Romance and the moon, the perfect pairing.

We've been seeing some beautiful moons in the last couple of nights, the sort we celebrate in our romantasy podcast "Moonlight and Love Songs, " in which a very rational woman moves in next door to a male witch--and a cute one at that!

A new episode drops today on Dramafy and Apple podcasts!

It's been a moment, but we're very pleased to announce that "Percy & Reggie" is now available for your viewing pleasure on the Fawesome App from Future Today, as well as coming up quickly on Amazon Fire, Roku and elsewhere via OTT Studios!

Here's a jolly nice new review for BRASS from one of our Belgian listeners! (Ah, the discriminating taste of the Continentals...)

Delightful Steampunk Fiction

***** (5 Stars)
Seasons 1 through 4 are one story about the Brasses. I loved it! Season 5 is a stand alone story, also very nice. Season 6 and 7 are shorts and although still very nice, not as gripping as previous seasons....All in all a very good podcast. I hope the story of the Brasses will continue with full story seasons.

Here's an amazing bit of news! On this day 100 years ago,the world's first radio play, Danger by Richard Hughes, was broadcast by the British Broadcasting Company from its studios in London. Happy first century, Audio Drama!

Truly excited to be in pre-production for this short film, shooting end of next month. we're delivering a different sort of future from anything you've seen before.

If you think problems of Christmas being too commercialized and materialistic are new, we've got a story for you. It's William Dean Howell's "Christmas Every Day," his charming fantasy of what happens when one little girl's wish gets granted and everyone has to deal with the consequences. Available now on the BRASS podcast, wherever you listen to them!

22/11/2023

Woot! This Thanksgiving, we are grateful to be celebrating hitting 30,000 downloads on our new podcast platform! Thanks to all of our listeners, and look out this next month for a special re-release of several of our Brass Stacks holiday shows!

Recognize this distinguished man of science? It's Professor Challenger, discover of lost worlds and poisonous comets, and in this picture personated by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in a big fake beard. Challenger is not as well known as Conan Doyle's other creation, Sherlock Holmes, and that's really too bad, because he's at least as much fun. Want to find out how much? Give a listen to "The Disintegrator Machine" just released on our BRASS podcast!

01/11/2023

As we launch into the season of parties and social soirees, what better time to re-release the wonderful short story "When the Door Was Opened," by the Irish author Sarah Grand? A sly fable about the folly of thinking you understand your spouse too well, this is narrated by esteemed Seattle voice actor Larry Albert, best known for playing both the titular detective in "The Adventures of Harry Nile" as well as Dr Watson in Imagination Theater's long-running "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."

25/10/2023

In honor of both the season and our hitting 25,000 new downloads via Realm, here's a wonderfully spooky treat via the BRASS podcast. Our always wonderful Lord Brass, Charles Leggett, reads the M.R.James classic ghost story "Oh Whistle and I'll Come For You My Lad," in which an academic on holiday has the bad luck to find something at an archaeological dig, before something comes to find him.

What's that we've discovered? Why, BRASS has made the Top Ten List for London History at Feedspot! It's awfully nice of them to include us, as "Alternate History" is an unlikely candidate for this slot, but we have included a lot of historical research to give our show an underpinning of reality. Check it out here! https://podcasts.feedspot.com/london_history_podcasts/?feedid=5548832

Take a bow! The re-launched BRASS (now just beginning its 4th Season) has just passed 10,000 listeners on its new home on Megaphone!

We're loving a chance to bring our show to new audiences, who are getting a chance to see just what happens when the plans of Lord Brass and the now-unmasked Crime Minister collide.

Thanks especially to our wonderful casts. From theatre to film to podcast, we've worked with dozens of fantastic actors from across the PNW to tell this story. (Including all of these fabulous actors from our stage show "BRASS: Fatal Footlights" back about 7 years ago....)

19/07/2023

As we close in on our first 10,000 listeners on Realm.fm, we're thrilled to have a chance to relive our favorite moments from Season 3--and the revelation about just who the Crime Minister is at the end of Season Three is a doozy!

That all happens TOMORROW when we drop Episode 30, "Summits and Revelations," available on Realm.fm, Dramafy or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

10/07/2023

Happy 167th Birthday, Nikola Tesla! We're thrilled that our MVP BRASS castmember Tadd Morgan not only agreed, but sort of insisted, on playing the Serbian-American inventor. Tesla not only invented Alternating Current but his discoveries involving radio, robotics, biofeedback and wireless electrical transmissions could have transformed our world if he'd been given proper funding and support.

So what would happen in a world where he did? Find out in Seasons 3 and 4 of BRASS, being released right NOW on Realm.FM and wherever you listen to your podcasts!

20/06/2023

We've got absolutely splendid news! Our award-winning film "Percy & Reggie and the Great Parisian Airship Exposition" is now available for viewing at our Battleground channel at Bingenetworks.TV!

Filmed in Summer 2020 at the height of the pandemic entirely on greenscreen, we've been thrilled to have our film garner awards for among other things our deliberately "lo-fi" effects (Best SFX Award, 2020 Dreammachine Film Festival) and our "Steamcamp" humor.

The good folks at Binge are going to be looking for additional distribution for this Victorian flight of fancy about two upper-class twits whose day trip takes an unexpected turn or two including some science villains. But you can watch it for FREE now at https://www.bingenetworks.tv/channel/battleground-productions-16896

Our first BRASS film "The Lair of the Red Widow" is available for streaming NOW on Binge.TV!

Shot at Seattle's Georgetown Steam Plant as well as the Knights of Pythia Hall in Tacoma, this was our first attempt to bring our actors from audio drama to film.

It wasn't an easy shoot or a comfortable collaboration, but we're still proud of the result--particularly the show-stopping extended fight sequence starring Cyril (Jeremy Adams), choreographed by Tim Ruzicki.
