From the writer of The Book of Eli and co-writer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comes an all-new sci-fi epic starring Shannon Woodward (Westworld) and Troy Baker (The Last of Us).

In the near future, Earth has been conquered by a race of brutal alien machines known as the Mek. When a young woman stumbles across a mysterious map that may hold the secret to humanity’s liberation, she embarks on a dangerous odyssey that leads her to an amazing discovery — a long-lost prototype war machine known as a Gundog. Now she must confront a legacy she never knew she had to face down an overwhelmingly superior enemy in the hope of sparking a new flame of human resistance.

You can listen to all nine episodes of Gundog wherever you get your podcasts. Or use these links:

For your consideration, family, we present the first two chapters from our friends at Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon.

An artist, still broken from a horrific family tragedy, takes on a commission that seems too good to be true: $15,000 to paint a mural. But there’s a catch. He has to first enter the deep-dive, VR videogame, Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon in order to see what the client wants him to paint.

Trapped in a bloody, merciless nightmare, Duke only has one goal — to survive. And in order to survive, he must play the game. He must win the game. And to do that, he must become the most cruel, most ruthless monster of them all.

What you’re about to hear is a new show we want to share with you.

Eliza: A Robot Story is a ground-breaking new podcast that forces listeners to confront questions around evolving technology, gender dynamics and coercive control. 

Eliza’s a robot, but her story is very human. She's voiced by Sex Education’s Tanya Reynolds and lives in a world of dominance and manipulation and love. It’s all set in a future that’s far too close for comfort. This is fiction... or is it?

I’m going to play you episode 1. To listen to episode 2, hit the link in the episode description, or search for Eliza wherever you get your podcasts.

Afflicted is a horror thriller audio drama best described as Lovecraft Country meets True Blood, told in an anthology format like American Horror Story.

All seasons will feature characters who use the hoodoo belief system, and a demonic book bound in human flesh that wreaks havoc wherever it goes. Season 1 focuses on a small, East Texas town that suffers impossible natural disasters, and only the town's shunned hoodoo queen can save the town and its citizens, but will the fearful, overly religious citizens ensure their own demise?

Afflicted's creators plan to premiere on Halloween 2022, but only if they can pay everyone a fair wage.

So please support the show! Check them out on Indiegogo at www.indiegogo.com/projects/afflicted-a-horror-thriller-audio-drama and pledge to help make the next great audio drama a reality.

As cosmic horrors seep into the world around, Arthur must ask himself whether this entity truly seeks to help him, or are its intentions more… Malevolent.

CW: Frank and intimate out of character discussion about the pandemic, death and suicide. In character mentions of child labor, child and parental death and disfigurement.

There is a darkness that can only truly fall in the deep woods. An enveloping shadow of some great beast that is at the same time soothing and terrifying and can only exist in the absence of electric light and full moons. The hours that pass beneath this hallowed veil are usually best spent sleeping so that you do not witness the world that only thrives while the living aren’t in it, unless they are spent by the watchful vigil-keepers who keep that world at bay. Join us for a late night encounter in the deep woods around the Virginia state line.

This is a special alternate episode offered in memorial to Rhonda Kay Dooley and Grey.

The county had taken a narrow little valley and dug themselves a reservoir to provide drinking water for the whole town and then some. As pretty as the lake and the surrounding woods were, it was still something wedged into nature by the hands of men — water stolen from rivers and collected here like a dragon’s hoard, grounds that had lain untouched for centuries carved up and reshaped to serve human desires, seals broken and reset — all to meet the needs of the encroaching horde of townsfolk and hillfolk alike. Acts such as these have consequences, family.

Trust that they do.

Give a group of boys from anywhere a backyard, a stretch of woods, hell, a vacant lot even — and you can watch it rise to a place of hallowed glory. A patch of trees in between houses becomes an ancient battlefield where two sides of some long-remembered, or forgotten, conflict plays out again and again after school hours. An empty, fallow field becomes an arena or tournament ground where rasslin, foot racin and some form of ball-related sport are contested and pushed to the highest form of the game. Friendships and rivalries will rise, fall and be remembered in legend forever and ever. You give a group of boys not yet concerned with matters of what's in their britches just yet a place of their own, and it will outshine Rome in the eyes of its citizens.

CW: Child abandonment, adoption, death of a parent.

These yarns were spun to teach you to stay safe and mind common sense, and most importantly, your mama. The stories that get lost though — the ones hardly nobody ever lived to tell — were often just blunt and simple warnings. There is darkness here: fear it. Trust those who can see through it and you might live to see the dawn. Or then again... maybe not.

CW: References to regional ghost stories, monster/dog sounds, vomiting, mind control.

O Appalachia: mother and maw that births and devours us, roots sunk deep and winding as gnarled hands clasped in prayer, hold us fast and give us foundation. O knotted cage and vine wrought chains O feast of hills and green, that which feeds our hearts but often starves our blood: Hear us now.

To be a wolf is a thing of spring loaded joy, of black gummed panting death. Of pack and ground. Torn tendon and blood and broken bones in feasting abandon beneath a split and howling sky. But to be a wolf with the mind of mortal man or woman? No-we can’t be trusted with that kind of power without being broken by it. Not even wise women of The Clutch. Not even them.
