After Impact
After Impact follows the story of Reagan Esther Myer, one of the survivors of a mysterious apocalyptic event called Impact. Shortly after joining the pilot program for ThotBot, a brain implant that erases "harmful" memories and dulls emotions, she begins her life living in an abandoned shopping mall and producing survivalist tutorials for a crumbling world. Shortly after arriving at her new post, she finds a cassette tape detailing her very own journey from the day of Impact -- June 21, 1995 -- up until the day she joins The ULTRA.
This dystopian audio drama is one of four multi-platform "Episodes" that tell the story of Reagan Esther Myer and the ThotBot Storyworld. In addition to this tale, there are also three performance-based Episodes: an interactive installation, a multimedia musical, and an immersive theater show. Whereas each Episode stands alone narratively, together they weave a sprawling story across a mid-90s timeline.
Visit getthotbot.com for more on the other Episodes (and to attend if you find yourself in the Boston area).

WARNING: NSFW and for adult ears only. This week, we "thrust" ourselves into the world of paperback smut. Count how many times the word "flesh" is used; incidentally, one of my favorite words. And a story from a listener about a swan dive among strangers. Call (757)7-GLITCH to leave your story and be featured in an upcoming episode. Check out the cover of the book and an ad for a sanitary belt (plot related) on my instagram or bluesky. And if you're in the Boston area, you can now get tickets for the ThotBot Implantation Center, an interactive installation paired with an a/v concert-like experience, and also the most popular ThotBot Episode. Opening in Somerville, MA, in October 2025!
