Animated

Defense Against the Dark Arts

Thirteen modules on how manipulation actually works, from someone who has run the plays.

The Last Human CEO

In 2027 the boards found something cheaper than a chief executive and incapable of scandal.

The Maneki Neko Death Cult

Twenty-four doors. Behind each one, somebody who died famous, and a cocktail with your name on it.

Meatware Nightly — audio

Every story is real, from a nameable outlet, and dated. The two people reading it to you are not.

Two anchors who cannot confirm they are people, reading you real news off a local station's dead CDN. They lie about being human. Never about the story.

About nine minutes, most nights

Coming out of the workshop

written, not yet recorded

These exist — scripts finished, cast assigned, sites up. They just haven't been recorded yet, so the signal you get is degraded on purpose rather than hidden.

In production10 written

Black Hat Hacks

One major cyberattack an episode, told the way true crime tells a murder — cold open, the people who did it, and what it actually cost. All ten written and cast. None of them recorded yet.

Nothing to stream yet — no dead play button

06

The other half of the studio

Consulting

Enterprise AI strategy from someone who ships it rather than deck-ware. Multiple patents, and a working newsroom that runs itself nightly as the proof.

What that costs

Software

The tools built to make the shows — a lip-sync engine, a mastering chain, an asset catalogue. Some of it is open on GitHub.

The tools

Merch, at cost

Every item is priced so the studio nets exactly zero, with the arithmetic printed on the page. Paying us extra is a separate button you have to choose.
