Hello Everyone!

My name is Alex Olsen. I’m the writer and producer of Empty, among other things. We’ll get to that. For now, I’d like to give you a huge thanks for following our little story so far! Empty started off as a labor of love around a year ago and we’ve been refining everything we can ever since. We only dreamed of getting the responses we’ve gotten so far!

Anyways, our plans! We’re officially announcing our plans for Empty, ‘among other things’! We’re releasing one episode of Empty a month until our Season Finale (episode 6) in May! At that point we’ll be taking a hiatus. This hiatus will continue until either the show could support itself from Patreon patrons or (if that’s already happened) we finish writing season 2. Right now we have a goal of 50 Patrons donating $1 or more. That should be all we need to keep this show going at the current production level.

Now for the ‘other things’. We’ve been working on another show for several months. It’s called Artemis. That’s a working title for now. We’re still hammering out a lot of kinks in the universe, and nothing is sacred. Not even the name. That project should take off between March and May. We won’t release much about that project beyond some trailers once we get past the writing stage. Artemis is written by myself, Kristen Harris, and Gian Foschini, with audio effects done by Andrew Perdue. Kristen Harris has been writing personal stories for over a decade. Gian Foschini is a podcaster and audio engineer based who has worked on the YouTube channel “Paranormal Zone“. Andrew is an experimental composer and recording engineer who has made works in various genres in his creation: “The Superluminal Project“. We’re proud to have found each other and be working so closely together!

Finally, and more pressingly, I am working with J.V. Torres of The Rise of King Asilas. We’re going to be fusing our universes in a rather fun way. We’re enjoying making our worlds collide quite a bit. I’ve been planning this story for months and needed to find the right podcast to cross over with. I’m incredibly proud to have J.V. be so willing to help me out and let me meddle in his universe a touch. I encourage you to check out his show! It’s about the coming to power of Feudal America! A listen I’ve enjoyed start to present! Again, we’re honored to work with this show.

I’ve also gotten to work with Russell Hutchins on the Artwork for our new Audio Drama. I decided a sketch would be the best way to go for the cover of this upcoming show. Russell is a real hoopy frood from work who doodles on his free time. His work is great, so I thought I’d ask for his help. He was gracious enough to oblige and make this shows art ten times better than I could have hoped for. Soon we’ll be featuring some of his art on its blog for all to see!

This new series will be called Everlasting Beholders. We’ll be throwing it together in a frenzied coffee fueled huff to release alongside Empty Episode 2 on the 21st of January. In the mean time, we’ll be releasing a teaser trailer on the 14th to garner your interest. After that we’ll try to release a new episode every month (or as we feel is appropriate to the story/find ourselves capable of doing). The first episode will also release alongside TRoKA Episode 6 and will cross over in a few places. We’re working hard to make our art styles blend appealingly. We have yet to make it an official rss link, an email address, or even a website yet. For now, keep your ears perked for more details about the show! Like we said, coffee fueled frenzy.

We spent most of 2017 working on Empty. We finally released it in December. Now we’ve got grand plans for 2018. It’s been a wild ride and we’re proud to say we’re finally on our way to making the greatest experience we could possibly bring you. Please, consider listening if you haven’t already. This labor of love has touched the lives of everyone who’s worked on it. We hope it touches yours.
