The 2019 Pendy Awards are open for nominations for the next two weeks, immediately followed by final voting! Be sure to support all Pendulums whose work you loved this year! Another new assistant director enters the fold, and our executive producers appeared on the Slice of Sci-fi podcast to talk about Pendant (and their new comic book). We've got exclulsive preview clips of The Pendant Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida" act I part I and "Mage and Machine" episode 2, as well as news about a special mid-hiatus "Kingery" surprise, and Jordan and Landon Beall discuss keeping it real, green, and juicy sounds! EXCLUSIVE: Susan has an opinion!

Apple Podcasts/iTunes finally implemented the new fiction categories, and then made top lists, and we've got eight shows in the top sixty in sci-fi! So that's cool. "Mage & Machine" keeps on truckin' through production, and should be hitting your eardrums this fall! And if all that wasn't enough, our 15th anniversary zipped on by, and we somehow managed to do a little something for it! We're as surprised as you, honestly. "Dreamnasium" has new episodes every Monday this month, and then the first season concludes, so get it while it's hot! We've got a preview trailer for "The Kingery" 10x07 (midseason finale!) and a preview of The Pendant Shakespeare's complete "King John", and Jordan and Darian Lindle discuss mother goddesses, being a playwright, and the essence of sci-fi!

Our mystery new show we've been working on for a year is revealed, and you're going to #EnterDreamnasium TOMORROW, and we've got all the details! We're also going to have a Dreamnasium panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and our executive producers will be signing exclusive issue 1 variants of their new cyberpunk comic at the con, so drop by and say hello! Mage and Machine has a new logo, we've got preview trailers for Dreamnasium and The Kingery episode 10x05, and Jordan and Christopher Gilstrap discuss modifying Shakespeare, dark lords, and poop jokes! This is some gold-pressed latinum news.

One of our upcoming new shows has been announced, and we want YOU to be part of it! MAGE AND MACHINE is a brand-new audio drama (with an all-women creative team) set in the country of Hallamere, where powerful magic and high-tech science live side by side ... and not always in harmony. The first casting call is up now, and YOU can be the eponymous Mage! Or the eponymous Machine! Or the non-eponymous villain or non-eponymous supporting roles! What we're saying is that you should audition, and that we really like saying "eponymous." As if that weren't enough, our OTHER new show is completely finished and sits in the starting gate, ready to go! We've got preview trailers for "The Kingery" episode 10x03, and "Richard II" act IV in "The Pendant Shakespeare", and Jordan and Adam Blanford discuss breweries, accents and bum urine!

What's news this week? A bunch of stuff, which we're now going to tell you about, as that's generally what these preview blurbs are for! There are some behind the scenes personnel changes, as well as updates to the wiki and the awards section on our website. We also discuss the brouhaha re: the Parsec Awards, and holy crap, we're on Spotify! Do a little dance! Are you dancing? You'd better be. We've got preview trailers for "The Kingery" episode 10x01 and The Pendant Shakespeare's "Richard II" act II part 2, and Jordan and James Rossi discuss car repairs, 534 wiki pages, and how information is cool. Just so, so cool.

The 2018 Pendy Awards are soon open for nominations! So you can nominate. And then vote. Which is a thing you WILL do... particularly if you're a citizen of the United States on Tuesday. Understand? Vote! "Seminar" and "Active Radioactive Radio" are finalists in the 2018 Parsec Awards, and one upcoming new show has a first season outline and another is already into casting! We've got a preview trailer for the complete "As You Like It" in "The Pendant Shakespeare", and Jordan and Vincent Morrison discuss feedback, running, and being the King of Discord!

It's TWIP 100! And if you thought we had something special planned, wow, you really do not know us at all. New pilot scripts have been read, we've got a modest bunch of "Active Radioactive Radio" news, and... web stats!? Yes, that's right, WEB STATS. It's only been.... three years? Yikes. But hey, it's not like YOU remembered either! We've got an exclusive preview clip of "Active Radioactive Radio" webseries episode 2, as well as preview trailers for "The Kingery" episode 9x12 and "The Pendant Shakespeare's" Sonnets episode 13! And Jeffrey and Susan Bridges answer hard-hitting interview questions... over and over again. It's the most un-spectacular 100th episode spectacular you'll ever hear!

Planning has begun for season TEN of "The Kingery", and who ever thought we'd see that sentence? The "Active Radioactive Radio" webseries ep 2 director's cut audio mix is almost complete, as is the rough cut of ep 3! "Seminar" gets a new assistant director, a delayed commentary, and one of its past shorts is becoming a comic! Also a tease about... the airport song? Yeah, that. We've got preview trailers for "The Kingery" episode 9x10 and "King John" act IV in "The Pendant Shakespeare", and Jordan and Landon Beall discuss nimble knaves, getting it from three angles, and water gun walla. First you listen, then you're one of us!

Bots hacked the Pendant site! We wish that was a joke, but alas. The good news is it's mostly cleaned up, except for the FAQ and Coming Soon pages, which we're working on. So don't go to those pages until further notice! The rest of the site and the podcast/iTunes feeds are all unaffected and perfectly safe. In happier news, footage is rolling in for "Active Radioactive Radio" webseries episodes 2 and 3, and yet more progress was made on a new upcoming show! Just what is that show, anyway? And how much progress can we make on it before we tell you what it is? Only time will tell! We've got preview trailers for "The Kingery" episode 9x08, and "The Pendant Shakespeare's King John" act III part 1, and Jordan and Russell Gold discuss usenet, pretentiousness and how it's good to be the king! Also there's a semi-philosophical discussion of morality, so there's that to look forward to.

We've got a Discord server! Do you not know what that is? It's okay, at first we didn't either. But look us up, drop by, and say hello! And scripts are proceeding apace for the "Active Radioactive Radio" webseries and a new, as yet-unannounced show, to bring more new Pendant goodness to your ear holes! We've got the preview trailer for "King John" act I in "The Pendant Shakespeare", and Jordan and Justin Fife discuss inspiration, language puzzles, and weird tangents!
