Playing Public Access is the most fun ive had with my clothes on.
I just backed The Mechadova Engine: Steampunk Audio Drama on behalf of Ms. Shipton, Skadiβs Symphony and Lou Sutcliffe @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

I followed my heart & listened to lots of new stuff & was particularly thrilled by @scratchybananas.bsky.social's #SALTBLOOM & @oldermodal.bsky.social's #MRSSHIPTONSTRAVELINGTEASHOP. Really love the direct to consumer approach from @localfiles.club. Will have much more to say next week. Love y'all.
Love this

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
YOU: The first Gorillaz album was released 25 years ago.
ME: I disagree.

Me: Has anyone tried reasoning with them?
Hello, indie audio fiction fans, creators, music lovers, and musicians. I am working on a new thing and I am curious about your feedback.
If you have a few seconds, might you take this quick survey? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Please feel free to share!

Public Access by the Gauntlet is razor sharp, powerfully strange and enormously thought-provoking. My players are still daydreaming about our campaign, even though it finished six months ago. I think your players will too.

I'm livid, I've just got a new phone and in doing so have found out the Beeb took my favourite-to-revisit horror audio drama The Sink off their Sounds app so I can't redownload it.
I don't even know who to whinge to about it, it's not like "BBC Sounds" has a social media presence
Letβs talk about Smelt!
We want to make an always-on podcast channel made up of multiple short-run scripted comedy series. This is because making a new channel for every series is a huge barrier to getting traction and attention, so we want to build an audience of people willing to try new things.
Have you read the Levy report yet?

The question of our time is how do you artistically rebel β and win β against a totally flat cultural landscape? And before my readers, who I assume are all approximately 36 years old and very tired, say, βso what, who cares?β This does matter. I mean, just look around right now lol. You know things are bad when even OpenAI President Greg Brockman is posting stuff, like βTaste is a new core skill.β If people had taste, your company wouldnβt exist, Greg. But if everything is just attention now, and attention is completely commodified by algorithmic tech platforms, how can you push back against that? Well, I am slowly coming around to a theory on the new cool: You have to essentially pre-deplatform yourself. Culture right now is determined not by human teams of editors and producers picking and choosing what youth culture gets the spotlight, but, instead, by the unthinking algorithms that power YouTube and TikTok. Which means the only things that have the level of scarcity and danger required to be seen as cool by young people will, slowly, but surely, be whatever is unacceptable on those platforms.
A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it.

Salt Bloom | Narrated scifi micro-epic
A lone SARCβ17 robot roams the boundless ocean of SalsunΓ© 11b, planting myths, hunting salty signs, and siphoning data from its orbital overseer. Though it calls itself a perpetual failure, its drive to find life [β¦]
More places doing reviews/criticism/commentary is the first thing that comes to mind!
