Remnants : An Audio Drama
A dark fantasy thriller audio drama. When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place... Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller audio drama following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects – a broken pocket watch; a steel thimble; a silk scarf – but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone’s life story. Each week the Apprentice reads a new remnant, following that person’s journery beginning to end. When he’s done, he must make a judgement; shelve or discard. But he doesn’t know what the criteria is or what the consequences of such a judgement might be. The more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more we begin to understand the magnitude of the task he has been set. And the more both we, and the Apprentice himself, wonder why it is him who has been chosen to do it. With every week, a new mystery. With every new mystery, a terrible choice.

Hey folks!
So remember how I said at the end of the Q&A that Remnants would be coming out 25th August unless something went wrong? I think I might have jinxed myself by saying that out loud, because something did go wrong! But that’s okay. Release is being pushed back until 6th of October which is just six weeks after the original planned release date.
The shape of this season is a liiiiiittle bit different to season one! T...
This was very fun to put together, which I'm sure you'll be able to tell the amount of times I just start laughing in this recording. Spoilers for Remnants S1, of course, and content warnings for discussions of elements that appear in the show, including mental illness, death, grief and addiction.
