After a successful crowdfunding campaign and an exciting recording process, ThirdSight Media’s third podcast arrives on July 11th! Jeff Van Dreason’s The Perfect Sentence is a new fiction podcast album.

Jeff puts it better than me:

The Perfect Sentence is an audio drama about memory, loss, grief, information, misinformation, regret, death, social media, and the end of the world. But all told in the form of a musical album, with songs rather than episodes.

If you love Greater Boston and other musical, experimental audio fiction like The Tower or Kane and Feels (FYI, Kane and Feels co-creator Oliver Morris wrote the music of The Perfect Sentence with Jeff and performed much of it), then The Perfect Sentence is for you. It’s cool, it’s weird, it’s deeply personal, and its format is challenging and familiar in equal measure.

The official release is July 11th, but Jeff is hosting a listening party on July 10th 10pm EST. Click here to register via Zoom.

You can listen to The Perfect Sentence on Bandcamp. Preorder your copy and get access to three tracks before the album comes out.

Some other Notes:

You might notice we have a new newsletter provider! Back in May, our newsletter got snagged in a lot of spam filters and that was a sign that we needed to go elsewhere. So hopefully now there’ll be no further issues, but we appreciate your patience as we settle in with Beehiiv.

Also, ThirdSight contributor Bob Raymonda’s podcast Windfall is in its second season, with episodes airing monthly. Looking to add some fantasy to your playlist? Give it a listen!

If you haven’t listened to The Tower or Kane and Feels, then those are our two recommended podcasts this month!

The Tower

A mysterious tower sits in the middle of the city, stretching up into the sky. Kiri does not know why she feels compelled to climb it, but she does so anyway, making calls along the way to the loved ones she left behind. The Tower is a surreal, gorgeously musical experimental fiction podcast from Tin Can Audio.

Kane & Feels

Two paranormal investigators solve cases too strange for anyone else. And while this is always a fun premise, what sets Kane and Feels apart is its clever writing and equally surreal sound design. If you’re the re-listening type, you’ll pick up on new things each time.

That’s it from us this month. Don’t forget to preorder your copy of The Perfect Sentence and RSVP to the listening party if you’re able to attend! We’ll be back in your inbox in September!
