This episode introduces the upcoming queer steampunk audio drama, The Mechadova Engine.
Today we're pleased to tell you about a show we're so excited for: The Mechadova Engine! This brand new show released just two days ago and you can find out more and support them on Kickstarter now! Transcript --- The Mechadova Engine is an upcoming 15-episode queer steampunk audio drama. The story follows Log, who has spent their entire life, as far as they can remember, alone inside a single library train carriage in the sky. Their only knowledge of the outside world is limited to books from a long time ago on earth. Log has never thought to question their existence or the world outside, until one day their carriage stops. Here, they meet Tinker, a member of a resistance group, who turns their world upside down. It's a story about meaningless structures, the power of community, and how knowledge is preserved and retold.
