Observable Radio

It's been a long time since I've seen the Storm. Some internal engine of the universe has wound down. Only our tribe matters. A short tale of changes and travel, read by our own Observer, Phil van Hest. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3m5k... Transcript:

Happy International day of Transgender Visibility! All my homies say Trans Rights are Human Rights / anyone who's cool knows it too. We see you out there. Choose to be yourself and know that we have your back. Much love and respect today (and every day)! 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrights #transdayofvisibility

It's Trans Day of Visibility and we want to say how much we appreciate the trans people in our cast and crew who, in the midst of a cultural siege, loaned us their talents. Trans people have always been part of shaping our arts and culture, and we will always uplift and include them in our stories.

Minneapolis is headed towards something resembling a general strike, if you were wondering how the campaign to cow working people into quiescence is going

if you haven't read jezebel's 2018 coverage of the listserv where 400+ "left-of-center" transphobic "journalists" methodically orchestrated the current moment, it's a good companion to the TNN interview: www.jezebel.com/private-mess...

Folks, over at our Patreon, we’re looking back at the year, what went wrong, and what is still to come. The most important parts are: we could not continue without you, we *intend* to continue, and we have the season two theme to share with you. Happy new year. Survive out of spite.

In completely different states, even! Seriously tho. And wear a mask, especially if you’re sick 🤧😷

Sorry for the Radio Silence folks, but we have been utterly macerated by the Flu. Get your shots, drink your fluids, take a nap. We’ll be back, but we’ll be late.

While I'm both thinking about this and recommending podcasts,let me tell yoh that @observableradio.com is really good too

The snow falls tonight as a storm rages on the Radio. Hella awesome.

I fell asleep for multiple days and forgot to promote our new episode. We have a new episode. Hang on let me get some links, just a moment let me lie down for a second…

Relevant @observableradio.com episode: www.observableradio.com/episodes/tra...

I have been informed that there’s another important holiday in October, so please feel free to listen to our latest episode as a Halloween episode as well.

If you listened to this story last night, you listened to it on exactly the date and time it took place in 1962. This means something. For the rest of you, there’s still time to enjoy @purpurinastitch.bsky.social reading a cozy small town tale of alternate history and philosophical disagreements.

If you’re interested in more on the same theme, this story originally appeared in the anthology “shadows of Main Street,” from the folks who would found @badhandbooks.bsky.social, with an absolute rogue’s gallery of other contributors.

Iä, pardner!

October 28, 1962. The whole world watches with bated breath. But they're looking in the wrong direction. Supplemental Frequency 11: "The Crisis" is on every radio and TV. Just listen. SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/49vR... APPLE: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... TRANSCRIPT

For that most important of October holidays, we have a very special episode… to mark the anniversary of the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, of course.

We beg to differ.

Hey @observableradio.com patrons, we have a *really* important poll up and would gladly appreciate your input. Available on every level, including the free one: www.patreon.com/posts/141737...

I put together a fancy image for Metropolis' birthday, and had to share it. Thank you so much to the thousands of you who have listened to our show in the past year. You are all amazing! 😄 Can't wait to bring you the ending of this saga over the next few weeks! ❤️🤖🌃 #audiodrama

If you’re looking for some horror fiction to listen to and you haven’t checked out @observableradio.com, I’d recommend you give us a listen. We’re posting short stories every month as we chip away at season 2, and some folks said season 1 gave them nightmares :)

Back to reality today for me! Good luck to my friends at @wrongdimension.bsky.social, @wizardscroll69.bsky.social, @partialveil.bsky.social, @observableradio.com, and @dicetowertheatre.bsky.social today at the @njwebfest.bsky.social gala, as well as all of the new friends I've made over the fest!

Without Myst (and more importantly, Riven) Observable Radio would be a very different beast. Bring me… blue pages.

After 1 year, 3 months, and a hand full of days. The beginning of the end. Episode 9 available now. tinyurl.com/wm493fpp

Did you know we have a YouTube channel where our episodes exist in video form? Once upon a time our host hopefully posted every episode as a video, but now the onus falls on Cameron, which means it’s behind. However we should be caught back up in a couple of weeks, as we stagger the backlog!

We have a new Halloween adjacent story for the beginning of the season! Liam Gregory of @centromikascifi.bsky.social has made you from blueberry pancakes, for this special meal.

When I first started this story it was absolutely about a Capgras delusion, but I think it’s so much more interesting as an open-ended folk horror/suburban fairy tale. Plus, fucked up deer.

This was my favorite of the interseason stories so far. Heart-wrenching twist to this paradigm of story.

We literally have an @observableradio.com episode about why this sucks Like I know we keep posting this about various news stories but 1) the power of anthologies I guess, we cover a lot of ground 2) STOP MAKING THE TORMENT NEXUS YOU GUYS

Beetle-shell eyes in the October sun. We all know what has to happen. Coins dropped down a well, vanishing as they go. Supplemental Frequency 09: “Last Halloween” is now live everywhere. APPLE: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/6L96... TRANSCRIPT

Can I just say that as a new listener, @observableradio.com ‘s ‘Large Models’ episode is way too kriffing relevant? Which is why it was the most disturbing episode.
