BE NOT AFRAID – Transmissions from Metatron

Trailer

Listen

BE NOT AFRAID is a fictional podcast, hosted by Enoch – the Metatron, archangel and voice of God. One of a kind, he is the only mortal to have been employed by God and turned into an angel. Now his main job is to report on important and historical events, broadcasting these to mortal prophets across time and space. Come along on his journey as he quickly forgets primitive concepts like the linear progression of time, and tries to discover what it means to be a multidimensional entity made of nightmares and forced hope.

Testimonials

It was great! Like a Greek myth, bible story, and BBC comedy rolled into one. I really love how you play with the Scripture but obviously still respect it!

A Book Nerd and The Bible

A really fun, light-hearted look into terrifying extremely powerful angelic beings. It’s well written, funny, and interestingly sound designed. definitely worth your attention.

Chain of Being

A wonderful and funny take on Biblical angels, God and Hell. If you like Good Omens or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I think you’ll enjoy this sense of humor!

Lady Renaissance

A narrated satire, Be Not Afraid reimagines the hosts of heaven as powerful beings with very human frailties. You’ll get shades of “Good Omens” and “Dogma” as you listen. Enoch, the narrator, does his best to do his job, but when God himself is distracted and out of touch, it’s a hard road to walk. So much harder for we mere mortals. A fun premise presented simply.

W. Keith Tims

There are so many loveable things! The writing is incredibly funny and the comedic timing is perfect. I really like the tone and the way the podcast interacts with the mythologies of the source materials. I love the shifting pronouns and the sense that sex/gender/the nature of humanity to these celestial beings is just slightly beyond our ken. Everything about this totally got me from minute one.

IOK

Be Not Afraid is a truly unique show created by a team of lovely, supportive people! If you want to experience a party hosted in THE Eden, a trip to hell, a biblical flood and more, this is definitely the show for you. It features many beloved Faustian Nonsense voices, too!

Faustian Nonsense Network

Look I already have a weakness for religious fiction, but the ethereal vocals (spoken and sung), down to the unnerving yet soothing production nails the biblically-accurate-angel vibes I’ve been looking for in a podcast.

SCENE: INTRO ENOCH: Be not afraid! It’s just me again, the voice in your head that you just can’t stop listening to. Don’t worry, you’re not insane. And even if you are, this message is more important than the state of your sanity so you will receive it either way. Let’s look into the vortex…
BNA 11 – Are there any girl angels?

SCENE: INTRO ENOCH: Be not afraid! I’m here to deliver a message, and that message is… uh. We’ll see. And also I want to update you a little bit about my own personal progress. I have no friends here, you see, and everybody needs someone to talk to. Even me. And you have to listen…
BNA 10 – Hell of a Book Club

SCENE: INTRODUCTION FX: (rummaging) ENOCH: (low humming) BEN: (glitch) ENOCH: (far away) Yeah, one second. Be not afraid! Be not afraid. I am here… inside your mind… to deliver a message!

BNA 09 – Hot Stuff

BNA 08 – Degrees of Freedom

SCENE 0: INTRO ENOCH: Be not afraid. Do brace yourself though, because you are about to receive another important message. A prophet once asked me, why do I need to listen attentively if there are thousands of other prophets just like me? Can’t I just listen for a couple of minutes? Or have it on…
