i started this in september for the zine fest, this still counts! i thought, hmmm i’ve been listening to heaps of various forms of space scifi, what could i possibly do a zine about?

this was my first ever zine! i think i might do a follow-up of honorable mentions that didn’t make it in, i already had to modify the format cuz i had too much to say xD

[best-fictional-band-poll]

The top FOUR bands from this poll will go through! Good luck!

Trick or treat!

I give you: an underrated sci-fi audio drama miniseries, Roguemaker!

Based on a discord-based RPG a friend of mine participated in, Roguemaker is a single-season complete story about a passenger spaceflight to an interstellar music festival... that gets hijacked and bombed. The passengers all escape into escape pods, and land on a planet that shouldn't exist. A locked-room mystery of a sense, the characters have to determine: who set the bomb? What were they after? And what does it have to do with this sunless planet that they conveniently happened to be nearby enough to land on?

Cool characters and a fun mystery! Though sometimes the audio is tough to understand :')

✨12 Podcasts for 12 Days of Podmas ✨

a belated podmas post from me, asha!

thanks to @vestaclinicpod for coming up with the idea, it's genius! <3

in no particular order, the podcasts I reviewed (and a link to their spotify/podchaser when I rb this later):

SPIRIT BOX RADIO @spiritboxradio: Absolutely charming! I'm now very attached to the main cast of characters, and the overall tone of the show is (pardon the pun) bewitching! Plus gorgeous music that loops in my head constantly when I'm not listening!

MONSTROUS AGONIES @monstrousagonies: An agony column for 'creatures of the night'? What a brilliant concept! Monstrous Agonies manages to be oftentimes soothing, funny and heart-wrenching all in the space of an episode! It has swiftly become a favourite of mine and stands to stay that way.

THE PASITHEA POWDER @pasitheapowder: Complex, unique storytelling methods and a plot that unravels deliciously. I'm constantly on the edge of my seat! The intense relationships between the main characters (Sophie and Jane, but also them and Evelyn and Jane with George to name just a few) all feel very realistic and I can't wait to see what happens next!

THE STRANGE CASE OF STARSHIP IRIS @iriscasefiles: Never fails to cheer me up! Complex and compelling characters, delightful sci-fi setting and concept of an alien culture. At this point I think I've recommended TSCOSI to everyone I know at least twice. Sad? Starship Iris. Happy? Starship Iris. Not sure yet? Starship Irisss!

UNSEEN @unseendotshow: Seemingly standalone stories build up a rich lore for the world of the podcast. Always a delight! Each episode adds a new layer/type of story to consider, and the voice work is always jaw-dropping.

ROGUEMAKER @roguemaker: Super fast paced, does NOT pull its punches. I need the songs to be on spotify by themselves so I can listen on repeat because they're so so beautiful! Dynamic, intriguing and most importantly, very very enjoyable! <3

NIGHT SHIFT @nightshiftpodcast: Phenomenal audio work! A treat for your ears :) the world of the podcast is one almost like our own, but just a step or two to the left, making for highly entertaining listening as we (and Seb) learn the secrets of Echor City. I'm very excited to see where season two takes us!

BODIES IN SPACE @bodiesinspacepod: Very funny and very heartfelt! Delightful protagonists, each with their own thing going on that we get to find out about over the course of the show. Really lovely sound work!

SOMEONE DIES IN THIS ELEVATOR @sditepod: Every single episode blows me away! I dread the day I get properly up to date and have no more to just casually rip my heart out on an otherwise average afternoon :') Consistently stellar writing, and you'd be surprised by just how many ways someone can die in an elevator…

MABEL @mabelpodcast: How to even begin to describe this rollercoaster of a story?! I devoured this podcast. The style is hard to pinpoint but unique, refreshing and absolutely enthralling. If you like fae horror and fantastic sound design, Mabel is right up your alley!

ME AND AU @meandaupod: I find myself returning to Me and AU frequently, because the characters are just so sweet! A truly delightful show, I'd recommend it to anyone who has spent any time in a fandom - especially a tiny one! The experience is well represented here :))

CHAPTER AND MULTIVERSE: The characters of Masks are going to live in my heart for a long time! The players and GM bounce off one another very well, making for deliciously complex relationships between their characters, who are all, in their own ways, really very sweet. Tonally each episode balances the serious with the sweet in a way that I find lovely to listen to :)

hi! wanderer’s lament was my favorite song (i paused and listened to it again before letting tarsul talk), and i was curious, is it a ǵnonw song or an about gardens original?

It's an ancient ǵnonw folk song! Something Woh́́ has been singing since their childhood, with the accompanying comforting nostalgia despite its haunting storyline. We love it, too--and are very proud that it won an Audio Verse Award last year! https://audioverseawards.net/2022-winners/#Best_Composition_for_a_New_Production

Since the ǵnonw live underground, our composer Emily went with a simple percussive sound for the instrumental portion of the song. Wanderer's Lament is also inspired by a similar moment in the first episode of The Strange Case of Starship Iris, in which characters stuck in space sing an old folk song (Whiskey in the Jar) together. (Also also, Emma wrote most of the lyrics right after seeing Dune in theatres...that mighta affected some things xD)

R is for @roguemaker!

Sci-fi. Commercial flight Plutonic 999 explodes, but this is no accident. The passengers are forced to evacuate, each in their own individual escape pod. Unable to contact each other, they’re left floating in space, while their pods’ radios play adverts.

[littleacebee]

Sometimes I put on Roguemaker playlists on while I’m cooking and then feel like a character in Roguemaker universe simply listening to these songs on the radio 😌

[conscious-naivete]

okay i’m kissing the worldbuilding of roguemaker on the mouth i don’t think ive ever seen a space scifi setting where there’s just two species. or, there’s three, but the one was ancient and disappeared before the other two reached space. it’s really fascinating and a change of pace, like, instead of having all these intergalactic species going on, it’s just the humans and the gnonw. ep 1 starts us out with a convo btwn lowkey and woh, a human and gnonw, and they casually exposit for us that gnonw have double-chambered larynxes (can harmonize with their self) and live in a tidally-locked planet (static light&dark sides)(“night and day are places for me and times for you”) and as SOON as woh said that i was like Oh Okay pull up a chair i’m here for this. the two cultures are v different and they know Enough about each other but not everything and it’s so cool. i love sci-fi

[legalvalkyrie]

Congratulations to all the 2022 Audioverse winners, but particularly delighted to have this newest weapon in my arsenal against Alasdair’s imposter syndrome.
