    Xen – The Zen of the Other, The Audio Drama
    Oct 29 2021
    Xen: The Zen of the Other is a work that follows one man as he attempts to find his way through the jumble of modernity that envelopes us all and threatens to strangle us in its “Tentacles Longer Than Night.” https://digital.panicmachine.com/album/xen-the-zen-of-the-other Cast into a world where the liminal overlaps with the world of paranormal /philosophical speculations, Ezra Buckley struggles to keep his head above water long enough to pluck a jewel of wisdom from the crown of a forest spirit. In a world devoid of rites of passage, Ezra finds himself on his own as he is confronted with the very real prospect of having a life-changing, Liminal experience in the woods of Big Sur, if he can survive it. Is it even real? Is it the legendary Watchers of Big Sur phenomena or something else? Xen is a work that confronts the questions of identity, modernity, life, the other, and the place for rites of passage in the modern world. This audio-play version of Xen includes a fully hyperlinked ebook for reference use. credits released October 29, 2021 Xen: The Zen of the Other Written by Ezra Buckley.

  • Coming Soon: Highly Strange

    Coming Soon: Highly Strange
    Feb 3 2021
    We’re producing our first original on high strangeness. In it we explore the psyche of “strange” through the stories of three people in highly strange situations. Season One – “Information Golem” looks at the life of Joseph Matheny as he dreams up what perhaps becomes the world’s first online ARG (Alternative Reality Game) known as Ong’s Hat. Launched in the 90’s as an innocent social experiment around story and information, things quickly went left of field. The oddities that surrounded Ong’s Hat are curiosities Joseph still struggles to understand to this day. Joseph has gotten alot of attention lately from the press because of the Quanon craziness and White House uprising. More recently he was featured on Slate Magazine’s Decoder Ring series. Also there’s news of a upcoming Netflix feature on conspiracy creation he’ll appear in. His story touches on the issues that seem to dovetail at the volcanic crossroads where personality and mental health meets randomness and free information. Lots of unruly yet relevant questions get born there. Listen to “Highly Strange” on Spreaker. https://www.patreon.com/posts/41996383
