Meet the latest addition to the Monstrous Productions team - Absolute Unit! 😻 Currently chilling out under the bookcase, taking a break from the spotlight 💕

Only two more sleeps til Catmas!! 🎉🐈 Much discussion has been had re. nicknames for Absolute Unit. My faves so far are Lulu and Nicholas Courtney bc I'm dweeb. Any other suggestions?

I genuinely do recommend Libro.fm if you're in the market for audiobooks - especially if you're looking a good alternative to a certain other company...! If you've been thinking about it, take this as a sign to give it go (and get me a free audiobook while you're at it 😘) libro.fm/referral?rf_...

you are not alone.

What I like about this is that it could be read to mean Girolamo didn't in fact die from the incident

From people's reactions, I feel like Monstrous Agonies really took seriously the phrase "kill them with kindness" 😂 Thank you so much for listening! xx

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO LIVE AT MONSTROUS HQ!!

Hello, friends! Pleased to say that Matt and I are finally getting our arses into gear for TLS2 😅 We have a Big Serious Planning Session in the diary for tomorrow afternoon, where we'll put a firm launch date on the new season and figure out what all we need to do to get there. Updates to follow! 😍

Four hours and only a couple more donations to go until we hit the first one of these!! Tiny.cc/nqd4

In the library, listening to a little boy repeatedly, confidently declare "M is for BOY!!" Adult voices trying to shush him, whispering "M is for mouse!" But his truth will not be silenced!!!

IF YOU - gay - vampires - science - fear AND sexy - bite listen to Not Quite Dead, it's where podcasts also sign up to be notified about the S4 crowdfund: tiny.cc/nqd4

I and the rest of the Re: Dracula team are adapting Frankenstein next year, and we want to cast entirely Trans VAs! All roles are paid $35/hour of recording time. We're using this call to form a roster to cast specific characters from. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Welcome to the party - we're delighted to have you with us! 🥂

and then i get to the bus stop and she IS NOT THERE. she had arrived on time exactly as planned and then simply WANDERED OFF despite not knowing where i live or where she was. chaotic neutral old lady spending her retirement causing problems on purpose.

My little old mum is coming to visit tomorrow, which is very lovely and exciting, but I made the foolish error of offering to meet her off the bus from the ferry. She'll be arriving at around 8.30AM, which isn't too bad unless you're aware that I generally go to bed around 4AM and sleep til noon 🙃

hello chaps, looking some book recs! does anyone have any good SFF by british or irish authors of colour? any era, any genre (as long as its spec fic!) looking to add to my tbr 💕

thinking about accessibility in video games and the intersection of multiple needs as i turn off subtitles in dragon age origins because they're so small they give me headaches 😅🙃

If a short fiction outlet can't respond to your submission in 1 month (2 max, if your story was 2nd-rounded) then they should accept simultaneous submissions, because otherwise they're just holding stories hostage. I've had prescient stories become merely relevant waiting for a 9-month rejection.

Where are my PoC/Global Majority TTRPG-playing femmes? We want to give you a seat at one of our tables in March!

I did a whole talk about this for the Audio Drama Convention run by podcastbookclub. The problem isn't that the community doesn't like BIPOC characters or actors, it's that many don't try to seek them out. Many simply go with what's presented to them, and those are often White Male driven shows.

It's #AudioDramaSunday which means it's a perfect time to drop the casting call for our new miniseries--Absolutely No Adventures Presents: Necessary Evil! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

her: i LOVE 80’s hair bands! me: me too! her: do you have a favorite? me: oh that’s tough...i guess i’m a little partial to the scrunchie. her:

Casting call for a secret project of Noah’s, the creator of @allatseapod.bsky.social. Our editor will also be a part of this project! Definitely send in your auditions if you see this - it will surely be a wild ride.

I have also been reminded of my long-held grudge against the NYT crossword being used as a short-hand for someone being sooo smaaart. It's a trivia game!! A glorified wordsearch!! It's NOTHING!! The puzzles my little old mum does of an evening would make the NYT crossword bleed from its eyeballs!!

[niche content alert] how do cryptic crossword setters decide whether they need to put a ? in or not? like they just look at their clue like "yeah to be fair i am being a bit of a bollocks here" in other news, im getting back into cryptic crosswords, turns out i dont know any words at all 🙃

"cut your own hair," they said. "it'll be fun," they said. (I'm they)
