This is all speculative right now; season 2 will only happen if we can raise production funds and get the right writing team. But the more writers who say they're keen on getting involved, the more likely it is the season will go ahead!
Also, if you answer the optional fee question, please be honest and don't lowball yourself! The question is there to help us budget, not to screen anyone out.
Crowdfunding @inyourbenevolence season 2 is the priority this year, but I have a few other audio drama projects in development as well – here's the rundown of what they all are and where they're at. Let me know which you'd most like to listen to!
The first ever I Need A Miracle live show is happening at @audiodramahub Hubfest 2025! It's on 1 November at 7pm GMT, in High Wycombe, UK and livestreaming online.
We're doing a never-before-produced episode titled Skip to the End, written by Matt Boothman ( @merelymatt ) and performed by Marta Da Silva (aka @nanaluvren; Sherlock & Co., The Silt Verses, The Road of Shadows) and Benjamin May (Alice in Wonderland and many other audiobooks for Audible).
Yep – two performers in one episode. Twice as many as any previous episode!
You can get tickets for the whole day in person, just the evening live shows in person, or livestreaming.
The 4th annual festival where creators both established and emerging can meet, mingle and learn from the event and each other.
"As a person allergic to religion, I had my doubts. I was wrong. It's fab. Great writing and acting, made even better by stellar production. And don't be scared off by it not being "full cast." For this show, it doesn't need to be."
- Evo Terra
Evo Terra gave I Need A Miracle a glowing review in The End, the directory of audio drama series that are complete, with all episodes available (no starting a series and finding it's podfaded, or speeding through all the episodes then waiting months for the next one).
And, well. Season 1 of I Need A Miracle certainly is complete. But more desires are straining to be heard.
We're planning to crowdfund a second season this year, and if we succeed, you'll get to hear what happens when we let a whole raft of new writers loose in this already unpredictable world.
Faith-based, religious stories of all denominations, sects, and whatnot.
I Need A Miracle is in this new list from The End, along with lots of other (finished) audiodramas with religious themes.
I always say I Need A Miracle is more about need than religion or faith ... but I also have to admit that Thoughts and Prayers would definitely work as an alternative title for the show.

Dad's taking a photo a day of the same landscape all this year, to document the changing of the seasons. Mum interviews him about it in the new newsletter. There's some @inyourbenevolence season 2 news in there too.
In this original audio drama podcast, each episode is a prayer, some prayers are answered, and a prayer granted can upend the world.
For fans of
Each episode of I Need A Miracle is a short monologue. A new character every episode. Never the same character twice. Always addressing a plea to a listening deity – which never makes a sound.
Play god
You, the listener, stand in for a silently listening god. Hear brazen demands for divine intervention and vulnerable, secret pleas for deliverance. Whose requests would you grant and why? Does anyone deserve a miracle?
Play detective
Which pleas are granted? How does the listening being decide? What are the Upheavals that regularly wrack this world? What threatens to rise from the Depths? And can any being with ultimate power truly be benevolent?
Play the heartstrings
I Need A Miracle is all about the many kinds of wanting, and the many ways of asking for help. How would you make your case to an omnipotent being who grants some miracles but not others, based on ineffable criteria?
