Advertise on podcast: Storm Runner - The Ezz Bennil Files

Hey, looks like Boat and Ezz are okay after all!

The season finale. Ezz and the Guns finally move on the Rings, right under the noses of the Paumat. Anthe shows her true colors. Old mysteries give way to new ones in this climactic conclusion. If there's no season 2, we riot.

In this week's episode of Between the Rings, we have a special guest coming in hot off her first full episode - Tara Kostmayer (Anthe)! Tara and Suzy (Ezz Bennil) talk about the sibling experience, acting without physicality, and the prospect of Anthe showing up in a mech suit. Anything can happen--even if it usually doesn't. You can find Tara's Instagram linked below: https://www.instagram.com/tarakostmayer

Ezz has to contend with the most formidable opponent of all: a family member with different political views. Polt makes a critical decision. Ezz and the Guns attempt a risky gambit.

Today, we interview a special guest, Jonathan Barouch, composer extraordinaire of the Storm Runner's iconic themes. We go over his creative process, his philosophies around music and character, and other projects he's involved in. Check out some of Jonathan's links below for other great projects he's involved in!

Desperate for fuel, Ezz tracks down some erstwhile allies. A figure from her past helps to orchestrate a daring escape. Boat disapproves of pretty much everything going on. That last sentence might as well be the tagline for the series.

This week we're going supersonic by jumping into all things sound. Aaron shares how he develops the myriad sound effects for the show, while Kevin talks about the diegesis of our score. All in preparation for Episode 7, which just might be our most ambitious episode to date.

Boat and Ezz finally find safe harbor in the custody of the infinitely Deamor. The whole cloudbeast problem should be an easy sell. After all, Ezz does so great in polite society.

This week we deep dive into Ezz's (reluctantly) faithful companion, BOAT (Aaron Sida Ding). We dig into the character's inception and how the whole team worked to craft the AI we know and love today, from vocal performance to all the beeps and boops.

Ezz goes spelunking for the truth and makes an unlikely ally beneath the planet's surface. The Paumat continue their meddling. Boat draws a line in the sand. Ezz loves stepping right on over those. Episode transcripts available here: https://www.stormrunnerpodcast.com/transcripts

Imprisoned aboard the Space Worm, Ezz finally gets a chance to stretch her legs when Droud needs someone to run an errand for him. He's not convinced the giant monster problem is really a problem. Let's hope he's right. Episode transcripts available here: https://www.stormrunnerpodcast.com/transcripts

Warning: Spoilers for Episode 03 This week on between the rings, we talk to--and about--everyone's favorite storm runner, Ezz Bennill. Susannah Snowden-Ifft (voice actress, producer) and Kevin Wright (writer, director) dive deep into the creation of the character of Ezz, discussing the challenges of depicting an old archetype with more modern sensibilities.

Welcome to our first episode of Between the Rings, where we go behind the scenes and talk about the production, lore, and characters of Storm Runner. This week's episode will be a freeform conversation introducing members of the production team and the voice actors behind the characters. We touch on the origins of Storm Runner and how all our roles helped make the show a reality.

After narrowly escaping an eldritch threat, Ezz and Boat search for allies in the celestial wilderness. They'll need to make friends for a job like this. Ezz is much better at making enemies. Episode transcripts available here: https://www.stormrunnerpodcast.com/transcripts
