    End of the World, rsvp by the 20th by Isa Martinez

    Lila sits at a trashed out bar awaiting the end of the world when in stumbles Lewis, an optimist. The pair has a choice. Drink till they forget, or wait it out and see what comes next. It can't get any worse... can it? Only listen to this after you've been binging a show long enough that Netflix asks "Are you still there?"

    Four Walls/One Night by Cris Eli Blak

    Grady and Julie are mother and son. Grady and Julie are fundamentally different people. Grady and Julie are more alike than they are willing to realize. Grady and Julie have both made mistakes. Grady and Julie are both afraid of the uncertain world we live in. Grady and Julie need each other. In the span of one evening conversation, they will learn these things and more. Sit down with your family and listen to a family. Hear your own highs and lows, hear your own experiences or maybe the experiences you feel lucky to have never had. Written by: @criseliblak Directed by: Ariella Ormai Como Starring: James Aldred and @char.lotte.keith

    These Things Are Sent to Try Us by Emma Bentley

    Jonathan arrives at his neighbour's house desperately trying to get her to join the infamous Neighbourhood Whatsapp group, because, if anything's going to save us, it's exchanging old furniture and slightly mouldy vegetables, right? But when he meets Marge, he realises he's met his match. No, not everybody wants to be in a "community", and perhaps for good reasons. Best listened to whilst trying not to look through your next-door neighbour's windows on the way home.

    start again? by Agnieszka Wieclawska

    Six months ago, everyone woke up, and no one could remember anything, not even their language; now two people try to make a recording to explain what has happened, but they might have been too involved in the cause of it to be truthful. Create a secretive atmosphere - sink into your armchair with headphones on, hide in a closet with lights off, but whatever you do, remember - this is a secret.

    3, 2, 1... by Emily Steck and Misha Graham-Patel

    A man and a woman find themselves in a New Years Eve house party moments past midnight. As the minutes and hours pass by, and the drinks pile up, these two humans try to maybe, hopefully, connect with each other. Or at least make out. Best listened to when you are in deep existential-hangover-ennui. Or if you just want to feel like you're in a mediocre house party on New Years Eve wondering how you will ultimately get home.
