Adventure Awaits!
We’ve been posting bonus segments for our Patrons all summer long that originally played on WERA between episodes of Rogue Tyger.
This is the bonus segment from our 2019 broadcast of Rogue Tyger, which played between part 2 and part 3 of “The End Run.”
In the segment, writer/director Bjorn Munson talks about how the third core system to be settled by humanity, Hraggedor, was not the most hospitable. There’s also a brief mention of wrapping up story threads.
This is the first of a new series of posts we’re doing to share cool resources for the audio fiction community, both for avid listeners as well as creators. Because not only are people doing a lot of cool stuff out there, people are doing cool things that help you make and learn about that cool stuff.
The End seeks to scratch a straightforward itch: where can one binge listen complete audio fiction series? Or at least whole seasons?
Energetic curator Evo Terra releases a new issue weekly and has just gone past the year milestone with no end in sight… and that’s a good thing. You can subscribe to the newsletter or easily check out the archive on the website… and there’s even a companion podcast.
We were very thrilled for Evo to reach out to us about including Rogue Tyger in issue # 52 and we know a lot of you have told us you wait until you have a full season of our shows to listen to you, so if you need something new to listen to, be sure to check out The End.

This one comes from our 2019 broadcast of Rogue Tyger, which played between Part 5 of “Cat and Mouse” and Part 1 of “The End Run.”
In the segment, writer/director Bjorn Munson talks about the origins of the poet Borellio whom Aidan quotes in the last part of “Cat and Mouse” leading to a rare non-cliffhanger ending.
You’ll eventually hear what bits of ancient Earth culture did make “the crossing” as Imperial citizens refer to those ancient times, but part of the world building was establishing artists and writers and poets whose whole life was in that corner of the galaxy.
We’ve been posting bonus segments for our Patrons this summer that originally played on WERA between episodes of Rogue Tyger… and there’s a few more to go.
This segment is from our 2019 broadcast of Rogue Tyger, which played between Part 4 and Part 5 of “Cat and Mouse.”
In this segment, writer/director Bjorn Munson goes into some classic sci-fi influences on the names of the places and things in the Tygerverse, as well as some real history.
Depending on how closely you follow the news, you may know that both the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) are on strike for better pay and working conditions.
For Jabberwocky Audio Theater, you’ve heard members of SAG-AFTRA in just about all of our productions and, if all goes well, you will continue to do so. That’s because SAG-AFTRA is striking with the big studios (represented by an industry group known as AMPTP). For many indie producers who agree to SAG-AFTRA’s terms (the terms SAG-AFTRA would like the big studios to agree to), they can move ahead.
SAG-AFTRA has been offering a series of low-budget agreements to work with indie and student filmmakers for over a decade. In that vein, they’ve also recently created a series of low-budget agreements for podcasts — and the next Jabberwocky production will be under one of those agreements.
We’re hoping for a resolution to the strikes soon.
