Rootin' Tootin' Freshly Finished Audio Fiction!

In case you missed the news, The End has acquired Podvibes, a podcast-centric Mastodon instance that over-indexes on audio fiction fans and creators. The original maintainer, Nathan Lunsford—himself an audio fiction creator, deserves all the credit for launching the instance as Twitter was becoming Xitter (pronounce the X as "sh") and a wave of people where looking for alternatives. Now that it's in our hands, we'll continue his good work and re-double our efforts to make our small section of the Fediverse a welcome, inviting, and vibrant space for audio fiction creators and fans alike. So go ahead and create your personal account on Podvibes. It's free!

But this acquisition means more costs for me and us here at The End. I'm personally committed to delivering as much free stuff as I can to fans of audio fiction, but that means we need your support to do all of these things—with much more coming! So if you look forward to each issue of The End, please consider becoming an Individual Supporter. Just like Wayne J Parker did this week. Thanks, Wayne!

Or, if you're a fiction podcast producer and want to keep this valuable resource going, you can become a Supporting Creative Shop, just like Dumb Dragons Productions did this week. Thanks, Russ! They make their debut appearance in this week's issue.

So color me excited. And busy! Now—let's get into it, shall we?
