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.

Hi, my name is Bert Rock, and I am the creator of this podcast, which is a storytelling time for kids. It all started back during the pandemic, when we were all getting locked down, quarantined, wearing masks and washing our groceries. My best friends had a five year old son named Simon at the time, and a baby, Miles who was about a year old then. They were working from home, schooling from home and going bonkers from home. I lived a mile away did what I could to help out by taking Miles for walks in his stroller on my lunch breaks. After work, I'd take Simon to the pool in that crazy and challenging summer of 2020, and it was there that these stories were born. Simon and I had been playing pirates and sea monsters at the pool one day when he got tired of splashing around and asked me to tell him a story.
That day, I made up a story on the spot, with a character I called, "Old Captain," and now, every day since, Simon and his brother Miles will say to me, "Tell me an Old Captain story!" So here we are.
Every week I’ll have an original story filled with whimsy, weirdness and fun, like the ones I tell Simon and Miles. I Hope you enjoy!
