When observing a wormhole, Moya is caught by a ship-eating fungus that drifts through space. As it tears its way through the Leviathan, the crew tries to balance repairing the ship with repairing their own relationships…
Dear listeners:
It saddens us to inform you that one of us has recently experienced a terrible tragedy. Brandi, a.k.a. sirius20_81, recently gave birth to a baby girl named Leelu Shea. Tragically, Leelu died less than an hour after she was born due to complications in her heart.
We at Made Of Fail consider our listeners our extended family, and we try very hard to take care of our own. So we’re doing a donation drive to help Brandi and her family. We can’t turn back time and make everything better, but what we can do is try to make day-to-day things a little easier while she and her family take the time to grieve. We hope this will help take care of things like hospital and medical bills, funeral arrangements for Leelu, and any other care the family needs.
If you cannot donate money, please repost this wherever you can, and leave a comment expressing your sympathies and/or prayers. You are in our thoughts, Brandi, and we hope this helps even the tiniest bit.

“Promises”
Upon returning to Moya, Crichton and company are immediately greeted by Aeryn. Unfortunately, she’s extremely ill, getting worse, and is being hunted across the Unknown Regions. What’s worse is that she’s not alone…

“Lava’s a Many Splendored Thing”
In which our heroes find themselves with a case of Noranti-induced food poisoning and make an emergency pit stop on an inhospitable volcanic world. Rygel’s treasure finding sense tingles, and he stumbles across a vast trove of someone’s treasure. Naturally, there are traps, thieves, and a neat new technology.
Kevin here.
This Thanksgiving, I realize I have a lot to be thankful for. Wonderful friends. A lovely fiancée. Mass Effect 2 (You are a horrible, meddlesome girl, Tessa, and I love you so). I could make a list, but the absolute top would be Made of Fail.
This show was a turning point in my life. It was the moment when two friends decided to have some fun, and it snowballed into all of this. Made of Fail Productions, now about to add two – maybe three or four – radio dramas to its already impressive lineup of three podcasts, a crapload of blogs, and more friendships than I can do service to.
It is because of all of this that I am where I am today, at the heart and soul of this crazy steamrolling ball of insanity that I love so much. I have been taking more and more charge of the Production company as a whole, which is what this is turning out to be, and as such, there needs to be a bit of a change.
I would like to take this moment to announce that, as of January, I am stepping aside as host of our flagship podcast, Made of Fail, and handing the reins over to Dayna. In my opinion, she has – more than me – helped shape this one little show into what it is today, and I have full faith in her ability to take the lead and run it in whatever direction she chooses. She may have some formatting changes, or she might keep things exactly as they are, but the decision is now hers and hers alone.
Does this mean I am leaving? No. I will remain the Owner and Lead Producer of Made of Fail Productions. I will still seek out and start up new projects, take submissions from outside sources, and figure out what the hell this is all shaping up to be. I’m also not leaving our flagship podcast completely, either; I will be coming on as a guest-host now, on whatever episodes Dayna wishes me to take part in, or whichever episodes have the topics I want to discuss. I’m still writing for Deconstructing Moya, and I’m never going away.
This is not a decision I make lightly – it has been in the works for a few months, and it has been on my mind for over half a year now. The whole thing has just gotten so big, and it warms my heart that we’re so important to all of you. It is because of this that I wish to do you all the justice of continuing to have the shows, features, blogs, and other fun projects that you love so much. There will be more of the same, and more of the new, and much much more of Noel than we ever wanted to see in the first place.
Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Holidays, and Happy Failcraft Adventuring to all of you.
May we stay on the air forever.
Good news, everyone!
We’re expanding yet again. Made of Fail Productions is currently in pre-production for a brand-new project: Failcast Audio Dramas! We’ll be bringing you scripted stories that you can listen to at your leisure, anywhere you can play MP3s!
What’s even more exciting than that? The fact that you might be the stars! That’s right; when we’re ready to cast roles in these fantastic stories, we’ll be putting out the casting call to you guys! Don’t think you’re good enough? Try out anyway, you never know! Still don’t think you’re good enough but have other talents you might want to use? We’ll be looking for sound effect mixers, script writers, and directors for these projects.
More details will follow in the coming weeks. Until then, don’t touch that dial!
