if tma fans want something new to get their teeth into that feels a bit more independent try listening to clockwork bird i know i know new thing scary but it’s gay its sci if it’s set in the future and it’s about a corrupt company reanimating and torturing the dead to create technology that can completely solve disability and it’s got lesbians

Oh my god!! Today, a whole three years after it finished, Clockwork Bird has hit 100,000 downloads!!
Tumblr media
As my first ever show, it's a bit rough and ready, but I'm so delighted it has continued to have a dedicated little audience ever since its release in 2020-2021.
Although its growth has been slow and it's younger sibling SBR is now five times its size, I couldn't be prouder of this show, or more grateful for the people who engage with it. Making this show was a real journey. I sort of started making audio dramas simultaneous with starting to listen to them. It was lockdown, I couldn't find an agent for my novel, I was desperate to share my stories, and audio drama was the perfect medium. It's a unique and fascinating medium for storytelling which has so much to offer.
I'm so delighted that the audio drama space exists and that it has been a place where my stories have flourished and thrived and found excited, engaged audiences. I'm honoured to see developments in this space and meet storytellers pushing its boundaries. As this creative medium matures, I'm excited to see how new and experienced storytellers alike develop the format and use it to shape the stories they want to tell. It's such an exciting thing to be involved in, and to have been involved in over the last few years.
There will doubtless be more Feelings on Main in the next few days as SBR and NQD are BOTH poised to hit exciting milestones too.
I hope you all have a lovely rest of your day, and remember, folks: be a freak. I love you <3

I love that fiction podcast creators always support each other it's great. But I can't keep listening to amazing trailers and then deal with not being able to devour everything at once 🫠🫠
I need my brain to be capable of parallel computing ASAP

REC: Clockwork Bird
“A philosophical horror podcast about a missing cyborg and the people looking for him. Robin Jaeger is the most synthetic man in the world. And he’s possibly been legally dead for over a decade. Shelly Croft is putting the pieces together, hoping the trail to Robin Jaeger will also lead to her finding her ex-girlfriend, who was obsessed with the company who made Robin’s limbs, and has also disappeared.” (x)
30 episodes / av. 15/25 mins apiece
this is genuinely one of my favorite audiodramas of all time. it truly makes the most of the medium, and the narrative is perfectly paced to allow each character to shine without distracting from the horizontal movement of the plot.
the overall balance of the story is admirable. robin is the fascinating center of the mystery, thoroughly haunting the narrative, but protagonist shelly really holds her own. she is not merely present as a means of unveiling someone else’s story; in fact, her personal drama is inextricably tangled in robin’s obscurity in a way that feels very natural — rather than forced — and provides a reasonable explanation for the risks that she continues to take. at no point should you find yourself skeptically asking “why is she bothering?” it’s clear there’s a compelling interest, and you will be dying to find out what it is.
additionally: my personal favorite part of listening to first-timer indie AD is when you get the chance to hear the technical skills of the creator improving over the course of the show. i find it so inspirational. this was a great example of that, and in fact, those improvements follow through to the creator’s next (unrelated) show, Spirit Box Radio!
the premise of this story alone raises a number of hairy ethical questions, and none of them are hand-waved away. to really appreciate this story you have to be willing to approach medical ethics including euthanasia, themes of suicide and self harm, and corporate usurpation of human bodily autonomy.
this story originated as a concept for a novel and you can tell just how gorgeously crafted it is. i for one cannot wait for creator eira to get published someday.
__
similar to: this story is unique in a very good way. other fragmented sci-fi mysteries like Janus Descending might tickle your fancy, or the ethical quandaries of Red Valley and BBC’s Body Horror. but i can’t think of another audiodrama that handles this brand of grief quite so poetically. feel free to point me to some.

Part of my Able promotion development with his new hat + feathers. He gets a big hat because he’s a good boy. :)
Able takes in one of Gazpaccio’s personal clockwork birds as a pet sometime after his death. He keeps it to remember his father by, and it’s useful for delivering messages and the like.

Nothing like a short sci-fi horror mystery podcast about the horrors of the healthcare system, or something like that.

Our supporters on Patreon just got a new episode of our patreon exclusive bts podcast!!
Tumblr media
This month, I'm chatting about @remnantspod and the bonus content which will come along with it, the future of @notquitedeadpod (including some bonus stuff to expect and plans for a spin off!), touching base about @spiritboxradio bonus content, why Twelvelms is moving at such a glacial pace, and also some advance notice about plans for 2025, which will mark 5 years since I started making audio dramas and will have the five year anniversaries of the launches of both Clockwork Bird and SBR, each to be marked in their own special ways. 
I hope you enjoy!!

I can't finish a whole audiodrama because I keep podcast hopping.
But when I started Midnight Burger I thought 'this is literally my ideal show' an ensemble action adventure scifi. Definitely won't get derailed from This.
Then they played an ad for Fawx & Stallion ensemble action adventure detective show where the mc's are constantly overlooked detective because Holmes and Watson solve everything...
