I think the finale sets a personal record for most dialogue tracks in a single scene.😅

Screenshot of a Logic Pro audio-editing session titled “DRD S01E10 Church Scene - Tracks.” The timeline contains multiple color-coded tracks: purple ambience clips across the top, orange sound effects, and many green dialogue clips for characters including Jack, Daria, Gavin, Mrs. Corcoran, Bell, Jenkins, Harlow, Jamie, Mercer, and Survey Imp. Track controls and mixing meters appear along the left, with the playhead positioned near the start of the project.

In case you were wondering, yes, Harlow in DRD was named in honor of Jean Harlow.

In the UK you have the right to "Quiet Enjoyement" this means your landlord can't be dropping in all the time, bothering you or telling you who can visit and when! It's your HOME thats what the MONEY IS FOR

Am I above dropping a "Doctor Who" Easter egg into one of my scripts out of nowhere? No. No I am not.😅

Screenshot of a screenplay page spanning a page break. Jenkins says:

“He never got that far. He references an artifact called the ‘Key to Time,’ another multi-part artifact that used a fake final piece with some success.”

A horizontal page-break divider appears across the middle of the image. The lower page is numbered 22.

Harlow says:

“The ‘Key to Time?’ Never heard of it.”

Jenkins replies:

“Neither have I. It’s mentioned in his notes from 1979.”

Episode 6 of "Dark Road Diaries," "Quiet Enjoyment," is live! Jack, Daria, Monsignor Jenkins, and Harlow navigate perhaps their most challenging and terrifying situation yet - a Demon HOA. #audiodrama #podcast #comedy

Illustrated podcast cover for Dark Road Diaries. In a misty blue-gray forest, a dark-haired young woman in a blue jacket and white shirt holds an open book as glowing teal magical swirls rise from its pages. Beside and slightly behind her, a curly-haired young man in a tan jacket raises a sword and looks off to the right in alarm. His T-shirt has a cassette tape graphic on it. Neon green triangular icons around them contain silhouettes of monsters or cryptid-like figures. Large bright green and yellow title text across the lower half reads “DARK ROAD DIARIES,” with white text below: “A SUPERNATURAL COMEDY AUDIO FICTION PODCAST.”

Let me be very clear. Once Upon a Wasteland Productions could not be more strongly against this proposal by the FCC. It is not simply hurtful & unnecessary, but harmful. It exists purely to other normal people living their lives as they have for millennia. Please comment your opposition. We have.

Here are the character descriptions and audition sides.

AUTO ATTENDANT
Unpaid

An unnervingly cheerful automated voice for the infernal bureaucracy, the auto attendant handles possession claims, binding disputes, portal incidents, and “the nature of your damnation” with the soulless politeness of a customer-service phone tree from hell. Should sound calm, blandly professional, and relentlessly chipper, making the absurd horror of the situation funnier by never acknowledging how terrifying it is. Think “corporate IVR system,” but for demons.

Language: English
Voice Description: Female Adult, English (American)

AUDITION LINES

For possession services, say “possession.” For binding disputes, say “binding.” For portal-related incidents, say “portal.” For all other inquiries, please briefly describe the nature of your damnation.

Recognized categories include owner, holder, claimant, witness, tempter, sponsor, adversary, guarantor, and next of kin.

Thank you for contacting the Office of Transitional Occupancy and Vessel Management. Your damnation is important to us.

RESTAURANT OWNER
Unpaid

The seasoned proprietor of the Starlight Lounge, the Owner is calm, perceptive, and almost impossible to rattle. After 32 years in the restaurant business, they have seen proposals, breakups, lawsuits, small fires, and at least one official exorcism, so Jack and Daria’s supernatural candleholder disaster barely makes the top ten. Should feel warm but firm, dryly funny, and quietly wise — someone who can make a line about property damage sound like hospitality and a bit of romantic advice feel genuinely earned.

Language: English
Voice Description: Male Adult, All American Accents

AUDITION LINES

I spoke with Monsignor Jenkins about you. Our conversation implied that you weren’t the types to engage in vandalism during dinner. He said you were good people.

Mr. Fletcher, I have owned this restaurant for 32 years. I have seen proposals, breakups, reunions, accusations, reconciliations, one exorcism, and a wedding reception that ended in a lawsuit and a small fire.

Grand romantic gestures are difficult. Don’t let one difficult evening make you afraid to try again.
