Tumanbay

Dramatized fantasy series

Tumanbay: the most magnificent city on earth. The beating heart of a vast empire. A city of dreams – where those who once arrived as slaves now reside in the seat of power.

An engrossing, epic fantasy from creators John Scott Dryden and Mike Walker.

Note from Creator:

⚔️🏰🪵

Evo's take:

Don't let the "fantasy" part fool you. This is much more of a military/administration/coup kind of story, which arguably sounds less sexy than "fantasy." But I enjoyed it immensely. Perhaps you will as well.

David Flinch had hoped to be spared the horror of serving his family’s lord and master, Lord Underwood, but when he is summoned to the Flinch home in Spain, he knows his luck has run out. But David’s sister, Lydia, craves this servant role and will do anything to get it.

Note from Creator:

Also in this show: Underwood and Flinch; the thriller, One Among The Sleepless; his short stories; his readings of classic stories, including 18 from H.P. Lovecraft; and his unabridged reading of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

🧛🏼‍♂️😱😄

Evo's take:

This is one of my favorite series from the early days of podcast fiction. Mike is a fabulous storyteller, and his voice is perfect for the story he wrote. You'll dig it!
