This week, we're joined by author of Rabbits, CEO of Minnow Beats Whale, and co-creator of The Black Tapes, Terry Miles. Miles explains the origins of The Black Tapes, the playful interactivity fictional podcasts afford creators and audiences, and the worldbuilding required for people to become fully immersed in a story. How do people respond to a paranormal version of Serial? In what ways does it mirror audience's first interactions with Orson Welles' 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast?Then, Miles discusses Rabbits: Why do alternate reality games feel appropriate for our digital moment? When experience and time flatten, why can the world feel like an ARG, itself?About Terry Miles:Terry Miles is an award-winning Writer/Director/Producer who was born among the wheat fields in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, raised in the plains beneath the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and forged by rain in the deep emerald gloom of the Pacific Northwest. He's a novelist, filmmaker, podcaster and the CEO and founder of Minnow Beats Whale. As Writer/Director/Producer, Terry's had three feature films premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and has been nominated for ten Leo Awards (Producing, Writing, Directing, Editing, and Cinematography). Terry created his first few podcasts in 2006, but soon movies took over.

He also co-created The Black Tapes Podcast and directed a western starring Donald Sutherland and Christian Slater, an action movie starring Steve Austin, Danny Trejo and Serinda Swan, and more. He's also written and directed numerous award-winning short films, web series, and alternate reality games.Show Notes and Resources:The Black TapesTanisRabbitsWar of the Worlds - Orson Welles (1938)Strand InstituteCicada 3301Gravity's RainbowThe GameThe New Hollywood Hosted on Acast.

Our main feature is the Blumhouse production, FIRESTARTER. I can't think of anything clever to write here, so we'll move on. We also reviewed The House in Between, The Found Footage Phenomenon, Hellhole, Squid Game, and The Black Tapes.

Paul Bae (The Big Loop, Black Tapes) returns to the show to a surprise when Producer Dan informs him that he has actually BLOCKED Dan on Twitter! It's the first time we've ever had the Blocker and the Blockee meet face-to-face, and it turns out Dan found himself on a blocklist. Paul runs us through why he used a blocklist in the first place, and you'll have to tune in to see if Paul shows ultimate character and unblocks Dan live on the show. Elsewhere, we revisit our past episode hijinks with Paul, as John gives Paul an update on his ass, and Stefan rejigs his previous top 3, where he said he would most want tomato paste if he were trapped after an earthquake. We also talk about more disaster foods, John potentially having COVID, Friday's livestream, screenwriting Twitter, and LL Cool J.   If you want to be as cool as Mr. LL, you can become a donor to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, we've got a hangout episode with Tom and Demi and we've got lots of other fun stuff over there including a sweet Discord, merch discounts, top-secret extra bonus episodes, and the opportunity to get a Cameo from John and Stefan! It's all there and it's all a great way to help support this show.   Paul Bae is a writer and podcaster whose podcasts, "The Black Tapes" and "The Big Loop" are available wherever you get your pods. His book, "You Suck, Sir" is a hilarious collection of anecdotes from Paul's days as a teacher, and you can also follow him on Twitter at @MrPaulBae.

A New Lens on Brand Experience: Ep. 23 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:·      What the future looks like for brick-and-mortar retail experiences amid a surge in e-commerce trends·      How brands are getting audiences involved through co-creation of experiences·      How brands can determine whether to jump into new trends such as the metaverseIs 2022 the year of an experiential renaissance in retail? That's what we posited in our annual Red Sky Predictions report — namely, that 2022 is the year that brands will fully merge experiential and retail to completely reimagine the shopping experience. And, by turning a store into a destination, brands can ensure that brick-and-mortar shops not only remain relevant, but that they complement e-commerce efforts and more fully bring a brand to life.  In this month's episode, Red Havas' Linda Descano, CFA® is joined by fellow Redsters Steve Fontanot, Michael Ozard, Kana Phung and Courtney Myers, co-authors of our new white paper, A New Lens on Brand Experience, which explores the factors that are reshaping the brand experience landscape in 2022. The conversation begins with a look at the future of brick-and-mortar retail experiences amid a surge in social media selling and shifting e-commerce trends. “The idea of blending physical and digital elements together has become incredibly critical,” says Steve. “I think good brands have found ways to blend those together. But now that the world is opening up again, how do we ensure physical elements matter just as much as digital?” “Social is playing a pivotal role in e-commerce, and platforms like TikTok have really turned this concept on its head,” says Michael. "But with so much focus on e-commerce and social, there's a real opportunity for brands to differentiate themselves by providing unique in-store experiences that add value through deeper and more connected moments in a way that digital cannot.” The conversation then shifts to the topic of co-creation between brands and audiences. “We're being introduced to this evolved category of brand collaborations, called co-creations,” says Kana. “I think we can see that the mindset is really shifting from creating campaigns for audiences, to creating campaigns with the communities that we value. Essentially, the rewards are greater if we can understand how audiences can be part of the creation process.”Says Courtney, “Amid unprecedented employee turnover, organizations are increasingly recognizing that people are their greatest assets. As we reimagine our hybrid ways of working, brands should start viewing employees as co-creators to help create engaging employee experiences in both physical and virtual environments.” Finally, our guests share their thoughts on brand experiences moving forward, and how to decide whether to take a leap into new digital experiences such as the metaverse."I think we've already seen some immersive multimedia experiences that really play on the metaverse in its current form,” says Michael. “It's really important for brands to look at ways that they can collaborate with the existing digital platforms to tap into these new and far-reaching audiences and next level communities." “Sometimes brands can jump into trends without even knowing if their customers or their employees are there,” says Courtney. “I think the first things you need to understand are who your audience is, where they are engaging, whether they're interested in this, and if it is the right way to reach them.” Says Kana, “In contrast to the mass marketing strategy, it's okay to take a step back and see how the bespoke elements and meaningful brand experiences of the past have evolved in their own ways. There's a huge space for speaking to individual needs and offering a unique experience through micro events.” Closing out our discussion, Steve offers his final thoughts on the topic: “Overall, the focus should be on creating meaningful brand experiences. But it's important for brands to understand that what they think is meaningful, might not be meaningful to their consumers. Spend time thinking about what your holistic brand experience is, because too often we've seen brands invest time and resources into great things just to be let down by one small thing.” The episode wraps with Red Havas VP of Content Ellen Mallernee Barnes and our Red Questionnaire guest Mel Panabi, business director at Red Havas Philippines, for a conversation spanning many topics, including his go-to podcasts (“The Black Tapes” and “The Magnus Archives”), his guilty pleasures (his expansive collection of CDs, perfumes, and action figures), and how he describes his job to his children.“Companies and brands want to get their message out, and some of them need help doing that,” says Mel on the latter. “My job is to make sure that whatever it is that they want to say is accurate and has an impact on their target audience.”Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:·      A New Lens on Brand Experience White Paper·      Red Sky 2022 Predictions Report·      Dojacode Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:·      Twitter·      Facebook·      Instagram·      LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.·      iTunes·      Spotify What did you love?

Then, Paul and Gavin are joined by James Madison University professor emeritus Stan Ulanski, the author of several books including "The Science of Fly-Fishing." Stan talks about how one should start fly fishing, how to improve at it, and where he would go if he were given an all-expenses paid fishing trip to anywhere in the world.

Hey Storytellers,Continuing the theme of running multiple characters in different timelines this concept is a little easier to pull off.  Your campaign can have three acts but each act is a different set of characters in a different timeline.Check out our courses for Game Masters: https://skullrpgbooks.vipmembervault.com/Check out our new book - 19 RPG Adventures for Game Masters to Run in any TTRPG: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NQ38H2KI ran a campaign that utilized some interesting concepts from either The Black Tapes Podcast (http://theblacktapespodcast.com/) or Tanis (http://tanispodcast.com/) both are worth the listen though I liked The Black Tapes better. The campaign I ran was about a demon that was being summoned in modern times and my players played a group of investigators.Then in the next act we went back to ancient Greece and the demon was running rampant on the planet during this time, but the players sealed it away for their first characters to keep it sealed.Then the third act would take them back to prehistory where they would be responsible for unleashing the demon into the world in the first place.Listen to the episode for more ideas.

This is the Alloooooooooosionist, in which we learn about the etymology of some scary words for Halloween, with the help of Paul Bae of The Black Tapes and The Big Loop podcasts, and Chelsey Weber-Smith of the podcast American Hysteria.

Christian Sloan voiced Dr. Richard Strand, a brooding, brilliant, and charismatic paranormal investigator (who purported not to believe in anything paranormal) on The Black Tapes. The narrative podcast was a cross between The X-Files and Serial, ran for three seasons, and was downloaded more than 80 million times. The Black Tapes made something of a global star of Christian's voice, while also affording the actor behind the deep and moody voice some level of anonymity – which is bonkers, because, as podcaster Rebecca Lavoie recently tweeted at Black Tapes co-creator Paul Bae, “No one has ever looked like his voice as much as this guy!” Christian is also an in-demand on-camera actor who inhabits his (often bad guy) roles like a chameleon. He played the over-the-top Lord Triangle Badevil on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. He brought the creepy to his criminally short guest turn on Riverdale. He's stolen scenes in The Murders, Mech X-4, Hell on Wheels, The 100, and Critters: A New Binge – and these last few weeks, he's brought his special, brooding charisma to the role of Witchfinder Ayura on See. The Apple+ series takes place in a dystopian future where the human race has lost the sense of sight, and society has had to find new ways to interact, build, hunt, and survive. In this special episode of the YVR Screen Scene, Christian talks about Dr. Strand, Witchfinder Ayura, and Lord Triangle Badevil. He talks about the challenges he's faced keeping a level head in this difficult business – and he's got a very special message for fans of The Black Tapes. Episode sponsor: Fish Flight Entertainment

27: A history of old time horror radio. From The Witch's Tale, Suspense and through to modern podcasts like Darkest Night and The Black Tapes.

My guest this week is Marc Sollinger. Marc is one half of Dead Signals, a podcast production company that produces the modern radio drama podcasts Archive 81 and Deep Vault. In this episode, we're going to take a deep dive into what it takes to plan, write, and produce a modern radio drama. This is part one of a two part series: Next week I'll be interviewing Dan Powell, who handles a lot of the editing, sound design, and music for Dead Signals. Key Takeaways: The most important part of the writing process is collaboration. Audio storytelling is a powerful medium. Work with people you trust and ask them for their feedback. The hardest part of creating a modern radio drama is making time for all the work required. If you're into podcasting, create stories that can only be told through sound. Aaron: Marc Sollinger: Thanks for joining me. Tell me what you do at Dead Signals. My understanding from our brief conversation previously is that you work more on the writing side of things? Marc: Both Dan and I write and contribute to the creative process equally, so both of our roles are really creative. We're both the “idea person.” Aaron: You do a lot of the writing and he does a lot of the editing, but you both contribute equally to the writing process, yeah? Marc: Yeah, and we're both audio professionals. He's an engineer and works at a sound effects library, I work in public radio for Innovation Hub. We both work with sound for our day jobs. It's really fun. The Most Important Part of the Writing Process: Collaboration Aaron: I brought you on because you and Dan recently launched a modern radio drama podcast called The Deep Vault. I like the description you guys wrote: “The Deep Vault is a serialized, seven-episode audio drama set in in the almost-post-apocalyptic United States. “The story follows a group of longtime friends as they journey from the uninhabitable surface world into a mysterious underground bunker in search of safety, shelter, and answers to their past. Robotic servants, tooth-filled monsters, and terrible computers collide within the claustrophobic, steel-reinforced walls of The Deep Vault, a modern day homage to the golden age of sci-fi radio drama.” I want to hear about your background and how you got into audio and radio. Before we get into that, I have to say that the Audible ad read at the end of the first episode of The Deep Vault is one of the most genius things I've ever heard. Good job on that, whoever had that idea. Marc: Listen to the second episode, because it gets crazier. With podcasts that are more host-driven and not fiction, it's usually the hosts talking about how much they love Blue Apron or Squarespace. For us, it felt a little weird to break the world and say, “Hey, it's Marc Sollinger and Daniel Powell, and we'd love you to try out Audible or Blue Apron,” so we came up with the idea of a robot that's not a character in the show. It's just a random robot that's gradually gaining sentience and is really pissed off at his masters. It's fun and hopefully people will enjoy listening to it. The main thing is we wanted it to be fun. Aaron: Mission accomplished. So when did you get started with audio? Marc: I fell in love with audio in high school when I was driving around in my car and I heard a This American Life episode. It was one of those proverbial driveway moments, where I stayed in my car for 30 minutes because the story was so good. (Audio storytelling is a powerful medium.) I feel in love with it and I adore the power of audio documentary and public radio. That's my day job now, but I started listening to older radio dramas like Orson Welles' The Mercury Theatre on the Air. That's really good; start with War of the Worlds. If you're looking for other great audio drama podcasts, AV Club has a good list of creepy radio dramas from the 40s, 50s, and 60s you can check out. Aaron: So you were listening to those and you thought, “I have to figure out how to do this for myself?” Marc: Yeah, I noticed when podcasts were getting big in 2007 that there weren't a lot of audio dramas. There were a couple and there were a lot of audio books released as podcasts, but I didn't feel like there were a lot of podcast audio dramas that were at the same level as stuff from the 40s and 50s. For my college thesis, I made a 10-episode audio drama that I released as a podcast. This was before Dan and I started collaborating, but he was featured as the main actor, playing a nebbish anthropologist who crash lands on an alien world and has to discover a bunch of secret stuff. It's called Transmission and it's still something I'm proud of, but I didn't do any promotion. I fell into the trap of thinking, “This is really good, obviously it'll get big,” which is not a good mindset to be in. It's a Patreon reward for our Patreon page now. Aaron: So you dove in and made a 10-episode podcast series. What kind of experience did you have with audio at that point? Marc: I interned for a summer at Chicago Public Radio's Youth Vocalo, and I studied radio, television, and film in college. I did some work for Nick van der Kolk of Love + Radio. I interned for my local NPR station and I learned a lot about sound from the incomparable Douglass Quinn of Syracuse University. I fell in love with audio by listening to This American Life and old radio serials, but I became someone who could do audio through learning from Douglass Quinn. That shows the importance of having a really good mentor. Aaron: When does Dan come into the picture? Marc: We met in college (Douglas Quinn was his mentor too). Quinn kind of forced our heads together and it turns out we really liked each other. After college, we went our separate ways; I worked for the PBS News Hour and then I moved to Boston to work for Innovation Hub and Dan went to Brooklyn to work for a sound effects library. He came to Boston to visit and we talked about projects we had been thinking about. Then I went to New York to visit him and he was talking about wanting to do an audio drama, something where he would be listening alone to a bunch of weird, freaky tapes. It was a really good idea so I said we should do it together. We brainstormed and came up with an outline. I wrote it, he edited it, but it was a very collaborative process. There's a bunch of really dumb ideas that would have gone into it if he hadn't told me to take them out. Work with people you trust and ask them for their feedback. Aaron: You've got to have someone you can trust to curate and edit what you come up with. Marc: It's a matter of trust. If I really like something and Dan isn't sure about it, even if I don't understand why he doesn't like it, I trust him enough to know that there's something wrong, something that needs to be fixed. Archive 81: Writing, Editing, & Casting Aaron: This podcast you're talking about–where Dan listens to freaky tapes–is called Archive 81. The description for this show is, “Three months ago Daniel Powell vanished. These are the tapes he sent me.” How long did it take you to get all these episodes written, recorded, and edited? What was the preparation process like for Archive 81? Marc: For the writing process, I can write about two episodes a week. Aaron: Part-time on nights and weekends? Marc: Yeah, and I've been a hermit. It's a lot of work. After the episodes are written, we have a two or three week period where we heavily revise it. We script everything out and we usually do a table read over Google voice and we pause and re-write when anything sounds weird. Aaron: Once you've got the script for the episode in a good place and you feel good about it, what happens after that? Studio time? Marc: We recorded all 10 episodes at the same time. I'm glad we did that instead of writing an episode and then recording it, writing an episode, and then recording it. That saved us a lot of time and money. For Archive 81, we got our cast together and then one of our friends let us record in her bedroom. For The Deep Vault, we went to an actual studio. With Archive 81, since it's tape-based, it's a lot of two people talking to each other, so the bedroom worked fine for that. With The Deep Vault, it's more action, adventure-y and there were going to be five people in a room at the same time. You need an actual studio if you have five people in there at the same time. Aaron: So you recorded all 10 episodes of Archive 81 in a bedroom. Were all the voice actors friends of yours? Marc: A mix—some friends, some Craigslist, some family. We pay all our actors, which is something we think is really important. We didn't pay them as much as we would have liked to but we did pay them. Aaron: I noticed that the guy that plays Dan's boss has the same last name as Dan. Is that his father or one of his brothers? Marc: His father. It has a bunch of creepier overtones when you realize it's Dan's actual dad, who turns out to be a really really good actor. The Hardest Part of Creating a Modern Radio Drama: Making Time Aaron: Were there any struggles or hurdles you overcame that stick out to you during producing or recording either one of those shows? Marc: The biggest one is how busy Dan and I are. We're both working full-time jobs or more than full-time jobs. We started Archive 81—writing it, promotion for it, and releasing it—and then as soon as we began to release the episodes, we started to develop The Deep Vault, so there would be no pause between shows. Episode 10 of Archive 81 was released at the same time as the teaser for Deep Vault, then episode one of Deep Vault went out the next week. It's just a lot of work, managing time and pulling through it. We're working on Archive 81 season two now while Dan is still finishing edits for the Deep Vault. We're doing promotion, starting an LLC, working with advertisers, and responding to fans on Twitter. It's just a lot for two people to do. For the most part, we're been really lucky and blessed to work with wonderful actors, and Dan is a wonderful partner. The studio we worked in for the Deep Vault was really great. It comes down to time management and knowing when to say yes to stuff and when to say no to stuff. Aaron: Is one of your goals to take Dead Signals and make it a full-time job? Marc: Maybe. I really enjoy my full-time job, but if the audience was there…The trouble is that it's very difficult to do it unless you're Welcome to Night Veil or you have the backing of Panoply or Giblet. It's something we've discussed, but right now we're not at a point where we could do that. What Would You Do If You Had a Million Dollars in the Bank? Aaron: I was talking to my friend Sean the other day, and discuessed a question: “If we had a million dollars in the bank, what would we do?” Let's say you and Dan had a million dollars in the bank. Would you want to spend most of your time on podcasting, or do you think you'd be happy keeping your day job and working on podcasts on nights and weekends? Marc: If money was no object, I think most people would say, “Let's go to Belize and surf!” For me, it's all about weird creative projects. If we had a million dollars, we'd probably work on creating more interesting things. We'd be able to rent out more time at studios. We'd be able to do a weekly thing instead of a bi-weekly thing (I hate bi-weekly). Aaron: Weekly is great, but with all the work you guys have to do for each episode, I understand why you do bi-weekly. I have a hard time keeping up with my podcast and it's not anywhere close to the kind of work that your shows are. Marc: Maybe if we were doing it full-time we could do it weekly. If I had a million dollars it would be nice to work with other writers and sound designers to do more weird stuff. What's Next for Dead Signals Productions? Aaron: I had a related question, which was, “What are your plans for the future?” but it sounds like you're just going to keep pushing forward. You're working on season two of Archive 81. Are there plans for a season two of Deep Vault? Marc: It depends on how it's received. Deep Vault definitely has an ending. It leaves open the possibility for a season two, but we're very happy with leaving it as a mini series. If everyone is crying out for a season two and gives us a million dollars, we'll make season two. We also have other projects in the pipeline that we're thinking about doing after season two of Archive 81. We're probably going to do something new before we do a season three of Archive 81, if we do a season three. We really like doing new things. One of the reasons why we didn't just plan for four seasons of Archive 81, or even do things in the same universe, we want to broaden the possibilities of audio drama and do interesting new things. We want to make stories that can only be told through sound. Q&A: Michal Wdowiak asks: “When recording the actors separately (even remotely) for a dialogue scene, how do you manage to keep the flow of the scene so it sounds like a real conversation? Do you ever record dialog scenes separately (remotely)?” Marc: No, we don't. If it's supposed to be a conversation, they've got to be in the same room. That's one of our big priorities for our actors, they have to be in New York. You can splice stuff in, but I really don't think you get the same performance when two people are not talking to each other. The actor's performances feed off each other and having them in the same room is really important. Virginia Houser asked: “How much effort and planning do you put into creating your own sound effects for your stories, if at all? Is it worth the time to create or add sound effects? If the go-to is using pre-recorded effects from online, what resources do you use to find those sound bites?” Marc: We do a mix between creating our own sound effects and using effects from sound libraries. Dan is a manager at an online sound effects library called Soundsnap, which is helpful. He can get whatever he needs there, but we do prefer making our own sound effects so we can get the exact sound we want. Before we wrap up, I want to say that it's a really interesting time for audio drama and podcasts. I think we're on the cusp of something. Welcome to Night Veil, The Black Tapes, Lime town, The Message, and The Truth were all the first mainstream audio dramas to be released as podcasts, and it's a really good time to start one yourself. If you want to start an audio drama, don't just do it because you want to start a TV show and you don't want to spend a lot of money. If you're really passionate about it, get started now; companies are starting to invest money in these podcasts. It's a lot of work, though, so be prepared to put some time into it if you want to succeed. You can head over to their Patreon page to learn more about Marc and Dan and their podcasts. Stay tuned, next week I'll be talking audio production and sound design with Marc's podcasting partner, Dan Powell.
