Description

Clinical Space is an audio fiction podcast about the struggles, joys, and daily life of Aja Graves, the counseling officer aboard an exploratory Astro Navy starship. It takes a character-focused approach to familiar themes and plot elements from science fiction. It is meant to have a cozy and relatable tone, while occasionally brushing against real and serious topics.

Tal's description: Sidequesting is about Rion, a budding adventurer who’s willing to help out just about anyone, as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard everyone keeps talking about. Each episode follows a new sidequest of Rion’s as they travel from town to town, meeting new people and doing new things. It pulls from classic tropes across fantasy stories, but subverts them. It’s a fun, light-hearted, and exciting adventure.You can listen to episodes of Sidequesting in any order. This is episode 11, Honor Among Thieves, where Rion gets a crash course in heisting.You can listen to Sidequesting on your favorite podcast app, or read the transcripts at sidequestingpod.com.Haven's note: Sidequesting is cute, it's queer, it's wholesome and often heartwarming. I think Dr. Graves would recommend it as a de-stresser, and I think if you like Clinical Space, you'll like Sidequesting too.The clip at the end of each episode this month is to promote TAFCon (The Audio Fiction Convention), which is currently in the crowdfunding phase and will (if funded) take place in my home state of Colorado next year!
