No ReturnAuthor: Kier Zhou
No Return: An Audio Drama by Kier ZhouNo Return is what happens when you give one person too much coffee, a microphone, and a world that wont stop expanding.Its a fantasy series about gods, worlds, mercenaries, lost cities, and bad decisions but mostly its about people trying (and failing) to make sense of the mess theyre in. The tone swings from absurd to sincere, from divine slapstick to quiet tragedy. Sometimes all in the same episode.If Discworld got tangled up with The Wheel of Time and accidentally wandered into a Tom Sharpe novel, youd be somewhere close.The stories jump around the same world, exploring different but intertwined characters, stories and genres.Its made on a potato powered laptop, by a guy who clearly doesnt know when to stop.If you like things that are funny, sad, overcomplicated, and occasionally, accidentally, profound youll probably like No Return.But dont take my word for itThis show was nominated for Best Audio Drama at the New Zealand Web Fest and officially selected for the Cisco Web Fest, which is pretty good for someone who ran out of money to apply to any more festivals!Heres what listeners are saying:A journey through a creative mind like no other I cannot begin to imagine how this creator keeps all his characters and plot lines straight, but its a marvel. The quality and sound production are absolutely on point, but its the captivating writing and voice acting that keep you coming back. Chaotic [affectionate]. Each arc has something unique - sometimes gut-wrenchingly funny, sometimes grounded it keeps you on your toes.
