06:32|Here's the first 'Real Remnant', where I take you through some of the research I did for Remnants, topic by topic. These aren't deep dives; they're just a little glimpse into some of the subjects the show explores. For more info, I've put together a short list of introductory sources which might be a good starting point if you do want to find out more.Transcript here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKYhPwbll20YTF7zlIlSSfJeoYUL8CE3yihvzZpC3U4/edit?usp=sharingLeave a review on Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/remnants-an-audio-drama-5722315Leave a review on ListenNotes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/remnants-an-audio-drama-eira-major-qxCsBXeOtzK/Follow the show on Tumblr: https://remnantspod.tumblr.com/Follow Eira on Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/hangingsloths.bsky.socialImperial War Museum's Online Blitz Exhibit: https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-blitz-around-britain National Archives Blog Post about the Blitz in London: https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/beginning-london-blitz/ First-hand WW2 experiences in video: https://www.youtube.com/@ww2iwasthere653 A video playlist exploring London's history: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLviHazTWiT07F9pqANdH82x0-bZA6LrobNot Quite Dead: Crowdfunding Vampires for Season Four
00:50|Support Not Quite Dead!Hi, it’s Eira, creator of Remnants! One of my other shows, Not Quite Dead, launched its crowd-funder for S4 today. It’s a gory horror romance about vampires, and it’s extremely gay. If you enjoy the emotional rollercoasters of Remnants and you’d like more of that but with vampires who can’t keep their hands or their teeth out of one another, Not Quite Dead will definitely satisfy your appetites. I’m really excited about this next season of the show and it’d be cool if you’d like to help me make it happen by going to tiny.cc/nqd4. The £15 tier will tell you if you live or die following an encounter with a vampire, and grant you a special role in the Hanging Sloth discord server, and higher tiers have tons of fun stuff like a digital collection of in-world notes written by the main character, Alfie, and opportunities to name a vampire in the show. You can find out more at tiny.cc/nqd4! That’s t-i-n-y dot c-c forward slash n-q-d and the number 4.30. 30. Jar of Buttons
