Excuse Us

Synopsis:

*Excuse Us* is a darkly humorous, post-apocalyptic radio play set in the quiet town of Joiceville, where something went wrong at the local diner. The series is told through the perspective of Catherine L. Dee, the only survivor, as she recounts the bizarre and traumatic events leading up to the disaster. Through quirky, fragmented episodes, Catherine unravels her story—introducing listeners to the diner’s eccentric staff and the eerie happenings that took place under the surface of everyday life.
Meanwhile, a shadowy corporation known as Blind Corp. looms over the narrative. Behind the scenes, two operatives from Blind Corp work to piece together the mystery of the zombie apocalypse that tore the town apart, questioning Catherine in an attempt to understand the horror that unfolded.
The series blends cosmic horror, dark comedy, and human drama, as it explores themes of survival, corporate overreach, and the madness beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful town.

Blind Corp Annoucement_001

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 19:00:43 +0000

A Special Announcement from Blind Corp Attention, valued listeners. Congratulations on making it to the end of Excuse Us Season 1. We at Blind Corp are thrilled—and slightly surprised—that you survived this long. But don’t worry. Much like the Hawk Virus, Excuse Us is always evolving. And thanks to our highly dedicated and questionably sane team, Season 2 is already in development. However, a friendly reminder: episodes are never truly final. Much like memory, reality, and legally binding contracts, they are subject to change. You may find that upon revisiting an episode, certain scenes have… shifted. Some lines may appear different. Some entire moments may no longer exist. Were they ever there to begin with? Stop asking. If you find yourself nostalgic for a scene that you swear was there before—one that has since been redacted, erased, or otherwise misplaced in the ever-growing Blind Corp archive—we invite you to visit our Patreon at www.patreon.com/rodpoolart, where all additional content is stored, preserved, and occasionally whispered to in the dead of night. Thank you for your continued loyalty. And remember: Blind Corp is always watching. Even when you forget. Occultis regimus.
