I made all of these

Hit Singles, the new audio fiction series I created and produced along with Sarah Shachat and Zach Valenti is out now. You can listen to all 12 episodes over on Audible! I wrote (some might say gushed) about it over at Controlled Chaos, my newsletter.

But here's the short version:

This is a very special, very personal show.

It's tons of fun, with great characters, great stories, and great music.

If you like it, please rate it and tell folks about it. 🙏

But don't just take my word for it! The amazing @laurenshippen was one of the first people to hear the show now that its episodes are out. Here's what they had to say about it:

Lots more to say, lots more to come. But for now... check out the show.

It's taken a long time to make this one, but it's worth it for the finished product.

It's great to make new friends, but it's also great to get to reunite with old ones. That's why, when we were casting Hit Singles, we stacked the team with a bunch of our old friends from our first series, Wolf 359.

Each of them is stunning in this new show.

On top of being the show's lead sound designer, Zach Valenti also plays Drew. Funny, charming, handsome, Drew will make you swoon - until his big monologue makes you cry.

Noah Masur plays Allen. This is a show about overcoming insecurities, fears, and emotional isolation - and Allen's the bad guy!

Mary Kate Wiles plays Roxy, the influencer to end all influencers. Her role is small, but it casts a long, mischievous shadow over so much of the series.

Look, sometimes you write a character who's just an asshole. And when you do? You know who to call. The sweetest, kindest, most talented man: Zach Libresco.

Finally, the ever-brilliant Michelle Agresti did us the huge favor of being a part of our ensemble. She turns up in almost every episode of Hit Singles, but her most memorable part may be as Alice, a small jump scare of a character. I can't say more than that, but you'll know her when you hear her!

The New Thing got announced today.

It's called Hit Singles. It's a scripted, full cast audio fiction romantic comedy that Zach, Sarah, and I made for Audible. It's about love, friendship, music, found families, and what happens when you go to New York City for a whirlwind summer.

We got to work with an incredible team on this one. A cast led by Evangeline Young (Dracula: The Danse Macabre), Nicholas Podany (Hello Tomorrow!), Simone Policano (Blue Bloods), Julia Rehwald (Fear Street), and Briggon Snow. (The Bright Sessions, and all your other favorite audio fiction shows.)

Also featuring Noah Masur, Avery Trufelman, Mary Kate Wiles, Marlain Angelides, just to name a few others! With original music by Summer Camp's Jeremy Warmsley!

Well, well, well... look who's on Tumblr again...

That's right, friends. After a few years of only occasionally poking my head into this platform, I think the time has come for me to once again have a dedicated Tumblr.

This is a decision that came about mostly because in the next couple of weeks/months, I'm going to have a few projects to promote, including the release (hopefully) of the New Thing that I've been working on for the past few years. And I want to do everything that I can to get those works the attention they deserve - I've worked really hard on them, along with several groups of super talented people!

So this is largely going to be a hype/marketing blog for those new things, as well as a new way to share news about upcoming work! But I'm only human - along the way I'll probably also re-share a couple of things I think are cool or stuff about new work by people I like. (And if questions turned up in my ask box, I'd probably do my best to answer them!)
