About this episode

SUPPORT LEVAIN: www.indiegogo.com/projects/levian-podcast

Levian is a new high fantasy audio drama by the creator of Desperado and Hug House Productions. It follows the story of Lord Valentin Tellari, the clever, cunning, and disgraced heir to his family’s fortune. After his sister’s betrayal forced him into exile, he now must face the deadly ocean that rages against the Drumming Isles. But neither storms nor leviathans will smother the vengeful fire that burns within Valentin. He will not know rest until he has reclaimed what is rightfully his. If you loved Game of Thrones and Pirates of the Caribbean but also thought, “Hey, this could be gayer!”, then Levian should be right up your alley.


Content Warnings: This episode contains situations of a sexual nature and mentions of homophobia. Transcript here. See the bottom of the shownotes for a transcript of Tal's introduction at the top of the episode.

Transcript of the intro:

Hi, I'm Tal Minear, executive producer of Re: Dracula. I'm here today to tell you about another audio drama I think you'd like. Levian is a new high fantasy audio drama that follows the story of Lord Valentin Tellari, the clever, cunning, and disgraced heir to his family’s fortune. After his sister’s betrayal forced him into exile, he now must face the deadly ocean that rages against the Drumming Isles. If you liked Game of Thrones and Pirates of the Caribbean but also thought, “Hey, this could be gayer!”, then Levian should be right up your alley. It features our very own Beth Eyre! You’ll hear her in the pilot, playing shortly. One of my favorite things about it is the subtle sound design - listen for the moments of cloth and chains, and the incredible use of footsteps! Also, Levain is crowdfunding from now until this Thursday! They’re behind on their goal, so any amount of money will help them tremendously. Seriously, even 5 bucks. The link is in the description, but you can also just search L-E-V-A-I-N on indiegogo. That's L-E-V-A-I-N. Alright, here's the pilot.
