    Introducing: The Mechadova Engine

    2026/02/22 | 23 mins.
    The Mechadova Engine is crowdfunding! Support this new show at kck.st/4aFhye6

    The Mechadova Engine is an upcoming 15-episode queer steampunk audio drama. The story follows Log, who has spent their entire life, as far as they can remember, alone inside a single library train carriage in the sky. Their only knowledge of the outside world is limited to books from a long time ago on earth.

    Log has never thought to question their existence or the world outside, until one day their carriage stops. Here, they meet Tinker, a member of a resistance group, who turns their world upside down.

    It's a story about meaningless structures, the power of community, and how knowledge is preserved and retold.

    Re: Frankenstein is Crowdfunding

    2025/10/14 | 1 mins.
    I'm part of a team crowdfunding for an audio drama adaptation of Frankenstein! Find out more (and support our new show) at ⁠⁠igg.me/at/refrank⁠⁠.

    In this trailer you heard Sena Bryer as Victor Frankenstein and Josie D. Sumner as The Monster. Dialogue editing and sound design by Stephen Indrisano. Music by Amber Devereux. Transcript ⁠⁠here⁠⁠. 

    More about Re: Frankenstein:

    Re: Frankenstein is an audio adaptation of Frankenstein from the team behind Re: Dracula and Re: Carmilla. We had such a great time adapting these two gothic novels and we can’t wait to take on something less vampiric and a little more… monstrous? Or perhaps it’s a little more human.

    This show will be a faithful, text-accurate adaptation of Mary Shelly's novel, featuring a full cast to tug on your heartstrings and sound design to keep you on the edge of your seat. Featuring a award winning all-trans cast, Re: Frankenstein will bring this Gothic masterpiece to glorious un-life. 

    Did you love The Magnus Archives, The Silt Verses, Camlann, The Sheridan Tapes, or Midnight Burger? What about Final Fantasy XIV, Zombies Run, or Marvel Move? Voice actors from all these productions are part of Re: Frankenstein! And that’s not to mention our crew, who can be found behind shows like The Bright Sessions, The Tower, ROGUEMAKER, Shelterwood, Inn Between, and Someone Dies In This Elevator. 

    Each chapter of Frankenstein is an episode of Re: Frankenstein. Content warnings will be present at the top of episodes, where needed.  Re: Frankenstein will be released for free, but those who help us fund the project will get additional perks, including a full audiobook, digital downloads, shout-outs, and more! The cast of Re: Frankenstein will consist entirely of transgender voice actors. We believe that now is the time to lift and celebrate trans voices and artists; to tell stories about monsters and those who get to define them; and to pay everyone involved a fair and equitable wage. Your support will go directly towards our incredible cast and crew.

    Introducing: MOONBURN

    2025/04/02 | 28 mins.
    When a down-on-his-luck 18 year old named Lucas moves into a NYC boarding home for a fresh start, he discovers decades-old diary cassette tapes left behind by the room’s first occupant, Carter. The tapes foreshadow tragedy, but they also lay out a beautiful path for surviving in the city. With the heartfelt stories and invaluable advice contained within these tapes, Lucas embarks on his journey— through the trials and tribulations of life in a new city, accepting himself, creating lifelong friendships, falling in love, and even uncovering a few more mysteries about his new home.
