Create an Audio Fiction Podcast in 2 HOURS?! 

"10 minutes is plenty of time to write a script!" Oh man, that sentence alone made me start sweating anxiously. 😂

“i’m going to ignore micheal as a name” LMAO. YK AT LEAST HE’S LEARNING AFTER THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES!!

There are two wolves wrestling inside of Alex. One is Scope Creep. The other is Remember Time Pressure Is Terrible. Somewhere around the two hour mark they've teamed up to help Alex survive his regrets while (on Twitch) chat was singing "Hellfire" by Jonny's old band The Mechanisms (because everyone agrees Jonny can do a better fake American accent than Alex). April's real-life dog Chewie provides vocals for the second wolf in the background.

caffeine addiction and menacing crochet are such a mood lol

challenge for artists watching this: make designs for all three of the characters in the duration of the stream

every time he does an american accent I die laughing. I have no idea how i am still alive rn.

"This might steer into comedy if we're not careful." YES! Quick writing often does. I used to participate in 48 hour film festivals a lot and I was often the head writer on our team and it was so hard to write something quickly that incorporated all of our criteria (we were given a prop, a line, a genre, etc.) without it steering into comedy. We accomplished it well a couple times, but the biggest challenge during the writing stage of a 48 was always making sure trying not to be too comedic.

Imagine if we started making fan works and edits, etc of Eliza and the others and it's just a tiny fandom in a fandom of fandoms and we marauders it until its bigger than it ever should've been

Watching this makes me wish I had grabbed an additional Podcasting Certificate on top of my Sound/Music Production degree because it looks like so much fun.

I would love to get a copy of a rusty quill planning doc that seems so well thought out and structured, my plan is all over the place lol

0:32 - "What are we doing today?

I was gonna say "take a shot every time grim says 'ah hell'" but someone beat me to it!

Grim: Good thing we have sound effects for that Oh no, they‘re breaking the forth wall 😂

A fun detail I'd give to old Elon where I to write this, fiddles with a marble Checkers piece in a similar fashion to a coin. He thinks it makes him look mysterious and cool, but is later found at the scene of a crime, and is one of the only pieces actually linking it back to ol' elon

This is the best podcast I've ever heard 😌✌️

Also this comment is solely bc I had a moment I wished I was in chat to say this... When April said chat would be in silence for the break I was DYING to say "So... You're telling me that we'll be listening to The Sound of Silence till you get back?" Im so sad I couldn't

this stream was probably the most fun i've had this year

more quality content from rusty quill, 10/10

watching this during the tmagp hiatus and bc of that ending i am _very_ scared now

42:56 “‘As a result of gunfighting shoes’ hahaha” 1:05:42 April - “They need too know what type of dogs they are” Alex - “No they don’t.” 2:03:51 “I warn everyone, this isn’t actually gonna be pleasant to listen to. Just fyi” 2:04:44 April - “You’re the one who put a gunfight in a 10 minute scene that you had to edit in 2 hours!” Alex - “Pew pew ☹️” 2:09:52 “Why is it such a chunky boi?” 2:23:18 “If you’ve enjoyed this, what’s wrong with you?”

GUNFIGHTING SHOES!

i love this so much! makes me want to make my own podcast! - LOVE YOUR WORK!

That applause is sending me

Having recently had to use audacity to record an audio presentation for some uni coursework (had no idea what i was doing - it was the only editing software I vaguely knew how to use) i am kicking myself for not normalizing and compressing the audio because of course that's what those functions do. I had to put in clips of a performance and i could not figure out how to stop them being massively quieter than my voice. It doesn't actually matter because they don't care about recording quality, just the content of the presentation. but knowing that I could have made it better is killing me

Take a shot every time grim says oh hell

That was so funny i loved it and i want it to exist so bad now

so you mean to tell me words just don't magically appear??

I could understand almost none of what Alex what doing (I did understand a very little bit bc I've made a Very Bad ad & music vid in a class before but miniscule in comparison) and I still watched this entire thing and was thoroughly entertained. Honestly my first thought with the finished piece was literally "holy shit". I'll let whoever reads this decide what that means.

This was so much fun

As a non native English speaker that learned everything on Hollywood English, this is a challenge for me too. Let's goooo

american???? keyboard??? wait what. i know outlets are a thing, but they have different keyboards in the uk?? lol

it was So Much

Are audio fiction podcasts still popular? Do people still tune in and listen to these?

11:36

Immediately going to Google the difference between British and American keyboards after he said something because I had no clue they weren't just the same thing Update: the differences are minor but the longer I look at the UK one the more I hate it (sincerely, an American)

What happened to trice forgotten guys If you cancel a podcast cant you at least tell us

We want magnus protocols
