Thursday March 12th at 7:00pm: ☘️ The SeanchaĆ­'s Shadow

 

The SeanchaĆ­'s Shadow

It's Friday the 13th in the bogs.
The silence is chilling, but the seanchaĆ­’s story is louder.

Click to view Trailer

 On Friday the 13th, just four days before St. Patrick's Day, in the desolate bogs of modern Ireland, a person vanishes without a trace, leaving behind an empty room and a chilling silence. But where the police see a cold case, folklore student Sarah sees a pattern—one written in the ink of a century-old manuscript.

Saturday February 14th at 1:00pm: ❤️ Vignettes from the Vintage Heart

 
Step Into the Attic
Vignettes 
from the Vintage Heart
"Because consciousness isn't about surviving, it’s about being witnessed."



 Vignettes from the Vintage Heart

What happens to the love letters that never get sent?
Where do the old songs go when the radio is turned off?

This Valentine's season, Storylink Radio invites you to step out of the noise of the modern world and into the quiet sanctuary of the past. Join us for a special live event:
"Vignettes from the Vintage Heart."

Our guide for the evening is Arthur—a traveler through time who collects memories like others collect stamps. He has opened his dusty cedar chest to share a collection of interconnected tales spanning a century of romance. Together, we will visit a 1950s projectionist’s booth on its final night, wait for a ghost train in a fog-drenched station, and even drift through the cold expanse of space with only a jazz record for company.

It’s an evening of noir, whimsy, and deep nostalgia, broadcast live across the virtual worlds of Second Life and Kitely, and streaming directly to YouTube.

The Library of Dust

What happens when the stories we burn refuse to die?

šŸ“ŗ
Check out our "Martian Gothic" vibe Teaser!

In celebration of Edgar Allan Poe’s birthday, Storylink Radio and the Seanchai Library invite you to cross sixty million miles of space for a haunting unlike any other. In 1950, Ray Bradbury gave us 'Usher II'—a tale of a man who built a masterpiece of gothic vengeance on the red sands of Mars . 
Now, we present the full, expanded tetralogy:
The Library of Dust:
Beyond the House of Usher
Follow William Thomas Stendahl and Joseph 'Pip' Pikes from the soot-choked libraries of the Great Fire on Earth to the silent lava tubes of the Blue Mountains. Experience the original classic reimagined with new layers of lore, from the secret bargains of childhood to the 'Library of Dust' that seeds the future of a new generation. It is a story of masks, metaphors, and a mechanical bat flapping in the October hush of the red dunes . Join us live across Second Life, Opensim Kitely, and YouTube for a masterclass in immersive storytelling.

The Red Death is coming...                              
                       but this time, it’s the imagination.

THURSDAY November 27th at 10am: ALICES RESTAURANT MASSACREE

      

ALICE'S RESTAURANT MASSACREE
The song is one of Arlo Guthrie's most prominent works, based on a true incident from his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965 with a citation for littering, and ended with the refusal of the U.S. Army to draft him because of his conviction for that crime. The ironic punch line of the story is that, in the words of Guthrie, "I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the Army - burn women, kids, houses and villages - after bein' a litterbug." The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

The "song" is in fact a spoken monologue, presented by Shandon Loring today for your listening pleasure or just to groan at and be Thankful when it's over.
