🌞 Episode 2
🕊️ Open Tomb 1
🥖Vagabond
A half-decent ranger on patrol runs into an emaciated strange girl in the woods. She's dodgy, inconsistent, and strange... and really likes ration biscuits.
Her origin is unknown, but she seems relieved to have escaped from something?

Vignettes is now available on Bandcamp!
You can, of course, stream the show for free on any podcast player (this option is always available 💜) But if you'd like to spare $10AUD for an indie creator -perhaps a belated bday gift- here's the link lealawson.bandcamp.com/album/vignet...#BandcampFriday
International podcast day (or close enough) is upon us! Please check out these *wonderful* pods whilst the life monster has swallowed ISR (thank you for your patience, friends. We'll be back!)

End of Sept already?! That's another lap of the sun for me
38 was A LOT. Breaking. Rebuilding. Lightbulbs. Grief. Kindness. Trust. Friendships. Pain. Unlearning. Isolation. Leaps. W a i ting. Acceptance. Habits +/-. Health BS. Swings. Play. Possibility.
What's 39 look like? Here's to finding out 🫴
P.S if a sugar daddy &/or mommy could sneak into my Kofi, that'd be great 😂 Having a day job but no shifts has been trying to say the least 🙃
And AD barely pays but I'm as committed as ever to stay in it (but I also should get a move on into the world of eLearning & the like so I can actually earn)
🌳 Zombiewatch
🌞 Edelweiss
🎙️ Rock Erekson
Rock Erekson is "Edelweiss" but we're having trouble establishing a signal?
Edelweiss? Are you there? Edelweiss come in. Damn, its almost all static. We're going to send someone out to Tower Six to work on the antennae. It's probably the weather.
Witness the bi disaster in her natural habitat.
Happy bi visibility day to those who celebrate, and also to those who cannot publicly 🩷💜🩵
(This is your cue to flirt with me. Or don't. I'm gonna watch Silo season 2 with a cat & some Milo icecream, because that's what I have going on 👉☺️👉)
🌳 Zombiewatch
🌞 Fox
🎙️ Kristofer Daye
Kris is 2kb tall, because he won't give us another picture. He is also "Fox".
Fox always has something to say even if no one asked. He's Calypso's best friend and worst enemy. He's really reliable in a pinch, but outside of a pinch? He'll just provide snark.
Do you climb towers with no ladders and a broken ankle, and then offer to read The Odyssey to a stranger? Just me?
You can meet my competent dork of a backpacker (and the rest of the Firewatch) in RSL episode 1, thread 1, of season 1 now 📻
Podlink below! 🎧
🌳 Zombiewatch
🌞 Dispatch
🎙️ Sandra Murphy
When the mother of Firewatch speaks, you listen (unless you're Fox)
Sandra Murphy was one of the actors we were most excited to have on this project because of what she brings to the feel of Zombiewatch. Firewatch respects Dispatch, and we respect Sandra.
🌳 Zombiewatch
🌞 Calypso
🎙️ Ani Rey
Co-starring along Lea Lawson is Ani Rey as "Calypso".
Calypso is a ball of sunshine—lacking in self-confidence, positivity, and manners. What she does have is an over commitment to her job and a kind of stubbornness that really makes her PRIME Best Friend material

🌞 Ainsley
🎙️ Lea Lawson
RSL is launching Zombiewatch, the first of the Three Parallel Threads of Season 1.
A returning actor from Season 0, Lea is co-starring Zombiewatch as Ainsley, an out of place Australian backpacker now stranded in the woods.
Commissions Now Open.
🖌️ corgiani.carrd.co
Hello! I'm a motion GFX artist, illustrator, and animator with over a decade of experience. I'm opening up commissions for the first time in 2 years.
I have fast turnarounds, reasonable rates, and I'm currently really in need of clients.
Please share ❤️
Hey guys, if you're gonna share that one meme I made like a million years ago on Tumblr, share the original, not the horrible auto-smoothed traced version. Don't smooth out my angry, "it's 11 at night and I have FEELINGS ABOUT ART" hand wobbles, they're part of the piece!
The Sidequesting Season 4 kickstarter is live! I'm looking to raise $2k to fund 10 episodes.

Wasn't sure if father's day was gonna affect me in some way this year.
It did.
This year's variant of emotions was fear 🎉
A very tricky thing to wrangle; esp when you weren't hit with a specific moment you were scared in. To work through.
A few days & it has passed. Mostly. Did my best to not
overdo anything, or hold any expectation of me other than try find comfort. So comfy clothes, days in bed, no deadline chasing, & Call of Cthulhu game apparently was calming? lmao. Despite not feeling pretty today I took selfies coz a project requested & 2mrw I'm back to work & walk. Fear will pass.
This speed reading method triples your pace, from 300 words per minute to 900, by cutting subvocalization and reading in word groups instead of one at a time.
Last night I was ✨stressed✨ because my cat had deleted an important project file by jumping on the keyboard when I had a group drive open 🙃 (found elsewhere later). Tonight, I've had an absolute blast in a table read. My voice is still off but the energy was 🔥 Cast was great! I am so keen for this!!
Your favorite APs make *no* money
I can count on maaaaybe two hands the number of shows that make enough to pay their creators rent
So go review them! Make some fan art! Donate to their Patreon! Show them how much their hard work means to you
I’ve noticed a prevalent myth in the AP space that once you reach a certain threshold of success, it gets “easier”. I think this is actually a pretty dangerous myth, bc it encourages small creators to burn themselves out, work unsustainably, in hopes of reaching a magical land of ~easier~. 🧵
H'okay. Voice isn't fully cooperating, also heavy rain outside isn't good for audio anyway.. so this is now an editing day! I have two thirds of an episode's dialogue waiting ever so patiently for me to finally cut down. I do dis? I do dis. Even if in little bursts throughout the day, I vill do dis.
Okay, half an hour of audio locked (well, subject to change on final listen, but assumed locked!) Now dance break -because I usually edit for hours without stretching which is naughty!- and then one final half hour to attack with the proverbial scissors!
(FYI Titoh/Gratch sibling energy is peak 😂)

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
One must imagine Sisyphus super ripped and enjoying a quiet morning outside. Probably he’s wearing a henley and a pair of tan carpenter’s pants. Nobody even minds the boulder falling anymore. It’s like the whistle at the old mill at the end of the day. One must imagine Sisyphus cracking a cold one
A little reminder that enjoying yourself is never a waste of time. Hours into a videogame isn't a waste of time. Learning something for fun isn't a waste of time. I love learning new things, I have so many I learned once and never did again. Never a waste of time.
Check out the trailer for S1! The whole cast is back & we've had some more VAs join us in multiple story threads!
I'm playing someone else this round. Trinculo calls were brutal; maybe my backpacker will be in less danger..? Maybe.

Well this has happened?! 🤯 Incredibly proud to announce that this show, my little improvised audio drama, has been selected as as nominee for Best Fiction Podcast in the 2026 Sydney Web Fest!
Thanks for listening, SWF. Honoured to be amongst the nominees 💜

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it"
they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.
Oh hey, it's our show! (amongst some wonderful others). So rad - thanks for the RSL mention @ear-wax-magazine.bsky.social🤘😁
#RadioSanLazaro#AudioDrama#AudioFiction#ZoomCallsAreDeadly
Thank you for the kind words from EAR WAX magazine about Season 0! I love the passion for it, but S1 might be a bit different than you expect.
I think we need to make an announcement that Season 1 is much closer than you expect.

be the weird wacky light that shines welcoming to all w love in their hearts, and give back all you can and all that you dont need.
these are the lessons dolly & tim wanted for us, so lets keep them going.
