    [Welcome Magnus listeners] Overclocking - 2nd half

    The first half of "Overclocking" was released earlier today on the feed of The Magnus Protocol, one of the largest fiction podcasts in the world, with the invitation to listen to the second half on the feed of The Program audio series, its home. The Program is a sci-fi anthology, meaning every episode is a standalone story. However they are all set in the same world - a one in which Money, State, and God became fused into a single entity. You can find out more about the show at the official website: www.programaudioseries.com If you enjoyed this episode, I recommend you next listen to episode 32, "All unsaved progress will be lost". Also, don't forget to join the show's Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/programaudioseries FOR FREE and get monthly updates, quizzes, polls, and show discussions. Upgrade at any time to get subscriber-exclusive episodes, ad-free listening, early-access, and behind-the-scenes for as little as $3/mo. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Decompiling The Program: Contemporary Cube Theory

    The second instalment of our behind-the-scenes series: join me and Jacqueline Ainsworth as we discuss "Contemporary Cube Theory", currently the latest episode of The Program audio series. Among other topics, we talk about why it took three years to make this episode, which episode came out of it as its offshoot, how frontend cubes differ from backend cubes, and there's even a competition to win the Program's T-shirt. REFERENCES: - Remembering Yugoslavia episode on Youth Work Actions: https://yugoblok.com/youth-work-actions/ - Snippet explaining the etymology of "marra" was taken from Ken Loach's film The Old Oak (available to watch for free through Canadian and presumably US library systems via Hoopla) - Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature podcast: https://www.modesofthoughtpodcast.com/

    Decompiling The Program: You had me at Hello World

    The first instalment of what might become a permanent series: Jacq Ainsworth, one of Program's most prolific voice performers, joins me to dissect individual episodes of the show. We start with "You had me at Hello World", the inaugural episode of The Program audio series, created in December 2017 and first released in November 2019. Among other topics, we talk about why it took two years for the first episode to premiere, who the show's announcer is, discuss the inner workings of the Program and why we're already living in a dumb version of it, how come no artist singing in English could throw a concert for 14 to 94 year olds, and why the global revolution is unlikely to start in the U.S.
