The Mechadova Engine is a queer steampunk audio drama. The story follows Log, who has spent their entire life, as far as they can remember, alone inside a single library train carriage in the sky. Their only knowledge of the outside world is limited to books from a long time ago on earth. Log has never thought to question their existence or the world outside, until one day their carriage stops. Here, they meet Tinker, a member of a resistance group, who turns their world upside down. It's a story about meaningless structures, the power of community, and how knowledge is preserved and retold.

    BONUS

    Presenting: DEADWOOD

    While our kickstarter is running, we figured we'd share some other shows we love! DEADWOOD is a horror anthology podcast centered around an eldritch god along with several other stories featuring immortal entities and ghosts, both literal and metaphorical. Some stories are more standalone than others, but all focus on themes of grief, betrayal, familial love, hope, identity, survival, queerness, mental illness, and what it means to be different when the world dies around you. It features excellent writing, and an incredible cast and crew, including Rhys Tirado, who plays Tinker in The Mechadova Engine. It is created by Saniyah Hill, a talented black and queer creator. If you're looking for some horror this February, give it a listen! Here is the full second episode: "Reopen". Shownotes The Pioneer is unleashed. CW: Discussion of a deceased sibling, flesh burning, body horror, blood, manipulation, gore, possession, character death Transcript: link here (all transcripts can be found on https://deadwoodpod.carrd.co/) Cast Rhys Tirado as Andie Jalen Frisby as Demetrius Cain as April Pollux as Cain Luce M. as Judith Ko Laluna as Zeke Daisy McNamara as The Pioneer Crew Created and written by: Saniyah Hill Co-produced by: Makenna Fulgham Co-writers & script editors: Madeleine Minks, Daniela Vega Labrador, J.E Berkowsky, and Meaghan McDonald Latin: Meaghan McDonald Audio editing by: Rhys Tirado Music: “Static Wind Ambient Soundscape” by Dream Protocol on Pixabay Cover art: Scinna Find us on Twitter: @Deadwood_pod Instagram: @deadwood.pod Tumblr: @deadwood-podcast Bluesky: @deadwoodpodcast.bsky.social Email: deadwoodpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
