Hi! I’m Eira, the voice of Sir and the Apprentice, and also the person who writes this show, sound designs it, and puts it out into the world. There’s no new episode of the show this week because I’ve been unwell and haven’t been able to finish it, so instead, you’ll be hearing this intermission, which features the Apprentice reading a Shakespeare monologue. I hope you enjoy it. All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin’d, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Hey folks! So remember how I said at the end of the Q&A that Remnants would be coming out 25th August unless something went wrong? I think I might have jinxed myself by saying that out loud, because something did go wrong! But that’s okay. Release is being pushed back until 6th of October which is just six weeks after the original planned release date. The shape of this season is a liiiiiittle bit different to season one! There will be thirty episodes of the show, and they’ll be releasing in ten episode blocks, with three week gaps in between each block. Those gaps will be filled with more Real Remnants! Hopefully this will be fun. But! In order to make Season Two of Remnants happen, I need your help! I’ve just COMPLETELY overhauled my Patreon to make it better and more sustainable. There’s a bunch of new offerings over there, and you can still access all the Creator’s Notes for Season One, PLUS ad-free access to the all thirty episodes of S1. For Season Two, you’ll be able to get Early Access to episodes as they release, INCLUDING access to Remnants S2’s first episode a full ten days before everyone else. S2 will be getting Creator’s Notes just like S1, and there will be bonus remnants you can read which expand the world of the show. Patreon supporters also get thanks in the credits of my Season Finales. But something cool for everyone who signs up before Remnants S2 starts airing in October at Mega Slothling Tier or higher will get their name listed on the Hanging Sloth Website forEVER. What’s more; if you sign up at Ginormous Slothling Tier and choose an annual subscription, rather than a monthly one, you’ll get your name listed as a Patreon Producer on an episode of Remnants S2! I’ve put more information about the Patreon overhaul over on my Patreon, which I’ve linked in the description below! In a perfect world, I’d be able to make my work without financial support, but as a working class creator who makes art as a full time job, this just isn’t possible. I’m a one man team, and I absolutely love making my work happen. But I really can’t do it without your support. If you can’t support me on Patreon right now, don’t’ worry, there are other things you can do to help the show. You can talk about it on social media; make fan art; share it with your friends; and leave ratings and reviews wherever you’re listening right now. I’m really looking forward to bringing season two of Remnants to you later this year, and I really hope you’ll consider supporting me on Patreon. I’ll speak to you again soon. Until then, buh bye!

This was very fun to put together, which I'm sure you'll be able to tell the amount of times I just start laughing in this recording.

This time, we look at medical innovation in the context of war (and beyond!) and how observation led to the development of a treatment for cancer from a chemical weapon. Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gHlENF6TdVCouRCb4ViW2eX97TZonNOfZlJzlX-Le2E/edit?usp=sharing For Early Access to the next part of Real Remnants and Remnants' second season when it starts airing, support me on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hangingslothstudios A note: this episode mentions the development of the polio vaccine. This vaccine's development is wacky and absolutely wild in its own right, and many of the methods used, particularly early in the process, were completely bonkers and would not hold up to modern scrutiny; indeed many were criticised even at the time. The point is to highlight a case where people were not non-consensually used to innovate medically, NOT to highlight an example of a perfect developmental process. If I can find an excuse to talk about the development of the polio vaccine in more depth at some point, I absolutely will because it is completely wild.

Here's the first 'Real Remnant', where I take you through some of the research I did for Remnants, topic by topic.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I hope you’re enjoying the show. I'm Eira, creator of the show, and voice of the Apprentice and Sir! Today, supporters on Patreon got some Bonus Content for the show which is exclusive to my supporters over there! If you’re interested in getting more insight into the show, I also make a set of Creator’s Notes which comes out every five episodes, and goes into detail about my writing and character decisions. I’m an indie creator and all of my income is from my creative work, so I really depend on my audience to make ends meet. I love that this is my job and I’d like to keep doing it, but to do that, I need your help!Membership starts from just £2, and you can even get discounts if you decide to choose an annual membership where you pay for 12 months in advance. If you’re not in a position to support the show financially, don’t worry! There’s stuff you can do to support the show totally for free. Listening to episodes helps me earn ad revenue, and though it amounts to a tiny amount of money, it still helps! You can also share the show with your friends and talk about it on social media. Posting your fan art and head-canons isn’t just good fun, it lets me know my work is resonating with you, and you never know; maybe your fanfic is the thing which gets someone else interested in the show you love! The best absolutely free thing you can do is to rate and review the show. You might be able to do that wherever you’re listening right now, but you can also leave reviews on sites like Podchaser and Listen Notes. I’ve put all the links and the good stuff in the notes for this episode! (see above) Thanks so much for listening, and with that, here is a supercut of… hmm? What was that? (Need help?

Hello, I’m Eira, creator of Spirit Box Radio, Not Quite Dead and Clockwork Bird. This July I’m releasing a brand new show, Remnants, a gothic fantasy thriller. The show follows the new Apprentice at the First and Last Place as he sorts through objects who hold the remnants of their previous owners within them. His job is to decide which of them is re-shelved, and which is discarded, but he has no criteria to work with and no idea what the consequences of his decisions will be. As the story goes on, the Apprentice begins to wonder why he, of everyone, was chosen for this task, and whether his near-omniscient boss, known only as ‘sir’, has chosen now to train an assistant. Remnants has a new story to muse over every week, and a mystery at its core which will have you pinning red string to cork boards as you try to solve it. Think The Talented Mr Ripley meets The Good Place and The Sandman. Remnants, an audio drama will start airing wherever you listen to podcasts from 15th July 2024.
