Episode 12: For Those Who See The End is Coming - Metropolis

For those who see the end is coming. Nan and company now know the secret within the heart of Metropolis. But one cold question remains: will they remain alive long enough to do anything about it?

OK, I can officially announce it. Episode 12 of Metropolis is coming out on *October 15th*. That's the penultimate episode! To be shortly followed by the ultimate episode! Which I pledge will not take nearly as long to get out! 😂 #audiodrama #imseriousitreallyishappening

Good ol' thump-105302.wav, my beloved. Like garlic in a dish. You'd never want to eat it on its own, but somehow makes everything subtly better by being in the mix.

I'm mostly impressed that he managed to eat that giant Italian sub without getting olive oil and vinegar all over his note.

In getting back on the editing train for Metropolis and listening to the raw takes: (a) the whole cast gave incredible performances, and (b) I really need to make a new season so I can work with all of these folks again. But I've got to finish this season first. 😂

Hi @mrfengi.bsky.social! I absolutely am going to finish the series – it's already written and recorded. What I still have to do is *edit* it, and for tedious life reasons, I've been endlessly delayed there. Fortunately the "tedious life reason" clouds are parting, so I should have more here soon!

Whoa, neat! Looks like what is actually flipping up is a mirror that would be angled so that the TV hidden in the cabinet (oriented to face up) would be visible off of it? Really cool! (So long as you don't mind all of the text the TV shows being backwards. 😂)

Lauren Shippen @laurenshippen.com · 03/11/2025

genuinely want to cry at @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social's write-up of The Bright Sessions epilogue - he's been such a huge advocate for the medium from day 1, that the idea of being even a small part of them diving fully into AD is extremely meaningful. everyone should listen to his own amazing shows!

The Bright Sessions

It would be frankly impossible for me to return to covering audio fiction without acknowledging yesterday’s surprise Epilogue to celebrate this show’s tenth anniversary. While Welcome to Night Vale is the show that brought me to this medium, and Limetown, Archive 81, and ars PARADOXICA that kept me here in those early years, it was Lauren Shippen’s voice that truly showed me that this world was something I needed to play an active part in. It was so punk rock, the way in which she took her friends from acting class and together willed their careers into existence by simply making stories that they believed in. We were take to such wonderful heights across 7 brilliant seasons, and I would have been completely okay never visiting these characters again. And yet the way in which it’s delivered? As Dr. Bright delivers updates about this strange and wonderful found family at the graveside of Agent Green, with a brief appearance from Shippen’s own Sam, who was visiting her parents’ plots nearby. It doesn’t feel conspiratorial. It doesn’t feel like we need to be ripped back in because the intrigue never stopped happening. In fact, it feels like we know all we need to know: that these characters we loved are all doing okay. That they love each other. That they’re growing and changing and just doing their best to be the people we loved all along. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I realize the new episode is MONDO, MONDO late. It turns out that a combination of an over-committed consulting schedule and several weeks of single parenting will do that to a production schedule. 😂 But I made progress tonight! And it's sounding great. I really can't wait to bring it to you.

#audiodrama sound editing pro-tip: you hear something differently the fifth time you listen to it versus the first. You'll often hear it as "downtempo" from what it will be to a fresh audience, because your ears know the beats and are starting to get impatient with them. Adjust accordingly.

Episode 12 is way overdue, but I'm making slow but steady progress. It really is coming, and it's sounding great. I may be doing some stuff in the background to set up doing additional Metropolis (and other stories). But first, I need to get the rest of *this* Metropolis out! #audiodrama

Something that is impossibly cool: WHYY just did a big piece about something my spouse/creative-partner (and director of Metropolis) has been working on back in Philly: whyy.org/articles/bea... It's such a beautiful, transcendent show in an incredibly 'Metropolis' space. An incredible creation. 🥲

Gosh do I have a love-hate relationship with audio editing. It's great to get things the way you want them, but the anxiety to get there – the feeling that you might let all the work you've done to get to this point down – is pretty rough! #audiodrama

Metropolis - An Audio Drama @luxradium.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

You're absolutely right that a lifestyle built around dissolute self-indulgence would suggest some very unhealthy people! The way I've always thought of it – Metropolites are extremely unhealthy, but they're thin and unhealthy because they're vain and they're constantly abusing stimulants. 😂

I really wonder how the characters of Metropolis look in people's minds. I give very few cues about how any of the characters look – all you basically know is that Oliver dresses well and Nan has forearms you wouldn't want to mess with. It makes me curious...
