Summary
The Debt Collector Artificial Intelligence, Bee, inhabits the bodies of those who miss subscription payments to utilize their own brains, voluntarily pulled from their heads and enhanced. When opportunity arises, Bee enacts a daring plan to break the cycle of her monotonous existence. Written by Sophia Wells ( www.instagram.com/sophia.wells ) Narrated by Erika Ventura ( https://instagram.com/efventu ) Produced by Karl Hughes ( https://bsky.app/profile/karlhughes.bsky.social ) With music by Phat Phrog studio ( https://www.phatphrogstudio.com/ ) And Dark Fantasy Studio ( http://darkfantasystudio.com/ ) And Thom Robson ( https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/ ) And sound effects provided by Freesound.org The episode illustration was provided by Matt Seff Barnes ( https://www.mattseffbarnes.com/ ) Joshua Boucher is our story programmer. Jasmine Arch manages our community. Mary Pastrano helps orchestrate the chaos. And the show would collapse into static and screams without the ongoing work of Karl Hughes, Georgia Triantafyllopoulou, and James Barnett — AKA Jimmy Horrors. Sophia Wells is a speculative fiction writer from Atlantic Canada. When not dreaming up her next story, she works as an Engineer-in-Training and (un)professional cat petter. This is her first publication. Instagram: www.instagram.com/sophia.wells Erika Ventura is an artist, mother, bilingual narrator, and a painting instructor. How does she manage it all?
