#Breathing Space

[boombox-fuckboy]

Do you know any podcasts with transfeminine main characters?

Apologies for the delay. I have a few:

Between Heartbeats: (Urban Fantasy) In a city of incredible abilities and mundane struggle, we follow Sundiata, a time-manipulator struggling to stay employed. During a a quick break from waiting tables to go help in an emergency, she instead finds herself caught in a bizzare mystery. Unfortunately release seems to have stalled following the first episode, but I'm eagerly awaiting its return.

Inn Between: (Fantasy, Adventure) What the adventuring heroes get up to at the tavern, between the grand adventures. Cleverly fills the listener in on the adventures using "previously on" and "next time on" segments. You'll need to wait (or jump) to Season 3 to meet our transfem lead, but she is an absolute delight.

Interference: (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance) A human tabletop podcaster and an orc researcher get their broadcast signals crossed between worlds, and start a dialogue. Cross-reality research, and a budding romance, ensue.

The Magnus Protocol: (Horror) Seeking employment, Sam gets a job working with his friend Alice for a bizzare little government office. The work? Night shifts listening to, and then cataloguing, bizzare and unsettling material trawled from the internet. Despite Alice's warnings, Sam may be getting a little too invested.

The Night Post: (Supernatural) Concerning the conscripted nighttime couriers/postal workers of Gilt City, and the otherworldy encounters they have on the job.

PSST: Paranatural Support Services Team: (Supernatural) Struggling with a supernatural entity or haunting encounter? The PSST's got you covered. Meet The Agent at the other end of the phone as she gives advice, unravels mysteries, and tries to work out just how long it's been since she went home.

The Silt Verses: (Horror) In a modern world where gods are abundant, frequently both commercialised and restricted, two devotees of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage. You'll meet the character in question a few episodes in.

Breathing Space: (Sci-fi, Space Western, Anthology) Included more as a special mention (as this is an anthology and the leads change every episode), Breathing Space is an array of stories set in the early age of space exploration that leans hard into the "Western" part of "Space Western". A not-insignificant number of the stories feature trans characters. If you don't vibe with the first story, do me a favour and listen to the second before you bail.

Additions are, of course, always welcome.

Breathing Space hits 100,000

When we started this project three years ago, it would never have occurred to us that we'd be dealing with any number with this many digits.

But since we're here, let's talk about the numbers.

As of right now, we've released 49 mainline episodes and 17 bonus content episodes. That's nearly two solid days of audio total. There's still 10 more to be released.

For what it takes to make this show: We've had at least 16 different writers and 6 audio editors and -- this is the bonkers one -- 134 individual people have voiced characters in this show. (Of course, several people are in multiple columns in there).

It has been an absolute honor and a joy to work with all of these amazing people to bring this project to life and we hope you'll continue to listen through the rest of the show.

I’m not sure if this phrase has been coined before, but I really enjoy it.

I found out this morning that (after having to plead my case and present on why it’s relevant to me) I was accepted into a course at Harvard called “Queering the World: Dismantling Heteronormativity in Congregations, Communities, and Organizations” and it’s been life-changing. - Bradley Talbot

[Accessibility Text]

A series of slides that read:

“This is a Breathing Space

This is NOT a “Safe Space”

I try to avoid using the phrase “Safe Space” because I used to think church was safe, until it wasn’t. I used to think my relationships were safe, until they weren’t. I used to think school was safe, until it wasn’t. And even when I’ve found myself most comfortable, I would soon discover how quickly safety can be jeopardized.

And now I understand more why this phrase doesn’t resonate with me. “Safe” implies a destination, a fixed point that requires no need for improvement or challenge or growth.

The reality for many marginalized people is that safety is never fully realized.

Therefore, the pursuit of inclusion must have no destination. Because prejudice and evil are ever evolving, the process of inclusion must continuously progress as well.

I prefer the imagery of “Breathing Space” because breathing is in the moment, active, and life-giving. There may be tension but it is ongoing. It’s flexible. It allows room for all emotion to be expressed. And then it moves on to the next moment.

While this space may strive for safety, I can’t promise that. Though I try not to, I will make mistakes, offend, perpetuate systems of oppression, and wrongly harm others.

What I can promise is to be present. To be alive. To be here, sitting with you. Listening to you.

Breathing with you.“

If I had a nickel for every time I played an aromantic character with a Southern drawl, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's pretty cool that it's happened twice.

#eeler's choice #and the upcoming season of #breathing space

[scottpaladin]

@breathingxspace S4 casting call is open, I need a ton of actors for Fable of the Family, my miniseries. So I'm doing character spotlights on socmed. I will try to keep spoilery info off the posts, but there is some in the casting call. Also, prep for slightly unhinged energy.

First up is Captain Amity Archer (She/her, primary role).

Commander of the USS Arlington.

Warrior Poet of the First Fleet. Commodore Grandma.

A six foot smoke show with Big Mom Energy.

Authorative but warm, a leader. Prone to quoting poetry and loving bad redlines.

"Let it be known that when a call for help came from the void, the USS Arlington responded, and came carrying a light in her heart. Amity Archer, out."

Find her casting lines here:

🧹!

OOOH I immediately knew the answer to this!! (If you want to join in, the game is here!)

🧹- best podcast to do chores to It's @breathingxspace baby!!!! This is the cosiest most lovely sprawling sci-fi western with contemporary ethics and queer representation you ever did see. It's pro-union! It's anti-colonial! It's very trans and very gay! And it's an anthology series set in the same universe - so listening to episodes feels like coming home, but it's pretty low commitment. If I know I'm going to be doing chores, I love wrapping Breathing Space around me like a warm blanket. (Though do note, some episodes are heavier and darker than others - always mind the content warnings!)

My name is already based on a podcast but that makes the challenge of finding a different one extra fun xD

Best you specified as if you hadn't specified I probably would've just given you The Magnus Archives. I'm so sure I've heard another podcast with a jar full of ashes but all I can think of is this one scene from:

Breathing Space: A Sci-Fi Western Space Anthology

(Alt: Breathing Space Fading Frontier)

Sci-Fi (Space Western) • Anthology

Exactly what it says on the tin, a space western anthology that makes the most of every single word in that descriptor. All episodes are set in the same broad time in the same universe and you will hear tidbits and connections between these stories, as well as the delicious lore each builds. Some are feel-good, some are heartbreaking, plenty give commentary on the world we ourselves exist in, one is possibly the most fucked up piece of horror I've ever encountered. Also the theme song is, very good. If you don't like episode 1, stick along for episode 2 before you quit.

#breathing space #breathing space fading frontier #ask game #That other pod will come to me and I'll be so furious I am sure #anyway pretty sure different podcatchers show different art so you're getting all four just in case

Want to learn how to swear in Mahknovchik?

I've been working on a conlang for @breathingxspace for a couple seasons now, and S4 has presented opportunities to develop a bunch of profanity!

Angry with someone?

Call them ne’werkem! (an unproductive member of society)

Or ne'celja! (Useless)

Or maybe say that you think they're ne’khrabroste. (A coward, lit. without courage)

Even MORE angry?

Say they're marzvats promandetion! (an untrained timewaster)

Or angra neftyanye! (willfully-ignorant trash)

Or really go all out and say someone is prom’det ne’celja ne’werkem! (a time-wasting, useless, non-productive member of society)

Angry AND poetic?

Try "Ne’uchit ultod’t oni to tukrasit." (Lit. "they can't teach a child to make art." Fig. they can't do the most basic & obvious things.)

Or say "Britsyaway oni konhae." (Lit. "They shave in the cafeteria." Fig. they are selfish at the expense of society.)

Want still MORE Mahknovchik?

The language primer can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12jSaLXhT_qH4whWAwr5vPFpK2VIwcz5dxDpPixasDXo/edit?usp=sharing

And the dictionary here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13oSzpk5L272fRLrL-l8mo_yUlGA5aOc0zHswPeFsv98/edit?usp=sharing

(Sorry, I haven't written out all the IPA yet. Working on it.)

#breathing space #breathingxspace #conlang #constructed languages #Mahknovchik is a constructed language WITHIN the Breathing Space setting as well #it was deliberately made to be an independent language that could fully express anarchic ideas and thoughts #yes it's Pravic ok #not the Pravic people have already made #but spiritually it's the same thing #The Dispossessed changed my brain

[pocketfullofarchivists]

you know how in breathing space everyone just know the pronouns?

I assume it’s like in murderbot universe, but it’s so normal it’s not mentioned

especially with differences in media and also android/human perspectives

#breathing space #bsff #actually you know what #everyone who’s into #murderbot diaries #should listen to breathing space

[indelible-colouring-markers]

Anyone else picture Heck as SRPoP Scorpia with extra arms or is that just me
