A Big Update (Patreon)

Hello lovely Patrons!

You might have noticed a few changes around here over the last 3 weeks. Well, that’s because we decided that I would work full time for Blighthouse.

I, being Volonda.

Life has been very kind over the last year to give me a wonderful job where I learnt a lot - but alas it took a lot of dedication, and thus all my time, due to it being a startup. It meant a lot of things were slipping in my life, which made me miserable. Plus some eye & health related issues, and the job not being storytelling, meant it was time to say goodbye to my job and give Blighthouse the love it deserves and go all in.

So I’m all in. 100%. Not part time, not around my job - more than full time. I am all in. 

For as long as we can support this - with the goal of being self-sufficient - I will keep doing this. 

I love our group of misfits, I love telling stories and I want my friends’ stories to see the light of day, because they’re awesome, just like them. And if that means I need to make spread sheets and make invoice templates and be a business and do casting calls and make supercuts of bloopers and read scripts and arrange advertising and argue with Youtube - then so be it! I will keep my nose to the grindstone to get our wonderful crew’s stories told, and to try and break even at least.

For listeners, what does this mean?

A show that makes my face hurt will be returning (and probably in video format too) plus episodes of our actual plays will be out on regular dates and we’ll get back to recording those very soon. 

There are also 3 other projects, 2 new, being worked on and will hopefully see the light of day soon.

TLDr: reliably scheduled releases, and hopefully more.

Alright enough of the sappy, what did we get done in this month of catch up?

• Patron Exclusive RSS feeds sorted

• RSS Feeds episode description updates

• IMDb updated

• Youtube releasing 1 video a day until all missing episodes are present

• Youtube updates (thumbnails, playlists, end cards, descriptions)

• Table read of a secret project

• Boring business paperwork crap and number crunching

• Lots of quality control (32 episodes!), lots of editing, lots of dope music - across all our shows!

• Missing AeMAs for Patrons sorted

• Various guest appearances on interviews 

• New art commissioned

• … plus even more boring admin and business stuff

• Oh, and Four Top Threes rebranded!

Hopefully now we’re caught up, we can maintain, and look forward!
