Ethics Town

CL Hendry

Ethics Town is a cosmic horror podcast about philosophical conundrums in a weird small town! We're not going to answer the big questions for you, but we are going to dance around them in a fun and theatrical manner!

Listeners will follow January, a tired and wired Ethics local, and Artemis, a young girl lost in the woods, as they try to unravel what exactly is going on down in the town of Ethics now that the new mayor has taken office. Statistics and probability are exchanged for conspiracy theory logic as the pair try to explain weirder and weirder happenings.

Crew Q&A
Join our two-person BTS crew as they answer all the big, serious questions we didn't cover with the cast, such as: How much of Ethics Town was inspired by Sex and the City 2? What's your favourite thing for a little shed boy to say? And can you play the newly weds game, but every question is about the podcast you're working on? (Plot and sound design. It's plot and sound design) TRANSCRIPT: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kh0Jpe8EIts2DtUiDrdfVe4cWsTc2ADcCCIUhF__oGo/edit Follow us @EthicsTownPod for updates. Content Warnings: Many themes that appear in the show are discussed during this Q&A, but usually not in so much depth and in a more jovial manner Be prepared to hear people discuss imposter syndrome and death of a family member SFX: All swears in the audio have been bleeped out with the sound of Cai playing an instrument that sounds like a slightly janky train whistle. Cai and CL *love* this sound, but it's not for everyone and can be jarring.
