Today's ANA fun fact is about the gang's resident witch!

And as of today we've gotten over the 30% threshold--love those round numbers!

Support our crowdfund to help make Season 3 happen: igg.me/at/anas3

Bea is partially named after Beatrice from the Divine Comedy. That way, Sig has a "devil" on his shoulder in Happy and an "angel" in Bea. Not that Bea is any less prone to drastic action than Happy!

It's new Heartglass day!

On the flight back to Robeson, a major complication puts the whole trip at risk. In Hell, Seraphina and Allan do their best to help James cope with his injuries, but in the end it's him who proves stronger than the both of them combined.

Sound design competition for the #ADHubfest 2025! See pics for details!

Ping your entries and any queries to
[email protected]

We announce our schedule early next week and our keynote speakers this weekend

Yes! There’s 2!

Reply to this if you wanna clue whoooo🎉💜
Www.audiodramahub.com

Fiona Thraille has helped launch this super fun sound design comp we run at THE AUDIO DRAMA HUBFEST! This year - with ADDED VOICE ACTING! (Well…up to 10 words)

Have a go!
Ya could winnnnnnn🎉
>>>>>

Open to everyone, everywhere, freely.

This is my favourite *"competition" every year.

*Please don't think of it as a competition, but as a bit of an excuse to experiment with sound in absolutely any way you can.

There's no rules (beyond the rules below!!!) This year: up to 10 words in any way you'd like to use them - and everything has to be your own work, nothing copyrighted or AI. And that is it. Make a soundscape or music or a tiny play, a feeling, whatever you fancy around the theme of "Visitor".

No previous experience in audio whatsoever required. No entry fees.
And you can always record something that's made in a completely analogue way, as long as you can get it into an mp3 to send it across.

All the rules are below, but there aren't many.
Have lots and lots of fun!

(Thanks to Michael Hudson for this year's graphic).

____________________________________

60 - 90 SECOND AUDIO FICTION COMPETITION - SOUND EFFECTS, MUSIC, BREATH… and 10 WORDS ONLY!
PAINT A PICTURE WITH SOUND
This competition is open from now until midnight (GMT) on 19th October 2025.
It is free to enter, and is open to anyone, anywhere, of any level of experience*. You can enter with up to 3 pieces if you enjoy making them!
The theme this year is “Visitor”.
.
Five entries will be picked by an Audio Drama Hub panel and will be showcased at the Audio Drama Hubfest on 1st November… where those present will choose their favourite to receive a small prize.
.
Entries must:
… be 60 - 90 seconds long
… be an MP3 (labelled just with title, NOT your name, to keep anonymity)
... use sounds, music and or breaths to tell the story.
… This year, as we are focusing on voice acting, you may use up to 10 unique words (which may be repeated) in a sentence, sentences or used abstractly.
... only contain Creative Commons 0 fx and music, or your own foley/music. It's a celebration of human creativity, so please no AI.
... be as experimental as you like and have lots of fun!
(Please be aware that this will be played over speakers in the hall, so please do check that there’s no clipping distortion in your original sound).
.
.
In your email
... include a short paragraph about the inspiration behind the piece
... give your name
Please send entries to [dashinglyquirky@gmail.com](mailto:dashinglyquirky@gmail.com) by 19th October 2025.
.

Happy creating!
Note:
By entering, you give permission for the Audio Drama Hub to play your piece at the Audio Drama Hubfest 2025 and to include it in a future episode of a podcast from Quirky Voices or Indie AF. You retain ownership and of course, you can withdraw your entry and/or permission at any time by getting in touch at the above address. If any entries are considered unsuitable, the decision of the Audio Drama Hub admin team will be final.
.
[Another note - It doesn't have to be a linear story within a physical space. It doesn't have to be realistic - it can be abstract, a montage of sounds that evoke a memory/feeling/person/place for example, or that just sound interesting together. Giving you total freedom of artistic expression -there's more than enough realism out there, so we really welcome stuff more like Musique concrète too. Have fun, and it is open to anyone just wanting to create - so you can tailor it to your own skills/interests]

the anti-union video in this ep is, word for word, an actual amazon video. sometimes corporations really are slimy enough to say the phrase "living wage" is a red flag.

remember! talk about your salary with your coworkers! it is your legal right!

@oz9podcast.bsky.social you can just pretend I'm being normal about these episodes, right? I'm being normal. This is a normal thing to draw.

Digital art of Dr. Theo Bromae and Pipistrelle from the podcast Oz 9 set during the Midsummer Night's Dream Fakespeare episodes. Pipistrelle is hanging upside down from a tree by her feet above Dr. Theo, who is sitting on the ground. And she's planting a smooch on him. With tongue.

The Mechadova Engine @mechadovapod.bsky.social · Sep 5

Why YOU should follow The Mechadova Engine!

This slideshow was put together by the wonderful Niamh @anoniamhmous. All the delightful pictures, visual jokes, and additional captions were done by Niamh, while the written bulletpoints and titles were done by @lumoakes.bsky.social.

A slideshow. The first slide has a light orange background with the "The Mechadova Engine" cover in the middle. At the top it reads "Why you should Follow and Listen to The Mechadova Engine!". In the top corners there are little graphics of trains, and in the bottom corner there are graphics of railway tracks.

The second slide has a darker orange background and the title "Sounds cool, What is it?". It has the same art in the corners as the previous, and all other slides. It reads, in bulletpoints: "The Mechadova Engine is an upcoming 15-episode queer steampunk mystery audio drama". "It takes place on a strange steam locomotive system on railways in the sky." To the left, there are pictures of a sky, a steampunk hat, a pride flag, and a railway track. The next part reads: "It centers around the character og, the sole inhabitant of a lonely library railcar, whose life turns upside down as they get involved with a resistance group of outcasts." Above this text, there is a picture of a nametag that says "Hello I'm Log" and an illustration of a tree log. The next part reads: "Technically alternate history in an abstract sort of way." with an arrow pointing to it that says "The best type of alternate history!".

The third slight has a light orange background and the title "Okay, but like, What's it about?". It reads, in bulletpoints: "At its core, the show is about the meaningless structures of a capitalist system, how knowledge is preserved and retold, and the power of community." "It's also about neurodivergency, queerness, and the systems that isolate us." "There are probably themes of lovelessness n there too as a treat." "And a QPR (Queer Platonic Relationship)". This bulletpoint is accompanied by a "Queens Park Rangers" flag crossed out with the text "Not this one", and the queerplatonic flag with the text "This one!". The final bulletpoint reads "And the creator's poorly concealed aromanticism" on top of an aromantic flag.
