ANNOUNCEMENT: Twin Strangers X BlendBee!

We are extremely excited to announce the Twin Strangers collaboration with BlendBee! We're bringing you FOUR custom loose leaf tea blends inspired by YOU and the first four Depths in Syntax! Use our link to support us at TSP, and your favorite shows!:

Jamah and her team at BlendBee have been marvelous to work with. This was something that we thought was a far-off dream, but Jamah helped our wildest dreams come true! With every purchase, you'll be helping TWO small businesses - TSP and BlendBee!

My (Rowan) personal favorite is Gaia Green, and Ty loves the Dayba Chai, but ALL of them are unique and flavorful that are certainly reminiscent of the worlds we've had so much joy in creating. Thank you for supporting us, and cheers to bringing more content to your ears!

Here's a sneak peek of what the landing page looks like:

"Nanobots are part of our culture. My tattoos don't just keep my body running, heal me when I'm sick or hurt. They tell people who I am, who my people are, the world I live in."

Illustrated by @diabeticspoon92 for Episode 18 of Travelling Light, a science fantasy podcast available now on all good podcatchers.

#love that concept! #Traveling light

I really like the "what does your podcast taste like?" but it has me thinking...

Podcast creators: what's the optimal way to listen to your podcast? Out for a walk on a warm morning? Tucked up in bed with a hot chocolate on a rainy day? Maybe on surround-sound speakers with a bowl of fresh buttered popcorn? Halfway up an old tree?

Something else entirely?

#the ideal way is in a forest on a sunny day next to a brook while your dog sleeps next to you #if you however are like me and have to do multiple things at once then I suggest listening while playing a non-story-driven game

Ok, so the latest idea I've had for my blog is to create a page collecting together other resources where folks talk about fiction podcasts!

So if you have a blog or a newsletter where you review fiction podcasts, if you're someone who posts an audio drama/fiction Sunday post/thread on the socials (it doesn't have to be every week!), or if there's some other way that you regularly give audio fiction recommendations, let me know in the tags or send me an ask!

Khoshekh the loveable Night Vale Community Radio cat, he’s very cute, has his adult kitty spine spikes and floats about four feet off the ground in the studio bathroom, right beside the sink!

No photography please! We don’t know the full consequences of what will happen to you, this is your final warning!

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

After several months of unemployment I'm finally starting a new job next week but now idk how and when I'll be able to work on the show.

I'm curious, for anyone who has a full-time job with long commute, when do you work on your show? Are you more productive early before leaving or late after coming home? Do you only work on your free days?

#The jobs I had before my unemployment weren't super demanding so I could write during the day sometimes #I'm gonna be a language teacher now though I don't think I'll have a lot of time to do smth else during the day 😬

[theheartpyre]

Has anyone tried an audio drama "book club" (pod-club? [better name]?) yet?

I know some people are hesitant to try a new show if they won't have someone to talk to about it, so it seems like the obvious way to solve that, plus help people find new shows and vice versa? I don't actually know how book clubs work.

Sometimes I listen to blooper episodes from other shows and I get a little bit sad that I'm making THP all on my own.I also want to be able to make blooper episodes where I laugh with my friends instead of just having 15 minutes of me being unable to pronounce words correctly.

#This is why there'll never be THP bloopers cause the most interesting thing I could give you is maybe some cat scratching at a door

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 Reed 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.

Snippet

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.
