Martin Riley leads as much a normal life as any other person, he marries, starts a family, divorces and of course like everyone else, he grows old. Now on his death bed, unable to eat, drink or talk, the decision of his end-of-life care is left to a software version of himself. A futuristic form of a living which he signed years before.

In this H.P Lovecraft classic, we listen to a story told by a nameless figure. A story about a certain strange man called Arthur Jermyn. As the title suggests, we listen to the life of this Arthur Jermyn and the peculiarities of both himself and his family. We hear about the family members and their strange unique obsessions with Gods and amazing mystical artefacts located far within the jungles of Africa. We are also told of what this ancient artefact did to the Jermyns, and how they all met their suspicious ends. Almost like they never existed.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937 was an American writer of weird, science, fantasy, and horror fiction and is best known for his creation of the Cthulhu Mythos. He is regarded as the pioneer of Cosmic Horror and the Horror of the Unknown who's stories have been a major inspiration behind the existence of many, many Sci-Fi Horror properties of the modern day and beyond, including this very podcast. This episode serves as tribute to his work.
If you feel inclined to do so after listening to this episode, do consider looking into the many other literary works of H.P Lovecraft, with whom, many of the stories we love today, wouldn't have existed.

The conclusion to Jakob Chapman's "Observation". Mik attends his second Observation experiment and is sent to another world, his mind his own, but in a foreign body. His interactions with the planet organisms soon prove hostile, and things only get more horrific when Mik suddenly wakes up outside his girlfriend Kessy's apartment carrying an itch inside him that is hidden from the world, until it is too late. While Mik's life and mind continues to spiral out of control, the doctors in charge of the experiment, are getting exactly what they want. And they want more.

"Observation" tells the story of a man called Mik, who volunteers to take part for the second time, in an incredible experiment which takes a persons consciousness and sends it across the solar system to different worlds. To observe the universe and prove humanity is not alone. But with some unpleasant side effects. Although Mik is drawn by a sense of duty to serve for the betterment of science and the exploration of space, his relationship with his girlfriend Kessy is falling apart as she tries exhaustingly to talk him out of it, telling him that the second Observation will most surely kill him. But Mik is firm with his decision, oblivious to what lies ahead, set by the ones in charge who's motivations are more sinister than science.

Debs is a voiceover artist and comedy writer who although has only been in the VO industry for a little over 3 years, as Debs put it herself, she believes to have found her calling the moment she first stood in front of a microphone. As well as talking about Debs' humble beginnings as a VO, we also talk about a whole load of other subjects. Such as the usual tips and lessons she’s learned along her journey so far, our fascination and admiration towards famous audio drama director Dirk Mags, her performance on Cryo Pod Tapes' Episode 21 Lone Orbit by Roger Ley, and the difference between bad script writing and good script writing, delving into detail while using examples from movies like Alien, Game of Thrones, and Transformers. There's that and more in this newest longest episode in Cryo Pod Tapes history, so we hope you enjoy it.

Today I sit and chat with David Holmes. A voiceover artist who featured as the special guest narrator for Episode 23's "The Terrible Old Man" by H.P Lovecraft. We talk about a lot of things me and David. From his previous career as a theatre lighting designer, to his humble voiceover beginnings as a virtual Glaswegian Toad. From talking about his valuable 3 P's lesson for novice VO's, to his appreciation with vintage pencil sharpeners. There are even some pigeons in there somewhere. It even gets to a point where we're  just blurting out celebrity voice impressions that we either can or can't do, so needless to say, we laugh a lot during this conversation. But with nearly every laugh shared, David always has a lesson to share, so you can learn something as well as laugh at something. This is the longest conversation episode so far on the Cryo Pod Tapes and just might be the funniest one too.

In this Conversation Episode, I sit and chat with fellow voiceover artist and my friend, Brad Shaw. Brad has been in the creative industries all his life and has had experience as a theatre actor, a show reel producer, a murder mystery facilitator and of course, a voiceover artist. As well as delving into Brad's colourful career, we hear the story of how he created his VO training platform, Wonderland VO. Which started out as an audiobook project of Alice in Wonderland, in support of the NHS during the first Covid lockdown. We also talk about what makes acting, "good" acting and in brads opinion, why being part of a community of voiceovers can be one of the best things an aspiring VO can do.

"Hole" is a short story written in the over-the-shoulder perceptive with the story telling you what is happening, as if you, the reader, is the one experiencing what is happening in the story. In this story, a perfectly black, circular hole has appeared on the floor of your Livingroom. Your immense curiosity needs to know. Why is it there? How did it get there? And most importantly, where does it leads to? But what you may find at the end of the tunnel, might make you wish you never did.
