Next month, you'll hear more about the new series, which is its own animal but it's in the same universe as FIS and Captain Afterland which could be considered origin stories, relative to it. The new series will be launched in August, but there'll be related stuff leading up to it. #audiodrama
--many historical periods, intertextual weaving, over-the-top or dull irony, pastiche, satire, awareness of constructed identity, and multiple meanings of a story or any element within it. :)
--deconstruction and denies the accepted conventions of any given genre or style. Its awareness of constructed reality extends even to itself. It is characterized by fragmentation, dark humor, a collage of many styles, collisions of high and low culture, elements of styles from--
My bad. It's a summary description of Postmodernism. "With a special spotlight on representations of reality, this approach to art not only refutes narratives from power structures that socially construct culture and perceived reality through language and mass media. It exposes them through--
The Edict Zero - FIS series was influenced by many things, but some are certainly more pronounced than others, aren't they? #edictzero #audio #audiodrama #sciencefiction
In honor of audio and all its champions.

The first build of the new series was completed some days ago from end to end. It now enters the polishing phase, leading up to the launch this summer. In a few months, there will be more activity on the social media fronts. The last scene of the FIS series is important. Thanks to all the listeners.
If it brings any solace to know that some things will never change, a quote from Jimmy Prime from the next series due out this summer:
"Then you'd best watch where you're aiming your gizmos if you're going to come out here, abracadabra man." 🥄
The finale of the new series is in post-production and there's a whole lot of whooshing going on. Whoosh!
Happy holidays to all and a happy new year. 2026 will be interesting. Post on the new series continues and will find its way out this summer. No spoilers, hype, or premature teases of cheeses until we're closer to launch. It will be a time when it's time. Times end and times begin. Cheers. LLAP. ⚡️
Post-production for the new series has reached the tenth feature. The three finale episodes will be deep in full-time post over winter break into 2026. A long, amazing journey since it was conceived in 2023 at the University at Buffalo. More work to be done. It's something special indeed. 🥄
For a spot of potentially fun or useless trivia, the final script (the grand finale) for Series 1 was sent out to cast on Halloween night. The spooky is appropriate.👻
Happy Halloween. As Spoon would say: "Booga booga." #audiodrama #cyberpunk #edictzero
A known that was locked down tonight. The next EZU series (title yet to be revealed) will have 12 episodes of 60-75 minutes length. #edictzero #audiodrama #cyberpunk #kairos
FAQ: How are you funded?
A: By the grace of the fates and the good humor of the gods. Devotion. We do it.
Some don't "get" that some things are just subjectively not for them. Fewer get that if it met their taste, there's a fair chance that it would not be for me, which means I wouldn't have created it in the first place. Recognize how that works. Just a thought from a creator.
“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
– Isaac Asimov
Development continues with the new series. Post-production now focuses on the ninth feature (eight and a half hours in). Exciting times behind the heavily-layered scenes with a marvelous cast. Quaking the gods again with the creative talismans. 🥄🍳🔥🤠
The eighth feature of the new series is currently in post. With features 60-75 minutes each, that tells you how deep we're in. More than halfway there. Myth, magic, and mathematics. A bit of mayhem in the code. 🥄 "Dungeon down."
A blind listener remarking that she felt like she had experienced the visual composition of a film for the first time made my whole year. Something that never occurred to me when developing KAIROS (based on screen positions). As Agent Garrett would say: "How cool is that."
"Captain Afterland" now has its own place to shine on Spotify as a standalone. This series, of course, will also serve as an origin story for the next phase of the EZU @edictzero #AudioDrama #cyberpunk #sciencefiction #sf #fiction

For those wondering, 2026 wasn't a typo for when the next series will launch. Quality takes time, especially when the lone post-producer balances it with grad school. There's months of development ahead. I promise the series won't be the Daikatana of audio drama (kudos if you know this reference).
Fifteen years ago, on September 9, 2010, the first episodes of the “Edict Zero – FIS” series were released. What an adventure it has been and what adventure to come!

A series of Captainly events. Post-producing that was a blast. The acting part was as well. Such fun.

Though it will still be some time before releases or much information is shared about it, about half of next phase Series 1 is produced and ready for polishing stages later on. The EZU is electric. It's building. Lots of things to look forward when the time comes. Thanks to all the Edict Zero fans.

If audio creators wish to ride the societal import of the word "podcasting" then they should be mindful that such terms are defined by the most popular model. Your quality content cannot compete with the lowest common denominator in a numbers game. That's what you do when you don that word.
The first two episodes were remastered, but there were no revisions to them or any others. More remasters were planned but never quite happened. As for moments you don't remember, well, there's *a lot* in every episode so not surprising. =]
A hangover for the ages. D8
