, secret societies, and the fracturing of reality itself.
This is an all-queer cast and crew with an original live ambient score. It's surrealist, it's got a complex mystery plotline that'll hook you right in, it's got themes of connection, humanity (and loss of it), and did I mention the main character is trans! Perfect for fans of Alice Isn't Dead, Twin Peaks, The Magnus Archives, Limetown, Solaris, Video Palace, and anyone who likes weird doppelganger media.
It's also fairly new- only 3 episodes out so far- so you can listen along with everyone from the beginning and get sucked in as it comes out :)
The Glass Darkly is intended for mature audiences and contains disturbing content. This content is related to body horror, gore, unreality (not directed at the listener), psychological horror, religious trauma, abuse, violence, and mental health.
