Presenting The Mechadova Engine, a queer streampunk audio drama following Log, an excitable and curious inhabitant of a lonely library who ends up on the adventure of a lifetime around a world entirely confined to steam trains in the sky. The creator, Lumi Oakes, is currently in the middle of funding the show! Please consider supporting their Kickstarter! Trailer Transcript The Mechadova Engine is an upcoming 15-episode queer steampunk audio drama. The story follows Log, who has spent their entire life, as far as they can remember, alone inside a single library train carriage in the sky. Their only knowledge of the outside world is limited to books from a long time ago on earth. Log has never thought to question their existence or the world outside, until one day their carriage stops. Here, they meet Tinker, a member of a resistance group, who turns their world upside down. It's a story about meaningless structures, the power of community, and how knowledge is preserved and retold. Find out more at mechadovapod.com!
