11.27.24 John Busser is an incredible writer and as you should come to expect Taylor Made delivers in all of the right ways. Unexpected twists and turns, stakes that increase with each decision the parents take. The authenticity in the voices John has created are remarkably clear and relatable. This show deserves a broader audience and should be applauded. Fantastic show from beginning to end as Busser explores the world of what might become. Highly recommend.

Julie Brandon's mastery is capturing little things in this mystery that are just slight off center. Ultimately though, the twists, the power play, stakes, it's all here in the sci-fi thriller. This show will have you asking who's lucky day is it? Highly recommend.

Wow! Powerful! Jenna Jane puts the world on notice about authenticity in this futuristic short story. Giving compelling reasons to both sides of the coin and then hitting you with a twist that you just don’t see coming. Powerful.

Scary that this could be our future soon. Amazing that Jenna showed us both sides of equation and still lets the audience decide without consequence. It’s a must see.

Randy has written a brilliant near-future short play. It starts off with a day-in-the-life feel that starts builds into the mystery of this piece.

Some twists are sudden, some are a slow build. Randy gets it spot on and the audience will have a true ah-ha moment near the end of this show.

Incredibly well crafted. Randy pulls of this fantastic show with believable characters, and something highly plausible and relatable.

Scott shows us the potential future of our world through the lens of love, despite the tendency to want to lean towards hate and anger, the message I found in this show is that love will find a way. But in the ending, it's also a message that hate will never go away.

Sickles shows us a world that already exists in some parts of our world and even our country through this wonderfully told story, where you must hide who you are, and have to be careful who knows the real you. Highly recommend.

Scott Sickles creates a suspense filled, dark comedy, about the last human alive. Or is Dale? You'll have to read this yourself. But the dialogue between the A.I. voice of the station and Dale who has been revived from cryostasis to experience the last moments of human existence, does not disappoint. But what's this? Surprise there's a twist and it's not the one you'd expect. Highly recommend this show.

Jacquie checks all of the boxes in this two-hander rife with suspense. Odd location (Funeral Parlor), unique character situation (strangers, apocalypse happening outside), tension (either could be infected by whatever it is). Jacquie leaves so much open to interpretation, but not the fear, and not the reality of Arlo and Zoe that builds tension as the show grows. Love this show! Highly recommend.

This is such a great show and I can't wait to produce this as part of The Future Audio Fiction Podcast. Erin has built this simple world, where fear of the unknown and faith in a friend battle with each other until the end. It's an awesome show by an awesome writer. Highly recommend!

YES!!! Cole Dzubak has written a hilarious show about a "superior" intelligent alien culture that is debating about whether or not to set-up Earth on a better technological path or not. I think I'd be friends with Keith. Just saying. This show will have ooohing and awwwing at Cole's world build and then subsequent awe and indictment of Earth's capabilities, but then he does the best thing imaginable. Unleashes Keith. Highly recommend!

Zombies! Who doesn't love Zombies. I love Zombies and this Zombedy (Zombie Comedy), Cole gives the Zombies some depth, makes them almost human(ish), and then does what everyone should do in a Zombie story. I'll let you read to find out. I definitely recommend this show and we are excited to produce it at BAE!
