I just wanted to tell you I started your podcast and I’m nervous to review but I wanted to tell you I absolutely adore your intro and outro it’s literally so catchy! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us! I’m hoping to catch up tonight (and I can do that because my college semester is done today) also hello to a fellow historian! : ) (I myself am studying World History particularly Middle Eastern history with an interest in Sumerian culture and History) okay enough of my rambling now keep up the amazing work! You are all so talented!
I appreciate your kind words! I hope the semester treated you well and that you have a great break! Fun fact, the Sumerian cuneform was actually the language I was going to reference in the show before going with Rongo Rongo. But they are a fascinating folk to be studying, I hope you love it. The intro/outro is by the AMAZING Sage G.C btw! They run some of their own podcasts as well, more TTRPG Actual Plays but the team is great and Sage is a GOD when it comes to sound design. You should check them out if that is your vibe, 20SidedStories.
Making an audio drama is like "Oh, I like those voices in my head. I should make them kiss. Oooooh I should share this with other people."
Hello Eel Enthusiasts. I have two announcements for you.
1, Lou and I have been working with Gabriel Robinson (who you may know from The Silt Verses RPG and Trophy, to create a brand new TTRPG set in the Eeler's Choice Universe.
The Eeler’s Choice RPG is a game of maritime folk horror and ecological threats, where hardworking folk build their lives along the coast, and the ocean never gives back what it takes… unchanged.
In this game, a group of residents of the coastal town of Eskmouth are serving their year of community service in the Watch, as all folk of Eskmouth do. Each comes from a different background, bringing their unique skills to respond to situations which threaten the livelihood of the town’s residents.
The Watch go about their lives in Eskmouth, tackling local problems and aiding the community as best as they can by pooling their resources and skills. But something else threatens the city and way of life as most folk know it – a creeping tide of sickness, pollution and strange aquatic mutations. The Watch will soon realize this is caused by the sinister forces of unregulated industry, and must ultimately confront the corrupt organization responsible, all the while maintaining the lives they’ve built in Eskmouth.
Gabriel and I sat down to discuss Game design as well as the Eeler's TTRPG in an interview you can find here

"This all sounds fantastic. How can I play this game?" I hear you cry.
Well, the full game is still some time away from release. But there is one way you can get access to an early access playtest version.
By donating to our crowdfund! If we reach our first stretch goal of $10,000, all backers will receive an early access copy of the game, as well as the opportunity to provide feedback that may be incorporated into the final game when it is released.
That brings us to point number 2,
2. The Eeler's Choice Season 2 Crowdfund!
Our prelaunch page is live now. You can sign up to be notified when we launch on May 1, 2025.
We have all kinds of great perks in store, including exclusive merch items, workshops, signed and annotated scripts, and more. If you loved season 1 and can't wait to see us delve even deeper into the waters of Eskmouth, you won't want to miss this.
Season 2 will have new characters, new locations, and new mysteries. We cannot wait to bring it to you, but we need your help to make it possible. So if you can spare a dollar or ten, that gets us that much closer to being able to pay our cast and crew the fair rate they deserve.
If you can't donate at this time, that's okay! You can help us by sharing this crowdfund with your friends and family. Eeler's is an indie project without an advertising budget. We can only spread through word of mouth. Every share makes a difference.
Thank you!
Daisy
Are you an extremely reliable, organized person who could use a little extra cash and currently has some bandwidth to pick up work? Do you have an ear for picking out great performances from several takes and a working knowledge of audio editing? Can you execute high quality work on a reasonably fast turn-around?
I'm currently looking for someone to sift through cast recordings of Starship Iris season 3, choose takes of each line, and cut those takes together into a vocal cut for our sound designer to work from. Pay would be $350 per episode, for 3 episodes (one of the three has most of the takes already chosen and notated on the script; that one would be more just about assembly). Prior experience doing this kind of thing would be a huge plus!
If you're interested and qualified, please email iriscasefiles at gmail with "Audio editor" somewhere in the subject line. Deadline is this noon this Sunday, the 15th of December 2024.
Signal boosts appreciated!
Another (4) 1-stars. At this point it really doesn't feel worth it to keep the show up since it wont be seen by anyone on Spotify for all this negative engagement out the door. They have done the same on Apple but I assume that since Apple Pods is tied to your phone number they cant abuse the system in the same way. Sigh. I just wanna tell little ghost stories.
Seance in the White House Fun fact: Mary Lincoln hosted many Seances in the Red Room of the White House after her son Willie died.
YES! YOU ALL HAVE TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT IMMEDIATELY.
Hands down one of my favorite listens lately, the world is grim and gritty but the characters ARE SO FUCKING GOOD. And the magic system is ::chef's kiss::
Hello people of Tumblr! Tumblrs? Tumblefolk?
We’re Last Dance, a dark fantasy audiodrama where your body is quite literally your temple. Follow a battlefield scavenger as he’s thrown headfirst into the bloodiest invasion his home has ever seen.
If you like The Silt Verses, Tumanbay and The Witcher series then we’re probably right up your alley.
@luxradium suggested that we get ourselves on Tumblr and so here we finally are!
You can find all our links in our bio, but for now you can see our the first panel of what’s apparently called a Quattrodectych. We have lots more quality fantasy art for the show to share, and I’d love to post a bit more of our worlds lore right here as it seems like it’d be well received!
Anyway, I’m looking forward to figuring out how Tumblr works - see you real soon.
- Max
THIS IS SO COOL! I love the style choices. THIS IS SO GOOOD!
