A dark fantasy thriller audio drama.
When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place...
Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller audio drama following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects – a broken pocket watch; a steel thimble; a silk scarf – but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone’s life story.
Each week the Apprentice reads a new remnant, following that person’s journery beginning to end. When he’s done, he must make a judgement; shelve or discard. But he doesn’t know what the criteria is or what the consequences of such a judgement might be.
The more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more we begin to understand the magnitude of the task he has been set. And the more both we, and the Apprentice himself, wonder why it is him who has been chosen to do it.
With every week, a new mystery. With every new mystery, a terrible choice.

Hi! I’m Eira, the voice of Sir and the Apprentice, and also the person who writes this show, sound designs it, and puts it out into the world. There’s no new episode of the show this week because I’ve been unwell and haven’t been able to finish it, so instead, you’ll be hearing this intermission, which features the Apprentice reading a Shakespeare monologue. I hope you enjoy it.
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

[MUSIC BOX STARTS]
SIR
Does it worry you that everything is different?
APPRENTICE
Honestly, I think it would worry me more if it was the same.
[WHOOSH]
[MUSIC BOX STARTS, SLOWER]
‘Who are you?’ he asks.
‘I don’t know anymore. I’m not sure I ever did.’
[WHOOSH]
[MUSIC BOX STARTS, EVEN SLOWER]
APPRENTICE
No it— well it is your fault, frankly, but there’s no point in getting angry with you about it. It’s not like you remember anyway.
SIR
I remember we were here and there was nothing. I remember you spoke about the Remnants. They tell stories. You said that to me.

Remnants returns for its second season on 6th October, 2025.

Hey folks!
So remember how I said at the end of the Q&A that Remnants would be coming out 25th August unless something went wrong? I think I might have jinxed myself by saying that out loud, because something did go wrong! But that’s okay. Release is being pushed back until 6th of October which is just six weeks after the original planned release date.
The shape of this season is a liiiiiittle bit different to season one! There will be thirty episodes of the show, and they’ll be releasing in ten episode blocks, with three week gaps in between each block. Those gaps will be filled with more Real Remnants! Hopefully this will be fun.
But! In order to make Season Two of Remnants happen, I need your help! I’ve just COMPLETELY overhauled my Patreon to make it better and more sustainable. There’s a bunch of new offerings over there, and you can still access all the Creator’s Notes for Season One, PLUS ad-free access to the all thirty episodes of S1.
For Season Two, you’ll be able to get Early Access to episodes as they release, INCLUDING access to Remnants S2’s first episode a full ten days before everyone else. S2 will be getting Creator’s Notes just like S1, and there will be bonus remnants you can read which expand the world of the show.
Patreon supporters also get thanks in the credits of my Season Finales. But something cool for everyone who signs up before Remnants S2 starts airing in October at Mega Slothling Tier or higher will get their name listed on the Hanging Sloth Website forEVER. What’s more; if you sign up at Ginormous Slothling Tier and choose an annual subscription, rather than a monthly one, you’ll get your name listed as a Patreon Producer on an episode of Remnants S2!
I’ve put more information about the Patreon overhaul over on my Patreon, which I’ve linked in the description below!
In a perfect world, I’d be able to make my work without financial support, but as a working class creator who makes art as a full time job, this just isn’t possible. I’m a one man team, and I absolutely love making my work happen. But I really can’t do it without your support.
If you can’t support me on Patreon right now, don’t’ worry, there are other things you can do to help the show. You can talk about it on social media; make fan art; share it with your friends; and leave ratings and reviews wherever you’re listening right now.
I’m really looking forward to bringing season two of Remnants to you later this year, and I really hope you’ll consider supporting me on Patreon. I’ll speak to you again soon. Until then, buh bye!

This was very fun to put together, which I'm sure you'll be able to tell the amount of times I just start laughing in this recording. Spoilers for Remnants S1, of course, and content warnings for discussions of elements that appear in the show, including mental illness, death, grief and addiction.

This time, we look at medical innovation in the context of war (and beyond!) and how observation led to the development of a treatment for cancer from a chemical weapon.

A note: this episode mentions the development of the polio vaccine. This vaccine's development is wacky and absolutely wild in its own right, and many of the methods used, particularly early in the process, were completely bonkers and would not hold up to modern scrutiny; indeed many were criticised even at the time. The point is to highlight a case where people were not non-consensually used to innovate medically, NOT to highlight an example of a perfect developmental process. If I can find an excuse to talk about the development of the polio vaccine in more depth at some point, I absolutely will because it is completely wild.
