So between tech and mental health issues, this week is sort of a wash.
We will resume Mama on Tuesday (this would have been an off week) and do back to back content weeks to make up for it.

People should start seeing stuff in the mail anytime.


Thanks for your patience

Old Gods Soundscape Bonus

So we're going to be migrating to our new computer in the next few days--so I've been cleaning up the old desktop and finding old sound files and early experiments from 2018 and 19 when I was feeling out ideas for the show.  I came across this from May of last year where I was getting my feet wet laying out the different types of ambient sound effects and drones that roll in the background of each episode.    People had asked if they could get copies of the actual soundsca...

The Wolf Sisters: Part One

Now with updated audio featuring Stephanie Hickling Beckman as Miss Darla!

To be a wolf is a thing of spring loaded joy, of black gummed panting  death. Of pack and ground. Torn tendon and blood and broken bones in  feasting abandon beneath a split and howling sky.

This Freaking Week.

Family, Thank y'all for your support.  Your dollars are literally keeping the lights on in a couple of cases.  Thank you so much. Please keep it up if you can <3

Build Mama a Coffin – Episode 4: Mama's Boys Part II – Dale
