Amie is the co-founder of the podcast network ‘Faustian Nonsense‘ (of which I am a member) and a showrunner of upcoming audio drama ‘Jack of All Trades‘. She is a self described “Rebounding ethicist, and a recovering attorney” and does her work with Faustian Nonsense ” for the sake of creating an ethical, thriving, hub of creativity and creators,”
I did my interview with Amie on the 7th of may, back-to-back with the other showrunner of JOAT and co-founder of FN Jaclyn Seelagy. The answer to the last question of the interview has been omitted as there was a discussion involving heavy spoilers for her upcoming Audio Drama. It was a very relaxed experience as I have worked with Amie for a while as a member of Faustian Nonsense, Amie was extremely helpful in this interview, she presented me with a lot of interesting new ideas about Audio Drama as a medium and the community as a whole. One thing that has stuck with me that was very interesting to actually hear put into words was the idea that there is a certain safety in Audio Drama as opposed to mainstream mediums as Amie puts it “If you, say, watched a CW show, [they find out] that the audience is mostly women and mostly queer folk [it] is immediately ignored and often punished,” instead, because there is such a direct move from a queer creators idea to seeing it realised, with very little interference, one can allow themselves to relax and not have to worry about tropes like bury your gays or the like.
