The sound design for our next episode is taking a LONG time. It's going to be around 30 minutes total and each five minutes worth of music and sound effects takes a full day to complete. I wish I could work faster, but you can't simply sh*t these things out. We try to get every millisecond just right because we want people to enjoy listening to our episodes over and over, like the classic comedy albums we grew up with.

To hold you over, here's the first scene of "Asteroid Arnie and the Mushiblooms."

You're going to love this one, I promise.

If you can find it in your heart to support us in some way, we'd be forever grateful.

Please tell friends, family, co-workers, Uber drivers, random strangers in the supermarket, etc. that you enjoy listening to our stories as much as enjoy making them. This isn't the kind of podcast people are searching for. Nobody's Googling "AI-written stories read by humans podcast."

We also have a Patron and Ko-Fi:

It's for both Uncanny Japan and Uncanny Robot listeners. I share a lot of behind the scenes stuff because I love talking shop. Remember the DVDs that had a commentary track? That used to be my favorite part of renting a movie.

So hold on—Asteroid Arnie, Moomaroof and the full cast of Mushiblooms are coming soon. It's going to be a really fun ride!
