About this episode

The episode discusses the conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign and future plans for the podcast despite not meeting funding goals.

The Kickstarter has officially ended, and unfortunately we didn’t meet our goal or make the amount needed for Season Two. The money will now return to everyone who pledged it. It’s a blow, but made softer by the wonderful support, messages and donations we’ve received over the last few weeks. Whether you’ve been with us since the first Kickstarter, or found us only a few days ago, we cannot overstate just how much your listenership, love and support means and has meant to us. What comes next? We are not giving up on season two! We’re going to finish and lock the scripts, as we always planned, and see what we can do with alternate avenues of funding, ready to jump into production as soon as we find ourselves able. It means a much harder, slower road, especially with arts council funding all but dried up for podcasts, and with no money, backing or networks supporting us at this current time. We’re going to start putting out feelers, and see what we can do into the new year. As a huge thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us, we intend to produce a small bare-bones winter special over the next few months. We’ll keep you updated as we can, but we can reveal it will…
