Waiting For October

Hi folks! I hope you've enjoyed the first episode of our new miniseries. We're in-between weeks now, and it's a great time to talk a little about one of my favourite shows! Sidequesting is a fun little low-stakes audio drama about the random adventures in life, doing good in the world, meeting good people, and not missing out on the beauty still out there. Tal is one of my favourite people and they've made a show that's so easy to adore - and I've even gotten to write for it a couple of times! So stick around and listen, see what you think, and then go look up "Sidequesting" in your favourite podcast app and keep on listening! All the best, and we'll be back next week with more To-The-Moon miniseries action!

⁠⁠Sidequesting⁠⁠ is a fantasy podcast about avoiding the main plot. It follows an adventurer who’s willing to help anyone out, as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard that everyone keeps talking about.

If you like indie audio fiction, new takes on fantasy tropes, lighthearted stories, queer joy, or avoiding the main plots of life, you'll love Sidequesting! You can find out more about the show and support them on ⁠⁠kickstarter⁠⁠ by going to ⁠⁠sidequestingpod.com⁠⁠.

Funding this production supports indie art and queer creatives in a world where that support is increasingly hard to find. If you've been looking for lighthearted family-friendly fantasy stories with modern representation, you've found it!

Trailer Transcript below:

R: Hey! I’m Robin, that’s Tina, and we work on the show Waiting
For October.

T: And we have 30 seconds to tell you about our new miniseries,
To The Moon. Which, obviously it’s a Moonbase reunion –

R: Absolutely. And it’s stock-filled with family drama –

T: Uh, because it’s a rescue mission, kind of, possibly?

R: Yeah, kind of a rescue mission – definitely a rescue
mission, but you should see the questionable traveling conditions.

T: Oh my god you need to call OSHA right the hell now. Is
there a fictional OSHA?

R: There might be now.

T: Oh my god. Uh, uh, uh – we also have a Josh Rubino.

R: Does this all make sense?

R: To The Moon: a Waiting For October miniseries.

We're back with one more little chat / Q&A post-S1, this time with Deej, our sound designer Caroline Mincks, and our composer for the show Trace Callahan! All things audio are discussed, analyzed, joked about, and explained away before your very ears.

Your Waiting For October Producers are: D.J. Sylvis, Tina Case, Sarah Mueller, and Robin Regalado!

This should be the end of your Waiting For October Season 1 content! We'll be moderately silent for a while, as Deej writes and then we work on producing the first between-seasons miniseries, taking us to October's Moon! We'll see if there are any callbacks to another moon in another universe ... ;)

Welcome, listeners - Deej here, and we've got another one of our favourite shows to share with you - and this one should definitely connect with fans of October! Hi Nay - you've heard of Hi Nay already, haven't you? If not, go find it in your podcast apps right now while I keep going! Hi Nay is a Filipino-led folk horror anthology podcast set right here in my city, Toronto - where the main character, Mari, is doing everything in her considerable powers to stop dangerous supernatural events across the city, from ghostly possessions to cursed items to occultists banding against her. And it's more than just a horror story - Hi Nay also dives deep into the life and history of Filipinos and the challenges of the immigrant experience. You can feel it all intensely and immediately from the first episode, and I know you'll be as captivated as I've been if you keep going from there. Take a listen, right here and right now, mayyyybe with the lights on to be safe ... but then go continue the story on their feed! Here's Hi Nay!
