Hey folks, Lauren Shipping here. Sadly

0:02

this is not an update about season two

0:04

of Maxim Miles, but hopefully there

0:07

will be some more news about that coming

0:09

this fall. But instead I want

0:11

to share a new podcast from yours

0:13

truly. The show is called Breaker

0:15

Whiskey and it releases every weekday. That's

0:18

right, every day. I've

0:20

been making audio drama for a while now, and

0:22

I wanted to challenge myself to make an ongoing

0:24

show that I didn't have a perfect plan

0:27

for something I could discover

0:29

along the way. That's what Breaker

0:31

Whiskey is. Each episode is under

0:33

five minutes, and while I have an idea

0:35

of the larger story points, I don't

0:37

know exactly where the road will take me or what will

0:40

be at the end of it. So what's

0:42

it about. Well, in nineteen

0:44

sixty eight, two women find themselves

0:46

in rural Pennsylvania during what turns out to be

0:48

some kind of apocalyptic event. By

0:51

the time they discovered that everyone else is gone, it's

0:53

too late to figure out what happened. Despite

0:55

not liking each other at all, the women

0:58

work together to SURVIVEX years

1:00

later, one of them sets out on her own, driving

1:02

around the country to find other survivors.

1:05

This is her story. Head

1:07

on over to Breaker Whiskey in your podcast apps, subscribe

1:10

and stick around right here to listen to the first episode.

1:13

This is Lauren signing.

1:14

Off breaker

1:19

Breaker Channel nineteen. Is

1:23

anyone reading breaker

1:27

Breaker? This is Whiskey, Oh,

1:33

Whiskey Alpha Romeo. This

1:35

is Whiskey Alpha Romeo calling out

1:41

once again. That's Whiskey Alpha Romeo currently

1:44

along, iab breaker

1:50

Breaker. You

1:55

know, I just realized how bad those initials

1:58

are. But that's the

2:00

rule, right, W for East

2:02

of the Mississippi, Which isn't

2:04

that a bit backward? Shouldn't it be W for

2:06

west anyway?

2:09

W for East of the Mississippi plus

2:11

the initials of your name? But I

2:14

mean still war is a bit whiskey,

2:18

I guess is okay, that'd

2:20

be the part of the call sign that everybody in this area

2:23

has, so not

2:25

really specific. And

2:30

again it doesn't seem like anyone

2:32

is here, so no other W

2:35

call signs to mix me up with. So

2:38

if you are listening somehow, whiskey

2:41

is fine.

2:46

I don't have a number. I

2:49

don't I technically have any kind of

2:52

license actually, but who

2:54

would be giving them out right? I

2:58

mean, in that case. I guess trying to stick to any

3:00

kind of convention is sort of pointless

3:03

at this juncture. So I could have picked any old

3:05

name, But

3:08

I mean, we all have to hold on to whatever bit

3:10

of structure we can to stay sane, right,

3:13

And I don't

3:15

know. I have the pamphlet for this thing, and it

3:19

feels like I should follow it to the letter. You

3:23

know, this radio has been sitting

3:25

in our garage for five years, and this is

3:27

the first time we've sent a signal out. I

3:30

mean we are remote, yeah,

3:32

but that doesn't mean that we couldn't. Sorry

3:39

not we the first time I've sent a signal

3:41

out, So Lord

3:43

knows, she never did either, and

3:46

never will. I mean I

3:48

doubt you even noticed that this is gone,

3:51

and she certainly won't miss it. I mean, she's not gonna miss

3:53

anything anyway.

4:00

Here I am clogging up the airwaves.

4:03

I'm pretty sure that's bad etiquette, actually, but

4:08

if no one's listening, there is no one to offend. So

4:14

anyway, like I said, whiskey

4:17

alpha romeo along

4:19

I eight, I'll stand

4:21

this frequency for the rest of the day.
