If I was the Captain of the Farragut i'd be starting to take offence at how Enterprise keeps phoning my first officer in his quarters to ask him to go and give me my marching orders.

Without hyperbole, the hypest shit of all time. Do this please.

More Vel and Kleya in anything frankly.

12 episodes! Same as season one.

So two more volumes to come.

Until now I'd been unimpressed with S3 of #StrangeNewWorlds to say the very least (no shock given the writers strike), but it sure turned it around today.

Tense, well paced mystery, touch of cosmic horror, and most importantly just peak exploration vibes. Almost Outer Wilds-ish even.

More please.

The Sojourn Audio Drama The Sojourn is an award-winning science fiction audio drama featuring a full voice cast, scientifically accurate sound effects, and an original score. Available now through audiobook retailers.

Just listened to the Season 2 Volume 2 finale of The Sojourn Audio Drama, Vanishing Point. I have uncritical praise for this masterclass of a show. Dominic Keating delivers the performance of the century and every other cast member matches him in talent line for line

This episode was *amazing*. No words, might very well be the best they've so far done.

Go check out the Sojourn. The newest volume is out now on all distributors, and it is entirely worth it. It's got spaceships, lesbians, and amazing voice work by amazing VAs, including Ben Prendergast of Apex-

Very glad to see platforms like this taking a clear stand against Audible. Libro is one of the good ones.

Having a lot of fun with Dune: Awakening atm.

Never would have expected for a second that any of these Dune tie-in games would be half this authentic a Dune experience.

Its basically Sand-nautica with MMO elements, and i'm very here for that.

Plus you can fly an Ornithopter and that's hype.

Damn, the new Sojourn episode was really great! Loads of character moments in it, so far my favorite of Season 2! Great job from @thesojourn.bsky.social

Any Becky Chambers fans around here?

This coming Saturday's #TheSojourn episode is my little tribute to her wholesome, minimum-drama, slice-of-life style of fiction.

Enjoy it while it lasts folks cos its as close to a beach episode as we're ever getting 😂

Shoutout to the supporting VAs on the latest #TheSojourn, with particular mention to @maiaharlap.com (Radka) & Elizabeth Plant (DeVallier)

Something that really stood out to me in the Patreon Listening Party is just how much their performances in those small roles elevated the final product.

#TheSojourn S02E04 Hitting Patreon this Sat.

Very proud of this one. Its our longest ep yet at nearly 57 minutes, and in structure and style its very much like an episode of Sharpe or Hornblower.

Also has one of our best SFX setpieces ever imo.

Join the listening party on our Discord if you can!

Wishing safety to all of our #TheSojourn cast and crew in LA. As well as to all the other upstanding and innocent LA residents of all stripes who are presently fighting to drive an army of cowardly jackbooted fascist bastards from their home.

May they triumph.

Had no idea Hooj had been working on this video, was a very pleasant surprise. 😊

Really excellent breakdown of the artistic process involved here and well worth your time.

Its all about monopolies really. Audible is so engrained as THE audionarrative platform that most will never consider an alternate. So they can offer criminally low rates to creators.

I dare not calculate how much we'd have made in the last five years if Audible paid 50% instead of 13%

For Sojourn this is not new. The appalling state of affairs regarding Amazon Audible I discussed on Spacedock years ago has not changed at all, and has worsened by many efforts to force AI Scraping on creators.

Being as expensive as it is to produce, Sojourn has never had a prayer without Patreon.

I am infinitely grateful to our Patrons, without whom Sojourn would cease to exist overnight.

But it should not be this way. Authors getting single-digit percentages of their sales revenue from corporate storefronts and audiences having to pick up the slack is a deeply unnatural state of affairs.

I remember when Patreon first came along as a way to basically tip your favourite YouTubers and give them a little extra.

We've now reached the point where audience members pledging on Patreon to keep their favourite projects alive is a baseline assumption, not a bonus.

Did some maths yesterday, of all the revenue #TheSojourn made in the last 31 days, only 7% were from sources that were NOT Patreon

That's how bad things have got with author rates etc. Between what YouTube, Amazon etc see fit to pay, Patreon has become a life support machine for creators everywhere

Big shoutout to @toughsf.bsky.social, @thespaceshipper.com and anyone else who regularly shares #TheSojourn about

Things are very rough atm with the world economic situation and the usual AI and Amazon nonsense

Its a hard time to be an indie project and I'm so grateful to everyone keeping us alive

Oh since i've not been online to say it:

#Andor remains the best live action Star Wars thing ever made by a country mile.

Continually phenomenal. Can't wait for the finale.
