MIDST | Trailer | Season 1 Episode 0 

Just so everyone knows: Midst is a narrative audio series created by Third Person (an anonymous trio of creators) and originally began airing in audio formats in 2020, and CR are rereleasing it under their label. The CR site: "We’re thrilled to announce something very different and exciting… a new narrative audio series that we’ve brought into the fold - MIDST! Originally released in 2020, Midst is an immersive, semi-improvised sci-fantasy series in which three mysterious and unreliable narrators spin a tale about complicated antiheroes making bad decisions in a world on the edge of disaster. We’re truly such fans of this story and the talented creators behind it: an anonymous trio known collectively as Third Person. Through this partnership, Midst will be completely re-released! In addition to the audio format, which has been fully remastered with updated sound and music, we’ll also be presenting beautiful, lightly-animated video editions of EVERY episode, featuring all-new artwork from a variety of stupendously-talented artists including Ricardo Bessa, Lenka Simeckova, Sam Bosma, Artem Chebokha, Lap Pun Cheung, Will Kirkby, and more! Critical Role has always believed in the positive impact of storytelling and we’re excited to have the opportunity to amplify stories beyond the world of Exandria while empowering these innovative creatives! Join us April 11th on your favorite podcast app, our Critical Role RU-vid Channel or the Midst website (coming soon). If we’ve piqued your interest, dear reader, please read on to uncover everything you need to know about Midst!"

Ok, love the critrole itself to death, but definitely glad to see critrole weaving in more experimental and complementary projects, one shots etc. Still waiting to see a spiritual successor to the Taliesin’s Shadow of Crystal Palace one shot though)

I mean, this sounds awesome. But also, I feel like I just went on a 60 seconds drug trip.

I love seeing Critical Role supporting other companies with their platform, bringing these interesting and creative people to light.

can I just say I absolutely love that one of the characters is described only as a weird diabolical bastard. I havent even met him and hes already my favorite

"We believe you'll enjoy it, or maybe you won't." More art like that please. Not everyone has to like everything. Bring us weird art that makes you happy to create.

Discovered this podcast about 2 weeks ago and panicked when the feed went down because it had quickly become one of my favorite audio dramas and I was so scared it was just gone. I'm SO excited they're coming back and I'm SO happy they are going to get the recognition they deserve. I'm just sad I have to wait for them to get back to where I was in season 2 😅

Oh man, I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough!!! Opening the CR channel and seeing the Midst logo as a video thumbnail was like 🤯

Ok that's really cool. CR is helping creators with super interesting ideas by sharing on their platform. I had no idea Midst existed before but now I actually can't wait!

I'm going to scream. Midst is my favourite podcast ever and I adore CR I cannot BELIEVE this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone who's going to start Midst holy crap you've got SUCH a treat coming your way. Best podcast I've ever listened to and probably my favourite piece of fiction of all time. I'm so happy for Third Person they deserve this so much

Getting a little Welcome to Night Vale vibes from the surreal media blending nature of this and I'm *excited*

EVERYONE STAY CALM. I have been following both of these podcasts for a while now and I am so excited to see where this goes now that they are working together. LETS GOOOOO

I may not know what this is going to be, but sci-fi space westerns rock!

I'm so stoked for this! Really great to see CR give space to experimental storytelling such as this, knowing it won't appeal to everyone (not that anything ever appeals to everyone...).

This sounds like exactly the kind of storytelling I'd enjoy! Thank you Third Person for making it, and thanks to CR for introducing me to the trio

Midst is one of my favorite pieces of any media of all time. So happy to see it getting the spotlight it deserves. You all are in for a treat.

Okay, I don't know why I'm so attracted to these silhouettes, but I think this has unlocked something in my subconscious 😅😅

This sounds so cool! Can't wait to check it out! And can't wait to see what other wild projects the team have in the works! (Something like Sagas of Sundry perhaps?)

Never heard of midst before but I love audio dramas and I’m already loving the vibe of this video. I’ll be tuning in for sure

is CR studios straight up gonna introduce the world of audiodramas to a wider audience? eyo? well then, welcome to the absolutely weird and wonderful world of audiodramas, Midst is a pretty great one to rerelease, so sit back and enjoy that weird world and hopefully you find yourself diving into other weird worlds like Archive 81 and Silt Verses

I've binged the whole thing and I can't wait for the next season. It's such a fun show with a unique narrative style and a lot of well-portrayed, badass, likable characters. It's an audio drama so of course there's more dialogue than anything but when the action does happen, it is narrated so well.

This is fun! Nice to the CR brand taking risks on new things. Love to see it!!

oh my GOD?????? MIDST is SO good you guys, I love listening to it and this is such a cool development for it!

If you've not listened to Midst yet, oh my god I am so excited for you. It's incredible!

Whoa, I blasted through the podcast version and am unreasonably hyped for this

MIDST is easily a top 5 podcast for me, and I'm SUPER EXCITED about this

Trailer got me hooked already. Can't wait for episode 1

Love the richness in the narrators’ voices already! Reminds me a bit of the four horseman from Now You See Me.

Sounds like a radio play in the vein of Welcome to Nightvale. Seems like a cool concept.

Ooooo.... This is exciting! Glad to see the team try out new stuff. I'm sure this will be fun.

No one having a face is far more disconcerting than I anticipated.

I cant wait to be in the midst of all this action... Ill see myself out.

I love the way this was filmed.

I have been jonesin' for a Scifi romp ever since the Ashley one shot. The fact that they are bringing in other creatives is just icing man.

love it, keep up the great work!!!

Very interesting, I'll check this out! Happy to see Critical Role supporting indie creators.

I've been hoping for a while now that CR would expand into other shows, with a different cast, to uplift other gaming systems. Looks like this is the start of that!

Interesting. Hadn't heard of Midst before, but on a cursory inspection, seems like a good fit for expanding the scope of Metapigeon Productions.

That sounds super fun and intreging, I'm definitely looking forward to it

I was very good when I was just a person who didn't know they would be impatiently waiting for April 11th Sounds amazing. Really excited for this!

Not my thing but it’s neat to see CR branching out into different things.

Sci-fantasy space western AUDIO DRAMA?!?! AND THERES CULTS?!?! OH fuck yeah!! So excited to watch the first three episodes coming out , this sounds so exciting!!

Awesome! I’ll definitely check it out when it drops.

Dude wuuuut?! This felt so trippy, excited to see where this goes.

I need a TTRPG setting for this world. It’s so unique and curious

I love how Third Person is essentially the sci-fi genre's answer to Daft Punk. I want more from them.

Love the presentation. Well done, all. o/

Can't wait for a CritRole One-Shot in the Midst world, and Third Person is playing as well, but they're all wearing masks - or maybe, considering CritRole's new fancy set, they can just keep their faces in the shadows for the whole session.

This looks right up my alley. With Worlds Beyond Number and Campaign 3 heating up. I'm about perfectly set on my podcast content.

OOHH this feels like a Taliesin Brain Child and I am SO PUMPED Edit: Whoops! Looking at their socials it looks like this has been a separate creative project from Critical Role STILL PUMPED I’ve got some lore to explore

Looking forward to giving this a listen. Cheers

They all sound great, but that third narrator's voice is just WOW

The guys at the end was like hey you're going to have to listen to Midst and I'm like, okay.

I'm glad new content is being made, experimented, but i hope crit role never loses focus on the fact that the main cast is our favorite. Geek and sundry had so many random shows that most didn't care about.

WHAT. WHAT MORE CR PRODUCED LIVE PLAYS!!! HYPE!!!!!! Edit: apparently this is a rerelease of an audio drama, based on a ttrpg setting played by the 3 people talking in this trailer, that is being updated, and having additional content added. Still Hype though!!

Cautiously optimistic but high quality free content is never a bad thing

...okay? I mean I'm kinda stunned but YEAH MORE CRITICAL ROLE LET'S GOOO

The first guy's voice is so relaxing

Wow. That was a lot of info at once. All I got is that it's a different format than what I'd have thought and it's fantasy sci-fi

I'm excited to check it out!

Hopefully this doesn't take away even more from the actual critical role content.

Sounds cool, checking this out for sure.

Maybe this will help fill the void in my life left behind by Kollok... I miss the surreal storytelling!!!

For anyone else having the same problem: the website link in the description takes you to a website that requires a password, but the links from the Midst Twitter account work!

Been listening to and loving this podcast. Narrator 3 vaguely sounds and looks like Alexander Ward.

sounds amazing!! I already signed up!!

Can't access the website (it's asking for a login), but this looks really fun and weird! Can't wait to see more

This sounds exciting!!

very promising :O definetly gonna check it out

I feel like Tal and Matt got really high one night and tripped balls, and now we're all watching the recreation of their shared hallucination

I'm here for it. I'm in the Midst of it. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Why do i feel like this will somehow tie into season 3...

This looks cool! One of those guys moves like Mark Jackson who plays Isaac in The Orville.

Hell yeah! Stay indie and keep supporting indie performers CR!

MIDST: hey critical role, do you want to produce our audio drama? Mercer: does it have moon-related disasters in MIDST: ye- Mercer: you’re on.

Ooooh this looks awesome 🤩

I wanna check out the website, but it's requiring a login first thing (which I clearly don't have) and when I can't provide one, it tells me "401 Authorization Required". Otherwise, I'm highly interested to see more info. The trailer definitely hooked me!

I have goosebumps!!😍🙌🏼🔥

I am so confused but I am so excited at the same time!

You had me at "weird diabolical bastard"

This sounds rad as heck!

I was in to try this when they said space western!

Now this is unexpected. I'm intrigued though!

Sounds like we're in the MIDST of something out of this world.

The timing of this announcement is what made it a little suspect to me, but hey, it sounds need enough.

This is going to be cool!!

Any more Critical Role is good Critical Role!

finally, couldn't catch up with previous campaigns cuz a new fan here but Im definitely staying up to date with this

You had me at moon falls out of the sky space Western 😅

Ooh neat Group is known as Third Person Interesting news, excited to check it out

i have chills all over

Oh wow! New content is always welcome. HYPE!!

Was not expecting this but now invested

Midst is amazing, I've listened to it a few times and its fantastic, Phineas Thatch is my personal favorite character

What are the name of the narrators? Who ever they are, I look forward to listening to their storytelling!

No shot a colddrop like this from Crtirole before April Fools! I am EXCITED

Looks like a cool thing to watch while trying my gummies.

Sounds cool but I just felt like I took some drugs and went on a trip. Can't wait to see more.

That guy with the long hair has an amazing voice wow

I'll see if I can get the feeling of Saber Rider & The Star Sheriffs and/or The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers from this.
