Certainly nothing weird. Why would you even suggest that? Listen close. Don't wander off. It's a long way to get where you're going. Especially out here.

1940, Los Angeles. Openly gay private eye Dash Malone, combats a society that rejects him, a lover who isn’t honest with him, and a rash of brutal murders that are somehow connected with his new prospective client, the mysterious Zita Makara. As the bodies stack up, Dash discovers the seemingly unrelated parts of his life are really pieces of a larger puzzle. Can he conquer the monsters of the past to stop a terrifying future from occurring?
Ripped from the pages of the hit indie comic book, this audio drama is a reimagined queer take on a classic genre that’s a blend of noir, horror, and mystery.
“A love letter, a critique, and a kick in the ass to the modern moment long overdue.” - Comic book writer Steve Orlando.

Re-discover the amazing story of the 1999 cult classic - Planescape: Torment.
A fully voiced re-telling of the game's story with a modern take and narrative drive.
I hope to follow on from Rhyss Hess' example in lovingly creating an homage to this wonderful story, that aims to allow new and existing fans to enjoy the narrative in an episodical, fully voiced, unofficial audio series. I will be mostly using Dan Simpson's in-depth guide to cover as much content as possible in one single playthrough.
This series began as a way to challenge and stretch my voice over and audio editing capabilities; and since, has become a vast passion project where I re-experience one of my all-time favourite stories, bringing renewed life to the beautifully written characters.

La perdita dei sensi colpisce indiscriminatamente adulti e anziani, donne e uomini lasciando indenni i bambini. Il contagio avviene nell’arco di pochi mesi.
Alcune persone perdono la vista, altri l’udito, l’uso della parola, altri ancora la memoria.
Nei boschi di conifere della Val di Sole, i gemelli Bruno e Benji fanno una scoperta sensazionale. Una scoperta che li porterà a confrontarsi con un mondo in conflitto con sé stesso e con gli equilibri naturali. Un eco-thriller in 9 episodi che è una corsa contro il tempo e contro il pensiero ad una sola dimensione, per ritrovare il Senso del vivere all’interno di una comunità.
🎲
SENSO non è solo un podcast, è anche un gioco di carte in cui non c’è spazio per l'individualismo e lo spirito competitivo: si vince o si perde tutti insieme. La sua meccanica collaborativa lo rende imprevedibile e divertente, perfetto sia per le serate con gli amici, che per fare team building o educare alla cooperazione.
