About
The ISPI Files is an audio drama I'm in the process of writing! It represents my personal philosophy surrounding stories, and all that's inspired me as a writer. I hope to finish the script, get my friends to help voice act, and release it as a podcast. I conceptualize it as a limited series, only ten episodes.
Official Description
A secret agent is tasked with protecting stories while they deal with the trauma of a past failure. Meanwhile, their handler tries to change the system, a group of researchers play with magic they probably shouldn’t, and a private detective tries to solve her biggest mystery yet— how does she keep traveling to other worlds? Why? And will she ever see her partner again?
The ISPI Files is an audio drama about the nature of stories, the way loving something changes us, and how even if things hurt, they can still be worth doing.
Characters
Agent 02 - VA: Miles-Remí
The main character. They’re dedicated to their work, and they struggle with the aftermath of an incident from three years prior.
Mel Carter - VA: TBD
A private detective. She worries that the person she loves will have moved on by the time she manages to find her way home.
Margaret LaBelle - VA: TBD
Agent’s handler. She suspects that the rules governing her organization are misinformed, and believes that the incident from three years prior wasn’t Agent’s fault.
Cricket Jones - VA: TBD
One of three researchers. When she is killed and brought back to life using advanced magic, she’s more interested in how the killer did it than why.
Holden Advani - VA: TBD
One of three researchers. Despite his anxiety, he is steadfast in his support of his friends in their times of need.
Zara Long - VA: TBD
One of three researchers. In her search for material for a final project, she accidentally uncovers a prophecy and a malevolent force.
Sei Takeuchi - VA: TBD
Mel’s employee. They know the city and have a sizable web of connections.
Judith - VA: TBD
An agent of chaos. Her refusal to play by the rules makes her valuable to Margaret.
The ISPI
The Institute for Story Preservation and Integrity, or the ISPI, is an organization dedicated to the protection of all stories. In order to do this, it sends agents into the worlds of the stories. These agents keep the stories going according to plan, thereby preventing them from destabilizing and becoming unrecoverable.
Agent, Margaret, and Judith work for the ISPI, under the designations 02, 01, and 07, respectively. Margaret no longer works as an agent, instead acting as head of the Institute.
Crow's Keep
Crow's keep is the setting of the internal story-- the world that Agent is sent into at the beginning of the show.
It is a city of knowledge and academia, founded centuries before the story begins by a powerful mage named Merriweather Crow. The city is built around a central university that teaches both magical and nonmagical subjects. It is home to Cricket, Holden, Zara, and Sei.
Playlists
Updates
This page of my site is officially live! I'll be adding more character playlists as I create them, and updating the bottom sections labelled as being under construction as the relevant content is finished.
Episode one is fully written, with work being done on the second. Select scenes from further episodes are finished, as well.
