Believe it or not, this project isnt dead. 2026 still has a few months left for me to finish! This has become the "Never give up" Fishguy-Meme for my life, but we're getting there :)

You can also do Feedswaps? But I dont know how succesful that is when you're on a longer break

I imagine (not a professional) you could put BTS or Outtakes or Lorebits and such stuff? Collabs or recommendations for other similar pods?

Recording voices is also super easy because everyone is in the same space and has the same tech available to them🙂‍↕️

Its official: The very last pieces of my #audiodrama Into the Frayed have been recorded!! Its time to sit down one final time and work on the finale and the pilot. Doing that at the same time is surely going to be very unemotional.

I absolutely adore my actors and the amount of life they breathed into my AD. They didnt have to, I cant afford to pay them, but they all brought their a-game and I cant thank them enough 🥹❤️

Weekly #Audiodrama Update: I will never do an AD again and will only write books, why do I do this to myse- Oh! It worked!! Nevermind.

Weekly #Audiodrama Update: Im editing down some amazing performances to a 5 minute monologue and I feel like Frankenstein (the Doctor) making Frankenstein (the monologue).

I know its a good thing, but it still makes you question a little :D

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

I can relate a little bit. But after taking an entire month of (with no shaming myself), its actually going well again. With big projects, you have to be careful not to burn out? Though either way, you always learn skills that you can reapply, so even that "Instagram" thing isnt wasted!

From what I understand, Bluesky is best for Niches still, so dont worry too much - soo many of us are here, that oughta mean something :D

Weekly #Audiodrama Progress: Spend an hour creating a soundspace. Love it. Return the next day. Completely redo it in ten minutes because its just not right in that one specific way but now you finally know what you want. ... This is gonna happen a lot, huh.

120

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Due to chronic illness, I am gonna pretend I never set myself a timer. I still intend to finish this and I hope to release this year. Just the "when" remains ambiguous. See you then!

Tales from the #audiodrama recording studio: "She isnt evil, she is just morally misaligned :)"

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Writing #audiodrama is just an endless amount of "The script is finally, truthfully, for-real-this-time finished!", obviously followed by another rewrite.

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Little introduction post: Into the Frayed is a dark fantasy #audiodrama - the drama being the genre and your emotions being my payment. Its told through letters, takes place over two and a half years, seven episodes and roughly 5 hours. Into the Frayed releases in June 2025.

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Small Update: Since I both broke up with a longterm partner and am in the process of moving away, Im delaying "Into the Frayed" to June 2025! The thought that I "need" to work on it has been really stressing me out and I want this to be my brainchild, not my burden. See you then!🦋

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

The endless debate between "Do I listen to something new and exciting" or "Do I listen to the same #audiodrama that I listen to every year" How is one to decide?

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

You can try a vacation at home and go to museums, parks, community events and such things. Its less about going someplace else and more about the "I dont have to work because im on vacation" mindset. Lock away your work stuff and just enjoy, you know?

000

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Heres the bad news: A proper Burnout takes weeks to recover from. But if you arent quite there yet, I would recommend taking a vacation of at least 8 Days. Set yourself a Budget, plan a bit, have fun. If you feel just as exhausted afterwards, please see a therapist!

010

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Honestly, you just sound like you have burnout. Which is valid. When was the last time you actually took a break? Like... No Work, No project planning, being somewhere else, doing fun stuff? Maybe afterwards you'll have a clearer mind. Nothing wrong with taking a break though!

The inherent need to make art is forever challenged by a foe beyond reason or reckon: Chores. A thousand curses.

My Laptop, if its continous sirring through editing attempts is any indication.

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

I love my brain. The moment I finish writing and start producing, Im thinking of new worlds and new stories. Thank you, beloved brain soup. We have a project though. The slots are filled, commissions are clos... - Hey. Hey. Stop that. (Dont worry, production isnt writing, we're going strong :P)

010

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

This shadow I actually find quite useful! I think the visual problem is more that clear lines are always better than padded ones - and any "Info" needs to be distinct from another. Maybe you could make the shadows less... Similar? More opaque or grey? A different "texture" even?

120

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

I think it adds a lot of visual clutter - your "shaded" sides already give a good amount of distinction and make clear and precise lines. It may also be because you only have one block elevation - what does it look like with two or three (when shadow would be "necessary")?

On one side, I understand that AI is a tool that can be used for many a thing, same as you could stab someone with a screwdriver. On the other hand, I dont want to listen to anything that couldnt be bothered to be made by humans. Im sorry it had to happen to one of your favs!

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

[2/2] If this is the worst thing that happens during production, i'll gladly take it. Lets hope none of the actually important files corrode. I'm already paranoid enough!

000

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

[1/2] Today, we lost two hours of recording time due to a technological error. But dont worry. All the important communication wasnt entirely lost, due to the miracle saving medium called brain we both possess. Re-recording should flow fairly quickly.

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

I am not done with Season 1. Far from it. I never planned on a Season 2. But I am *thinking* about it for some reason. Dont know if this is hubris, warranted or just dumb. Anyways, you'll find me in the writers room.

010

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

I feel that. Ive been writing and working on Into the Frayed so long and yet everytime someone sends me something Im reminded that I actually am *doing* this. The project just floats in a void and everytime it hits the edges of the TV, i remember.

120

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I have never done this. Never. Do not lool at my Tumblr or ask my VAs. They are lying.

000

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

I was really worried that we can only do asynch for a while - how it would affect quality, if it would be more effort for my VAs, if things got lost in translation - and in one singular recording, @delaylays.bsky.social made me believe it didnt matter. I have an amazing cast. Absolutely blessed!

Recording your Audio Drama like: ... Who made these bitches so gay?

walking the streets of Toronto at 2am, a Tasmanian Tiger crosses my path. we stare at each other. it knows I'm practicing poor sleep hygiene. I know that it went extinct 90 years ago. we nod at each other - agreeing to keep each other's secret - and carry on walking

Oh yeah, absolutely. You have to stop at some point, give yourself a deadline. Otherwise you'll turn into Goethe and spend 30 years writing a questionable metaphor that - even after what amounts to be almost 11K days of it all - isnt finished. Dont be Goethe.

I thought it was good and then I made the mistake of listening again. Dont open Pandoras Box. Remain in blissful ignorance of your past :P (We both know its not that bad and usually a sign of progress and growth, but its still a little annoying)

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Writing Audio Drama is an endless effort to polish and pressure a piece of coal into a diamond. Its only weeks and months later that you realise everything was sparkly already except for that one thing you thought was fine. (In loving memory of my BA "Hilde", you need a spectro.)

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Things I didnt expect to learn this year: Using Reaper for what its actually about (= music). Can you believe that? No no. Its for Audio Drama. Audio Drama only.

000

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Thank you so much for mentioning my Audio Drama! I really appreciate it! Still cant believe people are finding me and waiting for it, its kinda baffling :')

Anyone can make a great fiction podcast. All you need is a Blue Yeti, some friends who are willing to speak nonsense into the record, some free editing software, a willingness to enter into a Faustian bargain with the dark presence in the lands beyond the shadows, and the gumption to make min 6 eps.

The pain of being done with the script, leaving it for weeks because nobody has time to record anything and then opening it up only to find hundreds of things to polish. I love writing. I promise, the polish is making it better :')

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Me, as Im editing: Who thought doing this in all-monologues was a good idea? Who wrote that section like that? Where are the instructions for this part? Why is there not a good transition? I mean, seriously. My script, my Laptop, my desk lamp, the entire room: 👁️👁️

030

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

I will absolutely make one, this list is super helpful. Once Im done, I'll reach back out to you, thank you so much!!

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

I admit I hadnt thought of that, since its an Indie Production and I wouldnt know which "press" to target. So thank you for the Input! I'll make myself smart on it and we'll see. If there is one, I will send it to you, otherwise you'll get another kind of notification.

Sometimes, you look at your Voice Actors and you look at the characters they are playing and you look at your Voice Actors again and some things just make sense. (I say this with love. Believe me. I have never used unreliable narrators in my life, after all).

Into the Frayed Pod @intothefrayedpod.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

I know I have showed this to everyone, but since I am in the middle of recording everything up until the Mid Season Finale, why not show it to more people? (I spent too much time on this, forgive my hubris). Anyways: Releasing in April 2025. Im now convinced I'll manage that :P

One side of the image is an orange background with high stylised plant-postmarks cluttered all over. The other is an oily green with a very detailed moth drawing. The text reads "Into the Frayed".
