Show Notes:
Hello fellow nerds, geeks and supporters of indie pop culture creators! Aaron Nabus here and welcome to the Hall H Show! I appeared recently on The Writers Block (hosted by Rylend Grant and David Avallone) with my guests for episode 105, Tilly and Susan Bridges.
That was a fun conversation, not about writing, but about creating podcasts, which they produce, along with audio dramas, through their company, Pendant Productions.
Though, Tilly and Susan are also writers, having written their own comic book, Killswitch, screenplays, teleplays and audio dramas. They might be the only married trans woman / cis woman writing team around!
On this episode, we talk about their “meet cute” moment, Pendant Productions, Killswitch, pizza, Star Trek, Trans Tuesday and so much more! ~Aaron
About Tilly and Susan Bridges:
We write fun, hope-fueled sci-fi, with blue sky imaginations and a sprinkle (or three) of comedy! Our stories explore personal identity and how society shapes us. We delve into the reasons we are who we are, who we can become, how we can get there, and what we owe to each other along the way.
– Tilly and Susan Bridges
About Pendant Productions:
In late August of 2004, along with a few close friends and family members, I formed an audio production group dedicated to making radio dramas like the old radio serials of the ’30s and ’40s, only modernized for today’s audiences. Think of them as movies without the video feed.
