🎃 Halloween Special: Episode 5 Is Live

It’s my favourite time of year. The leaves are crunchy, the air smells like bonfires and sugar, and for one night only, a giant panda, a symphora-plated space adventurer, and a robot can blend right in. Mostly.

Welcome to our Halloween special.

The Virtual version of me is reluctantly dragged trick-or-treating through suburban Carlisle by his motley crew: Remus, McWordy, and Lady Deadheart. By the end of the night, everyone staggers home through the autumn leaves, I reach peak stress levels, Remus is bouncing on sugar and alcohol, and Deadheart just being Deadheart.

This episode’s original AI song is “The Void Howler.”

P.S. While tonight seemed as harmless as a daytime soap, Orvak Trenholme’s closest advisor—a proper nasty bit of work—is more than halfway to Earth. When he arrives, it won’t be jolly hockey sticks and tiffin.

🎧 Episode 5: Behind the Scenes

Just spent 27 hours straight making the above fueled by coffee, energy drinks, and questionable life choices. Not a workflow I recommend.
Updated all the cover art too though they make some time to update on some services that may never happen.

They say it takes till Ep10 to hit your stride. I confess I’d do a lot differently. Even with AI in the mix, I write every script in Word, workshop it to death, build the audio in Logic Pro, slice it all manually. Sure, I may not sing and act but it’s Still all hands-on. Still chaos and defiantly not as easy as people in the media would have you believe.

I’ve been waiting since 1993 to turn thought bubbles into finished pieces. It doesn’t always calm my OCD, but it’s getting there. If you’re new, start at Ep4 https://rss.com/podcasts/aiwarpanda-pawd-cast/2265036/ and work backward. Earlier ones have hidden gems, but they’re rougher.

Right now, I’m fleshing out the characters before the real compression begins. Something movies never get time to do.
Honestly? The Podcast is my favourite creation in 59 year even if the stress sometimes eats me alive.

Thanks to everyone helping spread the word ❤️

This is a niche podcast, and finding its audience won’t be quick—but every share, listen, and comment helps more than you know.
I’m building something weird, layered, and personal. It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you… welcome, Warper, to the Deadheart Realm.

This site is my signal flare into the void: blog posts, podcast episodes, and glimpses into the lore we’re still unearthing. If you like your sci-fi with a side of absurdity, philosophy, and unexpected laughter — you’ve just stumbled into the right corner of the web.
