Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of erotic mind control, identity manipulation, and submission dynamics. Episodes vary in focus, such as the finale 'Winner Winner,' reflecting on the nature of games and control, and 'Deep Fake,' which delves into reality perception and authorship. Other episodes explore uniformity, personal imagery, and psychological conditioning, creating a rich tapestry of adult themes.
Deep Dream State is a full-cast monster romance and desire horror audio drama by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns. As the originating work of desire horror, it locates the uncanny inside wanting itself. While conventional horror positions you against a threat, desire horror implicates you in it. The horror emerges from recognition: the realization of why characters stay, and why surrender feels like relief. Since 2017, the show has used research in dream science, surveillance studies, behavioral economics, and advertising technology to examine systems of control through immersive sound design and full-cast performance.
After After is the monster romance fifth season of Deep Dream State. Naia takes control of humanity’s next step, seven extrahuman factions make their case, and listeners vote on what comes next. Monster romance, desire horror, queer posthuman desire, and a species-level happily ever after.
