Release Schedule Change

10/14/2022
Last week we told you that there’d be only one review a month going forward and that is still true, a week from today the Book of the Weaver will be released on this feed. To our patrons though we are releasing these reviews a week early as a thank you for supporting us and this’ll be an additional benefit going forward, if you’re listening to this now, then that means it’s available on Patreon or the RSS feed Patreon makes for you. Lastly a small reminder that, while the reviews are only once a month now, we have another project coming up that’ll be released monthly as well, so we’ll have two episodes released on this feed every month. We’re keeping the details of the other project close to the chest right now but we’re excited for it and hope y'all will be too. Thanks for listening folks and we’ll catch you next week.
