We LOVED having Audrey as one of our guest voices for this season โ€” and if you havenโ€™t heard The Heart Pyre, youโ€™re missing OUT!
And donโ€™t forget to listen to the newest episode of Syntax if you havenโ€™t!

If you like dark sci-fi with incredible worldbuilding, I'd very highly recommend it. It follows a team as they explore other worlds after a portal was discovered on earth and the show will absolutely shatter your heart!

Graphic with a dark grey background. In the middle is a screenshot from a podcast listening app showing Episode 48: I am Forever of Syntax underneath the logo of the show (a scientific cross section of what looks like a shell in dark greys and blacks). Underneath is text in purples that reads Hear me as Lysila in the newest episode of Syntax.

I've been following @syntaxpod.bsky.social since the very beginning and have loved every second of it and it's amazing that I get to announce that I'm part of it now!!!

Right after I'll start working on season 3 so you can expect it to start in summer or autumn.

I'd hoped I would find time to create some bonus episodes between seasons but with all the editing, building a house, & con prep, I think I might just implode from stress if I add more work to my schedule

I don't know if this was a smart move but it's what my heart wanted, even if my wallet is crying lmao

But now that I'm mostly done with the translation release, I'll focus my energy towards turning season 2 into a book, which should hopefully be out by March or April next year.

I'm sorry I've been radio silent for quite a while now, so here's a bit of an update on what I've been working on.

As you may know, when season 1 finished, I released it as a book. That book has now been translated to German (it's called Ein glรผhender Glaube, for anyone curious).

S2E15: 32 Transcript Welcome to The Heart Pyre. This is episode 32, A Blazing Bond. As a content warning, there will also be fighting in this episode which includes aggressive dog noises and fire. For a more detailed lโ€ฆ

There are no concrete plans for when season 3 releases yet as I wanted to change a few things about how the show releases. I will first focus my energy on editing the season into a book as I did with season 1, which should be out by the end of the year.

This was definitely the most difficult episode I had to edit yet, with the time I needed for the sound design doubling what I usually need ๐Ÿ˜ฌ There is just a lot happening in this episode and so much chaos. I really hope you all will like it ๐Ÿ˜”

We have finally reached the end of season 2 ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

With 60 percent of the votes, our story continues on the second path.

Rena and her companions have reached their goal and now they just need to find a way out of the monastery safely, but how? Everything seems to be devolving into chaos.

It's written in verse & follows a knight who's looking for her beloved princess who was shunned by the kingdom.

Last recording session for season 2!! It has been a very rough ride to get this season to its end but we're so close now!

The finale should be out in a week or so, depending on how long editing will take, and I think this is gonna be an editing heavy episode ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Sorry it's taken so long again ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ hopefully for the next season I'll learn that I should plan to do 5 projects at the same time ๐Ÿ˜”
I really, really want next season to go much smoother than this one. It's been a bit chaotic ๐Ÿ˜”

all that to say the next episode is finally recorded and just needs to be edited. I'm hoping it'll be done by the end of the weekend but I've also got 2 birthday parties this weekend so we'll see how it goes

Spent over an hour crafting a tiny sentences in a fictional language for a chant in the next episode even though it'll barely be heard cause in universe it's too far away but I just needed the syntax and morphology to be correct and playing around with inflected languages is just too much fun

Once again, what I feel is cool while writing turns out a bit of a nightmare while recording/editing ... there's also a big fight scene in it ... not sure how I'm gonna sound design that lmao
