RQ Network Feed Drop - The Program audio series: Overclocking Part 1

9/22/2025
This month we are featuring an episode of one of many exciting podcasts on the RQ Network: The Program audio series.

It follows a group of characters in a disintegrating simulation embarking on a journey to the literal end of the world. You can find the episode transcript at programaudioseries.com/23-overclocking/ including credits and a list of references. The Program audio series is created and produced by IMS. Introduction and outro by Lowri Ann Davies. You can listen to the 2nd part of this brilliant episode by using this link.

Hiatus Announcement - Season 2, Act 2

9/18/2025
Hello friends and fans! Lowri here – you may know me as the voice of Celia. I hope you have been enjoying The Magnus Protocol! Episode 50 marks the end of Act 2 of season 2 and, as with season one, we now have a pre-planned break in the show’s release schedule. 2025 has been an incredible year at Rusty Quill, and the rest of the year has even more packed into it. This means that the breaks between acts are longer than previously, as we balance the workloads of our small team. That said, we have some very exciting things to share with you before Act 3, including a brand-new official 6-episode spin-off of The Magnus Protocol: Sheeple Chase, which you can listen to right here on the Magnus feed. Sheeple Chase, written by Sasha Sienna and directed by April Sumner, was a stretch goal unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign that funded Protocol – thank you to everyone who donated and made this possible! This fictional podcast, set prior to the events of The Magnus Protocol, is hosted by conspiracy enthusiast Georgie Barker and faux-sceptic Celia Ripley. In each episode, one of the hosts will present a conspiracy theory, before discussing the “evidence” for and against. However, will Celia’s ulterior motives and Georgie’s growing paranoia put the podcast in jeopardy? Not only that, but we are hard at work behind the scenes developing Magnus Live: The Hilltop – a fully-staged, two-act play debuting in London this October. The Hilltop, which is written and directed by Alexander J Newall, will feature fan-favourite characters from The Magnus Archives and The Magnus Protocol. Rehearsals are underway and everything from costumes to set design and backdrops are being worked on by members of the RQ team. While tickets for the show are sold out, we have secured a professional videographer team to film and produce a recording of the play. We’ll share more information on the distribution of this at a later date. As we’re getting towards the end of the year and ever closer to the holiday season, you may be on the lookout for gifts for your loved ones, or maybe just for yourself! There’s plenty of amazing official Magnus merchandise available, including handcrafted wooden dice trays, dice towers and more from Harps Corp, bespoke “Jon & Martin” and “Ex Altiora” perfume scents from Sucreabeille, and even a limited-edition Magnus microphone from Sontronics – perfect for your first foray into podcasting. Find all these and more by visiting our website: rustyquill.com/support Thank you so much for being here and listening to our shows – your enthusiasm for everything we create means the world to us. An extra super special thank you to our paid subscribers on Patreon whose donations go directly back into creating Rusty Quill Original podcasts. The Magnus Protocol will return in 2026. Thanks for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

RQ Network Feed Drop – Ain't Slayed Nobody

This month we are featuring a feed drop from Ain’t Slayed Nobody one of the amazing shows on the RQ Network. AINT SLAYED NOBODY is a Gold Ennie winning actual play podcast with this first episode being from their first season set in the American Old West. The production blends tabletop roleplaying and audio drama with fast pacing and immersive sound design. The posse begins their quest in grand Old Western tradition: with a hanging. Bullets begin to fly as a shady priest, a rough and tumble miner, a suave former outlaw, and an earnest hobo join vengeful Deputy Sheriff Ellie Bishop on the Canutillo Railroad Bridge. Little does this ragtag posse know of the cosmic horrors that are about to unfold. Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby. Listen to Ain’t Slayed Nobody wherever you find podcasts, on the Rusty Quill website and at www.aintslayednobody.com.

RQ Network Feed Drop – The Cellar Letters

5/15/2025
This month we are featuring a feed drop from The Cellar Letters one of the brilliant shows on the RQ Network. After a series of traumatic events, Nate and his dog, Bella, move across the country to the East Coast. Nate, desperately seeking a fresh start, documents the whole process, exploring the perfect new house – loads of space, a yard for Bella to run in, unbelievably low rent…. But there’s something not quite right. Something about the house feels wrong. There’s knocking noises in the nighttime, not to mention the locked room in the basement, filled with letters about strange occurrences and ghostly figures. Who wrote these letters? And why are they all stored in the cellar? And what, exactly, was Nate running from in the first place? Join Nate, his dog and his friend Steve as they search for answers. Introduction and outro by Billie Hindle. Listen to The Cellar Letters wherever you find podcasts, on the Rusty Quill website and at www.thecellarletters.com.
