Hi. Alex here, founder and CEO of Rusty Quill Limited. In case you haven't heard, there is now a Magnus Archives novel.

The story follows Hugh, a university dropout desperate to find somewhere to belong and his new job at an esoteric library.

Hi everyone, it's Shahan, voice of Sam in The Magnus Protocol. Today we're sharing the first episode of a show in the RQ network called Redacted, a procedural Monster of the Week comedy audio drama from the creators of The Grotto and The Cellar Letters. Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late brother's life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within the Redacted Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. Each week, they'll face up against a different threat, or aberration. Redacted features familiar names and voices, including Jamie Patronus, Ethan, Jeffrey Reddick, Nathan Lunsford, Harlan Guthrie, and has just released an exciting episode featuring Jonathan Sims.

hey hey mom yeah yeah i know it's late i'm sorry i i just wanted to call you before the police do there's been an accident no no i i'm fine a couple of scratches but mom are you sitting down yeah i think it would be best if you did it's dad He was thrown from the car. He must not have had his belt on. Mom, Dad is... He didn't make it. Who was driving? Well, I was, but it's not my fault. Mom, it's raining, and the car just started sliding, and I... No, no, Mom, please.
Please.
Mom, please, please don't go.
Mom, please. Thank you, Jacob. That was great, but did you prepare any of the material we sent you?
So I looked it over. I just don't think that it really resonated with the character. None of the dialogue really showed the gravitas that I think he deserves.
Jacob, Jacob, we appreciate the care put into your craft, but production really has a singular vision for this character.
Look, I get that there's a vision and all, but the lines that were sent to me were just so pedestrian.
You are aware that the writer is sitting at this table, correct?
Uh, hey. I am sorry. Look, I didn't mean anything by it. All writers have to start somewhere, right?
Jacob, we can't use alternate dialogue. The script is locked. We need to hear the lines as written. If you could, please, just start again with the provided material. Whenever you're ready.
Okay, so you didn't do the audition then?
No, I did do it. It just wasn't what they wanted. They wanted some brainless nobody to recite their amateur script exactly as written.
Okay, yeah, you mean like, I don't know, an actor then?
Look, if they wanted an actor, I would have heard back by now.
You do realize how pretentious you sound when you get like this, right? Like, you have to hear that, right?
I wouldn't call it pretentious, per se.
What is the Redacted series and how is it being introduced?
I prefer to look at it as having artistic integrity.
Okay, well, yeah, all of... That, whatever that is, it doesn't pay the bills, Jacob. And also, I don't think it's even possible to say per se without being pretentious.
Look, I'm not going to waste my time reciting derivative bullshit for a part as an unnamed victim on some random crime show.
