Remnants : An Audio Drama
Eira Major's Hanging Sloth
55 episodes
4 days ago


A dark fantasy thriller audio drama.


When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place...


Remnants is a dark fantasy thriller audio drama following the Apprentice as he learns how to read remnants under the frustrating supervision of Sir. Remnants are seemingly innocuous objects – a broken pocket watch; a steel thimble; a silk scarf – but when the Apprentice looks closely, he sees how each one holds the remnants of someone’s life story.


Each week the Apprentice reads a new remnant, following that person’s journery beginning to end. When he’s done, he must make a judgement; shelve or discard. But he doesn’t know what the criteria is or what the consequences of such a judgement might be.


The more remnants the Apprentice reads, the more we begin to understand the magnitude of the task he has been set. And the more both we, and the Apprentice himself, wonder why it is him who has been chosen to do it.


With every week, a new mystery. With every new mystery, a terrible choice.

Real Remnants 5: Girls in Domestic Service

Hi folks! This episode explores the lives of girls in domestic service, providing what I hope is an interesting basic overview of how the profession has evolved from the Victorian period into today.
