High school drama is the absolute end of the world. Rez High is populated by virtual characters and NPCs – but not all of the people they meet are controlled by a computer. Just who are the mysterious other players of the game, and what, exactly, do they want? And, perhaps more importantly, what exactly happened in the distant past that led to the brutal reality of the future?

Reminder, on Sunday July 5th at Sheffield City Hall in Sheffield, UK you can see a new version of Statement Begins that was first performed last year at The Lowry Quay Theatre on 17 Jul 2025. This show was designed to be fresh every time, tour friendly and enjoyable both for fans who have seen the show before or yet to see the show! A few new fans who have never seen the Magnus Archives loved it too! You can still get tickets for this show at our largest ever venue at: https://crossedwires.live/podcast/the-magnus-archivesMeanwhile in news from the RQ Network, we caught up with IMS the creator of The Program Audio series to find out more about their latest episode that has recently released. 1. Introduce yourself and for new listeners, tell us what The Program audio series is about?
The Program is a sci-fi anthology set in a world where Money, State, and God have fused into a single entity. Each episode is a standalone story, so new listeners can start with whichever sounds most intriguing. Crowd favourites include: "White Algorithm's burden" (true crime), "Four ways to stop your system from freezing" (drama), "Contemporary Cube Theory" (academic lecture), "How to keep device drivers from crashing" (comedy), "Overclocking" (adventure), and "All unsaved progress will be lost" (alternate history).
2. The Program audio series just released a new episode, without spoilers is there anything you're particularly proud of in the latest episode?
The world of the future is ruled by algorithms - just as it is now. This latest episode tackles the most dangerous algorithm of them all: the one that always tells the truth. For the first time, the show flirts with horror, which should appeal greatly to Rusty Quill listeners. The episode is entitled "Single source of truth" and it's available now on all podcast platforms.
3. Across all of your experience in podcasting, what are you most excited about?
I'm looking forward to releasing episode 40 later this year. The Program premiered in 2019, and I like to believe that I've managed to create several stories embodying what I look for in sci-fi: they make you think, they make you feel, and they make you socially conscious.You can find this and other great episodes of The Program Audio series here: https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/62713b2fba62b7001272b4f9 Have a great week all!
