Synopsis:

Chain of Being is a mythic science fiction podcast which is a glimpse into the future: where gods control the cosmos and mortals are left to fend for themselves in a vast, indifferent universe. Follow the immortal Adam (of eden fame) as he hunts down an extra-universal threat whilst also confronting his past. Set in an extensive universe that blends religious fantasy elements with space opera science fiction. All lovingly written and sound designed by a student from south london since they were 17 years old, and featuring a range of voice acting talent. https://www.patreon.com/faustiannonsense

3 years of CoB Q+A!

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0100

3 years! that's a lot of years! This time around we have a special minisode of Adam in a very mundane situation, its kind of an experiment but I quite like how it turned out.

Following that we have a Q+A with Lee Tomanelli which is wild and fun and I think it's good.

Thank you so much for listening to CoB and joining me on the journey of making season 1, I really can't thank you enough.

2 years of CoB Q&A!

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 11:00:00 +0100

Hard to believe its been 2 years already, and what have I got to show for it? Not much... I'm joined by Greg Carrobis (Ghosts on a Train, Midsummers Quarantine) and we go through a few questions posed to us by listeners of CoB. We talk about inspirations for the world of CoB, what's next after season 1, if Epicurosa is single and much more!

I must extend a huge thanks to Faustian Nonsense who have kept me going and are essential to keeping CoB around. More importantly to you, the listener, you honestly give me such motivations and it brings me such joy to see people enjoying this weird, nerdy project of mine. Thank you.

Big thanks to everyone who submitted questions, this was really fun, I hope this is as interesting to listen to as it was to do. It's hard to believe I have been doing this podcast for a year now, it almost doesn't feel quite real. But regardless thank you for joining me on this journey, be it from when I started or if you've only just joined, I am greatly appreciative of your presence. Thank you.
