    Critical Research :: Season 1 Recap
    Dec 1 2016

    By listening to this recap you can entirely skip Critical Research Season 1.
    We did this because we realized the our first creation was a bit rough compared to our later works and didn't want anyone to miss Season 2.


    We’ve assembled a recap of Critical Research‘s first season to help prepare you for the series’ return. Here you’ll find all the need-to-know information pertaining to the present fates of Dr. Kovski and his team.

    TftT: Entry 2-00: A Preview of Things to Come
    May 1 2017

    A quick note to our Patrons: We have been working pretty much non-stop since the start of April. We attended three conventions, hosted open auditions, vetted through them cast 50+ roles and personally replied to each person, we hosted panels, and set the groundwork for our next four seasons. We appreciate your patience as we take a semi-break this week and release this minisode.


    Thank you to all of our valued Citizen listeners for tuning in this week to Liberty: Tales from the Tower. We have no shortage of stories to share with you, but due to an illness among our team, we are forced to delay our regularly scheduled premiere of our first by two weeks. In the meantime, here's Aurelia, who has all the lifetime news you need to know…
