[production-notes] 14.5 (Patreon)

Dragonmeet was GREAT fun! Thanks if you came along and said hi! I focussed on my urban fantasy podcast, Modem Prometheus, this time around though I chatted with plenty of people about Lost Terminal too!

Here's what the table looked like:

SPOOKY right!? I certainly hope so!

Have you listened to Modem Prometheus? I love this podcast so much, my friends Neil (voice of Alek!) and Kate (voice of MINI!) write and perform respectively, they're both INCREDIBLE. I write the music, edit the script, and produce (and, evidentially, sacrifice my voice by talking to people for 8 hours at Dragonmeet!)

We have a unique take on the urban fantasy genre, there aren't usually classic vampires, werewolves, or ghouls in our stories, modern society has given us plenty enough new horrors to deal with. Our monsters are often inspired by mental health, contemporary society, and LGBT topics.
For example, you know the little voice in your head that tells you that you're not trying hard enough and won't ever amount to anything? Yeah, we call that the Clackerjack, and it's made out of static and LEDs and the sound of a jammed printer. It follows you around, but you can't touch it, and no-one else can help you, or even see it.

If that sounds fun, you can listen to the episodes in any order, the first one, #HuntingParty, is an absolutely cracker, you can start there or any episode that looks good in your podcast app!

Seth's finally talking to the cult directly, and it went about as well as it was going to... People who know for certain how the world works are scary.

Ally's family are faced with the same challenges all groups of people face, some want to preserve what we have at the risk of progress, others want to try new options to gain progress. It's sometimes difficult to know when the only winning move is not to play, or that not playing is de facto losing.

Mirror isn't a figment of IVAN's imagination! They don't like IVAN's judgemental nature, but are being judgemental of him because of this. HMM! More to learn about this character soon...
