Jarnsaxa Rising

Thor's ex-lover takes revenge. In 2094, one corporation wins the battle for energy supremacy, but human costs cause global instability. When an abandoned wind farm in the Baltic shows inexplicable energy surges, two explorers find it has become sentient, and hungry. Using human pawns, Norse deities avenge ancient grudges, in this ten-part audio drama. Copyright 2015 6630 Productions. Listen Notes

Winter Solstice is here! The earth keeps turning! At least, we hope so. Again, it's that time of year, when those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are trapped in what feels like never-ending darkness. From all of us at 6630 Productions, we have a Yule gift for you. You've been good to us. You deserve it. Here's almost half an hour of Jarnsaxa Rising's behind the scenes moments, bits of our creative process, moments that had to be cut for time (what else was in Mr. Wallace's trophy case?) , and moments of giddy hilarity. Vince said that he hopes that this is as much silly fun as the blooper reel at the end of a Burt Reynolds movie.

Let us know what you think. We hope to hear from you. Whatever holidays you celebrate, enjoy, and may your new year be bright!

In the series finale, Jarnsaxa’s final battle with Balder and Thor forces her to abandon her usual tactics. Using Nikea’s flash drive, she explodes the witch bottle, attacking the corporation in a sonic storm. Thor takes her to Yggdrasil. Reunited with Eric, she must make hard choices about the future for her own children, and Eric’s.

Eric uses 21st-century tools to stop Thor, and Sif invokes Jarnsaxa. Heimdall is caught between Sif’s determination and Thor’s stubborness, and must carve his own path without the Aesir. Ratatoskr returns with intelligence from another world.

Jarnsaxa brings Nikea’s viral weapon back to the Hei Shui corporation but must continue posing as Agent Bachman and develop diplomatic skills, when The Interviewer gives her a risky invitation. Loki finds Jasper, and lands in the tightest vise he can imagine: the role of a devoted father. Eric and Sif go to Hel, find the trapped Scandia Energy workers from Sottunga, and Agent Bachman adds to the greater mystery. What could Hel want from Sif? Why are the voices of Stephanie, The Interviewer and SoloMom so compelling to Loki and Jarnsaxa?
