Do we think Jack O’Connell auditioned for Sinners and Bone Temple and figured he wouldn’t land both parts?

It just be said, @mooneylwrites.bsky.social and @stewartwpringle.bsky.social are consistently writing some of the best atmospheric horror @bigfinish.bsky.social has to offer. Bravo.

@davidault.co.uk I’m just now getting to “To the Flame” of SATD and the writing on this has some real punch to it. The humor is so well woven in to rhythm of the story and hearing you recite your anti-sweet tea argument in a story was delightful

one of the big reasons we're asking for so much money for Phantom Pulse is bc I want to do everything I can to make it a union production so my actors can potentially* get healthcare that I will also be paying for in part with the funds we raise with kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

Me: 'Wow, this thriller sounds incredible! Creepy premise, great tension...'

LIFE HACK - Feel better about yourself & your enterprises by describing yourself to a professional you don't know, while trying to get your foot in the door in cheap shoes. You'll find a way to make yourself sound amazing all while being entirely honest 😎👉👉

Incredibly great points from Lauren (as ever). We need more people to discover Audio Drama now more than ever.
not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas

not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure

the most successful ADs are indie

Re-watching THE SHIELD means getting to naturally reach the 'what other errands--' moment in the same way I hear watching Dexter does for the 'Surprise, Motherfucker' line.
