There are no "superheroes." We don't even use that word: we call them Anomalies. And to us normal people, not blessed with the gifts of flight, or strength, or hyper-powered mech-suits, these Anomalies, regardless of their intentions, are a threat. They must be dealt with--they must be equalized. We are the Bureau for the Equalization of Anomalistic Metahumans, BEAM for short. We will solve the Anomaly problem, by whatever means necessary. The BEAM Chronicles is a sci-fi/super-hero fiction podcast hosted, written, and performed by storyteller MJ Dooney.

    Chapter 25: Charlie Shayde

    Chapter 25: Charlie Shayde

    The final chapter of Book 1, but nothing too intense! Just the triumvirate being young in the aftermath of their big victory and all the emotional revelations that came from it. Drinking beer, watching the sunset, reminiscing, feeling their feelings...the way they're supposed to.

    I also outline what's next for the podcast, now that Book 1 is officially done!

    The contents of this episode were 100% written by me, MJ Dooney. I did use AI created voice filters, but any likeness to a real person was NOT intended. I would one day love to do this with proper voice acting, but currently lack the resources (and/or connections) to do that with fidelity.

    Chapter 24: Jaxon Teaque

    Chapter 24: Jaxon Teaque

    After roughly a year of working as an Equalizer, Jaxon finally gets to hear the story of the Kovorski bust. It's not a feel good story by any means, but...I guess it does explain a lot.

    In the aftermath of their triumphant victory, Cidney, Jaxon, and Charlie discover Howard Prophit aims to do something truly unfathomable.

    Chapter 22: Jaxon Teaque

    Chapter 22: Jaxon Teaque

    With Cidney and Charlie handling Tyler Foone, Jaxon is left alone in a warehouse with Enzo Skelton, aka The Fly. A man he attempted to release from this whole mess months ago, and a man who almost killed him and his friends twice now. He's a little upset. Upset enough to do something...drastic.

    Chapter 21: Charlie Shayde

    Chapter 21: Charlie Shayde

    For the first time in the history of the organization, an Anomaly has escaped from the Dungeons. And of course it's Tyler Foone--probably the worst possible guy to get out. Especially with Fly aiding in his efforts. How will AvA stand up to the combined mights of their two most powerful foes? Will they manage to save the world? And perhaps more importantly...what will they be willing to sacrifice to do so?

    Chapter 20: Cidney Kovorski

    Chapter 20: Cidney Kovorski

    With everybody all back alive and together again, Cidney and Murphy take a trip into the Dungeons to discuss the future of AvA, and a particular individual who probably shouldn't be allowed to join. Cidney takes this time to contemplate his position at BEAM. He finds a bit of clarity, then all hell breaks loose.

Compelling, charming characters in a very believable superpowered world!

I'm fully invested in this audio-drama! In terms of worldbuilding, it portrays a well-thought-out approach to how a world might realistically react to superpowered people. It does a great job establishing an explanation for how everyone's powers actually work, with a consistent internal logic; everything feels plausible, even if there isn't any real-world "science" behind it. Also features some seemingly commonplace or trope-y superpowers (like telekinesis or teleporting) that are approached and explored in unique ways.

Each character has a distinct voice, both literally and in terms of mannerisms/vocab/etc.--which is particularly impressive considering that they're all voiced by one person! I can't wait to hear what comes next in Book Two.
