Download the Apollo app! Hey everyone, Laurence here - just a quick update with a little bit of exciting Mockery Manor news, and give a shout out to another show that we love.  We've been working on a little something before Season 3 starts next year.  Mockery Manor is going to have a Christmas Special! It's a brand new double-length episode, and it's coming out on the 1st of December. It was ridiculously fun to record, and we can't wait to share it with you.  So, how can you hear it? Well... you might have heard us advertising a wonderful app called Apollo - if you haven't, Apollo is a gorgeous new podcast player that's specifically geared towards fiction. And it's so worth checking out - you can find all your favourite audio dramas on there, and discover loads more. It's really easy to use, it's beautiful to look at, and my favourite part is that you can search and browse by genre of fiction. That's something no other podcast app can do. The Apollo team have also curated some really great themed lists to explore - I think our show The Ballad of Anne & Mary is on a list called "Cinematic Epic", which we really like. But there's a new feature on Apollo - you can now support the shows you love by purchasing additional content directly on the app, and then you can listen immediately. Right now you can get bonus episodes of Omen, Sidequesting, Someone Dies In This Elevator, Midnight Burger has bonus content coming soon, loads of great shows. And on the 1st December, we're gonna be releasing our Christmas special on Apollo.  We'll remind you again when it's out, but we really hope that you'll go and download Apollo, and find some new amazing fiction shows to get lost in.  And now finally, we want to re-introduce you to a show that we shared a few months ago: Earth Eclipsed. Earth Eclipsed is a brilliantly exciting and multi-award winning sci-fi series made by the same team that made the Apollo app - annoyingly multi-talented people. It's a wonderful show, and they have a bonus episode out today, for you to buy and listen to on Apollo. You can find the direct link to that bonus episode, along with all the other things I've mentioned, in the show notes of this episode.  So please do download the Apollo app, mark December 1st in your diary for the Mockery Manor Christmas special, and now we'd like to play you the trailer for the brand new bonus episode of Earth Eclipsed.

Victor is the co-founder and CEO of Apollo podcast, an app that makes it easy to find, listen to, and share fiction podcasts. He also co-created and produced the science fiction podcast Earth Eclipsed which was recently nominated as the podcast of the year at the Ambies in an official selection of the Tribeca Festival 2021. Moving from Brazil to New York City at 17 years was a completely new experience for Victor, but he had to follow the path to achieve his goals. He wanted to pursue a creative path, and he took the chance to challenge his creativity, culture, social etiquette, and communication, which so far has been rewarding. Victor started his career in visual media, film, and television. The audio space was a completely new world for him and his partners at the beginning. They did a lot of research and listened to the classic and big shows to see what was done before them and what they could improve. After realizing the podcasting medium's potential, they decided to start podcasting.    After a challenging startup now, they are completely on a different path. None of them is an engineer, but they have a fine understanding of technology. It has been a huge learning curve, and at every point, they called the moment soul searching of what they want to do. They always took the risk to level up, and it has been a great experience.Segmented timestamps:[00:11] - About Victor and how he got into the fiction world[03:53] - Victor shares about the time when he went against the odds and how he embraced the challenge to achieve[08:23] - Victor's inspiration and drive to continue to splay what he knows and to invest in new projects  [11:48] - Some of the ways that creators can monetize their intellectual property to succeed and keep creating   [16:05] - About Apollo podcast, their focus, and the stage where they are in the development journey[18:58] - The Apollo podcast narratives and what to expect when you tune in[23:03] - Victor's favorite decision-making model that he has found to be particularly helpful in navigating decisions in his career[25:30] - How to connect, support, and listen to their Apollo podcastsNotable Quotes:“As a creator, you will have a loss at the beginning, but you have to invest in your own work, believe in what you're doing, and put it out there.” ~ Victor Lee “Trying to control every single decision in a project can lead to a poor decision along the way because you're trying to focus on all decisions at the same time.” ~ Victor Lee"It's all about people at the end of the day, and decisions get harder as you go, learn to work with your people and trust each other." ~ Victor LeeReach Victor at:Website: https://www.apollopods.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelunarco/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelunar_coGet more from The Big Possible show:Website: https://www.thebigpossible.com   RSVP for our next epic retreat here Follow us on social: @follownoah @thebigpossible

In this week's Pod Chat, I chat with AJ Churchill, co-founder of Lunar.fm, the company behind the Apollo podcast app and the audio fiction sci-fi drama, Earth Eclipsed. We talk about how audio production quality is changing with new technologies, as well as the innovations behind the Apollo app that are helping audio fiction podcasts be found, and how that can help other podcast app developers improve their own products. The Power of Regular StereoWhile AJ's background is in soundtracks and high end audio composition, he's a huge component of regular stereo when it comes to podcast audio. As he explains, humans only have two ears and there's only so much they can process. The Importance of Testing Audio on Different SourcesPodcasts are listened to on a multiple of devices. While we'd love to believe our listeners all wear great headphones and set aside time just to listen to our voice, the reality is very different. As AJ shared, it's key to listen to your episode on as many different sources as you can to highlight what can be improved, based on device. Why Apollo Is Purely for Audio Fiction and DramaWith the Apollo podcast app, AJ and the team at Lunar have built a platform solely for audio fiction podcasters and listeners. Indeed, it's an even more niche approach because each podcast is hand curated by other audio fiction creators and listeners. This has ensured a high quality database that's also super easy to navigate, thanks to the intuitive UI of the app. How Podcast Findability Drives ApolloAJ shares how an experience trying to find a podcast on Spotify, and the amount of non-relevant results that came back in search, spurred Lunar on to defining what features Apollo would have. Key to this was an intuitive and highly intelligent search system based on tags, recommendations, and ongoing learning.

My name is AJ Churchill and I'm a composer and sound designer, co-founder of The Lunar Company (a fiction podcast startup), and co-creator of Earth Eclipsed (Tribeca Festival 2021 official selection, 5-time Lovie award-winner, NYFestivals Radio Awards Gold).Earth Eclipsed is an 8-episode sci-fi space epic with immersive sound design and an original score. I led the fully-remote audio team and we produced all the sound, including writing hours of music for the show. The show will be released on December 15.I am a co-founder of The Lunar Company, a fiction podcast production company. Earth Eclipsed is its first show.We are building Apollo, a new podcast app made entirely for fiction podcasts. It is out Dec. 15. My background is as a film / media composer, having worked on feature films and documentaries, shorts, ads, podcasts, concert music, and two museum exhibits.I'm originally from São Paulo, Brazil, but I live in Los Angeles, USA, today. I studied at Oberlin College and The Royal College of Music. You can check out my award winning podcast at www.eartheclipsed.com and visit our company website at www.lunar.fm

AJ Churchill is Tom Fox's guest in this week's show. He is a composer, sound designer, and founder of the Lunar Company. He is also a producer on the audio drama, Earth Eclipsed. This week, Tom switches things up as he and AJ talk about AJ's podcast series, the challenges he and his team faced in developing it, and how powerful storytelling is to get messages across.  The Power of Podcasting 'The sound world is our creation, the limit is our imagination,' is a quote that AJ strongly believes in. "Nowadays we want the audience to be able to put on their headphones, close their eyes, and just completely escape into our universe," AJ tells Tom. The podcast series medium of Earth Eclipsed allows listeners to have the freedom to fully utilize their imagination and conceptualize how everything looks. The concept of the audio series and the techniques used are not new, but modern podcasting is unique in several ways. Podcasting is on-demand now, and the technology and techniques are much more advanced. Why Apollo The main challenge that content creators in fiction podcasting face is building an audience and making a name for themselves. AJ and his team came up with the solution for this by way of their app Apollo which will be launched mid-December. Normally, creators would crowdfund, spend money on voice actors, upload content to their RSS feed, then pray to get featured. Keeping momentum for the subsequent episodes via ads doesn't work for fiction shows. AJ and his team created Apollo, which is an app that is exclusively dedicated to fiction shows. The app will be categorized according to genre of fiction and will be free for the listeners.  Fiction As A Communicator Fiction allows the creators to tell good stories, convey messages, and tackle themes in ways that elicit less of a hostile response. With fiction, the listeners can come to the realization themselves. "You show them the story, you present them the character, their arcs, and the conflicts… and the listeners can put one and one together, and it's a different way of shedding light on an important problem," AJ says. Fiction allows you an insight into a person's mind and their point of view, and you can get messages across in ways that are not only informative and educational, but also entertaining.  Resources AJ Churchill | LinkedIn | Twitter The Lunar Company
