Back Again, Back Again

Abigail Eliza

Audioverse Award-winning podcast Back Again, Back Again is a narrative audio drama about ex-prophecy children, the end of adventures, and queer girls with swords. It tells the story of Ilyaas, who, on the night of her seventeenth birthday, gets portal-magicked away to a world called Rhysea – where she is told that she is part of a prophecy to save the country. The podcast picks up at the traditional end of all "portal fantasy" stories: prophecy completed, Ilyaas must readjust to the "real world" while still remembering everything she's seen.

    Back Again, Back Again Presents: Sword and Spinner

    Between the first rex et poeta et soldat and the one Ilyaas finds herself a part of, there were still storytellers, swords, and kings that didn't care near as much as they should. Remus's job is to solve the problems too small for the monarchy to get involved in. Lila's job is to tell the stories after they're through. A prequel story to our silly regular programming, Back Again, Back Again. Music by Chloe Peterson; Editing and writing by Abigail Eliza. Transcript: https://bit.ly/swordspinners1e1 If you're looking for more of this show and to follow it as it comes out, check out Sword and Spinner on your pod platform of choice!
