No Normal Life Podcast

Update 8: Production Update #1: Recording in progress... · No Normal Life: Season 1 Hi everyone – it’s been a busy few months behind the scenes of No Normal Life, and we wanted to give you an update on where things are at!Since we last caught up at the end of October, we’ve been cast...

Production update time! We'e been recording... www.kickstarter.com/projects/cri...

Are you an #audiodrama voice actor who home records? Ever dreamed of being murdered by a scarecrow, or meeting an otherwise grizzly end on mic?

I'm looking for folks to fill a few single-episode roles in No Normal Life! Basic casting call is here:

No Normal Life: Season 1 A 10-episode audio drama exploring the origins of The Critshow’s original power couple

There's only EIGHT HOURS LEFT to pledge to our Kickstarter campaign, and we've just zoomed past our first stretch goal at $11k! The people clearly want more Damien O'Doyle, and who are we to refuse?

www.kickstarter.com/projects/cri...

Adding the Kickstarter banner to our campaign image still feels very surreal. Also... if you'd like to gurauntee yourself an ad-free feed of season 1, now's the time to scoop one up! And some pretty cool stickers, too. #audiodrama #audiomeat (is this really a thing?)

A screencap of Kickstarter's project dashboard: "$10,125 pledged, 101% funded, 146 backers, 49 hours to go"

A TREMENDOUS thank you to all our backers for pushing us over the finish line tonight! We are thrilled and delighted that we get to bring you all this show that we've been looking forward to so much!

Our first stretch goal is a bonus mini-sode about our beloved speed demon Damien -- we'd LOVE to get his actor Percy into your ears again beyond just his main-season appearance. That's at just $11,000, and the way we're climbing in the final 72 hours, we can definitely make it!

We're just a few hundred dollars away (ooooh, even less than when I checked an hour ago!) from reaching our goal, and there's still a little time left to think about... stretch goals!

And here's Hannah about playing Lana!

For these final days of the campaign (!!!), we asked our leads: what is it about playing these characters that excites them? Here's what Jenah had to say about Anastacia:

We all need a little more drama in our lives... audio dramas that is!

Help get the original story of these two monster hunters out in the world. We are almost at the finish line, with 4 days to go!

If you miss the stream, you can also hire Rick to provide advice on your own magical quandary (real, or for your tabletop game) as one of our backer rewards! Here's a little sample of Rick's wisdom: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxU...

You want crystals? Rick's got 'em. And even better for our heroes, he works on credit. But you never know what'll happen when he finally calls in an IOU...

An outline of a classic "wizard in robes and hat" figure, labeled Rick, "The Wizard."

Images that represent Rick: a collection of crystals, a run-down psychic shop with a neon sign in the window, a van spraypainted with a wizard on the side, a bank of payphones, and an old-fashioned coin-operated oracle machine.

Who IS Rick? Well, every good monster hunter's gotta have a guy, and Rick is Anastacia's. When not providing arcane counsel via pay phone, he runs a magical goods shop known as the Arcane Emporium. Or "Rick's Magic Stuff Hut," if you're Anastacia.

"Rick's One Night Only Wizard Advice Livestream - Weds 10-23 9PM ET / 6PM PT, @thecritshow on Twitch and TikTok. Your supernatural quandaries solved!" There is clipart of a crystal ball and an image of Rev from The Critshow in wizard robes and hat, speaking into a mic.

We've reached 100 backers! 🥳🥳🥳You know what that means: time for our special One Night Only Dial-A-Wizard Advice Hotline! We'll be live on Twitch and TikTok (@thecritshow), Wednesday 10/23 at 6PM PDT / 9PM EDT, to answer all your burning supernatural questions! #audiodrama

At least her godly patron, The Defender, stops in every now and again to give advice that...might be helpful. (So long as they don’t talk about her girl problems.)

To help her in her divine mission to protect the Chosen One, Anastacia's not only got a magic hammer – she can also punch really, really hard. But her tough and gruff exterior hides a soft spot for kids facing danger – and pretty girls.

She can handle anything the supernatural world throws at her – but when it comes to dealing with regular nature, all bets are off. If there's a spider in the shared motel room, you can bet she's not the one carrying it outside.

And who's Anastacia? Well, if Lana's the girl next door, then Anastacia's the girl fighting the high school bully in the gas station parking lot… next door.

Ooooh, we're less than TEN BACKERS AWAY from reaching 100 and unlocking the special One Night Only, Live Dial-A-Wizard Advice Hotline! #audiodrama #motw

Also, her skills as someone who went on a lot of varsity road trips. If you're driving across Iowa with her, I Spy is perhaps the *least* embarrassing of the games you'll be subjected to.

In addition to mystical visions and a magic spear, Lana brings a strong sense of justice and her skills as a former gymnast to monster hunting.

After all, you can't be the chosen one without being a little bit more sure of yourself than is good for anyone. And Lana's pretty sure she doesn't need a divine protector…even one who looks like Anastacia.

An image in black, white, and gold, labeled Lana, "The Chosen." Lana crouches with a spear pointed out toward the audience, her hair in a high ponytail and a flannel shirt tied around her waist.

A collection of images related to Lana's character: car keys, a journal, a cassette mixtape, some hairties, and a gymnast's hands gripping a pole.

So who is Lana, beyond being 1/2 of our lead romantic duo? She may look like the girl next door, but don't let it fool you. She's not only the literal Chosen, on a mission to save the world, she's also got a stubborn streak – especially when she thinks she's in the right.

Update 3: Campaign Reward Focus: Investigaing the origins of our 90s MOTW Zine · No Normal Life: Season 1 Hello backers, Andrea here!First up, I wanted to shout out an epic Fuck, Marry, Kill bracket that backer Amanda has organized on Twitter and Bluesky in support of the show!

The "no"/"...but maybe" meme with "marry Audrey II"/"fuck Audrey II"

That being said...

Audrey II's a LOT more of a problem than the other two, she's gotta go.
