Today's issue is light, which I chalk up to a mix of summer time and the aforementioned stuff. Mostly the latter. Apropos of just that, today's Featured Titles and Collections are rather inspired, I think you'll find.
Speaking of that, if you know of a show I need to add to a Collection, please reach out! We've almost 900 titles in our directory of finished audio fiction, and sometimes it's hard for me to figure out what a show is about from the description. So yes, chime in!

Let's get into it, shall we?

Introducing Everyone’s Happy, a thrilling sci-fi audio drama set in a futuristic United Kingdom, where Dome-covered cities are governed by the Happiness Programme—a government-mandated drug eliminating negative emotions for universal bliss.
Seventeen-year-old Parker, a relatable outcast struggling with her emotions, inherits a set of mysterious tapes from her late grandmother, unravelling her own tumultuous journey and a hidden legacy.
Lurking beneath the Dome’s facade of utopia, a few individuals remain immune to the drug’s influence. The System, an all-seeing government, monitors citizens for any signs of negative emotions, and being labeled immune spells unimaginable consequences.
