- This week, we're handing the mic over for a feed swap with The Madness of Chartrulean — a character-driven sci-fi epic for fans of Dune, Foundation, and Game of Thrones.
A fallen messiah races to stop his own technology from dooming the world he meant to save — while facing alien invaders, political foes, and the collapse of his own mind.
The Jhardeho Order named him messiah. He defected anyway. When Chartrulean chose progress over piety, he split the world in two — and now he's haunted by the cost of that choice, fighting to reconcile with the gods and kings he angered before the madness he created consumes him.
Blending political drama, Shakespearean tragedy, and mythic futurism, The Madness of Chartrulean features a cast of 50+ voice actors from five continents, cinematic Dolby Atmos sound design, and an unflinching portrayal of mental illness — including CPTSD, anxiety, and DID. Written from a woman's perspective, the show is part of a growing wave of creators championing women and neurodivergent voices in sci-fi and fantasy.
Vol. 1 is available now — 13 episodes, 8+ hours of story, plus bonus content. Vol. 2 is actively releasing.

Today’s Featured Show: UN-TITLED
Today, we’re sharing a fellow scripted comedy that is perfect for your post-holiday binge. UN-TITLED is a "Middle Ages midlife crisis" story following Failyn, a squire who is quite literally "too olde" for this.
While Failyn schemes for his long-awaited knighthood, he has to contend with an annoying wunderkind on the rise—the future King Arthur.
The Vibe: A comedic twist on the Sword in the Stone myth. Think the bitterness of Amadeus or Richard III meets the dry humor of The Office and Blackadder.
The Commitment: Season 1 is just 6 episodes plus character shorts (about 3 hours total). It’s the perfect length for a weekend road trip or—if you’re like us—finally packing up those holiday decorations.
Support the Show: The UN-TITLED team is gearing up for Season 2 and looking to grow their community! If you enjoy this episode:

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. - While we work hard on Season Two of Alpha 8 (coming early next year!), we wanted to share something special with you. Today’s episode features a feed drop from a sci-fi audio drama we think Alpha 8 fans will love — Give Me Away, created by acclaimed writer Mac Rogers (The Message, LifeAfter, Steal the Stars).
About the Episode
In Give Me Away, a mysterious UAP crash-lands on Earth, carrying extraterrestrials desperate to escape their own trauma. The only way for them to survive? Human volunteers who agree to share their minds. If Alpha 8 had a cousin, this might be it — think Venom meets the heartfelt comedy of All of Me, all set within a grounded, contemporary world. Now is the perfect moment to dive in: Seasons 1 and 2 are available to binge, and Season 3 is on the way. In this drop, we’re sharing Episode 5 from Season 1.
A Note From Stephanie
Season Two of Alpha 8 is underway, and your continued support truly fuels the journey. Keep sharing, liking, and spreading the word. Thank you for being part of this adventure. ✨
