Anne walks us through all of the changes we've made since season 1, and answers some of your questions. About Scoring Magic Scoring Magic is presented by Hug House Productions.

2.23: Create Is... Still Feels Good?

Last year, we left off having just barely debuted Season 1 of VALENCE. Since then, we've been hard at work on Season 2 . . . or, at least, as hard at work as 2020 has let us be. What has it been like creating in 2020? How have we adjusted? How have we failed and triumphed--and what does that all mean for Hug House, VALENCE, and other creative works up our sleeves? We'll talk about all of this and more in Season 2 of Scoring Magic, coming January 2nd, 2021.

COMING SOON: Scoring Magic Season 2!

Season 1 of VALENCE is DONE! We DID IT! But just like when we release the first episode of VALENCE, we feel . . . weird. In this episode of Scoring Magic, we talk wrapping the season, we look back on early episodes of Scoring Magic, and we answer some of your questions!

1.22: Looking Back

It's a very NSFW one, pals! And also, it's got VALENCE S1E11 spoilers, so make sure you listen to that first! In this episode, I talk to Josh Rubino (Liam) and John Westover (Nico) about conveying "fuck energy." But also, we talk about modern art, control issues, and how people convey their trauma.

1.13: We Hecked Up

There are so many guides out there for how to make a podcast, and for how to make an audio drama. But there’s a difference between reading an article and hearing the reality behind the process. Scoring Magic is a podcast by Hug House Productions documenting every step of the process. Scoring Magic follows Anne Baird, Katie Youmans, and Wil Williams as they make their first audio drama. They’ll share tips, tricks, and resources, but also what it’s like to work on a massive creative project with friends. There’s going to be exciting highs, like the moment they decided to work together–but there’s also going to be some very honest lows along the way. And all of it will lead to an audio drama they hope you’re going to love.
