3/1: Aptitude Lo
Audio Drama - Comedy, Spy-fi
Long ago, powerful beings known as Aptitudes roamed the earth, each of them able to control their own separate element. Due to opposing elements and disagreements, four dangerous disputes appeared between 8 Aptitudes. To protect the people from their fights, they escaped to their own realms and left behind magical rings that a holder could use to settle the disputes for them. In present-day time, we follow the main character, Mercury Lo, who is a hyperactive secret agent that’s terrible at his job. He is tasked with preventing a gang of assassins and thieves from stealing a ring from a museum - little does he know that he’s about to be tasked with a greater job - helping free the Aptitudes of their disputes and bringing them back to the Earth they once roamed.

Audio Book - Spy-fi, Comedy
Wine is arguably the only drink on this planet that can inspire love, hate, snobbery, insecurity, fear, wonder, in just one sip. Not surprising, wine can be mysteriously intimidating for those who are curious to know more about it. My name is CheeK, a film and tv writer director and wine enthusiast with a Diploma in Wines and Spirits and a certified Sommelier qualification. Combining my love of storytelling and wines, I am on a mission to make wine easier to understand and appreciate - one tongue in cheek story at a time! And what better genre to start this mission than a spy mystery. A parody of a spy mystery, to be exact. On that note, please remember that, besides the wine information in this podcast, names, locations and anything that sounds remotely real are purely a work of fiction. Like wine, the stories should not be taken TOO seriously. I hope you enjoy the story and in the process, also find out a bit more about wine.

3/20: Call of the Deep: A Dungeons & Dragons 5E Actual Play Podcast
Audio RPG - Fantasy
The Sword Coast is where the continent of Faerûn meets the Sea of Swords in the west. This coastline is populated by a wealth of different folk from the Savage Frontier in the north down to the nation of Amn in the south. The settlements on the coast and the Island Kingdoms of the Sea of Swords and Trackless Sea are the primary settings of this campaign, but other inland locations may feature more prominently during your playthrough. For additional information on these locations, consult the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide. The coastline itself is perilous and changeable. In the north is the Sea of Moving Ice, filled with great bergs that shatter the hulls of unwary ships. Further south lies calmer waters and friendly ports and cities, such as Neverwinter, Waterdeep, and Baldur’s Gate. Despite the existence of these havens, Red Rocks isn’t the only thing that will sink your vessel. Pirates from Luskan and The Northlander Isles roam the coast, targeting merchant galleys and bullying fishing boats. The seas too are cruel, harbouring hideous monsters, tempestuous squalls and unseen horrors in their depths. Many strange forces have threatened the Sword Coast in recent years, from marauding giants to a death curse, the Cult of Elemental Evil and Tiamat herself. Brave heroes have managed to restore peace to the region each time, but this new threat may be the breaking point. Something distinctly alien has crash-landed in Faerûn. Something which the Material Plane is not equipped to deal with.

Audio RPG - Noir
New Orleans, 1935. Whoever called this “the Big Easy” sure got that one wrong. Things are tough all over. Honest work is hard to find, and even dishonest jobs are getting scarce. The one thing that’s not in short supply is trouble. From shady thugs to crooked cops to Mafia soldiers, there’s plenty of characters out there looking to give an honest Joe a hard time. And that’s not the worst of it. There are stories going round about things that go bump in the night. Things you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley on a darker night. And those stories aren’t just coming from rummies or saps who read that Epitaph rag. Still, there are a few heroes left in the concrete jungle. Steely-eyed private dicks, fast-talking grifters, wild-eyed inventors, and shadowy houngans still struggle against the encroaching darkness. With enough moxie—and more than a little luck—they might just be enough to turn the tide.
