If I was the Captain of the Farragut i'd be starting to take offence at how Enterprise keeps phoning my first officer in his quarters to ask him to go and give me my marching orders.

Until now I'd been unimpressed with S3 of #StrangeNewWorlds to say the very least (no shock given the writers strike), but it sure turned it around today.
Tense, well paced mystery, touch of cosmic horror, and most importantly just peak exploration vibes. Almost Outer Wilds-ish even.
More please.

Just listened to the Season 2 Volume 2 finale of The Sojourn Audio Drama, Vanishing Point. I have uncritical praise for this masterclass of a show. Dominic Keating delivers the performance of the century and every other cast member matches him in talent line for line

Very glad to see platforms like this taking a clear stand against Audible. Libro is one of the good ones.
Now feels like a good time to remind people that we are an Audible alternative—every time you buy an audiobook with us, you support your indie.

Having a lot of fun with Dune: Awakening atm.
Never would have expected for a second that any of these Dune tie-in games would be half this authentic a Dune experience.
Its basically Sand-nautica with MMO elements, and i'm very here for that.
Plus you can fly an Ornithopter and that's hype.

This coming Saturday's #TheSojourn episode is my little tribute to her wholesome, minimum-drama, slice-of-life style of fiction.
Enjoy it while it lasts folks cos its as close to a beach episode as we're ever getting 😂

Something that really stood out to me in the Patreon Listening Party is just how much their performances in those small roles elevated the final product.

Very proud of this one. Its our longest ep yet at nearly 57 minutes, and in structure and style its very much like an episode of Sharpe or Hornblower.
Also has one of our best SFX setpieces ever imo.

Did some maths yesterday, of all the revenue #TheSojourn made in the last 31 days, only 7% were from sources that were NOT Patreon
That's how bad things have got with author rates etc. Between what YouTube, Amazon etc see fit to pay, Patreon has become a life support machine for creators everywhere
