Celebrate BIPOC audio drama this October with the hashtag #BIPOCtober!

We'll be spotlighting BIPOC created/led audio dramas and their creators from October 13-20, 2024.

If you'd like to be spotlighted, feel free to send us your show title, a description/summary, some promo materials, and which characters (or creators!) are BIPOC.

BIPOC = Black, Indigenous, People of Color

The Rules:

Use the hashtag #BIPOCtober to share art, fic, features, and other creative posts centred on your favourite BIPOC characters in audio drama, as well as BIPOC voice actors and creators.

Make sure to add a short description of the character or podcast you're spotlighting so that others can learn about them! The aim for this week is to get people interested in the characters and shows they come from.

Try to keep the posts all-ages, but if your work or show has adult elements, ⚠️Place it under the cut (Read More) or add a warning/disclaimer!⚠️ If it's a fic (presumably on AO3), ensure a proper rating and warnings are reflected. We won't exclude adult or mature works (since the founder of this is a horror podcast) but we want to keep things safe for everyone :)

CREATORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO HYPE THEIR OWN SHOWS if they are BIPOC.

But most importantly, have fun! Feel free to ask questions and reach out.

Evelyn Wai from Hi Nay: Livestreaming college student turned paranormal researcher. She's great and I wish her well in whatever her career trajectory ends up being. Plus she's canonically aspec which I found out after I already planned to claim her for my aspec quota, which goes to show that when I turn my aspec beam on characters I am never wrong. (Ignore all the times I have been textually wrong.)

Jane Gonzalez from The Pasithea Powder: Presumably Chicana like her VA and podcast co-creator; all the Cassandran and Medean characters seem to live in a heavily Hispanic-influenced culture. (Take that, generically white Western spacefutures.) Support #women of color in STEM committing malpractice. I love her so much.

Nova NoStar from InCo: A crotchety information seller who rescues a prince from a fairy tale planet and ends up overthrowing a kingdom while on leave for personal reasons. Having made extensive study of hygiene in spaceflight, I would like to give a special shoutout to the wash day minisode. She and Lovelace should swap spaceship natural hair care tips.

Welcome one and all to the inaugural Hi Nay Fan Week! With Act 3 just around the corner, it's a great time to share your love for your favourite audio drama. Starting on Feb. 2nd, you can choose from one of the characters or a theme (or do both, if you like!) and make art, write fic, create meta, moodboards, memes, whatever strikes your fancy! Wherever you post, please make sure to tag #hinayfanweek so other fans can find and share it! (and please tag spoilers where needed)

If you're unfamiliar- Hi Nay is a horror podcast created by Motzie Dapul and Reg Geli. The story follows Mari, a Filipina babaylan who has been living a pretty quiet life in Toronto until she opens her apartment door to find her neighbour Laura being chased by something out of a nightmare. From there, she's visited by Detectives Donner and Murphy, and finds herself more and more entangled with the supernatural goings-on in the city. But at least she can always call her Nanay (mother) to update her on their findings.

I'm so sad to report that, for the first time in so long (maybe over a year??), I have not listened to a single audio drama episode this week! 😭 HOWEVER, once my exam is done next week it is ON.

Just a friendly reminder that if your podcast has BIPOC characters or creators or VAs, we will happily share your posts promoting your work.

Created by Faith McQuinn, Apollyon's first season released at the end of 2021, when we were all still trying to grapple with the effects that the pandemic had had on our lives. It hit very hard then and it continues hitting hard.

I made a new bracelet specifically for this shoutout:

Three misfits from Mexico, Haiti and Japan with connections to death gods from from their respective cultures try to survive and protect their heritage from modern-day crusaders (featuring magic, gods, witches, angels, and more). The world that Samy Souissi created is so rich and detailed!

When I made bracelets inspired by Desperado, it was one of the first times I experimented with coloured wire. I made three different versions, each with the same bead pattern but different wire colours.

Red wire for Elio/La Catrina and their blood powers.

Gold wire for Talia/Baron Samedi, God of the Party.

Black wire for Shinji and his spirit of Death.
