WFO Presents - Give Me Away!
Hey everyone. My name is Tina, I’m one of the producers here on Waiting for October, and I wanted to talk to you today about another show that we have been listening to and we love, and we wanted to share it with you. This one’s kind of interesting, because– I know that, like what we do in the audio drama community is –we share each other’s shows. Uh, “Every audio drama is like a gateway drug,” right? You listen to one and then you track your favorite voice actors down, or you hear an ad and you go listen to it. But I am so bad about– I will not listen to a show if I don’t know what it’s about. And sometimes, even if I do, my brain goes “Nope. Not today!”
But for whatever reason, I decided to “yolo” this one, like– The show is called, Give Me Away, right? And I’d heard people talk about it, I knew people who had listened to it, had worked on the show. And I’m still like, “That’s nice, and that exists.” But eventually [pause] it became a little bit of –the show is written by Mac Rogers, right? And I had listened to The Message. I had listened to Life After. (We don’t need to talk about how long ago that was, because I didn’t realize it until I started recording this. And boy, does that make me a little sad.) But, um, anyway, like there was that faith in the creator, so I was like, “Hmm, okay, let’s try it. I’m still not real clear about what this is about, but we’re gonna try it.” And I did, and it was [an] immediate like, “Oh, good. It’s a married couple fighting, my favorite genre ever,” [pauses in divorcee] but I stuck with it, and I’m so glad that I did, because they’re fighting and it gets awkward, and it is immediately apparent that there is a Big Event that happens, something happened to do with aliens. And you’re like, “Wait what? I thought we were just having a domestic dispute?? And like, the Give Me Away part– that makes sense!!” [because marriage context] And no, no, it turns out that’s not what the show is about at all.
