I spent my weekend building a new desk and reorganising my setup and tonight I'll be stress testing it as we continue work on our lo-fi remix of @jochiang.bsky.social's Hearthbound 8pm UK/3pm Eastern twitch.tv/tincanaudio

a cluttered, messy computer desk sits on the left side of the image while an empty, black desk sits on the right. In the middle, perpendicular to the desks are two synths stacked on a double keyboard stand.

The same two desks. The desk on the right is now full of synthesizers, machines and a reel-to-reel tape machine. The desk on the left is still cluttered, but in a sort of tidier way

I'm making a video game!! My Darling Monk is a story of choice, change, and transformation. It's also a story of being irresistibly yummy to monsters (smash), solving problems for useless monarchs (pass), and having absolutely no powers at all.

I've been enjoying Hearthbound a lot. I especially loved the "I'm nobody" inclusion. An unexpected benefit of listening to Hearthbound is that I might finally be ready to read my copy of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey <3

I just finished Hearthbound: An Untelling Of The Odyssey (@jochiang.bsky.social) 🚐🐕 It was exactly what I needed for this week. A fresh and unapologetically queer take on the Ancient Greek tale in the form of an apocalyptic road trip, featuring gorgeous music, and a beautiful, cosy love story.

Oop late again on #audiodramasunday. Here's Gentleman Cat as tribute. [Sue Perkins voice] It's mythology week! Hearthbound's my own queer, brown, Americana take on The Odyssey, and the best thing about myths is how many spins can be spun. Sapphic, anti-colonial, irreverent, you name it! Let's go!

I'm in SLC, officiating a wedding for my dear friends, then heading deeper into the desert for some camping under the dark skies of Utah. In honor of that, this #audiodramasunday, we're going west (but weird). This round-up went up on other platforms last week, but I totally forgot bluesky lol–

It's time you met Calypso. Episode 4 now available on all podcast platforms. Poster by the marvelous @rosenkranz.bsky.social!

A digitally illustrated poster by Rosenkranz, in a painterly style. Odessa, in orange coveralls and a green bandanna, crouches with Mack, her blue heeler dog, in front of her yellow van on a sandy lot. He's barking at a figure off-screen, whose shadow looms menacingly over the two of them. Next to Odessa is her souped-up radio guitar.

Our director, Jack, calls this our sapphic Red Dead Redemption episode (and he's not wrong). And get a load of this incredible poster by @mariahrosemarie.bsky.social! Featuring the prince of quince trees! Catch ep 3 of Hearthbound now wherever you listen.

A digitally illustrated poster by Mariah-Rose Marie. The text reads HEARTHBOUND and No. 3 and "STASIMON". The top panel shows a mug of tea, a tea strainer, and a plate of leek fritters.

In the foreground, a yellow van putters along the dusty road. A strange, five-legged lizard watches from a rock. In the distance, there is a barn and some sheep. The sheep also look... just a little bit off. On the road towards the barn is a sign with a three-pointed spiral.
