Let's catch up with the multi-hyphenate creator of Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop, @oldermodal.bsky.social, before the holidays. www.localfiles.club/5-questions-...

Jubilee video that’s me surrounded by 20 startups CEOs who claim they invented audio fiction.

Lotta talk at the moment about AI voice theft chatbots atm. Not linking to sites because fuck that. Those familiar with my opinion on AI can probably guess my response, but to be clear: I consider the users of such chatbots to be hollow wastes of breath who are actively murdering their own souls.

Rather unsettled to see my voice is also on here… Look I know y’all want to have your fun but there are countless other ways of having fun with the character of Alice in creative, safe and non-infringing ways. Listen to Fay. And listen to me. I do not give consent for my voice to be ripped.

And, not to belabour it too much, because I don't think you can: THIS IS PLAGIARISM. THIS IS THEFT. This is also ensuring that other bots will get hold of e.g. my voice and reduce my chances of finding work. You're literally robbing me, and Johnny, and everyone else involved in its creation. 4/4

Last repost - there are a number of Kane and Feels chatbots and vocal bots. Stop it. Dont do that. Shits fucked.

Stop fucking uploading transcripts as well. Those are there for accessibility for people who need them not for your sick games. The creators, or the fans who lovingly put them together for their favourite shows did not do that so you could feed them to the plagiarism machines. Disgusting behaviour.

Stop uploading VAs voices ripped from audiodramas to character dot ai. It is theft and it is sick and creepy as fuck, and the environment destroying GenAI companies are profiting off our work because you are stealing it for them. Just stop.

Something new to check out from #KaneandFeels: The Horror Noir Podcast - Tales of the Cog Teaser 👇👇💜 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/k...

@audiodrama.bsky.social Tales of the cog released their trailer. - link in the notes for podcast directory youtu.be/HwKCBUlWOnk?...

Just listened to the Tales of the Cog Teaser. I am so hyped. The voice acting sounds so good as always. The sound effects sound amazing. Y’all I’m clearing my calendar for January 12th. Also what’s with Skadi’s Symphony Productions and wrestling? It’s fun.

Check out our new episode featuring Karim Kronfli [@bullshotuk.dramaticvoice.co.uk] including discussion of networking in audio drama!

A Pulitzer for whoever chose the photo on this one

Currently no replies to this and the call closes today so now's the time, everyone.

You can tell a lot about a person based on when they think Wes Anderson fell off

I really loved this piece. When I first started formulating what became @localfiles.club, my driving question was Why is the default in indie audio drama free? Or, as Keelin puts it: "What should we pay for, how should we pay for it... Especially when people are used to podcasts being mostly free."

So nice to be included in this incredible roundup! Happy Bandcamp Friday!

Sometimes I feel like the creative part of my life is taking a huge backseat to my day job and the nonstop drudgery of living through a fascist regime. But then I remember- hey, you released an audio drama concept album earlier this year. Give yourself a break! music.apple.com/us/album/the...

A reminder that if you want to get your favorite creators a holiday gift this year *for free*, you can give their show a review / tell your friends about it / engage with their content! It really makes such a difference to us!

Thank you @iamkeelinit.bsky.social for your thoughtful words on Local Files Club, our business model, and how buying audio fiction can fit into today's podcast landscape! www.mentallyamagpie.com/the-local-fi...

If you've already purchased Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop (thank you, by the way), I have five suggestions for more great audio fiction that you can support on Bandcamp: www.localfiles.club/network-file...

Today's Bandcamp Friday, which means that Bandcamp waives their cut and 100% of your purchase of Ms. Shipton's Travelling Tea Shop will go to Local Files Club and Skadi's Symphony! localfilesclub.bandcamp.com/album/ms-shi...

Fun fact! Phantom Pulse is just $600 away from $40k, which would put us within $10k of our goal as we head into the final stretch So like, are there 66 people on this website with a good enough sense of humour to give $11 to our queer story about exorcists and make it $666? 👹 #AudioDrama

Ok - 4 days left, 25% to go. It's doable but it won't be easy. I've been quite severely ill for the last month, and whilst I've been waiting for a treatment to keep me on my feet for more than a week, this campaign has almost passed. So I'm asking for help. Please boost this if you can.
