Monkeyman Productions has been ‘Waiting For October’

Monkeyman Productions has announced the release date for their new audio drama project, Waiting For October. The series will launch with a Prologue episode on Thursday, October 31st – Halloween; and then continue with Season 1, Episode 1 on Sunday, November 3rd. The season will continue every other Sunday from that date.

Waiting For October is a queer supernatural fiction podcast from the producers of the award-winning series, Moonbase Theta, Out. The story is set in the world of October - a place of monsters, a place of fiction, a place of others born from the need of our stories. It’s a world that is wild and transformative – where gill folks live in the lakes and were-creatures run through the city streets, while kaiju roar beyond the mountains and the Moon always fills the midnight sky. The first season centers around Karo, who came from the monster world to live in ours and fell in love with a human, Yvonne. Now they are both crossing over to adventure in October together; to uncover Karo’s past, and to discover what that means to their future.

Moonbase Theta, Out was a Webby Awards honoree, an official selection for multiple Web Fests as well as Jury Award-winner in Miami in 2022, and has been downloaded over a million times all over the world. Both MTO and Waiting For October are supported by the Fable and Folly advertising network.

The new series launch will include special posts and celebrations across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other social media, and online through the Monkeyman Discord server.

Monkeyman Productions is committed to telling stories featuring queer characters, ethnically diverse characters, disabled and neurodivergent characters, and those from other marginalized groups in strong, positive, enduring roles. Waiting For October features queer and nonbinary characters from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

Episodes of Waiting For October will be found on all major podcast apps, as well as on the company website at https://monkeymanproductions.com/waiting-for-october/
