The Moon Crown
By M. Molder
Lou sends out broadcasts in hopes of reaching an audience with a warning of what's to come. Unfortunately, the listener she reaches might not be the kind of person she's hoping to find.
The Moon Crown is a full-cast, weird fiction and horror audio drama meant for adult audiences, and is based on Filipino mythology with a little western mythology mixed in.

It was an old tale, a story to make us behave as children.
Signal Intrusion Two - The Kitchen
Another mini episode! This is a serialized show - if you jump in here, you will get spoilers. These will continue being just a little outside of the norm of the show's usual vibe.

Sound Content Warnings: misophonia, yelling, moving/panning sound, sudden change in direction, glitching, disturbing sounds

K I L L FM 1: We Interrupt this Broadcast
With the release of K I L L FM 2 this month, I wanted to share my segment from the first episode on its own (with a teeny tiny update given the rerelease of episode 4 of The Moon Crown in November!) It's canon-adjacent, taking place between episodes 4 and 5.
Content warnings: Uncomfortable or loud sounds, may trigger misophonia.
Both collaborations are fantastic and I highly highly recommend giving them a listen, along with the shows involved.
You can find more information (including transcripts and cast lists) about K I L L FM on the site: https://www.kill-fm.com/
Or find both K I L L FM episodes anywhere you listen to podcasts. Huge shout-out to Joseph Rutledge, Saph the Something, and all of the creators in these amazing episodes.

A mini episode! This is a serialized show - if you jump in here, you will get spoilers.
