Feed Drop: Unwell, a Midwestern Gothic Mystery
Mon, 06 Oct 2025 07:10:00 -0000
Hi there! Producer Jeffrey here. We’re really excited to share an episode from the show we made directly after Our Fair City- Unwell, a Midwestern Gothic Mystery. It’s a very different show- it’s a gothic story set in rural Ohio, centering around a smaller cast of characters- but we think if you like Our Fair City, you’ll really love Unwell. You’ll also hear a bunch of familiar voices and hear the work of some of your favorite folks who worked on Our Fair City, along with some brand new folks!
Unwell is also a complete show- you can head over to that feed and hear five complete seasons of the show.
Thanks so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy!

Hello! Producer Jeffrey here. This week, we’re really excited to share an episode of one of the shows our team is currently making- World Gone Wrong, a fictional chat show about friendship at the end of the world. World Gone Wrong follows two best friends as they unpack all of the bizarre supernatural stuff that plagues them- and while the format is very different from Our Fair City, I think you’ll find a lot of the tone and humor to be very similar.
You can find World Gone Wrong wherever you listen to podcasts- we hope you enjoy it!

What a world, huh?
A transcript for this episode can be found here.

Treading where no sane Policy should tred, he risks everything for the good of the Company. Think on his sacrifices, Loyal Policies, and consider: what have I given up for my Company today?

As the Stormhawk’s survivors explore the underground caverns that are the ruins of Old Hartford, new questions arise: will the wolves find them in this deep cave? Can Humanity survive without the Company? Just what is “Campbell’s,” and could it possibly be as tasty as good old HartLife Algae?

Hello Listener. This is Producer Jeffrey. I have an important announcement for you - the person listening to Our Fair City right now in August 2024. You might be wondering - where did Our Fair City go?
We are going to try an experiment - really doing science, you could say! We’re going to put the show in reruns. Our Fair City was originally ran 8 seasons from 2009-2018. And we think the show is still relevant to our world right now. So starting in September, we’ll be rereleasing the show.
You can listen to season 1 right now. It is an hour long single release that gets you right into the complex world of HartLife.
Starting in September on this feed, we are going to release season 2 rapidly in a 30-day period. It’s going to be almost daily. And then starting in October, we’ll be releasing weekly.
So if you think it would be fun to be part of listening to the show along with lots of other people, please join us! Tell your friends! We think it will be a fun journey to take together.
Meanwhile - For anyone who gets into the show and *just can’t wait* for weekly releases. We will have all 8 seasons available, ad free, as part of our membership. F
That membership is $5/month and gets you access to all of Our Fair City and also ad free feeds of all our other shows. We’ll also be releasing a lot of Our Fair City bonus content there - things like blooper reels and behind the scenes conversations from when we made the show years ago.
More info about becoming a member can be found at AudaciousMachineCreative.com
Thank you for listening! We are excited to share Our Fair City with you, so thank you for your patience while we get all the pieces lined up.
And as always - we will see you in the tunnels.
