Don't miss it!

Welcome to the third episode of Apex Shadow! This episode featured my friend and colleague, Christopher Z, of @audioanomaly5316 on production and sound design. Christopher did an incredible job, and he'll be handling production duties for the foreseeable future, so that I can focus on writing, direction-- and acting, I suppose! :p So give him a warm welcome, and check out Audio Anomaly! You'll see me over there a lot, as well! (Spider-Man: The Audio Drama is coming soon...!) We still have a couple cast members working with sub-par setups in this episode. Bear with us! This is a labor of love, and not everyone has access to top-tier resources. So we're doing the best we can with what we've got! We hope you'll appreciate the awesome performances that our cast brought to the table, above all else! This episode is a doozy, so please be mindful of your emotional boundaries! We're going to some heavy places here, so everyone just do your best to be safe and have fun! As always-- thanks so much for listening!

Apex Shadow - Episode 1x02: Fragile Little Gods - Part 1

Following her brush with death, Kate is more determined than ever to bring down the Man in Black. But that'll have to wait, as both she and her new friend Jack are pulled into the orbit of the Turner family. Liam Turner, AKA The Champion, is thought of by many as the city's new symbol of hope in the wake of the Downtown Tragedy, and the disappearance of Apex. But when a domestic disturbance call reveals cracks in the veneer of the perfect family image, horrible truths must be confronted... even if that doesn't sit right with City Hall.

Welcome to the second episode of Apex Shadow! This episode was an absolute bear to complete. Many of the cast started or returned to school, and had to contend with less than ideal recording setups. A number of us got sick at the worst possible times. Family matters. Hardware troubles. Some numbskull accidently deleting most of the project files and having to start everything from scratch halfway through. (Ahem. Hey. 'Sup?) But, though it took far, FAR longer than it was ever meant to, here we are, with episode 3 right around the corner! I've brought on a production assistant, my good friend Christopher Z, from Audio Anomaly, to help make sure episodes continue to come out at a somewhat reasonable pace. He's doing great work on episode 3, and I can't wait for you all to hear it! Thank you all for your patience, and we hope you enjoy!
