It Shouldn't Be Taxing To Listen To Finished Audio Fiction

Hooray! Tax day is behind us. Last year was... woof. Here's to better figures in 2024!

Speaking of money, I must give a huge thanks to the fiction podcast powerhouse that is Lindsay Harris Friel for signing up ADWIT—the Audio Drama Writer's Toolkit—as a Supporting Creative Shop! It's a podcast with a simple premise: better writing leads to more good audio drama podcasts for all of us to enjoy. I appreciate your support, Lindsay. It means a lot. And if you're inspired by Lindsay's action and have a spare $25 bucks in your pocket, that's all it takes to become a supporter of The End! 100% of the proceed go back into running the site, and I'm nowhere near break-even just yet. So if you can help, please do.

Speaking of help, a very gracious long-time fan of The End asked if they could do more. Like, a lot more. Like, 10x more! So yes, I happily accepted that wonderful and thoughtful contribution to the cause. So if you look at the support options and think, "Well, that's too cheap," know that I agree completely! Just drop me a note and I'll send you a link so you can contribute as much as you'd like.

One last thing: I dropped a bomb on the podcast-listening app developer community last Sunday, with an article titled Unlocking the Potential of Fiction Podcasts: A Call to Podcast App Developers. If you'd like to understand the challenges new listeners of fiction podcasts face, give it a read. And if you read that last sentence thinking "I have no problems listening to fiction podcasts," you should read it just to see all the hoops you've trained yourself to go through to improve your listening experience. Send your hate mail to [redacted].

There are plenty of newly and not-so-newly completed shows/seasons to let you know about, so let's get into it, shall we?
