Bonus Content: The Parable of Elra and the Whispering Willow

[📖 Companion · The Lore of No Return & Specials | 📖 Vibe: Cross-Era Lorecast Companion (Treaties, Realms & World Primers)] Why did Semion keep calling The Domina, 'Elra'? Is it because my Dad doesn't know how to pronounce the 'Y' in Elyra? No! It references an ancient Halfling Fable from long before the Fall... And also because Dad doesn't know what ys are for... things can be multiple things... okay? Enjoy!

[📖 Companion · The Lore of No Return & Specials | 📖 Vibe: Cross-Era Lorecast Companion (Treaties, Realms & World Primers)] Hey all!

Alien Robot Space Jesus From the Future

[📖 Companion · The Lore of No Return & Specials | 📖 Vibe: Cross-Era Lorecast Companion (Treaties, Realms & World Primers)] A collaboration between Strange New Worlds and Spaced Out Tales and The NoReturniverse. Be sure to check out The Strange New Worlds and Spaced Out Tales Podcast Feed! Alien Robot Space Jesus From The Future is a surreal and irreverent sci-fi comedy about a well-meaning but bewildered time-travelling saviour who arrives on Earth hoping to fix humanity, only to be met with indifference, bureaucracy, and a media circus. As he stumbles through job centres, detention cells, and diplomatic summits, his mission to stop the world from destroying itself becomes increasingly farcical. Skewering political theatre, messiah complexes, and the absurdity of modern life, this radio play blends dry satire with a healthy dose of cosmic futility. Voices From the Vortex of Bureaucracy and Beyond The Jaw-Dropping John Kennard as the indomitable Alien Robot Space Jesus From The Future The Astounding Abbie Jordan-Tickle brought practiced dispassion to the Job Centre Clerk The Kinda-Knavish Kier Zhou tried his best as the Angry Job Seeker The Jubilant Jim Cogan lent machine-like charisma to the Job Centre Terminal The Kinetic Kat McQueen served up sass as Job Centre Agent 1 The Commanding Cameron Gergett countered with indifference as Job Centre Agent 2 The Mighty Matt Evans brought polite peace making to the Police Officer The Luminous Lauren Deakin investigated truth as the Journalist The Gravitas-Gilded Girunduu governed gloriously as the Prime Minister The Blazing Brandon Gamblin oozed menace as Agent Orange The Charismatic Chris Bauso made mayhem as President Biggle Guff The Justifiably Jaded Joe Killcar almost kept secrets safe as the Secret Service Agent The Dynamic Danielle Thuen reported on reports as the Reporter The Stoic Stephen Newhand offered the voice of the everyman as Man on the Street The Kinda-Kooky Kier Zhou multitasked heroically as both Woman on the Street and Ambiguously Gendered Pedestrian The Divine Dylan Smith pontificated perfectly as The Pope The Kinda-Confused Kier Zhou also moonlighted as Supreme Leader Bum Suk’s Interpreter The Legendary Loretta Chang diplomatically decoded for the (totally fictional) President Wei Ni Xiong The Magnificent Michael Secha translated tyranny for President Tupin The Electrifying Emily Morse-Lee transcended reality as the Alien Robot Space God Script Sacrificed by the Chronically-Chaotic Kier Zhou Sound Sculpted by the Begrudgingly-Busy Kier Zhou, with Consultant Conjurer Jim Cogan Produced with Unearned Confidence by Kier Zhou & Jim Cogan Lyrics for The Apocalypse Hymn Originally written by Kier Zhou.

This show has one of the most chaotic [affectionate] release schedules but each of the ongoing arcs has something unique to offer and gives you a different angle on the world-building. Sometimes gut wrenchingly funny, sometimes grounded, it keeps you on your toes!
