Ripped from the pages of the hit indie comic book, this audio drama is a reimagined queer take on a classic genre that’s a blend of noir, horror, and mystery with a sense of humor. 1940, Los Angeles. Openly gay private eye Dash Malone discovers Plink, his recently deceased lover, had been hiding secrets to a supernatural world. Now this detective must balance adventures, such as stopping a reanimated mummy, aiding an invisible man, and uncovering the secrets to a mad scientist's lab; with the run of the mill cases a private eye tackles like catching the random cheating spouse with their pants down. With a society that rejects this PI for who he is, Dash must learn to trust his friends enough to help him, and by doing so he might discover a power that’s hiding inside of him. A power that could help him find his way back to his long lost love.

Exhaust is a dark, intimate play set during the early years of the Holocaust. Over the course of a single drive, two Nazi drivers talk, argue, joke, and circle around the reality of what they are doing. What begins as routine conversation slowly reveals a much more dangerous landscape beneath it: fear, guilt, survival, cruelty, and the desperate need to keep functioning inside a system built on murder. As the journey continues, their sharply different ways of coping begin to collide. One buries himself in detachment and procedure; the other is haunted by memory and unable to fully look away. Their exchanges shift from mundane to menacing, from bitterly funny to deeply unsettling, exposing not only the machinery of violence around them but the fragile, compromised humanity still flickering inside it. Tense, claustrophobic, and morally unflinching, Exhaust confronts the banality of evil head-on. It is a play about what people do to survive, what they choose not to see, and what it costs to keep moving forward when stopping feels impossible.

Twelve-year-old Nils Olsen lives in the coastal town of Svendborg in Denmark with his sensible but unremarkable parents. His life is orderly and predictable, and excitement is in short supply—until his eccentric and largely withdrawn grandfather, who lives in the family’s garden shed, gives Nils an unexpected birthday present. The gift is a ship. Well, not a ship exactly, but the materials to build one: weathered planks, timber, and an idea that borders on the impossible. Reluctantly, Nils’s parents agree to let him and his grandfather work on the project in the garden, certain it will be short-lived. They assume the scale of the task will overwhelm him and that the ship will never be finished. They are wrong. As the vessel takes shape, Nils discovers a determination he didn’t know he possessed, and what begins as an unlikely construction project becomes the first step toward a life-changing adventure. The full score of the Captain Skimp series grew out of more than fifteen years of live, improvised storytelling with children aged 4–12. Through his part time work—first in kindergarten and later as a schoolteacher—Jonas Præst Nielsen recorded over 300 sessions, letting characters, worlds, and stories emerge naturally through play and interaction with the children. This improvisational process became the creative backbone of the series. As Nielsen says, “I didn’t write the story—the characters did.” Jonas Præst Nielsen is a Danish composer and musician who later expanded into writing and storytelling. His musical background shapes the series’ distinctive music, rhythms and cinematic sound universe. For his Cinematic Audiobooks, he has received several grants from the Danish Arts Foundation, AUTOR, and KODA, supporting productions that combine artistic authenticity with a high, technical quality of sound design.

Supernova is both a fanciful and autobiographical tale, based upon Liza’s real experience losing multiple family members to suicide and cancer. Expressed through her playing multiple characters, various genres of musical numbers (including but not limited to country, pop, R & B, and funk), and humor that perfectly juxtaposes the seriousness of the poignant thematic elements. The show’s heroine shares the same name as the actress who plays her. However, in this dimension Liza belongs to a family of superheroes tasked with the very large feat of saving the world. Unlike the rest of the members of her family, at the top of the show, Liza is the only member who doesn’t have any superpowers yet. She’s merely equipped with a positive attitude and an uncanny ability to find joy in even the smallest things and darkest moments. With no cure or anecdote in sight, the family’s mission is to discover the causes of an “emotional pandemic” sweeping the globe that results in people losing their will to live and “self-destructing”. The family’s adventure of saving the world is intrinsically linked with Liza’s personal journey of self-acceptance and becoming who she truly is. On March 1st, Liza got the all too familiar call that another brother had died by suicide. Of her four brothers, three of them have taken their lives; joined in death by their mother and stepmother, who both passed away of differing cancers 15 years apart. Seemingly compelled by something greater than herself, Liza could no longer keep silent about her intimate experiences with death, grief, trauma, and mental health. Within months, a series of events, people, and opportunities serendipitously unfolded resulting in a one woman mental health musical comedy. What began as a small whisper of a desire to share her family’s story and possibly impact the taboo nature with which suicide and emotional well-being are currently regarded in society, quickly snowballed into a much bigger conversation about happiness, spirituality, and one’s ability to withstand the uncontrollable and unfair, but inherent, challenges of life. The show closes with a finale song that perfectly encapsulates the theme and message of the musical: What makes life worth living? Do more of THAT!
