Episode One of the 12-episode, Metra: A Climate Revolution with Songs, available wherever you get your podcasts.
Metra is an original musical fiction podcast about how we change the world. The show weaves myth, magic, and music to tell a story about the power of collective action—and about all we have that’s still worth saving. Featuring a Broadway cast including Tony nominee Jeannette Bayardelle, Fred Inkley, Cherrye J. Davis, Corinna Schulenburg, and many more.
Written and created by The Hartfords.
The year is 2043. The world is hot, water is scarce, the weather is unpredictable…and the fossil fuel industry continues to thrive. The wealthy are comfortable in their air-purified, cooled, humidified, superbly hydrated Bubble cities. But in a roadside bar on the Outside, an unlikely group of revolutionaries is about to demand a new story.

A multimedia travelogue where Blake Pfeil recounts experiences exploring abandoned spaces across the United States and reimagines them through multimodal storytelling.
The cornerstone piece of the project is abandoned: The All-American Ruins Podcast, an award-winning audio series which guides listeners through immersive sonic fantasies, recreating experiences exploring abandoned spaces across the United States and around the world. Along the way, the show asks critical questions about American history and culture, community, capitalism and economics, the environment, and mental health while encouraging folks to activate their imaginations as a tool for healing.
The show was recently featured as an Official Select at On Air Fest in Los Angeles, California. The finale for season two is the most personal journal yet. In the episode, which takes place at an abandoned brewery in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Blake reflects on his journey to sobriety, and how his spiritual connection to abandoned places pulled him through the darkest time in his life

Radio Limbo returns to St Leonards for another guided audio-trip — an unusual quest through original music, collage, soundscapes, and disembodied voices. The show celebrates radio as a shape-shifting portal to other worlds, a wilderness of its own, and its unique qualities of companionship. Join Pete for this curation and performance of surreal scenes and sonic experiments, using local intrigue and lost histories as the jumping-off point.
Pete Hazell is a music and audio artist based in Bristol. His various projects fall under the ‘Limbo’ umbrella, known for their signature blend of curious music, sound design, storytelling, and collage. His cassette label Limbo Tapes focuses on releasing music, monthly residency on Bristol’s Noods Radio is both a mix of new , and in 2024, Pete self-produced and released the audio series Limbo Calling as a podcast, expanding the Limbo universe through character, voice work, and surreal audio fiction.
His latest focus is performance — bringing Limbo sonics to a live audience.

This piece was originally made for a sound event that asked producers to envision what it might feel like to lose our favorite places in Los Angeles. It's a work of speculative fiction about a real place, and it's inspired by recent infrastructure failures and climate-based disasters in Los Angeles.

Many Moons Ago is an audio piece that reflects on oral storytelling traditions using a family weredonkey story as a starting point. The story, told many times, was transformed along the way, shapeshifting according to each narrator’s will.
In this piece, the artist weaves the voices of her family members with her own, materialising it into an intergenerational narrative. A new collaborative version of the story, containing pieces of each narrators perspective, is created. Not in order to be a definitive version, but to inspire and evoque the fluidity and magic of oral storytelling.

This XMTR Radio Hour features Tom’s House an audio drama created by British born - Amsterdam based artist Jacob Dwyer. After a short interview with Jacob, we enter Tom’s House with the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.

This was made as a promotional micro-drama for the album "Walk With The Militia" by Damos Room (Limbo Tapes 2026).
Inspired by the artist's world-building lore about a Horse Militia, and the title of the last track "Widows" I made this for their show on Radio Al Hara in celebration of the release.
It features the cloned voices of David McCallum, Georgia Ellis, William Conrad and Dick Bentley. In the debate about voice cloning technologies, I offer this in memory and admiration of those actors no longer with us, and the era of audio that they starred in.
