by far the most gratifying creative achievement of my life is how many people have reached out saying that our podcast got them into creative writing, either again or for the first time.

There is no other show like @thepoduniverse.com — it’s audio fiction, it’s movie discussion, it’s a writers workshop — and that has made it really challenging to market. I know there are people out there who would love it; There are people who love it right now. But we are nowhere near sustainable.

oh you want more body horror in your audio fiction? The Pod U’s got ya covered. Listen to VESTIGIAL, Dalton’s goopy take on Alien, on YT or wherever you find podcasts!

this month’s release schedule!

New Sunday means new @thepoduniverse.com, which means I am sat at my computer watching it. I am so excited to hear a new horror film from @daltondeschain.com.

Everyone needs to go listen to this. I can't wait until part 2!

have we got the podcast for you! if you also would like Jane Schoenbrun to direct an Alien, listen to our latest episode VESTIGIAL, a sci-fi horror script fictionally directed by Jane, all about gender and bodies and minds and what happens when the three are out of sync
