So far election night USA seems to be a real referendum on “normal people are already sick of this shit”

Happy Halloween! Do you want a trick (scary podcast) or a treat (comfy podcast)? Take your pick... ... or let a D6 decide for you.

Want to be a real-life superhero? I've set up a virtual food drive to raise funds for Northern Illinois Food Bank. For anyone who donates before Nov. 14, you'll get thanked in THE BRIGHTEST BLAZE. Food is a basic human right. Let's lend a hand, friends. support.solvehungertoday.org/fundraiser/6...

Them: Hey, Marnie, how come you’ve been watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show? Me: *gestures wearily at the world * (adding in I will not consume anything post-apocalyptic any more; I just cannot)

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Three mysterious figures appear…

The toast eating will continue until morale improves

Updates about what's been happening in Chicago can be found mostly on Threads. If you have an account there look for independent news spots like Block Club Chicago, The Tribe, Chicago Reader, & WBEZ. I'm told that nearly none of my friends or family outside of the city knows what's going on. Scary.

Our first episode of Dracula: 2004 is out now! Jonathan Harker, solicitor, arrives in Romania, listens to a voicemail from Mina, records his travel log, and meets his employer’s new client: Count Dracula. playlist.megaphone.fm?e=FAFO106879...

A neat little thing I did! Preorder Courtney’s book and get a bonus audio cutscene!

not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure the most successful ADs are indie

Oh, I missed this drop! Also briefly featuring me!

I have no desire to go to Lollapalooza again, but this city absolutely needs a Brigadoon-esque appearance from the MERL. Or at least I do.

Now I want to go to Whitby!

Every once in a while the internet gifts us an actual gift.

Billy Joel was the soundtrack to three consecutive summers driving to and from rehearsals/performances with friends. I still have a soft spot for the boy who would play his songs on the piano at cast parties. I definitely knew I needed this doc.

Sigh. Same as it ever was. It’s lonely over here in AD land, but I wouldn’t be anywhere else.

Let the Whitby Adventure begin! Intrigued at the thought of a new audio adaptation of Dracula? Love the 2000s aesthetic? You'll love Dracula: 2004! Keep your eyes peeled for October 2025 for our exciting premiere 👀👀🦇 Care to take a bite?

I’m Still Standing (that being said, I associate Rocket Man very strongly with a certain summer of my youth and it will never not make me sigh and smile wistfully)

Summer solstice last year I was flying over the Arctic Circle witnessing the literal midnight sun. That was a time.

Not sure if sleeping diagonally in bed or not sharing fries rang the truest 🍟

It’s a good day to see just how petty I can be, I guess. And oh my, can I be petty.
