Greetings Traveller, in this instalment we're fleshing out the S that stands for 'speculative' in 'speculative fiction', as our poem and short story show us opposite sides of the great divide between life and death. Also as a special treat we're proud to present you with a sonic experience that's well worth cracking out your posh headphones for. Our audio drama, Republic of David presents a scenario akin to hell, or possibly heaven if you're extremely far along the narcissism scale. Our music this week is a dark synthwave piece that serves as the closing music to both the audiodrama and the podcast itself, so perfectly does it lend itself to both situations. If you appreciate the extra effort of the podcast, could I encourage you to look at the Soundwave specific levels on our Patreon? It's less than a big cup of coffee. In fact, why not go to your favourite coffee shop, listen to this with a brew, and marvel at how comparatively inexpensive our Soundwave Patreon levels are compared with what you've just ordered? Perhaps even become a Chrono Receptor or Receptor Interrolyst while you're there and know you can head back the next week and make it a tradition... mmmmmmmm coffee and sci-fi... ~ Director Overtect Verbistect Loquenist Voxtext RJ Bayley ----- Host, Writer, Producer - Director Overtect Verbistect Loquenist Voxtect RJ Bayley @RJBayley Producer - Overtect Noel Chidwick @noelchidwick Music by Tunetect Alex Storer @theLightDreams Story and poem curated by Verbis Curate Voxtects Debbie Cannon and Jonathan Whiteside The Grief of Apollo Published in Shoreline of Infinity 8½ - Edinburgh International Book Festival EditionWritten by Jo WaltonNarrated by Voxtect Izzy HourihaneProduced by RJ Bayley Purgatory Published in Shoreline of Infinity 2 Written by Michael FontanaNarrated and Produced by RJ Bayley Republic of David Original story published in Shoreline of Infinity 2 Writer - Anton RoseAdapted for audio by Jonathan Whiteside @JA_Whiteside David - Johnathan WhitesideTechnician - Voxtect Danielle Farrow @DFActingLoudspeaker Voice - RJ BayleySound Design - RJ Bayley rjbayley.comCo-Produced by RJ Bayley and Noel Chidwick Perturbator’s Theme by Perturbator from the album Dark Days, courtesy of The Noise Cartel http://www.perturbator.com/ Artwork - Illutect Mark Toner @tonertweets Shoreline of Infinity www.shorelineofinfinity.com Twitter: @shoreinf Facebook: Facebook.com/ShorelineOfInfinity 66.6% of the psychic energy generated by this podcast will be donated to the Survivors of the 236th Greyghast/Cyclin Inter-Sector War Fund.
