We're back with the second episode of Welcomed by Design's interview with the Unwell team at the University of Pittsburgh! We hope you enjoy, and we're looking forward to bringing back more of Unwell Season Five in two weeks.

======

On this episode of Welcomed by Design, we listen back to Fall 2022?s Queer Horror Week, coordinated by Pitt?s Horror Studies Working Group. Members of our team got to panel with many cool creatives, including the wonderful, BBC award-winning team of Unwell, to talk about accessibility and identity in the world of audio dramas! With a topic like that, there?s obviously going to be far too much good conversation to have a mere hour of footage. So we?re releasing a two-part special (which, given its patchwork of event audio clips, a lá Frankenstein?s monster, is thematically spooky in structure).

In this part 2, we discuss inclusive world-building, from challenging what gets capital-O Othered and what is normalized, to some of the team?s favorite aspects of the world they?ve created.

Be sure to check out part 1 for even more conversation, which focuses on real-life accessibility and inclusion in their production.

Open episode transcript (which we?ve annotated this episode, in honor of Unwell!)

(An unembedded link to the resource library, which includes transcripts, will be at the bottom of this description for anyone needing to copy and paste the link in a web browser.)

For this week's midseason break, we're sharing an episode from the delightful podcast Welcomed By Design, a show produced by students and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh! We'll have the second part of this conversation later in our break!

So we?re releasing a two-part special (which, given its patchwork of event audio clips, a lá Frankenstein?s monster, is also thematically spooky in structure). In this part 1, we discuss accessible and inclusive production practices, on the ?real life? side of things. We talked about everything from fun/snarky transcript comments to balancing the nature of scaring in horror with care in content warnings.

Be sure to check out part 2 for even more conversation, this time on inclusive fictional practices.

Hi there- Jeffrey here. We're so close to the return of Unwell Season Four- and we're so excited to have the chance to share one more guest episode- Brimstone Valley Mall, written and directed by Kristen DiMercurio. You'll recognize a bunch of Unwell folks from the credits- including Kristen, Regina Renée Russell, Julia Schifini, and myself- I was one of the sound designers for this delightful show. Brimstone Valley Mall is a dark comedy that sends us back to the Malls of the 90s- a deeply nostalgic setting for me- following a group of demons who not only work at the mall, but...play in a band. It's so much fun. Brimstone Valley Mall has a love for its setting that I think Unwell listeners will appreciate- because let me tell you, the malls of the 90s were a unique and occasionally terrifying place. I hope you enjoy!

Learn more and listen to Brimstone Valley Mall here!

For today's episode, we've got something really exciting- two interviews with artists from Unwell, talking about making audio work. These are sourced from John Bartmann?s fantastic podcast ?How I make music?- where John interviews composers and artist who make music for audio fiction.

The first is an interview with longtime HartLife NFP artist Stephen Poon on his work on the Unwell theme. After the break, we?ll also be sharing an interview John recorded with me about composing for installations, and for one of my other podcasts, ?The Museum at tomorrow.?

You can hear more episodes of John?s podcast at HowIMakeMusic.com. You can also get access to livestreams, editing tutorials, and 58 extra episodes through the How I make Music patreon!

You can access a transcript for John's interview with Stephen here, and for John's interview with Jeffrey here.

During our mid-season break, we are sharing some favorite episodes from other shows we love. Today's is Greater Boston. Greater Boston is a full-cast audio drama set in the Boston metro area, blending the real and the unreal, the historical and the fantastical. It all begins with the death of Leon Stamatis, a man so enamored of predictability that the least hint of uncertainty makes life unbearable. But by leaving the world, he has irrevocably changed it. The show is written and produced by Alexander Danner and Jeff Van Dreason.
