Audio Verse Awards

Dear Friends and Fantastic Supporters,

We've been creating fiction podcasts for almost 5 years now, and since 2016 we have been entered into the yearly Audio Verse Awards. There are scant opportunities to gain recognition within our medium so we take each opportunity seriously; each is a possible avenue to expand the reach of our collective efforts and get our cast/collaborators the recognition we know they deserve for their hard work.

This year with more shows, experience, and talent behind us, we won our first Audio Verse Award! Not only that, but our amazingly talent team won 14 awards collectively. This post is to share the great news with you, and also to express how thankful we are for your contribution in making this possible. VAST Horizon, Imperial, and The White Vault: A Musical were only created because of your support...

Some of our cast members (& crew) also won awards for their own projects this year, and we are so proud of these victories as well. :)

The Biggest Surprises:

The White Vault - A Musical won Best Vocal Composition, making it "an award winning musical" - a phrase that none of the cast ever expected to hear when they agreed to sing.

The White Vault: Imperial won multiple awards, including best new production. Considering that this production has extremely limited access (it's a Supporter exclusive creation) and that it was directly competing with new productions that are not only free & publicly released, but widely beloved, this is an astonishing feat. There were many struggles in capturing an authentic feel for 1700's China, but it seems we pulled it off, and it only won because you voted for it. We cannot thank you enough for your support!
