(production-notes) Episode 4.1 (Patreon)

Here we are, Season 4.0! New season, new characters, new music, and a new logo!

Cracking, isn't it? I could see that on a flag. Wait, I need to call my suppliers...

What a treat, thank you for everyone who gave me feedback about it, it's looking terrific! And of course, thanks to Lost Terminal artist Carl Huber (carlh.com) for the incredible design.

Thank you, too, for your patience today while I got the episode finalised, it's been a hectic week! LOTS of things happening in the Lost Terminal studio that is my house, including but not limited to: Wall demolition, furniture dis/assembly, newly-legal BBQs, and (finally) a transfer at my day job which will allow me to work fewer hours (you'll NEVER GUESS what I'm going to use the freed-up time for)   

I'm delighted to be able to feature as this episode's 'signal' a track by my good friend John Callaghan. (https://twitter.com/johnccallaghan). He's inspired a lot of my creative output over the years, and you've heard some of his influence on the show already - My last studio album 'c0ast' was mastered by him, as well as some of the tracks from it and my previous album 'NAMTAO 1986' being the result of jam sessions between us.

I've got a different idea for the direction of this season. I want to make both the episodes and the season as a whole more approachable - Ideally I want someone to be able to start at season 4.0 and not be TOO lost. And each of the episodes should stand on their own, to a lesser extent. Don't worry, there's still going to be a series arc, but a bit more poking around and finding out about stuff here and there, rather than just plot advancement. This made sense to me, now that Seth is firmly established in his new home.  

As Lucy announces in the credits, I'm trying out selling something other than tshirts: The Station 6 poster that if you were a patron as of the start of last season you will have received in A4 form, I'm now selling as a larger A3 poster! (Pre-order yours here at a discounted price https://www.lostterminal.com/store.html)

 Live in the USA and don't want to pay shipping and import from the UK? I have good news! Tshirt printing from the US is in the pipeline, and I will announce in a few days when I've refreshed the store with the S4.0 design. 

On another musical note, this episode features a new background music track, from the upcoming album Unsupervised Learning. There's drums, even! and an electric guitar! What will I think of next. 

WHAT A TREAT! And thank you so much for making this all possible <3
