Hot off the presses - a new animated logo!

Brown leather drawstring pouch with a “Once Upon a Wasteland” graphic sits on a wooden tabletop, surrounded by scattered blue branded bottle caps.

I'll have plenty of bottlecaps to hand out/trade at #WastelandJamboree! I ordered 100 more today just to have a cushion. Looking forward to seeing the awesome designs folks have created!

Flat lay of assorted “Once Upon A Wasteland” and “Dark Road Diaries” promotional merch on a wooden table, including stickers, cards, pins, and a small bag of items.

Two themed collectible coins on small stands atop a wooden table; one features the “Once Upon A Wasteland” logo, and the other shows two women standing back-to-back with pistols.

Getting ready for #WastelandJamboree! I'll have sticker packs and bottlecaps to hand out/trade, as well as a limited number of challenge coins and pins!

Illustrated podcast cover for Dark Road Diaries. In a misty blue-gray forest, a dark-haired young woman in a blue jacket and white shirt holds an open book as glowing teal magical swirls rise from its pages. Beside and slightly behind her, a curly-haired young man in a tan jacket raises a sword and looks off to the right in alarm. His T-shirt has a cassette tape graphic on it. Neon green triangular icons around them contain silhouettes of monsters or cryptid-like figures. Large bright green and yellow title text across the lower half reads “DARK ROAD DIARIES,” with white text below: “A SUPERNATURAL COMEDY AUDIO FICTION PODCAST.”

Episode 2 of "Dark Road Diaries," "Where Devils Go to Drink," is live!

After a promising lead surfaces, Jack and Daria follow Jamie’s trail to a demon-run bar where the rules are strange and the patrons are stranger.

Promotional poster for “Wasteland Jamboree” featuring a smiling headshot of Brad Williams (aka ReticentDuet), creator of “Once Upon a Wasteland,” centered on a dark, rugged collage background with flames and West Virginia imagery. Text reads: “Meet Me in Appalachia: Wasteland Jamboree,” May 2nd & 3rd, 2026, Sutton and Flatwoods, West Virginia, with the Pioneer Saloon logo at top right.

Taking the feed drop on the @onceuponawasteland.com feed, we're over 1000 downloads for our debut episode!

Hopefully some of the folks who caught it on the OUAW feed will head over and keep listening on the main feed; if they do, I'm confident that they'll like what they hear.

On top of this, because of our wonderful limbic systems, praise and appreciative comments tend to take a while to sink in, while negative feedback tends to plummet towards the depths of our soul like a fucking rock.

Tell people when they dk a good job.

We all need it.

We just had our first downloads from Lesotho 🇱🇸, bringing our total country list to 185!

New interview with aL's Mystical Loft was just released! I talk about Dark Road Diaries and a little bit about Once Upon a Wasteland. Check it out here (and no comments about my scraggly beard 😅)! -BW

Auditions are now closed!

We had a total of 633 submissions!

Thanks so much to everyone who submitted!

Screenshot of a review titled “Woke” with a 1/5 star rating. In the top right it says “2w ago” and “Trucker binge.” The review text reads: “Lesbian smut. Not fallout, more sex in the city with rainbows. So much so it should have its own title rather than backpack with a fallout theme to get 5 stars from fans of the game.”

These reviews always make me cackle. "Sex in (sic) the City with rainbows" was pretty good, though, I may use that in marketing! 😂

We're in the home stretch! There's still time to submit your audition(s), just be sure to get them in by this Friday (the 13th).

We'll make our final decisions by the following Friday (the 20th).
