#courtship of Mona mae

[musical-theatre-encyclopedia]

I would add Life with LEO(h) and Adventures in New America. LwL is written by and stars Octavia Bray, who is black. AiNA is about queer people of color in the.... near? future.

I'll add more if I think of them, but I'm also adding several of these to my playlist.

It's Black History Month

(Over here in the US of A) So here are some podcasts to check out.

Absolutely no Adventures - a fantasy (un)adventure story that follows Sig, the owner of Signature Eats bakery, as he aggressively avoids becoming embroiled in any daring quests or chosen one shenanigans even though the universe really seems to want him to do just that. This is a story about cutting Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey off at the knees to chill with friends and staying far, far away from the slightest whiff of adventure. And also baking. This is also a story about baking.

Afflicted - Lovecraft Country meets True Blood in this new series from award-winning producers Tonia Ransom and Jen Zink. In season one, a small East Texas town suffers supernatural disasters caused by a demonic book bound in human flesh…and only hoodoo can save the town from its affliction.

Apollyon - In the early 22nd century, the Apollyon virus wiped out 75% of the world’s population, and now most of the world is governed by the International Conglomerate of Research Scientists. Dr. Theo Ramsey is an ICRS research scientist who may have just discovered an effective vaccine for Apollyon, but the stakes to get the vaccine to the public are higher than she ever imagined.

Between Heartbeats - Tan immersive Urban Fantasy about the hurt, the powerful, and their growth within a broken world. We follow Sundiata, a guilt-ridden time manipulator with a knack for unemployment, and Nadia, a moralistic telepath determined not to lose control, as they balance frayed mental health against an unsympathetic police state. But when a malevolent presence rears is head, their neuroses become the least of their problems. Can our heroes make the most of their abilities before the option is taken from them?

Fan Wars: The Empire Claps Back - Two passionate Star Wars fans on opposite sides of the Last Jedi debate argue via Skype after their favorite forum closes down. If you love Star Wars (or call yourself a proud member of any fandom), you’ll love this romantic comedy told via

Harlem Queen - a Black historical fiction audio drama based on the life and times of Black, woman, "gangster" Madame Stephanie St. Clair during the Harlem Renaissance.

His Royal Fakin' Highness - What if Ophelia helped Hamlet get his throne back? This modern day, romantic comedy re-imagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet asks just that. As they stage an engagement in the wake of the king's death, these childhood frenemies must decide between duty and love.

InCo (This one's mine :D) - A Sci-Fi story about a disgruntled information seller, a mysterious space boy, and an android doing her best.

Janus Descending - a limited series, science fiction/horror audio drama podcast, follows the arrival of two xenoarcheologists on a small world orbiting a binary star. But what starts off as an expedition to survey the planet and the remains of a lost alien civilization, turns into a monstrous game of cat and mouse, as the two scientists are left to face the creatures that killed the planet in the first place.

Lady Lucy - Lady Lucy is an audio drama inspired by Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" Sonnets, 127-154. Between running her brothel, fighting the Church, murdering her friends' abusive husbands, and pretending to be a poet, the last thing Lucy needed back in 1586 was a surprise visit from her former flame... Will Shakespeare.

Liars and Leeches - Tonya Wright felt it all after the tragic murders of her sister and brother-in-law in a random act of gun violence. Struggling to travel outside of her home, she now lives constantly on edge about perceived threats that seem to surround her.

Nightlight - Multi-award winning horror podcast featuring creepy stories with full audio production written by Black writers and performed by Black actors. So scary it’ll make you want to leave your night light on.

Null /Void - a science fiction audio drama about a young woman, Piper Lee, whose life is saved by a mysterious voice named Adelaide. Piper soon uncovers a malicious plot by a monopoly of a tech company and must work with her friends and an unusual ally to help foil their deadly plot.

Out of Ashes - (currently remastering season 1) Follow a group of survivors as they navigate the ruins of modern civilization and battle against demons, ghosts, monsters and the looming threat of extinction from an ancient power.

Small Victories - A recently recovered drug addict tries to start her new lease on life, too bad life has it out for her.  This dramatic comedy follows Marisol through the ups and downs of her life.

The Courtship of Mona Mae - In the 1870s, pioneers Mona Mae Christophe and Zekial Montgomery search the American West for Mona Mae's mother, Clara. Mona must recall a past, long forgotten in order to survive, so that she can find her mother, love and create a way of life for herself.

Vega a Sci-Fi Adventure Podcast - In a fantasy futuristic world, Vega Rex is employed by her government to kill off the world's worst criminals. She's never met a criminal she couldn't catch…until now. Join Vega as she journeys through a world of bumbling apprentices, powerful technogods, and her biggest challenge yet. Hosted by Ivuoma Hall.

Witchever Path - is an anthology series where your decisions effect the story. Our stories are based in America’s NorthEast, featuring characters finding themselves in the thick of the unknown while tackling issues like queer identity, gender, race, and spirituality. Stories often focus on the communities not typically seen in stories taking place in New England, and giving voice to the perspectives of those communities while uniting under some universal themes. And the supernatural happens. A lot.

37

37 is The Courtship of Mona Mae!

A western! A romance! An action story about a woman trying to find her family and a man who would sure like to become her family! I love this show. It does only have two episodes, though, and I'm not sure Yhane Washington Smith is ever going to finish it, so only get invested if you love heartbreak and westerns.

35 please!

That would be The Courtship of Mona Mae, a western! And unlike most westerns, it is solidly founded in the history of its time—it’s about a woman trying to find her mother and the man who loves her trying to help. This is another one with only a few episodes, but I have high hopes that it’ll return someday.

🐥 A character you think needs a hug

💝 A podcast you think deserves more love

🎥 Favorite genre

🎶 Favorite theme song

☔️ A podcast that made you cry

🐥: I would like to hug Wilder from Moonbase Theta, Out because she is chronically underappreciated and I love her

💝: Have you listened to the Miseducation of John Mark??? It’s about Black Lives Matter and the meaning of community and how people change, and nobody’s listened to it! I met the guys who made it and they’re fantastic.

🎥: I like any genre done well, but it’s hard to argue with a good period piece. Harlem Queen? The Courtship of Mona Mae?? Heck YES.

🎶: i just remembered today how absolutely 😙👌 perfectly fitting “Charlie on the MTA” is as a theme song for Greater Boston. Genius.

☔️: this is maybe a little silly but when Chemistro busted out of his pocket dimension into the mushroom dimension in Wizard Seeking Wizard—he was so happy, i did cry

Thank you for playing!!

Podcast asks

[tryerofpods]

It's kinda sorta still #podcastsunday The Courtship of Mona Mae is a new podcast from @fableandfollypodcasts with only 2 episode so far, and I'm hooked! It's the 1870s and Mona Mae Christophe and her husband, having been released from slavery, are pioneer settlers. When a lawyer comes to tell her her mother, who she was sold away from long ago, is looking for her, and a dispute with a racist neighbor lands Mona with a burned out home and a husband presumed dead, Mona must leave town, and begins a journey to find the truth. Voice acting is well done, and the story is wonderful so far. If you enjoy strong female characters, western romance type stories, historical fiction, and black representation, than this is for you. Honestly, I feel like there are so many stories and perspectives we haven't heard yet from the US post- civil war period, so I love this black, female pioneer. Breaking horses, shooting, and knowing her own mind. Keep going! I can't wait to hear what comes next.
