Monstrous Productions - audio fiction for the strange at heart

Welcome to the Tumblr home of Monstrous Productions, an audio fiction production team based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

We have two shows under our belt so far - the now complete Monstrous Agonies and all new Travelling Light.

Monstrous Agonies captured the weekly advice segment of the UK's only dedicated radio service for people of the night and members of the creature community. Over 100+ episodes, it answered questions and offered advice on everything from werewolf boyfriends in the doghouse to fitting in as the new ghoul at work. You can find a full, searchable database of letters, tagged with relevant keywords, on our website.

Travelling Light is our current show, launched in November 2023. It's an epistolary science fantasy that follows the Traveller as they journey through the galaxy, writing letters home and gathering stories for the community archives.

With audience submissions and choose-your-own-adventure decision making, listeners are able to shape the Traveller's story and the world in which it unfolds. Subscribe now on your podcatcher of choice for new episodes every Friday!

This week’s entry was based on a submission by Naomi and illustrated by our gorgeous artist and co-creator, Matt McDyre @diabeticspoon92 💕 If you want to see your own ideas brought to life in the show, send us your suggestions and archive entries via email, social media, or by the website!

This episode includes an audience decision. Should the Traveller and Scarry have sex? That’s right; Trav’s sex life is in your hands 🍆 This decision will, of course, effect the relationship between Scarry and the Traveller, and will also prompt reactions from the rest of the crew and other characters. As you might expect! 😅

Cast your vote on our Ko-Fi page! Voting closes at 12 noon UK time on Tuesday 13th and the result will be revealed – fittingly enough – in Episode 69 🗳️💕

Everyone who supports us on Ko-Fi also receives an invitation to our Discord server, annotated scripts and weekly blogs. Members of our highest tier even get their own personal alien designed for them by Matt! 👽

Finally, thanks so much for your patience as we got this episode to you! Between the end of year holidays and computer issues, it’s been a long time coming, but hopefully you’ll agree it was worth the wait!

As always, if you love the show, please share it! Word of mouth is the only way we advertise, so tell a friend, leave a review, or make a post on social media to help spread the word.
