Is it the future, or the past? Does it matter? This show, we’ll be taking a listen to two very different audio drama projects, from a post-apocalyptic Earth with a dystopian way of life, to a crew that gets hopelessly lost in the far reaches of space. First up is “The City Within The Walls” from Graven Rogue Studios. Created by Josh Monroe, the production started out as “a world building project for a concept album I was working on called ‘Dear Dayton.’” Combined with a book he was working on at the same time, a podcast format was suggested and “The City Within TheRead More →
