About this listen

 *Excuse Us* is a darkly humorous, post-apocalyptic radio play set in the quiet town of Joiceville, where something went wrong at the local diner. The series is told through the perspective of Catherine L. Dee, the only survivor, as she recounts the bizarre and traumatic events leading up to the disaster. Through quirky, fragmented episodes, Catherine unravels her story—introducing listeners to the diner’s eccentric staff and the eerie happenings that took place under the surface of everyday life.
Meanwhile, a shadowy corporation known as Blind Corp. looms over the narrative. Behind the scenes, two operatives from Blind Corp work to piece together the mystery of the zombie apocalypse that tore the town apart, questioning Catherine in an attempt to understand the horror that unfolded.
The series blends cosmic horror, dark comedy, and human drama, as it explores themes of survival, corporate overreach, and the madness beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful town.

*Excuse Us* is an independent audio drama about a town falling apart, a mind cracking open, and the quiet, procedural terror of a corporation that won’t stay dead. Every word, sound, and spiral is crafted by a single human. Some voices are synthesized, but the collapse is entirely handmade.

    Episode Description Blind Corp is proud (and legally obligated) to present Excuse Us: The Mostly Musical Episode. This ambitious experiment features an almost-coherent lineup of songs — from heartfelt piano ballads to questionable K-pop choreography — all “generated” in partnership with advanced artificial intelligence, overseen by the late, great Geraldini de Arce. Yes, that Geraldini, the acclaimed music director whose final ten minutes of life were spent furiously composing the score you are about to hear. Was it a triumph of art and technology, or a cautionary tale about what happens when you put too much trust in both Hawk Juice and computers with feelings? Blind Corp refuses to comment. What we can confirm is that no artificial intelligence was harmed in the making of this program. Several, however, were disappointed in the final mix. From “Still Blind,” the heartfelt lament of a man turning into the audience, to “Gold-Plated Heart,” a brassy ode to pettiness and profit, and the unforgettable “Donkey Poop,” a protest anthem about narrative fertilizer, this episode has it all — except polish, rehearsal time, and Geraldini. Please enjoy responsibly. Blind Corp reminds you that applause is mandatory, refunds are not, and Accultis Regimus.

But you’ll love it. In the meantime, I need a favor.

    Company Bravo arrives in Joiceville to complete their mission, but not everything goes according to protocol. Inside the Super Awesome Diner, tensions rise, old wounds reopen, and the line between duty and disaster blurs. As the team confronts strange technologies, personal reckonings, and increasingly unexplainable events, one thing becomes clear: Joiceville doesn’t play by the rules.
