What is Ballads of Beyond?
Ballads of Beyond: The Cavern at the Edge of Time is a fantasy story-telling podcast perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Doctor Who. It's magical, hilarious, and squeaky-clean. We started this podcast in hopes of not only providing people with a fun story to listen to, but in hopes of inspiring other writers with their stories.
Meet the Hosts of Ballads of Beyond!
Hello, all lovers of lore!
My name is Debbie Coll, a music teacher by day, a writer by night, and a composer on Tuesdays. I especially love stories that expand my mind, make me think, and involve time travel.
I composed the songs for "The Piper’s Mountain", a 2022 musical by Evangelyn Hill, while finishing my Bachelor in Applied Music: Composition. (I’m still not convinced that was me.) My current writing project is about time travelling secret agents, a rural Australian town and some inexplicable amnesia.
My dream job is meandering medieval bard or, failing that, time travelling secret agent. I love baking cookies and buying stationery, and can sometimes be coerced into hiking in the bush. I live in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, with my cat (Astrid), my dog (Ollie), and my parents.
For Ballads of Beyond, I contributed the backstories of the two main characters, their romance, and of course the time travel. I'm also working on the main theme music and editing the episodes.
Hi, I’m Rebekah!
I’m an aspiring author living out in the Irish countryside and also one half of the genius behind Ballads of Beyond. I’m all about fantasy and coming up with as many plot twists that can be accepted by my readers.
I’ve magically written seven novels, most of which will never see the light of day, and I am currently working on a trilogy that hopefully shall see the light of day. Involved in this trilogy is betrayal, love, an insecure prince, bestowed magic, giant dogs, sentient stars, vengeance, and a lot of pure insanity.
When I’m not writing, I’m reading because I have to be around words at all times (I’m very popular among librarians), biking down the bumpy country roads, snuggling my pet rabbit, or daydreaming up another story while drinking hot chocolate.
For Ballads of Beyond related contributions, I created basically all of Tip the bard, did the worldbuilding, and thought up the banshees. My voice will also be a contribution. I work on content creation and I'm learning to make websites specifically for this project :)
