I love when I start a new season of The White Vault and meet new characters who will definitely not experience anything bad.

PODCAST INTRODUCTION: From This Mouth That Bleeds

a retro-mecha cyberpunk sapphic audio drama (coming soon!)

Blurb

"Humanity took to the stars and left us for dead." Lorelei knows the end. Has seen it flicker along the edges of her home, catch fire to everything she's ever known. Has felt it gnaw its way into her bones, watching as the last safety ship glinted starlight in the sky. Lorelei knows the end. And she knows everything after, too. Lieutenant Lorelei Reeves is a first-generation, three-star pilot for the United Forces of the Red Remembrance. She is the only pilot capable enough to helm the UFRR's greatest mystery; Acheilus, an antiquated shark mecha from before The End. It is a time of peace; the bitterness from the Coalition of The Last Frontier's abandonment has long since diluted away in favor of lucrative trade deals from space - goods that could only benefit the UFRR's longevity underseas. It is a good deal, kind, even. Generous. But Lorelei cannot help but taste the tang of deceit between her teeth. The sickly stick of rot amplifies after she spots another shark mecha circling the edges of UFRR's water space. Sleek black and glinting metal - a convincing imitation of the UFRR's mechanics. The problem with this: Lorelei captains the only shark in the entire fleet.

Themes

loss, grief, being homesick for a home that no longer exists, loud-mouthed pilots, and trauma-stricken lesbians.

My hands shake. Admiral Thetis was right about one other thing, too.  I had been gone for a long time; I'd been gone for months. Months of an endless blue that pervaded my eyes, an infinitum of mouthless words, and moments to think and move as I pleased. I'd rediscovered creatures that hadn’t been seen in years, listened as whales called through, and laughed when other sharks circled Acheilus, trying to communicate. It might have been the closest thing to peace that I've ever felt.  Peace does not exist in the lion’s den— a name I've mocked HQ with —  instead, the oppressive nature of fear lies thick along the walls of the hull. Fear is every step you take, it is every beating heart, every conspired whisper. It exists within the hollows of my cells, in every ill-intended look cast my way. I am fear and they make me believe it.

GODDAMN I DIDN’T THINK I COULD LOVE A PODCAST AS MUCH AS THE PENUMBRA BUT THE BRIGHT SESSIONS REALLY JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND FUCKED ME UP

MY FAVOURITE URBANISM / ARCHITECTURE PODCASTS THIS WEEK (As in, my pick of those I’ve listened to this week, some of which are a few months old).

1. Monocle: The Urbanist’s WAS THAT ON PURPOSE?  An episode on the theme of new cities custom-built from scratch. 2. APA’s PLANNING THE AUTONOMOUS FUTURE. One of many recent podcasts on Urban Design issue de rigeur: autonomous vehicles. Guest Jeff Tumlin discusses what he thinks could happen if AVs aren’t shared, why we need to prioritise space-efficient modes of transportation, and ‘why planners need to take sprawl seriously when planning for automated vehicles.’ 3. Monocle: The Urbanist’s THAT’S RUBBISH. As a topic, waste management might not have the glossy sci fi appeal of driverless cars, but it’s no less significant, and this is an entertaining episode, looking at informal recyclers in South Africa, free leftover food fridges in Paris, and Vienna’s super-popular rubbish collection team. 4. Failed Architecture’s CITY GAMEPLAY: THE INFLUENCE OF VIDEO GAMES ON OUR URBAN EXPERIENCE. Thanks to @hellokittyist for introducing me to this great new series. This episode is characteristically thorough, well researched and inspiring.
