Lost In The Maze

Friends, ravers, mycelium, lend us your ears - Lost in the Maze is back again for 2025!

In this episode we take a look back and give you guys the low down on what happened storyline wise at Boomtown 2024 as we look forward to returning to our favourite sprawling adventure playground next month.

Thanks as ever to our wonderful community for sharing their experiences.  You can join in the hype on Instagram @LostintheBTMaze, or at the Boomtown Storyline Facebook group, or on the official Boomtown Storyline whatsapp community chat group. 

Keep your ears peeled for our next episode looking forward to this year when we once again chat to Megan, Boomtown's Head of Narrative, coming very soon!

The episode you've all been waiting for - we're chatting to Megan again (Boomtown's Head of Narrative) about what we can expect from the Story for 2024!

Storyline Meetup 2024 - Thursday 8th August 7pm outside the Bad Apple Bar 

As always, find us on the Boomtown Storyline Facebook group, on Instagram @LostintheBTMaze and on the Boomtown Storyline chat group on the app!

Finally, dear listeners, we're back!

Apologies for the lengthy radio silence, but here we are again with our special round up episode of the storyline at last year's Boomtown Fair 2023 where we all go on an Elen hunt.

There's also a special new segment we're dubbing 'Conspiracy Corner' where Mark goes off on one about his many wild theories and unsubstantiated speculation regarding where the story might be headed...

Big thanks to our friends Jem and Chris for joining us on this one (and being our questing buddies) 

As ever, give us a follow on Insta @lostintheBTmaze and come join the chat on the Boomtown Storyline Facebook group!

In our final week before the fair, We talk with the Luck Exchange and Rich Goldman about who they are, how they got in here and what they are up to at this years fair!

And this time next week, we will be at the fair! very exciting.

Find us on Instagram @LostintheBTMaze, we will be updating on our adventures at the fair!

Next episode will probably not be till October, for we are at festivals and away on holiday in September! 

The question we get asked more than any other is 'Where do I start with the Maze?' - hopefully this episode is going to go some way to giving us an answer to that question ahead of this year's Fair! 

We had the pleasure of chatting to Megan, Boomtown's Head of Narrative Design, about all things related to the story for this year, and got some great tips about how to get started, and how to get the most out of the incredible immersive world they're creating for us. 

Just three weeks to go people! Not that we're counting...

Rob Boggins, the sadly now ex-Editor in Chief of Boomtown's illustrious, infamous (and, well, only) newspaper, The Daily Rag, interviewed publically for the first time, tells all to Corinne and Mark about his time in control of the media (and, probably, our thoughts...)

Sketchy Background has now taken over the reigns of the Rag from Boggins, and can be contacted on Instagram @thedailyragboomtown

As ever, please give us a follow and let us know what you think on Insta @LostintheBTMaze

[Disclaimer: We tried something new with the mic set up in this one that didn't really work too well (oops) so some of the audio isn't as good/consistent as I'd like!]

Mark and Corinne are back! Summing up Boomtown 2022 with a much delayed review and summing up of 2023!

We've missed you! give us a shout on Instagram and let us know how you all are doing! : @LostintheBTMaze

We will be back this year with more content and interviews! 

In the second episode of our new season delving into the world of immersive theatre and games that you can enjoy from home, we chat to the guys from Sabotage the DM, The Waterdeep Mallrats (sabotagethedm on Twitch and YouTube, @sabotagethedm on Instagram).  They are a group of immersive actors (Joe Thorpe, Rob Thompson, Dan Burman, Gabrielle MacPherson and Evie James) playing a live, interactive D&D game weekly on Twitch on Monday nights at 7pm. As they refer to it, it's immsersive storytelling in a fantasy world!

We nerd out with them about all things related to D&D, and a bit about our first love, Boomtown (yep, they've all performed there too!) and about other projects they've been working on during this weird old year of lockdown life.

Lost in the Maze is back, back, back again with a new series for 2021 where we look into other immersive theatrical and gaming experiences, you can have during lockdown, from the comfort of your own  home!

We may have nothing new from Boomtown to talk about, however what we do have is someone (or well, two someones) who we know from Boomtown to talk to about what exciting projects they're working on right now (and to chat a little bit about their time at Boomtown, obvs)

In the first episode, we chat to the man, the legend, everyone's favourite, Mr. Bliss himself - Liam.

We recently had the pleasure of doing one of his latest interactive online gaming adventures, BantzQuest (brought to you by BuckBuck Games - http://www.buckbuckgames.com/) - An online team game, MC'd by a live interactive host, where you and your friends go on an adventure through the nightclub of your dreams in a quest to get your ultimate club banger played by the one and only, DJ MEGABANTZ.

We chat to Liam about what we thought of BantzQuest, about his other projects and his career in immersive theatre.  We also bring in some friends of ours who were on our kick-ass BantzQuest team to talk in a bit more detail about our experience.  As well as all that, we have the pleasure of the company of Dan, a BantzQuest MC/host, and veteran of Boomtown and other theatrical projects (one of which we will be discussing in a later episode...)

In each episode of this new series we will be talking about another interactive event/game/experience that you we've enjoyed and that you to can get invovled with.  If you're running out of ideas for your lockdown Friday nights, we've got you covered!

Mark and Corinne are (FINALLY) back with another episode! Tune in for a little Boomtown wrap up, what's kept us busy during lockdown and info about where the podcast is going from here...
