Our newest "Hello From the Magic Tavern" edit is now out, where the illustrious Dripfang LeDesparé (played by @kevinsciretta.bsky.social) visits the new king and demands to be given a royal House. This was an incredibly fun and chaotic episode to work on, and we can't wait for you to listen!

I would have much rather written this week's blog post about podcaster resources like I'd originally planned, but have noticed a suspicious trend in AI agents targeting podcasters and other creatives that I feel is a bit more important to focus on instead.

Quite literally the last thing we wanted to do this week was write a blog post about AI spam, but considering its sudden influx into the podcasting space, we figured it was time to talk how to protect yourself and your podcast from autonomous AI agents. Check out this week's free Patreon blog:

If you love audio fiction, join @chiaudiocollective.com on Oct. 1 at 5PM central for a Zoom conversation with Sarah Jamgotch, award-winning indie director and creator of the sci-fi horror audio drama series Frequency. Learn more at chiaudiocollective.com/meetings.

We wanted to shout out a horror fiction podcast we love- "The Gospel of Haven" by @eelsongstudios.bsky.social, where a devout believer and a closet heretic, who are members of a cult that reside in the living body of their god, strive to uncover the truth behind a dangerous infection of its body.

We are at 51% funded for I Need A Miracle Season 2 and just 6 days left. Let's make it happen! Would appreciate signal boosts so folks find out about what a fab show this is! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/miracle

Writing + casting I Need A Miracle season 2

I want to pay a pantheon of writers to pen a second season of the micro-fiction podcast I Need A Miracle.

This is a weird stage of crowdfunding for this sort of amount specifically, where pledges have hit 4 figures so yay, but the amount remaining is also still 4 figures so oh dear. I think we need like £166 to get the outstanding balance under 1k crowdfunder.co.uk/p/miracle

Dark Dice was actually the first fiction podcast I'd ever worked on, so it's always going to be near and dear to me. It's wild to think that I started working on it seven years ago. Both I and the show have grown and improved so much since then 🥲

Dark Dice is heading back to NJ Web Fest this year with a nomination for Best Editing in an Actual Play! We originally began working with Fool & Scholar and editing Dark Dice in 2019, and it's great to see how much the show has grown since then. Thank you #NJWebFest for the nomination!

We wanted to shout out a fiction podcast we love that's currently raising funds for its second season. "I Need a Miracle" is an original micro-fiction podcast where each episode is a prayer, some prayers are answered, and a miracle can upend the world. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/miracle
