Sir boss man, Alexander J Newall.
I've been stuck on tma/tmp for the past however long now.
I just saw a post of yours mentioning fluff.
Is there a place for us(magnusiners[I will never use this term again,]) to like submit stuff for that? Or do you just go search around for that kind of stuff?
I think you misunderstand. For Season 1 Jonny has been forced to write a fluff episode himself. I am writing the “what if” episode.
That said, whilst it’s always nice to hear how people engage with our work we don’t have any formal method for taking submissions for stuff such as this.
Hello boss man!
So like
What would one have to do to get that Easter special back into Spotify for those of us that just wanna play it really loud on repeat for like no reason in particular. Not because it pushes buttons in my brain or anything.
Never gonna happen. I like our composer Sam too much to steal his kudos like that.
You can however listen to the entire Magnus Protocol soundtrack to date here and Bonzo’s theme is available here.
How was it that in a podcast with some of the grossest sound effects I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, the sound of kissing was where you and Johnny drew the line? It's just funny to me xD
Because kissing is gross.
Well I mean, all human processes are gross but kissing… blerg.
Jokes aside, it’s hard to explain. I guess it is worse hearing something that is meant to sound nice and isn’t than something that was meant to sound bad from the start.
Certainly enough listeners agreed that I think I am onto something here, not sure yet.
why did you turn replies off on all your posts :(
Just trying to cut down on random haters. I set it to allowing fans to reply if they have followed me for a week. If this is some enormous Tumblr faux pas I was not aware of do let me know.
Your earth customs are strange to me.
I know you probably can’t answer because of spoilers, but is there any chance you could confirm we don’t hear any harm done to children in Protocol? Jack’s introduction has set me a bit on edge, things happening to kids is a huge trigger for me.
Happy to answer this one. We are following the same rules as Archives, if you are introduced to an animal or child as a character, (basically if they are named) they will be all right in the end. They may encounter peril but will not be harmed. (see ep 19 as an example).
Hi Alex, saw the livestream got cancelled, hope you’re doing ok!
I was wondering- did you and Jonny meet in a civil service job, or private sector? Because there’s a lot in protocol that’s very accurate. (Just started a CS job). Of course this could just be your sterling research skills, but even in archives I wondered if there was direct experience informing the fiction.
Though, theres a lot of overlap in dumb jargon for private and CS. I will absolutely punch a hole in my computer if Lena tells Gwen she has to engage in agile thinking 😒
thanks for your time 🙂
So the O.I.A.R. is entirely based on the jobs that Jonny and I held when we first met. It was private sector but all of it, the weird job interview, the ancient computers, the unnecessary night work, even the location of the offices is all pretty damn accurate. The only difference is that what we had to summarise, whilst still horrifying, was much more late-stage capitalism horror stories than murderous puppets or whatever.
In terms of civil service stuff, I do my research and know plenty of people who work there.
Weirdly enough I suppose that means that if I was Sam (since I joined later) and Jonny was Alice (in that he was weirdly acclimatised already) that would mean that Sam and Alice both quit to make horror podcasts about their time at… oh god. I’ve gone all recursive.
