Hey folks! Writer/creator Jess here, we're still on hiatus before our third and final season, and fear not, Patreon patrons, we are not charging you for this non-Starship Iris content, but in the meantime, we're dropping the first episode of Where the Stars Fell, a supernatural fantasy fiction podcast where the biggest twist is only the beginning, and what doesn't kill you is just another mystery. In a mysterious Oregon town, the antichrist and her guardian angel are forced to work together to stop the religious rapture— but they don't know any of that yet. It's a mystery that encourages fans to theorize and engage with it, and celebrates when they predict the revelations. It features themes of disability, identity, and agency from a diverse team of creators. If you're a fan of Gravity Falls, Good Omens, or Gideon the Ninth, check out Where the Stars Fell. You can find and listen to Where the Stars Fell anywhere you listen to podcasts. Our thanks to Where the Stars Fell for letting us drop this episode in our feed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Coming June 11 from the Procyon Podcast Network. Me and AU is a full cast LGBT+ audio romance about love, friendship, fandom, TV shows of questionable quality and growing up. All Kate Cunningham wants to do this summer is watch her new favourite TV show, Selkirk, write fanfic about her new favourite TV show, Selkirk, and think as little about the future as possible. But a new online friendship with a fellow fic writer might disrupt at least one of those plans...Content Notes: This podcast includes strong language, smoking and occasional discussions of drug use and violence.

Season finale: in which some stories come to an end, others begin, and there are a few surprises along the way.
After an unexpected conversation, the crew of the Rumor is faced with a weighty decision.
Some things disappear; some things are left behind. Or, the Rumor makes landing--and a number of discoveries.
The Rumor finally makes landing on Elion, but something is not right. It’s a bad day to be a daring space smuggler. (Trigger warning: skip this parenthetical to avoid some minor spoilers--Episode 5 contains tense moments with law enforcement, as well as some violence.)
The crew of the Rumor is wrestling with a lot of questions right now. This week: can you ever truly escape your past? (Spoiler: Probably not.)
One mystery is solved, several more arise. Also: you know those legends you’ve heard about the unimaginable creatures lurking in the farthest reaches of space? Those are surely nonsense, right? I mean: SURELY. (Check out our Kickstarter, running until April 1: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/procyonpodcasts/created )
Our story resumes six days later, when Violet Liu wakes up in an unknown ship. Featuring new places, new faces, and a couple of all-too-familiar voices. (Also, danger. Can’t leave out the danger.)
Biologist Violet Liu is floating through space, trapped in a doomed research ship. She’s the sole survivor of a devastating explosion, and frankly, her odds aren’t looking great, either. But when she is contacted by the charming—and woefully inexperienced—Captain Kay Grisham, Violet learns she might have one last shot at making it out alive. Unfortunately, it’s a real longshot.
