Excuse Us

Welcome to Joyceville, North Carolina, where the pancakes are hot and the corporate conspiracies are deadly. Miss Dee (Katherine Lynn D) is just trying to manage the Super Awesome Diner, but a forced partnership with Blind Corp unleashes a mutagenic energy drink called "Hawk Juice" upon the town. Now, as the infected "audience members" overrun the streets, the lone survivor sits in a sterile interrogation room. Under the watchful eyes of Agents Wilson and Doris, she must sift through her fragmented memories to explain how a thermonuclear bomb was disabled—and what Blind Corp's top scientists were really doing at th...

After the collapse of Joiceville, former diner manager Catherine Lynn Dee finds herself in a sterile Blind Corp interrogation room, recounting the chaos she barely survived. What starts as a routine debrief unravels into something stranger, darker, and far more personal. Nothing is simple when Blind Corp is involved. *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 8: “The Memo Went Out in Bold”
A suspiciously cheerful Blind Corp memo sends Joiceville’s offices into chaos while Susan Dee and a secret circle of coworkers plan a quiet, HR-friendly coup. Inspired by the fall of Julius Caesar, Liam Newton Johnson walks into his own corporate Ides, unaware that the floor, the walls, and the “audience” are already turning against him. When the knives finally come out, the boardroom becomes a stag,e and Rejoicing begins whether anyone wants it or not.

The walls of Joiceville close in as truth unravels. Lynn wakes on the diner floor, staring into the impossible face of her sister Susan—alive against all odds. But survival is no gift. In Blind Corp’s shadow, secrets twist into weapons: Thomas is locked away with only betrayal for company, Susan sharpens her case before the board, and Lynn’s grip on reality fractures in a haunted apartment where appliances whisper and ghosts of family echo through static. By the time the Bunny King names her a fox, the line between truth, madness, and Blind Corp’s designs is long gon...

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 computer...
