Rivers of the Mind



Synopsis:

Rivers of the Mind is a psychedelic Urban Fantasy/Superhero audio drama set in the Texas Hill Country. It centers around an underground laboratory concealed underneath a water treatment facility--formerly a part of the MK Ultra program, but today used to test secret technology for space travel. It's first main character, John is a homeless geologist who takes LSD outside of the lab one night and develops the ability to read minds, who is eventually joined by Meagan, a cashier at Walmart who receives "The Gift of Language" from a field of psychedelic mushrooms, and Sapphire, the ghost of a test subject who died in the 1960s. The show also features a "show within a show" following a police officer whose memory was erased by John just as he developed empathic superpowers, and an internet conspiracy theorist trying to help him discover the truth. (S1E2, S1.5E1, S1.5E3, S1.5E5, and S1.5E6, plus all of Season 2.5)

Fri, 10 May 2019 03:50:42 +0000

A little overdue in my book, this is a new version of the first episode. You may or may not like it, and that's fine. It's not replacing the other one. It's much longer, for sure, but this is the take I actually recorded with all the others for Season 1, and I feel better about the acting and now that I've cleaned up the noise, the sound quality. Hope you all enjoy, and stay tuned for Season 2.5 this summer!

Season 1.5: What happened to Officer Phillip after John Wiped His Memory

Fri, 09 Mar 2018 04:00:00 +0000

Hey! Remember that SUPER HILARIOUS TOTALLY CONSEQUENCE FREE INCIDENT where John zanily erased someones memory? Wow! What wonderful comic relief! Too bad it did nothing to actually advance the plot, I mean, I wonder if that officer will ever appear again in the bonus content season to introduce some kind of long multiseason plot arc.

Phillip: Timmy Vilgiate

Grace: Michelle Pearl

Clerk: Aaron Mayfield

Customer: Cameron Mayfield


Season 1.5: Why John Broke Up With Janet

Fri, 16 Feb 2018 03:30:00 +0000

This episode talks about Janet, who first appeared in Southern Hospitality as John's template for acting like a normal person, and then later appeared as a hallucination from the Scopolamine character. Just some good, old fashioned characterization that becomes progressively more important in Seasons 3 and 4.

 

Haley Hunsaker: Janet, Waitress at Larry's Diner
Timmy Vilgiate: John

 


Season 1.5: How John's Face Ended Up At The Center of a Massive Internet Conspiracy Theory

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 03:40:34 +0000

Rivers of the Mind Season 1.5 is like the DVD bonus content where I can include information that doesn't fit in Seasons 1 or 2, but that still might interest people who have enjoyed the series so far. But just to be clear, before we begin, Rivers of the Mind is not meant to promote or encourage knowing the truth behind the deep state's insidious lies, or uncovering said truth in any way, shape, or form. Rivers of the Mind is also not intended to encourage listeners to eat at either Carl's J.r. Or Arby's, and does not mean to suggest that either of these companies are front organizations for the deep state. All events portrayed in this series are strictly fictional, and any resemblance to [interference] is completely coincidental.

This occurs at the same time as the events of Season 1, Episode 1, technically. But it also only takes place after the events of Season 1, Episode 10, for reasons that become apparent in Season 2, Episode 3, unless the powers of deduction lead you to understand this disruption in the space time continuum in Season 2, Episode 1. If you were Dusty, you would know that.

I forget what happened in the last episode. In fact, I don't remember making it, or writing it at all. When I came into the studio, I found that this episode had already been recorded. The entire first season. Funny. I must have done it in my spare time. I had a dream like this a few nights ago.
