I put together a fancy image for Metropolis' birthday, and had to share it.

Thank you so much to the thousands of you who have listened to our show in the past year. You are all amazing! 😄

Can't wait to bring you the ending of this saga over the next few weeks! ❤️🤖🌃 #audiodrama

On this day last year, we released the first episode of Metropolis. That means... gosh, it's *our birthday*? One full year of our little audio drama!?

Thank you so much to everyone who has come on this journey with us so far. 😄 Just two episodes to go, and the next one is coming out soon, really!

This is so fantastic! Dirt deserves to win this - got a couple of big names to topple, but you should have a real shot.

Working on the next episode of Metropolis is a good distraction, so I'm doing more of that.

Something that is impossibly cool: WHYY just did a big piece about something my spouse/creative-partner (and director of Metropolis) has been working on back in Philly:

It's such a beautiful, transcendent show in an incredibly 'Metropolis' space. An incredible creation. 🥲

Macy’s building is both setting and inspiration for a Philly Fringe Fest cabaret

The Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s “The Layaway” is a cheeky and mischievous take on opulence and commerce.

Gosh do I have a love-hate relationship with audio editing. It's great to get things the way you want them, but the anxiety to get there – the feeling that you might let all the work you've done to get to this point down – is pretty rough! #audiodrama

You're absolutely right that a lifestyle built around dissolute self-indulgence would suggest some very unhealthy people!

The way I've always thought of it – Metropolites are extremely unhealthy, but they're thin and unhealthy because they're vain and they're constantly abusing stimulants. 😂

#AudioDramaSunday
I started over my listen of @luxradium.bsky.social which is great. Also went back and listened to an older story arc I like from @midnightmanuscript.bsky.social and attended an animated trailer premiere and Q&A for @howitends.bsky.social for their new season coming up! Great time!

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! I moved house this week and I have to give all credit to these audio dramas for getting me through the long drives too and from my old flat to the new house! 🏠🎧

Ooh - interesting! Would definitely track with the character, and all native Metropolites!

Metropolis - An Audio Drama @luxradium.bsky.social · Sep 5

I really wonder how the characters of Metropolis look in people's minds. I give very few cues about how any of the characters look – all you basically know is that Oliver dresses well and Nan has forearms you wouldn't want to mess with. It makes me curious...

I'm going to post some of my favorite exchanges from Metropolis while I work on Episode 12 (coming out in a few weeks!)

This is an exchange between Nan and Oliver from Episode 2 that summarizes their whole dynamic. I'm tickled by the performances every time I listen. 😂
