Love, love, LOVE the well thought out intertwining story lines, and the themes that really make you step back & look at our present societal problems with fresh eyes. All we need now is a Season 4, Season 5, Season…!
I thoroughly enjoyed the podcast. Hope it comes back. I don’t have much, but I’m going to upgrade my tier level on Patreon.
1 star not for the podcast itself just because we started season 2 so long ago and then ????? Nothing? Despite season 2 seemingly already having been fully funded? Am I missing something?
A really interesting mix of dark comedy, mystery, and the supernatural. The characters are complex and the plot is really compelling. I would give it 5 stars if it didn’t suddenly stop releasing new episodes out of the blue.
How are you still taking donations and you haven't put out episodes in years? You keep posting all of these other episodes from other podcast, but no one wants to see that. I feel like you only do that so you can keep this podcast "alive" and collect more donations. Put out new episodes or just end this podcast and stop taking donations for a project you are putting zero effort into anymore.
I loved this shows premise (over 4+ years ago) but these antics are ridiculous.
