On May 4, we had 24,000 downloads.

It wasn’t easy when we stopped recording so that we could do our part to stop COVID-19. We took a hit in listenership because we were no longer dropping episodes every week. We could no longer boast 100 downloads a day. Our listener line graph started dropping in March. We were concerned about our future, but we kept moving forward.

We started recording episodes piecemeal in mid-May. We only allowed a couple of actors in the studio at a time, scheduled recording sessions to allow for us to clean the equipment and doorknobs, and accepted home recordings from actors who were not ready to reenter the studio. We were able to drop episodes every week again, thanks in large part to the heroic efforts of our sound engineer.

Our line graph is looking good again.

Today, June 27, at 9:46 pm, we crossed 28,000 downloads.

Things will only get better, unless you live in Gamote Point. Things are not getting better there. We’ve read the scripts.

As we get back to the new normal after COVID-19, we still are telling a story of scandal, intrigue, and salaciousness fifteen minutes at a time.

Thanks for hanging in there with us.

We just dropped Episode 66, The Coming War. We are tickled pink to be recording and dropping episodes again.

We are doing this with social distancing in mind, which means we only have two or three actors recording at a time, and some others are recording from home. Putting several voices together is going to require a great deal of cut and pasting from our heroic sound engineer, who does a great job.

We understand that the recording may not be perfect, but we’re getting it done. We are adapting, improvising, and overcoming fifteen minutes at a time.

Thanks for being patient with us as we get back to normal.
