RQ Network Feed Drop – Remnants Ep. 1-
DEC 10, 2025
RQ Network Feed Drop – Remnants Ep. 1-

This month we are featuring a feed drop of one of many incredible podcasts on the RQ Network: Remnants, which is currently releasing its second season.  

 

Remnants is a weekly, thrilling, dark fantasy, audio drama filled with mystery and has just launched on the RQ Network.  

 

When we die, the remnants of us return to the First and Last Place. Our fate is decided by Sir and his new Apprentice, who read our remnants to determine whether they should be re-shelved or discarded. But what are the criteria? What happens to discarded souls? How are new lives for the re-shelved determined? And why, after untold stretches of existence, has Sir decided that he needs help to do it? 


Remnants explores the boundaries between right and wrong, examining humanity from its brightest and best to its darkest and most frightening, and all the grey in between. The Apprentice soon discovers that when we judge others, we often expose truths about ourselves. 


Remnants is from Eira Major the same brilliant creator behind the Spirit Box Radio and Not Quite Dead. 

 

Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby. Listen to Remnants on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or listen wherever you get your podcasts, or to learn more about Remnants check out its official website.
