3.9 The Emerald Veranum

Waiting For October is a queer supernatural audio drama series from the creators of Moonbase Theta, Out. The story of Waiting For October is set in the world of October – a place of monsters, a place of fiction, a place of others born from the need of our stories. Karo came from the monster world to live in ours; made a life there and fell in love with Yvonne. Now they are both crossing over to adventure in October together; to uncover Karo’s past, and to discover what that means to their future. Waiting For October explores why we tell stories, what deep human need they fulfill, and why so many of them are about monsters. Episode Info: Karo brings Yvonne to October for her first visit, an evening in the pumpkin patch.
