About

Hesperus Labs

Hesperus Labs is an independent audio-drama studio making voice-driven hard science fiction and weird fiction. The shows are patient, painterly, and written for adults who like being trusted with a slow reveal.

How it's made

Independently produced, AI-assisted, and human-directed. Writing, story structure, direction, casting, sound design, and final edit are human decisions. Voice synthesis, illustration, and motion are produced with AI tools under that direction.

  • Voice synthesis — ElevenLabs
  • Illustration — Black Forest Labs Flux
  • Motion — Seedance
  • Writing assistance — Claude
  • Assembly — Python and ffmpeg

We name the tools because we think audiences deserve to know how what they're watching was made.

Support the work

The shows are free and always will be. Patreon supporters get episodes early, behind-the-scenes posts, and their name in the credits.
