There is a world - one of thousands touching ours - known as October. One of the archetypes; one of the realities that is a source for our stories.

    WFO Presents - Sidequesting!

    Hi folks! I hope you've enjoyed the first episode of our new miniseries. We're in-between weeks now, and it's a great time to talk a little about one of my favourite shows! Sidequesting is a fun little low-stakes audio drama about the random adventures in life, doing good in the world, meeting good people, and not missing out on the beauty still out there. Tal is one of my favourite people and they've made a show that's so easy to adore - and I've even gotten to write for it a couple of times! So stick around and listen, see what you think, and then go look up "Sidequesting" in your favourite podcast app and keep on listening! All the best, and we'll be back next week with more To-The-Moon miniseries action! *** This is episode 3.8, Silent Treatment, in which a whole town is given the silent treatment, and Rion tries to open up some communication. Transcript here. This episode was written and produced by Tal Minear with dialogue editing by Brad Colbroock. Eryx was voiced by Stephen Indrisano. Cella was voiced by Bonni Calderwood-Aspinwall. Sequoyah was voiced by Tal Minear. The voice of Rion was Tal Minear. Sidequesting is now fundraising for their fourth season! Find all the details at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sidequesting/sidequesting-season-4 *** ⁠⁠Sidequesting⁠⁠ is a fantasy podcast about avoiding the main plot. It follows an adventurer who’s willing to help anyone out, as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard that everyone keeps talking about. If you like indie audio fiction, new takes on fantasy tropes, lighthearted stories, queer joy, or avoiding the main plots of life, you'll love Sidequesting! You can find out more about the show and support them on ⁠⁠kickstarter⁠⁠ by going to ⁠⁠sidequestingpod.com⁠⁠. Funding this production supports indie art and queer creatives in a world where that support is increasingly hard to find. If you've been looking for lighthearted family-friendly fantasy stories with modern representation, you've found it!

Which, obviously it’s a Moonbase reunion – R: Absolutely. And it’s stock-filled with family drama – T: Uh, because it’s a rescue mission, kind of, possibly? R: Yeah, kind of a rescue mission – definitely a rescue mission, but you should see the questionable traveling conditions. T: Oh my god you need to call OSHA right the hell now.

    WFO Season 1 - Audio Chat!

    We're back with one more little chat / Q&A post-S1, this time with Deej, our sound designer Caroline Mincks, and our composer for the show Trace Callahan! All things audio are discussed, analyzed, joked about, and explained away before your very ears. Your Waiting For October Producers are: D.J. Sylvis, Tina Case, Sarah Mueller, and Robin Regalado! This should be the end of your Waiting For October Season 1 content! We'll be moderately silent for a while, as Deej writes and then we work on producing the first between-seasons miniseries, taking us to October's Moon! We'll see if there are any callbacks to another moon in another universe ... ;) Transcript: ⁠https://monkeymanproductions.com/2025/07/wfo-audio-chat-transcript/ Network: ⁠⁠https://fableandfolly.com/⁠⁠ Tiktok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@waitingforoct⁠⁠ Tumblr: ⁠⁠@monkeymanproductions⁠⁠ Discord: ⁠⁠https://discord.gg/6NAhrG5⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠Monkeyman Productions⁠⁠ BlueSky: ⁠⁠@monkeyman.bsky.social⁠⁠ Merch: ⁠⁠http://tee.pub/lic/zUb0YN1_6mw⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
