Thank you so much for listening along and for the lovely words!
I've just listened to the finale of @jochiang.bsky.social's Hearthbound.
The entire 10 episodes have been beautifully realised. Who'd have thought relocating the Odyssey to a post-apocalypse US West would work so well? Jo did, & it does.
At the last catharsis, though this is no tragedy.
*applause*

It's the last #audiodramasunday before the Hearthbound finale, so in honor of Odessa and Penelope, I'm featuring some other shows featuring queer love stories (some more romantic than others…):

Yes!! 10/10 good trees no notes.
It was once again "looking at some good trees while listening to Hearthbound"- day 🌳

Buckle up friends it's Penelope loving hours!! Listen to Hearthbound, Episode 9 now! pod.link/1807519201/e...

This #audiodramasunday, I wanted to feature some shows by my fellow Asian creators out here. As we are not a monolith, everyone brings such an array of specific cultural experiences to the work. Here's to telling more stories, our way.

Thanks for letting us keep you company! We highly recommend our listeners go out and about and look at some good trees while listening to Hearthbound! 🌲
I listened to an episode of Wolf 359, Hearthbound, and Hello from the Hallowoods today while doing chores and being out on my walk, and I'm now settling in to stream the Wooden Overcoats liveshow. So many fantastic audio dramas today 💜

New episode! Check out Hearthbound, Episode 8: Antigone for an iconic punk rock mandolin moment. This one holds a very special place in my heart. 🤘🏼 pod.link/1807519201/e...

It's #audiodramasunday, but make it a double, because I forgot to share my previous write-up here too! First category: literature, classics-style!
September 7, 2025 at 3:54 PM
Hearthbound episode 7 is here!! Here's wishing a good day to a Cassandra who gets to live to a ripe old age. pod.link/1807519201

Thanks Gregg for giving our lil folk musical a shot!
Odessa makes her way across a post apocalyptic land in search of her wife in this musical retelling of The Odyssey. This is my Hearthbound review.

While Team Hearthbound is taking a mid-season break, meet (or revisit) the motliest crew in the 'verse, created by @jesserbest.bsky.social. We've dropped TSCOSI's very first episode on our feed: episodes.fm/1807519201/e...

It's #audiodramasunday again and queer women of color loving hours! Here's to telling our stories in a world that longs to erase us. We're still here. Featuring below some of my favorite shows highlighting those stories.

10/10 would recommend throwing a live show for your audio drama at a 100yo bar 🍻

She was wondering why I kept nonchalantly insisting that she should wear her cutest pants to the show 😂.
STOP @jochiang.bsky.social proposing to her partner at the #Hearthbound musical night in New York oh my GOD this is the best queer drama since Mabel I swear to god all of you need to listen to this podcast

Did somebody say sea shanty?? Listen to episode 5 of Hearthbound on your fave podcast platform!

Oop late again on #audiodramasunday. Here's Gentleman Cat as tribute.

[Sue Perkins voice] It's mythology week!

Hearthbound's my own queer, brown, Americana take on The Odyssey, and the best thing about myths is how many spins can be spun. Sapphic, anti-colonial, irreverent, you name it! Let's go!

Odessa's journey home to her wife leads her along the Loneliest Road in America. Amid strange hosts and echoes of the past, this folk musical audio drama explores love, restoration, and the road trip of a lifetime. Are you ready to join her?

I'm in SLC, officiating a wedding for my dear friends, then heading deeper into the desert for some camping under the dark skies of Utah. In honor of that, this #audiodramasunday, we're going west (but weird). This round-up went up on other platforms last week, but I totally forgot bluesky lol–
